Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Master Xu, it's your turn, please give me a question." Chen Yi said with a smile on his face. He had a clear grasp of Xu Guo's psychological activities.

    Looking at Chen Yi's somewhat proud face, Xu Guo's expression became a little gloomy. Although the calligraphy of the two cabinet ministers he had made friends with was only two calligraphers with little reputation, the calligraphy of these two people  Calligraphy has also been handed down to some extent.

    He didn’t pay much attention to these two calligraphers, so he didn’t recognize them. Thinking of this, he sneered inwardly, feeling that Chen Yi would definitely not be able to guess the question he asked next.

    "Haha, Master Chen is really powerful, let's see if he can pass my final test." Xu Guo laughed loudly and thought to himself, even though you are so proud now and answered five or six questions, but in the end  You can't even think of answering this question.

    Once Chen Yi fails to answer, each of them will get a piece of calligraphy worth tens of thousands of dollars. As for Chen Yi's question, in his heart, it is not worth mentioning at all.

    No matter how good Chen Yi is, his calligraphy is learned from others. One of them may not be able to answer the question, but there are six of them now, and each of them is a leader among literati. They can definitely see the origin of Chen Yi's calligraphy.

    "Sir Xu, I will do my best, please." Chen Yi smiled lightly and pointed at the desk.

    Xu Guo smiled, picked up the pen and wrote a few words on the paper. After writing, he pointed at the thick smile on the calligraphy surface and said, "Jushi Chen, I have finished writing, you can start to identify. Complete this  Only by asking questions can you win.”

    At this time, Emperor Wanli.  There were also several cabinet ministers nearby who took a step forward and came to the calligraphy.

    Emperor Wanli’s heart hoped that Chen Yi could win, but Wang Xijue’s heart hoped that Chen Yi could win. The fair and upright Wang Jiaping also leaned towards Chen Yi’s side at this time.  Because there is no fairness in this competition.

    Chen Yi’s calligraphy level.  Although he was close to the master level, what he faced was the six cabinet ministers who were inferior to each other.  There are more than ten thousand people, not to mention that each of them is at least twice Chen Yi's age.

    Judging from Chen Yi's two calligraphy works, one was learned from Wang Xizhi, and the other Zhang Cao contained the strokes of some famous calligraphers. He felt that Chen Yi could answer those two famous calligraphers.  .  Maybe it was just a coincidence.

    He also knew Xu Guo very well and wanted to take the overall situation into consideration.  He got along well with everyone in the cabinet, but this did not mean that he had a good impression of Xu Guo.

    As for Shen Shixing, he was also wavering in his heart. He hoped that Chen Yi would win to win the favor of the emperor, but he also hoped that Chen Yi would fail so that they could get a precious piece of calligraphy.

    The two people who have a good relationship with Xu Guo.  Needless to say, I hope Chen Yi fails.  Even if it wasn't for the sake of getting Chen Yi's calligraphy, it was for the sake of their reputation as bachelors. It would be so embarrassing if six people lost to one young man.

    After Emperor Wanli and several cabinet ministers saw the calligraphy written by Xu Guo, everyone frowned tightly. For a while, they really couldn't tell the origin of this calligraphy.

    In each dynasty, literati were basically in power, so calligraphers emerged in endlessly. Although many calligraphers learned their calligraphy from some famous calligraphers, after learning it, these calligraphers added their own insights to make the calligraphy strokes more beautiful.  become different.

    Of course, this is just a small innovation, rather than actually creating a calligraphy style. From ancient times to the present, there are only a few calligraphers who can create a new calligraphy style.

    To guess the origin of calligraphy is to guess who the calligrapher who wrote such handwriting is, rather than to guess its true origin. If this is the case, then many calligraphers got their calligraphy from Wang Xizhi, more or less.  Some brushstrokes, then as soon as you see regular script, you can just guess that it is Wang Xizhi.

    The calligraphy written by Xu Guo seems to have some elegant meaning, but in the eyes of everyone, it is very awkward. There are countless people in history who have beautiful calligraphy. They are constantly looking for their own memories, but in the  In my memory, I can't find a calligrapher whose calligraphy is similar to the one in front of me.

    Seeing this piece of calligraphy, Chen Yi also frowned and felt a sense of awkwardness. Generally speaking, calligraphy gives people a kind of beautiful enjoyment. Even Zhang Xu's cursive script is like this. There are only those in the modern world.  The so-called ghostly cursive script can make people very uncomfortable.

    Only on that touch of beauty, he felt a sense of familiarity. In his mind, he couldn't help but search for memories. After getting the identification system, his brain really turned into a computer, and he had a complete photographic memory.  The ability to forget.“As long as he has seen calligraphy, he can remember it. If it is calligraphy that he has studied, it will be even more unforgettable.

