Chapter 46.Hundred Years of Life Picture

Starting with 10 civilization points?

Upper limit unknown?

Doesn't that mean it's worth at least 2000 million?

Ren Ping was shocked, and now he completely woke up.

As noted in the system, intangible cultural heritage usually refers to cultural arts or traditional crafts without entities.

Such as calligraphy, opera, traditional Chinese medicine, and even singing and dancing.

Unlike cultural relics, which directly condense historical culture, it is difficult to judge commercial value.

But this is also relative.

In recent years, there has been a wave of protection of "intangible cultural heritage" all over the world.

The Chinese government also attaches great importance to it. Many intangible cultural heritages have been protected and promoted. It can be said that the business prospects are increasingly broad.

the most important is--

Don't forget, the system is from the future!

The things it detects and identifies are absolutely extraordinary!
Sitting up from the bench, Ren Ping rubbed his forehead to wake himself up.

Then he looked around and quickly locked on to a gazebo more than ten meters away.

At this time, the gazebo was already surrounded by more than half a circle of more than a dozen old people.

Calligraphy works written in thick ink are scattered everywhere on the railings, marble steps, and scattered stone piers.

When Ren Ping approached quietly, he saw that surrounded by a crowd of old people was indeed a little girl.

This girl is not very old, maybe only eight or nine years old, wearing a light pink dress, light sandals, and a short ponytail, she looks cute and cute.

The facial features are also extremely delicate, with a full forehead, deep eye sockets, cherry lips and pink nose.

At a young age, she was born with a beauty embryo.

What is impressive is that he is full of generosity and decent temperament in every gesture, and there is no lack of agility and wisdom between glances.

If it wasn't for her small stature, she would almost be an elegant woman exuding classical oriental beauty.

Such a stunning little girl.

Unexpectedly, at this time, she was holding a bamboo pen that was almost as long as her arm.

With a body like a mountain, chest closed and back straight, his face is calmly swaying on the rice paper.

Although Ren Ping doesn't know calligraphy, he can tell that she is extremely experienced in posture, technique and brushwork, which can be seen from the skills of a child since she was a child.

The rice paper she wrote on was huge in size, and when spread out, it was almost twice the size of her entire body.

At the end of the writing, I had to hold it down with one hand and slowly turn the direction, so that I could write calmly with the other hand.

But what is even more shocking is that at this moment, what Ren Ping saw in his eyes were all the characters Shou arranged in an orderly manner!
Each of these longevity characters is two inches in size, which is normal.

However, dozens of longevity characters are arranged in parallel to form three horizontal lines.

There are more than a dozen from the top, one down, and arranged to the end.

It is very similar to the first four strokes of the character Shou.

This... seems to be forming a bigger longevity character!
"It turns out that the so-called picture of one hundred longevity is not a painting, but a writing, writing longevity characters,"

"It's just that the word longevity is the overall layout,"

"Each stroke in it is made up of a hundred characters of longevity..."

Seeing this scene, Ren Ping suddenly realized, and finally understood what a picture of a hundred longevity is.

At the same time, information flooded into my mind.

More relevant information was also excavated from the system like a flood.

Baishoutu began in the Southern Song Dynasty in Chinese history.

The location is Guangdong and Guangxi in the south of Lingnan, a place called Baishou Town.

Legend has it that there used to be a well there, and after drinking from it, the nearby residents all lived long and disease-free.

Later, because someone dug a well to get water, it dried up.

In the second year of Shaoding in the Southern Song Dynasty, when he was the local magistrate of Yongning County, an elegant scholar named Shi Wei expressed his feelings.

On his birthday, he wrote a huge character for longevity, and invited hundreds of long-lived elders in the county to also write a small character for longevity, which was placed in the strokes of the character for longevity.

Then hire a skilled craftsman to engrave it in a natural cave next to the well.

This incident later spread widely, and literati continued to visit this place, and imitated this method and wrote the word "longevity" in order to symbolize longevity.

Over time, that cave was called Baishouyan.

And this special calligraphy art of composing a big longevity character with one hundred small longevity characters has been handed down all the time, which is the picture of a hundred longevity!

The Baishou map originated in the Southern Song Dynasty, nearly a thousand years ago.

In addition to the traditional folk culture of praying for longevity, more importantly, it covers thousands of years of calligraphy art in China.

You must know that the one hundred characters "xiaoshou" that make up the character "dashou" are not static.

Instead, the characters are required to be different, with hundreds of characters, and none of them are the same!

