"In the ninth year of Yonghe, at the beginning of late spring, we will meet at the Orchid Pavilion in the shade of the mountains in Kuaiji.”
"All the wise men have gathered, young and old. There were high mountains and steep ridges, lush forests and tall bamboos. There is also a clear stream of turbulent water, reflecting on the left and right sides of the river, led to the winding water of the flowing wine cup, arranged in the second place.”
"Although there is no such thing as a musical instrument, it is enough to express your feelings."
Li Er picked up the Preface to the Orchid Pavilion and looked straight into his eyes. He muttered to himself like this, looking very intoxicated.
At this moment, Li Chuan smiled. The reason why he had copied the Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection by the Sage of Calligraphy, Wang Xizhi, in the morning was to persuade the young princess to focus on calligraphy. Only with regular script as the foundation could she extend it to many styles.
Unexpectedly, Li Er accidentally found it from a stack of tribute papers.
Li Er was still reading while exclaiming,"
"Wang Xizhi of the Jin Dynasty wrote the world's best running script, which is why he is known as the Calligraphy Saint. His elegant, elegant, and unrestrained style is second to none.”Li Er then said in one breath,
"This sparse and elegant layout, the elegant and elegant wind god, the ever-changing brush strokes, and the free and unrestrained momentum are really fascinating.”
" Just by looking at the richness of the strokes, there are various wonderful changes such as hiding the edge, weighing the decoration, hanging the brush back to the edge, pulling the thread, reflecting the belt, turning from square to round, turning from round to square, and so on. Some horizontal and wavy strokes have the meaning of official script. They are unpredictable, sometimes new and new, and strange in peace.”
Of course, his generous praise was like a heavenly book to the two princesses.
"Ahem, Your Highness, this is not the authentic work of the Sage of Calligraphy, Wang Xizhi.”Hearing Li Er's bragging, Li Chuan reminded him.
Because he was proficient in calligraphy, it was not difficult for him to copy the Preface to the Lanting Collection in his mind.
Of course, without Wang Xizhi's Preface to Lanting Collection, he would not have been able to write such a masterpiece.
He was standing on the shoulders of his predecessors. Other than acting tough, he could not boast too much.
"That's right, father, brother wrote this.”At this time, Little Changle also spoke in a childish voice.
"What?" Hearing this, Li Er was stunned for a moment. Then, he realized something and said in shock,"This tribute paper is indeed new…This is actually made by Mister. It can be passed off as genuine!”
From this moment on, the four famous calligraphers of the early Tang Dynasty had already lost their luster in his heart.
In fact, he had been so shocked by this work that he had overlooked many details. This reminder immediately woke him up.
"Young Master's calligraphy is like the rebirth of the Sage of Calligraphy. I really can't compare."”
"Your Highness, you flatter me. To be honest, I was able to copy this Preface to the Lanting Collection because I had seen the authentic work up close.”Li Chuan could only say humbly.
"You've seen the original Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection? In whose hands? Can you lend me a look or introduce me?”Hearing this, Li Er immediately said fanatically. He grabbed Li Chuan's hands and was extremely excited.
"When the time is right, I am willing to get the authentic work for Your Highness, but please wait patiently.”Seeing Li Er's expression, Li Chuan's face could not help but twitch slightly. He thought for a moment and said.
He actually understood Li Er's behavior.
Because in this world, no matter now or in the future, no one could love Wang Xizhi's Preface to Lanting Collection as much as Li Er.
First, he used unscrupulous means to obtain the Preface to the Lanting Collection. Then, he took it with him as a treasure. Even after he died, he ordered the Preface to the Lanting Collection to be buried with him.
Where was the Preface to the Lanting Collection now? Who has it?
He knew very well that because he knew this part of history, he was confident that he could go to the Cloud Gate Temple and get the Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection.
"You're not lying? I'm willing to use any treasure to exchange for it!" Li Er asked nervously, his cheeks trembling.
"Deal." Li Chuan nodded.
Speaking of which, he had saved Li Er, and Li Er had also saved him. Therefore, it was not too much to help him fulfill his wish.
"That's true. I'm teaching Lizhi and An Lan how to learn and write now, so I really can't get away.”After receiving Li Chuan's affirmative answer, Li Er said in understanding.
After all, he was also an extraordinary figure. He knew that he had lost his composure just now.
Now that he had seen Li Chuan's calligraphy skills and extraordinary knowledge, he felt that it was the best for Li Chuan to teach his two daughters.
"Royal Father, doesn't my brother's handwriting look like a little person dancing?”The young princess, Li Lizhi, looked up and asked with a smile.
"Royal Father, An Lan feels that in my brother's words, there is a change hidden in elegance, and there is a gentleness in dignity.”Li Anlan pondered.
At this time, Li Er had finished reading the entire Preface to the Lanting Collection and carefully observed the handwriting in the calligraphy. He closed his eyes and said leisurely,
"The little one is dancing. That is the elegance of Taoism. Elegant and beautiful without losing its transformation, that was the literary quality of Confucianism. This was the art of perfection that had both form and spirit!”
Hearing this, Li Chuan nodded in his heart.
According to the historical records, Li Er was a famous calligrapher in the early Tang Dynasty. Now, it seemed that Li Er's appreciation of calligraphy was not exaggerated.
Li Er's comments on his copy of the Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection were almost identical to what the famous scholars of later generations had said.
"I'll borrow Mister's Preface to the Lanting Collection for now. I'll go back and ponder over it properly. I won't show off my Flying White Body today.”Li Er had just finished speaking when he put Li Chuan's copy into his sleeve. Without waiting for Li Chuan's reply, he walked away with a smile on his face.
"Leaving with it?" Li Chuan's face twitched slightly. He finally understood Li Er's shamelessness.
"Brother, can you teach me how to write the characters as little people dancing?”The young princess looked at her father's happy face before he left. She shook Li Chuan's arm and asked curiously.
"I want to learn too, I want to learn too. Not only do I have to write the characters as little people dancing, but I also have to write them elegantly, dignified, flexible, and beautiful.”Li Anlan came over and said anxiously.
"Alright, it's a good thing that you want to practice your writing.”Li Chuan smiled and said,
"Although this won't happen overnight, if you're willing to learn, I'll do my best to teach you.”
Under the setting sun, Li Chuan sat in front of a stone table in the courtyard of King Qin's residence, teaching the two princesses one stroke at a time.
