Chapter 407 Tokyo Calligraphy Museum

The railway express from Chiba Prefecture to Tokyo was only an hour. In such a short time, the Chinese Calligraphy Corps was confused in Narita City for nearly a week because of a "copycat" welcome ceremony.

Of course, even Zhong Yue did not expect that this was actually the official organization of a copycat competition. If he was confused like this, if the Mo Ren would confront the Chinese Calligraphy Group in the end and win, then this exchange meeting for young calligraphers in the Three Kingdoms would become a joke in the cultural circle.

When you arrive in Tokyo, the transportation and architecture here are the appearance of a modern metropolis, but the bustling metropolis are the same. Apart from some landmark buildings, it always feels that the old streets in the Edo era do not have the regional characteristics. Just like those buildings in Huizhou, even if the times change, the tall buildings still cannot replace the classical beauty of white walls, black tiles and flying eaves of the gates.

"Now I'm really a mute." Zhong Yue didn't hope that all Japanese could communicate with him in such fluent Chinese as Miichi and Eguchi Shigei, but Tan Yongzhi's fluent Japanese was still very good.

"I am proficient in the languages ​​of Germany, Japan, Korea and England, and there is no problem with daily communication. Of course, the introduction to calligraphy can only be explained in professional English."

Zhong Yue said in surprise: "Four foreign languages? Why don't you be a translator?"

Tam Yongzhi finally showed a surprised expression when she saw Zhong Yue for the first time, shook her hair and said with a smile: "Translation? My father is the chief translator of Beijing North. Do you think I can still reach this height?"

"Then what language do you usually communicate with when eating?"

"It depends on your mood. Sometimes he speaks German and sometimes Japanese. This is how he trained me since he was a child."

"..." Zhong Yue wiped his sweat. No wonder even though he passed the English CET-4, he was still a slack in speaking, and his feelings were lost at the starting line.

For communication in calligraphy, good writing is one aspect, and good speaking is the key, especially internationally. Why many outstanding domestic writers cannot win international awards? It is not that Chinese writers are inferior to foreigners. Some of the factors are translation problems. Chinese characters are profound and profound. Sometimes a short four-character idiom is used in a novel, concise and unexpected surprises, but when translated into English, it will become a long burden, which breaks the author's original creative beauty and makes the pearl dust.

Therefore, many translators of literary works are writers nowadays, so they can translate excellent works with mutual communication.

The same is true for calligraphy. Although everyone has eyes that feel beauty, it is not ruled out that due to cultural surprises, there are differences in the explanation of beauty. Therefore, we have our own set of theories and opinions, so that we can promote calligraphy in a high degree. Just like many trendy brands today, many design products themselves may not be able to grasp its beauty, but because it has become a trend, it is so sought after. If calligraphy can also be promoted to such an extent internationally, then the art of China will shine brightly on the top of the world's art!

Tokyo is a very large administrative area. If subdivided, there will be administrative units such as cities, districts, towns, etc., similar to our cities, towns, etc.

"No. 4, 10th Chome, Nenkiki 2, Taitung District, seems that there will be no mistake this time." Tan Yongzhi looked up at the ten-meter-high building sign. The five words "Tokyo Book Hall" with a bit of official script are like, and it looks like a Chinese Cultural Center.

"If you want to hold an international exchange meeting, you don't have a banner. There is no way to entertain guests at all. This is the way to put it in China. Not to mention banners, the red carpet will be placed under the steps for you."

Tan Yongzhi covered her mouth and chuckled, "We are all non-public league organizations, do you think they are at the level of state guest."

“Art is above everything else!”

“…”

Zhong Yue and Tan Yongzhi both placed their luggage in the hotel in advance.

"I'm sorry, two. Today's Book Hall is not open to the public because of international exchange events." The receptionist in a suit outside saw the young man coming up and stopped Zhong Yue and the others.

Tan Yongzhi said: "We are the Chinese Calligraphy Corps."

"Ah? Are you a Chinese calligraphy delegation? Wait for a moment." He murmured on the walkie-talkie. After a while, seven or eight people hurried out of the library. When they saw Zhong Yue and Tan Yongzhi, they were also stunned.

"you……"

Zhong Yue shook hands with the old Japanese man who was not very fluent in Chinese and had obviously a Japanese accent and said, "We are the representatives of the Chinese at this Three Kingdoms Youth Calligraphy Exchange Conference."

"No, you two?"

Zhong Yue looked at the shocked gaze of these Japanese calligraphers and understood that for a long time, our Chinese nation has always liked to be a big show. If we participate in such large-scale international academic activities, the more people, the better. If we give twenty places, we will never go to nineteen. As a result, two of them came this time, which will definitely surprise them.

"This is an invitation letter and our participation information."

"Okay, please come from here. My name is Aoyama Mitsuhiko."

Tam Yongzhi whispered: "It's him!"

"What's wrong?"

"Miyohiko Aoyama is a very outstanding calligrapher in Japan. There is a high-level true face called Twenty Renshang in Japan."

"Twenty people killed?" Zhong Yue suddenly thought of the scene of old drivers in the island country driving dirty. A weak girl fights a hundred evil men. It is really sad for those who hear it, and tears for those who see it. It is melodious...

Seeing that Zhong Yue was looking like that, Tan Yongzhi suddenly remembered that he had seen this "death look" on the street before, biting his lips and murmured: "Bastard, what are you thinking! The Twenty-People Show is the highest-level Japanese calligrapher lineup, and it is almost fifty. From the first to the present, he has been a calligrapher within these twenty people, and he can be called a national treasure master of Japanese calligraphy."

"By the way, Mr. Zhong, look at your information, are you the apprentice of Master Qiu Wenzhen?" Aoyama Mitsuhiko asked in surprise.

"Why, Mr. Aoyama knows it?"

"I also participated in the Xiling Seal Society in my early years and visited China many times to exchange. I admire Mr. Qiu's swordsmanship. I didn't expect that this time I came, I was the master of Qiu."

"You have been awarded the prize. Chinese and Japanese calligraphy has a long history. It has been inherited from generation to generation and mutually beneficial and reference, which is what we calligraphers should do."

Mitsuhiko Aoyama smiled and said, "In the past decade, I have rarely paid attention to Chinese calligraphy. The main reason is that your calligraphers have long since disappeared from the innovative and expanded calligraphy spirit that they were back then. Our Japanese calligraphy has become more and more energetic and charming. In the long run, the center of the calligraphy career in the future will be passed on and carried forward by our Yamato nation."

"Mr. Aoyama's idea of ​​forgetting his ancestors is very dangerous."

The Japanese who followed Mitsuhiko Aoyama thought that Zhong Yue and Mitsuhiko Aoyama had a great time talking, so they did not invite a translator. Even Mitsuhiko Aoyama himself could not understand the meaning of the idiom "Forget the Ancestor" and smiled at each other.

"Forget the ancestors in the dictionary, should I translate this word?"
