Afterwards, President Matsumoto came to Chen Yi and Mr. Yuan’s table and sat down. With a smile on his face, he greeted everyone as if what just happened didn’t exist.
At this banquet, basically every table was a mixture of Chinese calligraphers and calligraphers from small island countries. Although the two parties could not communicate in depth due to the language barrier, it was still possible to get to know each other first and build a good relationship. of.
At Chen Yi and Mr. Yuan's table, most of the people sitting at the table were leaders from the Lingnan Calligraphy Association and the Dongdu Calligraphy Alliance. Although there were many sumptuous delicacies on the table, everyone only moved their chopsticks from time to time. They spent most of the time communicating with each other.
During the exchange, President Matsumoto couldn’t help but introduce the current situation of calligraphy in small island countries. Calligraphy classes are now offered in primary and secondary schools in small island countries. Calligraphy can be learned starting from the third grade of elementary school. By the time you graduate from junior high school, you can study calligraphy for six years. .
“And among the five or six people from the small island country, one person practices calligraphy. There are at least 20 to 30 million calligraphy enthusiasts in the entire small island country.
In addition to basic calligraphy education in schools, calligraphy classrooms all over the small island country also provide learning opportunities for calligraphy enthusiasts.
During festivals such as New Year’s Day, men, women and children from small island countries go to temples and shrines to write calligraphy and so on.
Various words to show off the importance of calligraphy in small island countries are constantly coming from President Matsumoto’s mouth.
Although this is President Matsumoto. There is no positive saying that China does not value calligraphy. But within the underlying meaning. This is to exalt the calligraphy of small island countries and belittle the decline of Chinese calligraphy.
Hearing the words of President Matsumoto, Chen Yi shook his head and smiled. It is undeniable that the small island country carries out calligraphy classes in primary and secondary schools, which is something China has not done now, but this cannot be said about the people in China who learn calligraphy. Just less than small island countries.
Seeing that Mr. Fan and Mr. Yuan both wanted to refute, Chen Yi coughed lightly. Upon hearing this cough, President Matsumoto immediately came back from showing off, looked at Chen Yi, and said with a smile: " Mr. Chen, I wonder what you think of what I just said.”
Chen Yi smiled slightly. The national conditions of China and small island countries are different, so there is no use in rebuttal. Throughout the development period of Chinese calligraphy, it was basically an era when the country was prosperous. Such as the Jin Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty, etc. In modern times, although Chinese calligraphy is not as prosperous as in ancient times, its foundation is still firmly there.
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China and in the following decades, China was a poor and backward country. During this period, the country's development focus was placed on industry, and the development of culture was naturally despised. , coupled with the turmoil of those ten years, also had a great impact on the development of culture. At that time, there was not enough to eat, so how to write books and paintings.
However, as China becomes more and more prosperous and powerful, the development of culture will inevitably surpass industry.
Not to mention the future, even now, there are countless people practicing calligraphy. Chen Yi remembers clearly that when he got up early to exercise in various city parks, he could almost see some old people holding big brushes and drinking water. Calligraphy is written on the ground. As for primary and secondary school students, there are also many people who take calligraphy and painting as extracurricular hobbies.
"President Matsumoto, regarding what you just said, can I use a story from ancient China to express my opinion." Chen Yi said with a smile.
Chairman Matsumoto laughed, "Haha, Mr. Chen, if you please, I'm all ears."
Hearing Chen Yi’s words, Mr. Fan and Mr. Yuan on the side showed a hint of curiosity, wondering what kind of ancient story Chen Yi would use to express his opinions.
When they heard Chen Yi coughing before, they also understood. Such a direct rebuttal was probably what Matsumoto and others wanted, because in any case, after all, Huaxia did not launch calligraphy courses in primary and secondary schools.
"This is also a story I discovered after reading ancient classics. The specifics are as follows. Once upon a time, there was a rich man who became neighbors with a poor family. The poor family had a lot of vanity, but the rich man was very kind-hearted. After seeing the poverty of their neighbors, they offered to help them. However, the poor family was afraid that others would look down on them, so they shook their heads and rejected the rich man's kindness. The rich man did not believe it and offered to come to their home as a guest. In order to make the rich believe it, they later sold their fields and used all their savings to decorate their houses. When the rich came home, they kept asking for help.The rich man showed off some of the things he had just bought. "
Chen Yi smiled and slowly told a story he had seen, "After being a guest, the rich man returned home, and the poor family sold their fields and bought some useless things. Things eventually became poorer and poorer.”
After telling the story, he looked at President Matsumoto and said calmly: "This story is my opinion on what President Matsumoto just told."
