Chapter fifty-seven new official

It should be said that even the little girl recognized this as a clerical script... But Wang Hua's clerical script is really weird.

Official script started in the Qin Dynasty. Because the county official Cheng Miao was in prison and had nothing to do, he wanted to write complicated seal scripts. So he referred to the simple folk writing fonts to make large and small seal scripts round and square, so he was called official script. However, at this time, there were still a large number of seal script forms. It was not until the Han Dynasty that it was truly carried forward. However, by the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it evolved from the mature stage to become more square, but this made the calligraphy more neat and not flexible enough.

In addition to the rise of regular script, it was gradually replaced by regular script. However, until the Tang Dynasty, people still called regular script and official script, but for the sake of distinction, they called official script the eight-part style. Even during this period of decline, many master scripts appeared, such as He Zhizhang, in addition to cursive script, was the official script. But the most famous one was Han Zemu of the Tang Dynasty and Zhao Mengfu of the Yuan Dynasty, and they also tried to break through the Han Dynasty and add regular script to write new ideas. However, they did not succeed, and they did not write the ancient and lively spirit of official script in the Han Dynasty.

Until the Qing Dynasty, because the trend of metal and stone research was raging, more and more unearthed inscriptions of gold and stone tablets finally set off a second wave of official script revolution in calligraphy. Major masters emerged one after another. The most famous ones were Jin Nong, Deng Shiru, Yi Bingshou, He Shaoji, Zhao Zhiqian and others.

Because this lacquerware has a deep theme, Wang Hua gave up cursive script and regular script on this inscription, and used the calligraphy of another person he was good at, namely Jin Nong's official script, and wrote this inscription.

Jin Nong's calligraphy, some people call it lacquer calligraphy, is very ancient and profound. This style of calligraphy is the fourth most copied calligraphy by Wang Hua in his previous life, and it is in line with the original intention of this lacquerware. Moreover, in order to deliberately highlight this ancient and simple, Wang Hua adopts the brushwork technique in the middle hall of Jin Nong's "Xiye Zhilu Ji Mo Shu".

This is normal for Wang Hua, but it is very surprising for the people of the Tang Dynasty. Cheng, a master of official script in the Tang Dynasty, mature official script in the Donghan Dynasty, changed from the original rectangle to the horizontal flat square, and the brushstrokes also changed from the inward convergence of seal script to the opening outward. However, Wang Hua changed it back to the rectangle again, and deliberately restrained the most unique characteristics of official script because it seemed to be ancient and clumsy.

Perhaps when an outsider sees it, he will say that he will even look down on the words he wrote. However, in the eyes of everyone like He Zhizhang, he will naturally see the wonderful use of this kind of calligraphy.

Because of his respect for this poet, Wang Hua did not refuse. He brought paper and ink, but he did not write the gold style on the inscription, but wrote another kind of calligraphy, which was imitated by the official script of the Qing Dynasty calligrapher Zheng Ruqi. Of course, Wang Hua did not have the ability to write his characteristics of flowing lines and elegant and solemn dots and strokes. After all, he rarely copied this kind of handwriting in his previous life. Because Wang Hua's skills were, this line of words was also written like flowing water and auspicious clouds flying in the sky.

Also in the eyes of He Zhizhang and Lao Du, he could see through this kind of official script at a glance, which is different from the official script of Tang people, and is mixed with some cursive script. Therefore, it is lively and lively.

Lao Du and He Zhizhang looked at each other and dared not say that I came here to remind you today.

He was so scared that he didn't say whether he wrote it well or not, he was a step beyond the den of his predecessors. With such wisdom, how many people could do it, and Wang Hua was only thirteen years old.

In fact, Wang Hua also knew that He Zhizhang was good at writing. Today he wrote several fonts, hoping that he could understand and write better characters in the future. It has nothing to do with showing off.

Wang Hua then wrote another line of characters, and this time he changed his style of calligraphy. At this time, he copied Wang Shimin's official script. Wu Weiye once advocated Wang's calligraphy as the best in ancient and modern times. This may not be true, but Wang's calligraphy is indeed written in extremely beautiful and elegant, especially in official script. Moreover, this kind of official script also has a great reference to He Zhizhang, because it refers to the true meaning of regular script, which is not much different from the official script of the Tang Dynasty today. But in the same way, he also jumped out of the flat square frame structure of official script, mainly rectangular. At first glance, it looks like regular script.

Similarly, this line of words also gave several people some useful thoughts.

Wang Hua started writing the third line again, and this time he changed it to Gao Fenghan among the Eight Ecological Eccentrics of Yangzhou. This style of calligraphy is like clerical and seal script, but it seems neat and simple, and has a touch of running and cursive brushwork. Therefore, it is not clumsy, but it looks round, vigorous and agile. It is exactly the opposite of the clumsy spirit that the gold body deliberately seeks.