On the calligraphy style, seal script, official script, regular script, running script and cursive script, the five major script styles of Huaxia calligraphy are all complete.

There are even pre-Qin characters such as oracle bone inscriptions, Shang Ding inscriptions, and stone drum inscriptions.

On calligraphers, Cheng Miao, Erwang, Chu Ouyanliu of the four great masters of the Tang Dynasty, Su Huang Mi Cai of the four great masters of the Song Dynasty, even Zhao Mengfu of the Yuan Dynasty, and Dong Qichang of the Ming Dynasty.

Famous masters of all dynasties have their own strengths.

In terms of calligraphy style, there is a dazzling array of special-shaped characters such as Tadpole Script, Feibai Script, Star Dou Script, and Dragon Script, and they are not uncommon!

Calligraphy accounts for half of the 5000-year Chinese civilization, which has a history of more than 2000 years.

And a picture of one hundred years of life can almost condense the evolution of Chinese calligraphy for thousands of years and become a brief history of calligraphy!
That is to say, although the beginning of Baishoutu is the Southern Song Dynasty.

But the cultural value contained in it can be traced back to the pre-Qin period when calligraphy originated!
No wonder...

This [-]-year-old picture has not yet been written, and the evaluation value given by the system is already extremely high:

[Starting at 10 points, the upper limit is unknown! 】

Time passed, and nearly half an hour had passed in a blink of an eye.

The little girl's work is not yet finished.

One hundred longevity characters is not an easy task for any calligrapher.

What's more, it is even more rare to ensure that the fonts and shapes of each character are different, but also to arrange the layout calmly, without affecting the overall composition of Dashou characters.

After all, the little girl's physical strength is limited. After writing, she couldn't help sweating on her forehead and trembling pen, but she still bit her lip and tried her best to persist.

The crowd of old people watching looked at each other in confusion.

Although they are just amateurs, they have extensive knowledge, and they naturally recognize this legendary picture of a hundred years of life.

In fact, not only they, but also some masters or collectors with a high level are flocking to this kind of works that not only have beautiful meanings, but also have high artistic value.

Just imagine, one hundred longevity characters are mounted and hung.

No matter the living room in the interior or the middle hall of the store, that scene!

only……

It happened to be written by an unknown little girl...

Ren Ping was the only one in the audience who quickly calmed down after the initial shock.

While watching, he watched the system prompt:

[Civilization points: start at 10 points]

[In the latest evaluation...]

【11 o'clock……】

【12 o'clock……】

【13 o'clock……】

【14 o'clock……】

Every time the little girl finishes writing one or several Xiaoshou characters, the system will update the evaluation results in real time and make the latest judgment.

Of course, the object of assessment is not this picture of longevity, but intangible cultural heritage.

In other words, it is the depth of the little girl's skill in this calligraphy skill.

According to the system records, there is not only one kind of Baishou map.

No matter the glyph shape of Dashou characters, or the style, layout and composition of Xiaoshou characters, there are many variations.

According to legend, the most precious and original picture of the Hundred Years of Life in Yongning is a priceless treasure.

Although the original cave stone carvings still exist, due to hundreds of years of wind, sand, rain and dew erosion, most of them are broken, and rubbings have long been impossible.

It has been nearly a thousand years since the Southern Song Dynasty, and no one has been able to replicate it.

Even other types of Baishou pictures are extremely precious, and they are definitely not something ordinary calligraphy lovers can write!
"This picture of a hundred years of life may be a rare opportunity for Ren's wood industry..."

While watching silently, Ren Ping was thinking about something.

In the past few days, all he thought about in his mind was how to revive Ren's wood industry. After much deliberation, he needed an excellent opportunity.

now……

No wonder he was so quick to think of it.

"call……"

After writing for more than half an hour, this picture of a hundred longevity was finally completed.

The little girl put down the bamboo pen, shook her sore arm, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Then pick up both ends of the rice paper, remove the stone bench, and spread it out slowly.

A smile appeared on his face:

"How about it?"

At this time, the work that took a long time finally showed the whole picture in front of everyone.

I saw that the size of Dashou characters is huge, 1 meter wide and 1 meters high.

The overall style is close to running script, but when you look closely, it is slightly careless.

Flowing clouds and flowing water are extraordinary.

The size of Xiaoshou characters varies with the strokes of Dashou characters.

The style and shape of the calligraphy can be changed as one likes, and there are thousands of changes, which can't be seen for a while.

At the same time, the evaluation of the system is coming to an end:
【Inheritance of Intangible Cultural Heritage】

[In the latest evaluation...]