After hearing this story, the expressions of President Matsumoto and some leaders of the Todo Calligraphy Alliance on the small island country changed slightly. How could they not understand the meaning of Chen Yi's story.
The rich man is China, and the poor man is the small island country. What they represent is exactly Chinese calligraphy and small island country calligraphy.
The deeper meaning of this story is that Chinese calligraphy is as profound and brilliant as a rich man, while the calligraphy culture of the small island country is very ordinary and lacks any brilliance. But when the rich come to the small island country, the small island country’s calligraphy culture is very ordinary. The people of the island country showed off their wealth to this rich man in every possible way.
Chen Yi was secretly mocking that they, a country where calligraphy was passed down to China, dared to show off their calligraphy culture to China, the place where calligraphy originated.
In the previous words of President Matsumoto, he only talked about the current situation of calligraphy in the small island country, but did not directly express his intention to disparage Chinese calligraphy. However, Chen Yi's words were more connotative than theirs and did not mention calligraphy at all. But it was sharper than their previous words.
Hearing the story told by Chen Yi, Mr. Fan and Mr. Yuan couldn’t help but slap their thighs with their hands to express their excitement. It was simply amazing and wonderful to use this story to respond to President Matsumoto’s show off.
The calligraphy of small island countries comes from China. Although some experts from China and small island countries are saying that the calligraphy of small island countries has surpassed the calligraphy of China, in a true sense, the calligraphy of small island countries can never be surpassed. Chinese calligraphy, because of the so-called calligraphy of the small island country, has gradually deviated from the path of calligraphy with the integration of Western European and American culture. Now that it has deviated, how can it be transcended.
However, there are some experts who believe that the small island country’s calligraphy, which is a fusion of Western culture, is all calligraphy, and even regards it as a standard, which is simply ridiculous.
Furthermore, the current situation of Chinese calligraphy is not as declining as some experts say. There are many calligraphy masters among the people or calligraphy associations.
??Chinese calligraphy pays attention to tradition. Tradition is the foundation of calligraphy. If the foundation is not even laid, how can we talk about innovation? If we just change the writing method, does it count as innovation?
Of course, as a person who knows the current situation of calligraphy very well, Chen Yi also knows that the current situation of Chinese calligraphy is not as good as that of small island countries in some aspects. However, this does not mean the decline of Chinese calligraphy. Many calligraphers insist on inheriting Chinese calligraphy. In the traditional culture, those so-called experts just talked about it, belittled Chinese calligraphy, promoted foreign culture, and then took the money. In one sentence, this is called indifference. .
After experiencing Chen Yi's story this time, President Matsumoto finally understood that Chen Yi is very famous, but he doesn't have the naivety of young people at all. His thoughtfulness is beyond the comparison of others. He is really famous. There is no false scholar.
Today, it can be said that he fell into trouble twice at the hands of Chen Yi. Each time, he was a mute who ate yellow lotus and could not express his pain.
Mr. Fan may have only known Chen Yi for a short time, but Mr. Yuan had a thick smile on his face. Comparing his reaction ability with Chen Yi's was simply humiliating himself.
Chen Yi doesn’t play by the rules every time, and every counterattack is extremely brilliant and full of profound meaning, which is even more amazing. At Chen Yi’s level, there will never be a single curse word in curses.
After a banquet, Mr. Fan and Mr. Yuan and other Chinese calligraphers felt refreshed and walked much more energetically. On the other hand, Matsumoto and other calligraphers from the small island nation's Eastern Capital Calligraphy Alliance looked helpless. , Regarding President Matsumoto, they didn't say anything on the surface, but they were full of anger in their hearts. They couldn't show off, but they ended up humiliating themselves.
It is conceivable that after today, the story told by Chen Yi will definitely spread throughout the Chinese calligraphy community very quickly.
In the future, whenever they mention the current situation of calligraphy in the small island country, I am afraid that Chinese calligraphers will respond to them with this story of Chen Yi.
President Matsumoto smiled on the surface and sent the Chinese calligraphers out of the banquet hall, but he was cursing in his heart. He really underestimated Chen Yi before. Such a young person can be so thoughtful. He can Becoming the president of the Calligraphy Alliance depends partly on strength and the other half on intrigue. In this regard,But he lost to Chen Yi the other day.
After returning to the room, Mr. Fan and Mr. Yuan gathered in Chen Yi's room, laughing and talking about what happened at the banquet today.
"Mr. Fan, Mr. Yuan, although Matsumoto's words are showing off, it is undeniable that some of what he said is true. Our Chinese primary and secondary schools do not pay attention to calligraphy, even in extracurricular time. "There are many primary and secondary school students learning calligraphy." Chen Yi shook his head and said to several old people. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