The fourth line is coming again. This time, the font is mixed with the Han eight-point Han Dynasty and the running cursive script, and the style immediately becomes vigorous. This is Zheng Banqiao's six-and-a-half-point official script style.

After writing these four lines, Wang Hua stopped writing and said to several people: "Please give me advice."

A few people looked at Comrade Lao Du, didn’t you say that you were better than Qu Song? Come and give me some advice.

Lao Du wiped a strand of beautiful beard on his lower forehead and coughed twice. Maybe the layman might not be as charming as he saw these words, but in the eyes of them, the weight of these words was too heavy. Especially the shapes of these characters were unheard of, and he really dared not comment on them.

But Lao Du was very smart. He turned his head and moved the topic to the side. He pointed to the inscription and asked carefully: "Wang Xiaolang, why did I see that several of your inscriptions are in ancient form. With such talent, why don't you use parallel prose?"

Wang Hua made a gesture of asking them to sit down. After all, He Du and the others asked him to respect him. Li Longji might not have a good impression, but the future lord did not use his power to bully him in Qizhenxuan. It is very reasonable to buy his lacquer box.

Then he said, "Please use tea."

Tea ceremony was very popular in the Tang Dynasty and he also had a deep attainment in tea ceremony king paintings, but he was just a matter of elegant things to look at tea ceremony. After all, it was too troublesome.

But because the guests who came today were more noble, Wang Hua had to perform it again.

First take out a handful of new tea from the tea warehouse, that is, the tube containing the tea leaves is used to hold the tea and put it in a saucer. This procedure is called appreciating fragrant tea, and according to etiquette, you must also introduce the characteristics of tea to the guests. But Wang Hua did this, even if he deserves these people, let alone let him introduce it. Wang Hua directly omitted it. Next, Meng Chenlin, that is, water the pot with boiling water. After that, he went into the sea and put the tea into the pot. Then he hanged the pot and poured boiling water into the pot until the pot saliva was full.

It's not over yet, so you have to scrape off the foam at the mouth of the pot, which is called the spring breeze blowing on the face. Next, pour the water in the pot into the sea of ​​tea, which is a large cup. This is to wash away the dust of the tea leaves, which is called washing the fairy face. Then Wang Hua quickly put the tea cup in the tea boat, that is, the large plate of the tea cup. Then use the first brewed tea water to burn the cup, which is called Ruochen coming out of the valley. Then fill the pot with boiling water again, which is called jade liquid back to the pot. Then, he then scrapes the teapot along the tea boat on the table and scrapes the water at the bottom of the pot. This is called traveling around.

Li Longji was better. Poor Comrade Liu looked at Wang Hua's dazzling movements with eager eyes and thought to himself, it would be too difficult to take a sip of tea.

In fact, this is the same as playing the guqin and burning incense to purify the body. It is a process of purifying the mind. Only through these beautiful and peaceful actions can the drinker calm down, so that he can enjoy the fragrance of tea.

But you have to drink it. Start pouring tea for each cup, just like Guan Gong’s patrol, so it is called Guan Gong’s patrol. Because this pot is small and small, remember, if you are thirsty in your mouth, don’t drink this kind of kung fu tea ceremony, which will make you more and more thirsty and eventually you will be so angry that you will overturn the tea table.

This is not over yet. Because the pot is too small, it is impossible for every teacup to be full. First, pour tea water into the teacup, estimate how much tea water is left in the teapot, and divide the tea water into the teacup bit by bit. This is called Han Xin's ordering troops. Until this time, Wang Hua took out the tea mat and placed it on the table, treating guests with respect to the elders and the young, which is called worshipping fragrant tea. Only then can the guests take out the teacup from the sea of ​​tea and taste the tea soup, which is called tasting the fragrance and exchanging the rhyme.

There is also a high sieve behind it, Ruochen bathes again, drinks the wonderful fragrance again, and recognizes the fragrance again, and pours the three flowing water clouds for several procedures. That is the second tea and the third tea soup.

But that's what happened later, and by this time everyone can have a heart-to-heart talk.

But Wang Hua's series of movements shocked several people again. Perhaps it was simple to say that the movements were simple, but if it weren't for a professional, the movements were definitely not as elegant as Wang Hua. From the beginning of appreciating fragrant tea, Wang Hua's movements were like an elf dancing. Although Wang Hua was wearing coarse cloth clothes, these people seemed to see a trace of noble temperament in the young man.

Wang Huazhi answered Lao Du's questions. In fact, if Wang Shu had asked calmly that day, Wang Hua would not fight back, and even explained to him.