    Soon, Chen Yi found the source of this beautiful calligraphy in his memory, and then found the identification information of this calligraphy from the identification system. When he saw the identification information, a smile appeared on his face.

    No wonder Xu Guo was so confident that he couldn't guess the origin of this calligraphy, because the calligrapher who wrote such calligraphy was not only not famous, but many people probably didn't know who he was, and the calligraphy that had been handed down,  There are also very few, and in the real world, there are only about a dozen.

    Not only is this calligrapher unknown, but in order to make it more difficult for him, Xu Guo added some strokes of his own imagination when writing, which made the originally elegant calligraphy very awkward.  It gives people a nondescript feeling.

    A kind of innovation and improvement of calligraphy is not something you can just follow your own ideas. Just like a small island country in the real world, you can innovate completely according to your own ideas, and in the end it just becomes completely different from calligraphy.  Different paths.

    Emperor Wanli, Wang Xijue and others also gradually realized that the font of this calligraphy seemed to have been modified. When identifying calligraphy before, there were no rules, so Xu Guo modified it and there would be no trouble.

    They felt that even without modification, they would not be able to identify the original author of this calligraphy font for a while, let alone that it had been modified by Xu Guo.

    Wang Xijue sighed. In his heart, he hoped that Chen Yi would win. At worst, there would be a tie. But now it seems that Chen Yi cannot complete this last question.

    Emperor Wanli's face became a little darker. Xu Guo had made it clear that he was against him. However, Xu Guo did this without any rules. He could not find any reason to refute it, let alone because of this small matter.  He punished Xu Guo for small things.

    He felt that Chen Yi’s failure to answer the question this time would spread throughout the capital in a short period of time, and Chen Yi’s new fame would be affected to some extent.

    As for the topic Chen Yi proposed, he no longer had any hope. In front of the six bachelors of the cabinet, there was a 100% chance that Chen Yi's calligraphy would be recognized.

    The delicate touch of this calligraphy looked familiar to him, but he didn’t know where he had seen it before.

    He has seen countless calligraphy works, but what he can remember are only some works by famous calligraphers. Those unknown calligraphers are not qualified to be remembered by him, the ninety-five supreme emperor.

    "Jushi Chen, I wonder if you can identify it. Don't be anxious. There is still a lot of time." Seeing Chen Yi staring closely at the calligraphy and frowning, Xu Guo smiled complacently, with a bit of ridicule in his tone.  said.

    Don’t think that you are invincible just because you have written high-level calligraphy. Let me give you a taste of what failure feels like.

    "Thank you Master Xu for this calligraphy. It reminds me of some memories of when I was learning calligraphy. It's hard for Master Xu to be able to write such a level of calligraphy." Chen Yi said with a smile as he cupped his hands towards Xu Guo.

    Hearing the sarcasm in Chen Yi's words, Xu Guo snorted lightly, "Oh, so Master Chen has identified the origin of this calligraphy, then you might as well tell it and listen."

    At this moment, Emperor Wanli and Wang Xijue had expressions of expectation on their faces. Could it be that Chen Yi had really identified it? They also wanted to know the origin of this calligraphy.

    "This calligrapher is not a man, but a woman. Only a woman can contain such a touch of elegance that cannot be ignored. I never thought that Mr. Xu would have her calligraphy." Chen Yi said with a smile on his face.  He smiled and pointed at the calligraphy.

    Even though such calligraphy fonts have been modified by Xu Guo and become nondescript, the touch of elegance has not been concealed. Of course, with Xu Guo's level, the elegance of his brushwork is also very light.  .

    ??The people next to them were suddenly shocked. No wonder they couldn't identify a woman's calligraphy. The status of women, no matter in which dynasty they were in, was always inferior to that of men.

    Especially the saying that it is virtue for a woman to have no talent makes it impossible for many women to receive a good education. Only women born into scholarly families can write beautiful handwriting.

    Therefore, almost all famous calligraphers of all eras are men, and there are only a few women. The most famous among them is undoubtedly Cai Wenji.

    Emperor Wanli’s eyes lit up, and he suddenly wondered where he had seen such beautiful calligraphy. He saw it in the calligraphy and painting collection room in the palace. Even in the Ming Dynasty, which took over the palaces of the Song and Yuan dynasties,There are treasures in the palace, but there are only two pieces of this calligrapher's calligraphy in the palace, which he saw a long time ago.

    The reason why he thought of it so quickly was just because these two pieces of calligraphy were written by women. Originally, there were very few works by female calligraphers collected in the palace, and this woman's calligraphy was very distinctive. Therefore, after Chen Yi said it  Then, his memories came flooding back.  (To be continued)
