Chapter 77 Lanting Preface
"Anchor, anchor, go on, go on."

"Are you still going?"

"Yes, we all want to hear your stories about the ancient city of Shaoxing. Of course, we also like the beautiful prose you read."

"actually……"

After reading "Social Play", Chen Fan paused.

Looking at everyone's comments on the public channel, Chen Fan said: "There are many stories about the ancient city of Shaoxing, about Lu Town. Here, he also lived with Kong Yiji, Ah Q, and Mrs. Xianglin."

"Kong Yiji, Ah Q, Mrs. Xianglin... who are they?"

"This..."

Chen Fan shook his head: "I won't introduce it for now."

He hasn't figured out how to introduce the characters in these works to everyone.

In fact, when introducing Lu Xun, Chen Fan hesitated for a while.

Because, after the Ming Dynasty, many things in this world were different from the previous life.

Regarding the content introduced by Lu Xun, there are many backgrounds that are different from this world.

Especially the ironic works written by Lu Xun.

Although Chen Fan can also show it, but...if the background of this world is not well introduced, the audience may not be able to feel the greatness of these works.

but.

To really introduce the background of Lu Xun's era, this is a bit big.

Not only big.

And it involved too much content, Chen Fan didn't know how to introduce it all at once.

But that's fine.

The previous articles are just ordinary prose, and do not particularly need the background of the times.

Viewers and readers can just regard him as an essay or a story.

As for the latter.

Chen Fan thought for a while and said, "Let's go, let's go to Lanting."

To talk about Shaoxing, he is not only the ancient city of Shaoxing.

such as.

Among them, the famous Lanting, Chen Fan is very interested.

Before that, many internet celebrities, scholars, calligraphers... also went to Lanting.

But in the past two days, it seems that there is not much effect.

……

About half an hour later, Chen Fan arrived at Lanting by car.

Lanting is located in Lanting Town, Shaoxing, which is a famous hometown of calligraphy.

There have been many calligraphy figures successively.

As soon as he arrived at Lanting, Chen Fan broadcast live again.

"Everyone, we have arrived at Lanting."

Lanting is actually not big.

The real core location is such a small pavilion of more than ten square meters.

But at this time, it is a bit lively here.

A group of calligraphers are holding a Lanting Cup calligraphy competition.

Chen Fan ignored them, but turned around the place with his mobile phone for a few times.

It's just that everyone was not interested, and said: "Anchor, this Lanting is too small, it's not interesting."

"Didn't you see they were holding a calligraphy competition?"

"We know that Lanting is the hometown of calligraphy, but what's so good about calligraphy."

"You guys... okay, I'll tell you a story about the calligrapher Wang Xizhi."

Chen Fan smiled.

Ordinary calligraphy masters naturally have nothing to say.

But what about Wang Xizhi?

"Scholar?"

"certainly?"

Chen Fan said: "During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was a calligrapher named Wang Xizhi. He was good at calligraphy at the age of seven, and studied under Mrs. Wei and Zhong Yao at the age of 12. It is said that Wang Xizhi practiced calligraphy hard when he was young, but he cleaned the dirty pond in front of the door. He was dyed black. Because of his high talent and his ability to learn from others, the world commented on his calligraphy as light as a frightening bird, as graceful as a dragon wandering, with a glorious autumn chrysanthemum, and a lush spring pine. It seems as if the moon is covered by light clouds, floating It's like the snow returning from the flowing wind..."

"Pian is like a frightened bird, graceful like a swimming dragon... I'll go, do you want to be so exaggerated."

"No, no, it's not an exaggeration at all. Because of his status in calligraphy, the world respects him as a calligrapher."

"Tsk tsk, well, anchor, you won. I was attracted by what you said about Wang Xizhi. However, if you want to talk about the sage of calligraphy, I guess many people will not accept it."

"Don't worry, I'll tell you slowly."

Chen Fan was not in a hurry: "Let's listen to some short stories of Wang Xizhi first."

If you want to talk about Wang Xizhi, you can't talk about his calligraphy right away.

Calligraphy is really difficult for ordinary people to appreciate.

Therefore, Chen Fan first planned to start with some short stories of Wang Xizhi.After thinking for a while, Chen Fan said: "Wang Xizhi was born in a famous family in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He was the second son of Wang Kuang. At that time, there was a calligrapher named Xi Jian who was also an important minister in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He is very beautiful and virtuous. Once, Xi Jian came to the home of Wang Xizhi’s uncle Wang Dao. Because his uncle was the prime minister at that time, Xi Jian said he wanted to find a son-in-law. Wang Dao said yes, I have many children in my family, you Pick whatever you want, whatever you choose.”

The story is still very interesting.

Chen Fan just started, and immediately attracted a lot of fans.

"After a few days, Xi Jian came to Dao Wang's house again with generous gifts. When the children of Dao Wang's family heard that Xi Jian was coming to choose a son-in-law, they all wore new clothes and carefully dressed themselves, hoping to be selected. It just seems that It seemed that Xi Jian didn't like these children very much. After counting the number of people, he found that one person was missing. So the steward of the palace led Xi Jian to another east study, and found a young man sleeping on the east bed. In the morning, he didn't care about Taiwei's selection of son-in-law at all. Then the housekeeper said to Xi Jian that there were more than 20 young princes in the Wang's mansion. The son was sleeping on the bed, not interested. Xi Jian said, I want to choose this kind of person. So, the steward took Xi Jian to the East Study Room, saw that this talent is both good and beautiful, and offered the bride price on the spot. This one is on the east bed The person who slept was Wang Xizhi. So, later, there was the saying that the east bed is a quick son-in-law."

"East bed quick son-in-law, isn't this just lying on the bed and marrying a daughter-in-law?"

"Hahaha, interesting, interesting, really interesting."

Although this is just a short story, it is fresh and unique, and it is very memorable.

Many people said one after another: "Anchor, anchor, continue, continue."

Chen Fan smiled slightly, and continued: "This is just a small episode. There are many stories about Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. Once, the emperor was going to the northern suburbs to offer sacrifices, and asked Wang Xizhi to write his congratulations on the wooden board, and Send workers to carve. The carver was very surprised when he was carving, because he found that the writing force written by Wang Xizhi actually penetrated more than three parts into the wood. So, this is called penetrating wood three parts."

"Three points into the wood, I rely on it, it really is a book sage."

Before, everyone still had some doubts about whether Wang Xizhi was a sage of calligraphy.

But following Chen Fan's few short stories, they unconsciously regarded Wang Xizhi as a calligrapher.

But Chen Fan's story is not over yet.

Today's Lanting is the key point.

Then, Chen Fan continued: "In 353 A.D., Wang Xizhi and a group of friends came to Lanting to drink and write poems. Wang Xizhi compiled these poems into a collection and wrote a preface. This preface is called "Lanting Collection Preface." ". Because this preface is written in running script, the Preface to Lanting Collection is also known as the best running script in the world..."
