Chapter 42: The Book and the Painting (2)
Jiang Huai looked at Duan Changfeng who was glorious on the stage and secretly praised him for his good intentions. On the other hand, Liu Zhengfu, who looked embarrassed, once again highlighted the incompetence of local public security in the Song Dynasty. The powerful people who gathered like Duan Changfeng could easily coerce the deputy minister of the accompaniment. No wonder the uprising of Song Jiang and Fang La fought the imperial army into pieces.
The master of calligraphy and painting invited by Boshengtang also quickly came to the stage. This was a young man about twenty years old, named Yang Wujiu. Jiang Huai Ruyizhu found out that Yang Wujiu's calligraphy was from Ouyang Xun, with sharp brushstrokes and paintings from elder Huaguang, but they also broke out of the crux of plums. He paid attention to the exquisiteness of image and brushstrokes when painting. He neither deliberately and meticulously passed on the writing, nor indulged in the harsh and stingy, so that the objects and figures and spirits were expressed, and he got rid of the neat and fine outline style that dominated the painting world during the Song Dynasty, forming a gentle and concise freehand brushstroke, which exuded the elegant charm of plum blossoms.
At this time, Yang Wujiu was still young, so his technique had not yet been achieved, but he had already become famous by Boshengtang. Duan Changfeng said that Zhang Zeduan was his teacher, so he should have a good foundation. Compared with calligraphy and painting, this comparison of calligraphy and painting should be a wonderful event.
After seeing Duan Changfeng and Yang Wujiu, they quickly entered the creative state. Jiang Huai was sitting on the top floor of Boshengtang and sat side by side with Lu Junxing. Although Lu Junxing was in a weak position, he still said to Jiang Huai calmly: "Mr. Jiang, you have just gotten famous and have a bright future. Why did you collude with such a powerful man as Duan Changfeng?"
Jiang Huai also said lightly: "In my eyes, you are no different from Duan Changfeng."
Although Jiang Huai's tone was weak, his words were hard, which made Lu Junxing unable to answer for a moment. However, a businessman sitting with them said, "Mr. Jiang is full of energy and spirit, but speaking more harmoniously is also the doctrine of the mean."
Jiang Huai smiled: "My studies are a school of Legalism. They have a straight mind and a thunderous way of doing things. The doctrine of the mean is not what I want. Although Duan Changfeng is a powerful man, he acts without losing his chivalrous behavior and conforms to my own laws. Just like Boss Lu is the first to pursue profit, he also has his own rules. Therefore, he has these six gentlemen, which is also in line with the law. From this point of view, there is no difference between him and Duan Changfeng. Therefore, it is not that he is not speaking harmoniously, but he is just a lonely person. You have misunderstood."
Jiang Huai said a few more words, but he had a different idea. Bosheng Hall had a deep roots and had a broad range of friendships. If he could not be defeated in one fell swoop, he would have to make other mistakes. After all, Duan Changfeng shocked Liu Zhengfu with his force today and also shocked Jiang Huai. Before he had considerable power, even the best strategy might not be able to achieve the desired result.
While the few people were talking, Yang and the other two entered a state of selfless creation on the stage. The long wind was not a false statement. It was a charm to see him painted and outlined.
The two of them completed their works almost at the same time. Yang Wujiu painted the plum blossoms that he was good at. He only saw the flowers with ink coils, heavy ink dots, and no color stains, changing the method of using color or ink to make flowers. He also used thick ink to draw the tips of the painting, and the old gans were stroked in one stroke, leaving flying white between the dry or moist black, which was as good as the wish, and the virtual and the real were intertwined, and natural but not rigid. The two vigorous and powerful characters "Chu Plum" at the top of the painting seemed to have the plum style between the strokes and strokes, which was indeed the best.
Duan Changfeng learned from Zhang Zeduan, and used the very rare realistic painting method at that time and extremely exquisite skills. The content of the picture was the instant competition scene. People were crowded with different expressions, expectations, anxiety, joy, or calmness, as if they were in front of them. The picture was more delicate, and the style of clothes was colored. The vendors shouting fruits and melon seeds around him, and even the scene of a pair of men and women teasing each other in the distance was completely in the painting. The whole picture was realistic and vivid, vast and charming, which was amazing. The title of this painting was "Calligraphy and Painting Grand View". The font was grassy, and it seemed to be messy and stroked, which contained Su Dongpo's style, which complemented the picture.
The two works show off their love, which not only made the three examiners hesitate and difficult to make, but even the people in the audience had their own support and the debate was very sensational.
The two on the stage watched each other's works and instantly felt a sense of mutual appreciation. First, Yang Wujiu bowed his hand and said to Duan Changfeng: "Duan Daxia, I thought you were just famous for martial arts. Now I want to change this view. Your brushwork is delicate and exquisite, and your composition is very grand. It is my role model for learning."
"Brother Yang, don't be arrogant. Your plum blossom painting method is a precedent. I, Duan, admire you very much. I promised that I would win this game. Now it seems that I am arrogant." Duan Changfeng also praised Yang Wujiu.
The two of them looked at each other and said in unison: "Get?"
Afterwards, the two laughed loudly, and the laughter penetrated the stage and had the pleasure of comforting their lives, which quickly infected many people to laugh together.
Seeing that the general situation was settled, Liu Zhengfu and the other two had no choice but to announce a draw in calligraphy and painting, which was a result that everyone liked.
Duan Yang and his two subsequent practices became a temporary talk. They exchanged their works and carefully pondered them, which was of great help to their subsequent painting skills.
When the matter was over, Duan Changfeng finally started his plan. He shouted loudly on the stage: "How do you see my painting? If you still see it, today I will present my master's masterpiece to you."
Originally, the noisy scene added to the boiling moment, in this atmosphere close to carnival, Duan Changfeng carefully and respectfully took out the painting. He asked Yang Wujiu to help unfold it, so this famous painting of the ages was presented to the world.
Duan Changfeng stood up even more erect as a gun, as if he was paying attention to his belief. Yang Wujiu held it on the other side of the painting, and his expression became even more shocked. After a shock, the three examiners on the stage were almost lying on the screen as if they had found a treasure. This made everyone in the audience feel a lot of dissatisfaction, and many people could not help but rush to the stage.
Duan Changfeng was so excited when he saw the scene at this moment that he shouted loudly: "Please be at ease. Please take turns to watch with ten people. Each team is half a quarter of an hour. Brother Yang and I will show the painting and wait."
Jiang Huai watched everyone line up quickly, and the VIPs in the three buildings hurriedly went downstairs to line up to watch. He couldn't help but slap the table and sighed: "Why worry about the dust covering the wind and dust? The pearl of eternal glory for the eternal period."
Lu Junxing was still sitting in his original position and sighed: "Sir, it's really a strange man. Even a Duan Changfeng popped out can suppress Yang Wujiu, who is the master's appearance. I don't think this gentleman's six games, is optimistic."
"In the third game of martial arts, I see that Boss Lu is already clear-headed. I look forward to the person Boss Lu can invite and also let me see the true romanticism of the Song Dynasty."
