Chapter 252 Calligraphy
Zheng Yun had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow into the study, followed by Hu Shiling, Zhang Yuan, and Zhao Jing.

Zheng Yun also noticed before that the decoration of Gao's house is also quite classical in style, with Chinese paintings and calligraphy works hanging everywhere, and the room is full of scholarly atmosphere, and when he comes to the study, this atmosphere is even stronger.

But seeing that all the furniture and furnishings are completely classical, there are pens, ink, paper and inkstones on the mahogany desk, various calligraphy and painting scrolls are placed in the big vat, and many calligraphy and painting works are also hung on the four walls.

It is not painting that Zheng Yun really worked hard on when he was a child. Under the influence and request of his father, he practiced calligraphy five hours a day from the age of five to ten, and put in hard work for five years.

In painting, he only learned some sketching techniques and stick figures, which is far behind calligraphy.

Although he has worked hard for several years, he hasn't touched a brush for so many years. As the saying goes, if you don't write calligraphy for three days, it means that no matter how many years you have practiced calligraphy, as long as you don't touch the brush for a few days, you can write When I was young, my hands trembled easily, and my strokes were not stable.

Therefore, at this time, he was really afraid that the other party would let him show his hands.

Before Mother Gao could speak, Xu Meijia pointed to a calligraphy work and asked with a smile, "Zheng Yun, I wrote this work. What do you think?"

Zheng Yun was really afraid that the other party's writing was excellent, beyond his own eyesight, but when he saw the words, he immediately felt relieved, but seeing that the writing was written like a dog scratched it, how disgusting it was.

In any case, he has practiced hard for five years, and he is still clear about some stages of progress in the process of practicing calligraphy.

In particular, his father taught him a lot of calligraphy-related knowledge during that process. Even if he can't write now, he can still speak a few words in vernacular.

He saw that the other party wrote regular script with a facial style, but the writing was really disgusting.

First of all, the strokes are frivolous and boring, and almost all of them are big slant, while calligraphy is mainly centered, requiring strong strokes.

What's more, the thickness of the strokes between the characters is extremely inconsistent, and the characters are deliberately written crookedly, large and small, and the large characters are several times larger than the small characters.

In the end, Xu Meijia looks very fashionable and beautiful, but her character looks domineering and hideous, like a ghost.

Zheng Yun looked at it, and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Is it poorly written?" Xu Meijia asked a little embarrassedly.

"What a crap!" Zheng Yun smiled unceremoniously.

What he said was too rude, and it was very embarrassing for others. Xu Meijia's face was hot, and she was very embarrassed.

Zheng Yun said with a smile: "We are relatives, so I won't be polite to you. Besides, I am very angry with this kind of calligraphy!"

Hearing Zheng Yun's words, Xu Meijia's embarrassment eased a lot, and she said with a smile: "I also ask Teacher Zheng for advice!"

Although Zheng Yun hasn't touched a brush for many years, he pays a little attention to things like calligraphy and painting on weekdays, and pays attention to relevant news reports for a while.

He knew that the world of calligraphy today is in chaos. Those so-called calligraphers scribble nonsense and write in weird shapes on purpose. What’s even more disgusting are those who write with their eyes closed, those who use a needle to hold ink to spray lines, and those who use a mop to write. Yes, those who write with ink on their hair, and those who write with ink on their tongues.

It's fine if you do it like this, it's also considered performance art, but these people just think they are doing calligraphy, which is disgusting.

What's even more exasperating is that when those wacky "masters" "write", there are still many people applauding, and these masters don't blush, their hearts don't beat, and they start the performance in a serious manner.

Every time Zheng Yun saw this, he wanted to grab the master by the hair and kick him in the face.

Zheng Yun explained these thoughts and finally said that Xu Meijia must have been influenced by those "masters" and had some special characteristics.

After listening to Gao's mother, she seemed to have found a comrade, and said with a smile to Xu Meijia: "Little sister, I said that you are wrong in writing this way, and you can't understand traditional things. What innovation are you trying to do!"

Xu Meijia seemed to be deeply poisoned, and she was still unconvinced, saying: "Which great calligrapher in history didn't have his own unique style? If everyone writes the same, then there is nothing to see!"

"I can't say no to you, anyway, I just think you can't write like this! Zheng Yun, what do you think?"

Zheng Yundao: "What is unique and not unique? If you can write like Wang Xizhi now, are you still you? What kind of company do you still have? Just write a word and sell tens of millions, but can you be the same as Wang Xizhi?"

Mother Gao covered her mouth and laughed a few times, and said, "It's better to say what Zheng Yun said!"

Xu Meijia frowned slightly, and seemed to be caught in a contradiction. She didn't know whether it was better to inherit the tradition or innovate.

After a while, she still said: "But modern people have to learn from Wang Xizhi? Isn't it good to create a unique style?"

Zheng Yun thought for a while and said, "I don't know if it's good or not. Anyway, I've seen so many innovative ones, and I haven't seen any good ones except for being disgusting. If you want to be innovative, go for it. You can also make fun of it, haha ..."

Xu Meijia has been innovating and creating for several years. Many "masters" praised her for her great progress. Unexpectedly, Zheng Yun said that she was nothing, and she was still very depressed.

Mother Gao smiled and said, "Zheng Yun, look at this picture, I wrote it!"

Zheng Yun saw that Gao's mother wrote European style regular script, and he was also practicing European style at the beginning.

As far as the European style is concerned, it has been called the extreme standard of regular script by calligraphers of all dynasties, that is to say, in terms of regular script, the European style is the most standardized and dignified, and has developed the rules of regular script to the extreme.

However, European style regular script is also the most difficult to practice. Zheng Yun didn't practice handwriting well at the beginning, so he broke more than a dozen brushes in anger. It can be seen that he has a very temper since he was a child, and he is not suitable for practicing calligraphy at all.

Compared with other styles, Zheng Yun knows Ou Ti the best. After looking at it, he said, "Auntie, this Ou Ti has three or four years of skill."

"Excellent! Auntie has practiced European style since the beginning of brush calligraphy, and it is exactly four years today! How do you look at the writing?"

Zheng Yun looked at it again, and said: "Auntie, the most important thing is to use the center of the brush calligraphy, I see that many of your characters are slanted, this is not good, there is no... no bone strength!
If it is center forward, the strokes will have a three-dimensional effect; if it is slanted forward, the writing will be flaky, which is not good-looking. "

Gao's mother nodded again and again, and said: "I said, why is it always wrong when I write it out, I don't have the slightest look!"

Xu Meijia didn't take it seriously, saying that her teacher said that if you want a center forward, you must also be a slant forward, so that you can be colorful.

Zheng Yundao: "Let me ask you, why is calligraphy called calligraphy?"

Xu Meijia thought for a long time but couldn't say it.

Zheng Yun said, doesn't it have the word '法', just like when you play chess, the rules are set by others, and everyone plays according to these rules.

For example, the rules for the use of pens by the center and the structure of strokes were all set by ancient calligraphers. Now you have changed those rules in a mess, who will play with you?Go and enjoy yourself!

"That's right!" Xu Meijia smiled and nodded. After a while, she insisted on asking Zheng Yun to write a work on the spot.

When Gao's mother saw that Zheng Yun really knew calligraphy, she became more and more impressed with him, thinking that this little Zheng is really amazing, he can be "vicious" and "elegant", and he is also a business genius!
With this in mind, her eyes showed admiration.
