Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 611 Art requires imagination

Leo Tolstoy said: "Art is not a craft, it is the expression of feelings experienced by the artist." But Einstein also said: "Imagination is more important than knowledge."

These seem to be two completely different attitudes, positive and negative, but they both illustrate a problem - art can be higher than life, but it must come from life.

From this perspective, Wang Xuean's point of view is correct.

It's not because of the deep love for this country, or after experiencing hope and disappointment again and again, how to do "the Hu is still alive, the temples are in autumn, and the tears are empty. Unexpectedly, the heart is in the Tianshan Mountains, and the body is old in Cangzhou!" Such extremely pathetic words?

If it wasn't for serving the country with loyalty and loyalty, and if it wasn't for the gold and iron horses killing the Hulu and crab meat, how could they make such impassioned shouts as "wait for the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and go to the sky"?
With Fang Jun's identity and experience, it is impossible for him to have the free and easy feelings of "Ai Lian Shuo" who is independent from the world and looks at the world with a cold eye, let alone the transcendent state where everyone is drunk and I am alone.

This is the essence of art.

In fact, it is really a good starting point to measure whether Fang Jun's "Ai Lian Shuo" is true or not.No matter how much Fang Jun talks about lotus flowers, it is impossible for others to believe that he can "know it" without having experienced it, which will definitely arouse the doubts of the entire scholarly circle.

However, it doesn't help...

There are always some unexpected situations in this world, and the one-size-fits-all truth becomes unconvincing, Fang Jun is like this.

*****
According to Wang Xue'an's point of view, it is impossible to understand things that have never been experienced, let alone reach that state, and it is impossible to write works with such profound meanings...

Fang Jun admitted in his heart that this point of view was correct, but he wanted to slap Wang Xuean in the face.

Fang Jun turned around in the lobby, and saw a few small heads peeking out from behind the door not far away.

Fang Jun smiled and shouted: "Di Renjie!"

Those little guys were poking their heads, Fang Jun called out abruptly, then shrank back with a "whoosh", and there was no movement for a long time.

Presumably because they heard that the emperor came here, the little guys who were studying in the Chongxian Hall all came to sneak a glimpse of Longyan, right?At this moment, being pointed out by Fang Jun, he was too scared to show his face.

Fang Jun secretly laughed, such a bad idea must have come from the eccentric Di Renjie, so he raised his voice: "Di Renjie, I've seen you, come out!"

Just then a child came out from behind the door, with delicate features, two dark eyeballs whirling around, hesitantly daring to come over... After all, peeping on the emperor in private is strictly speaking a crime of disrespect.

His Majesty Li Er saw that the child was good-looking and excited, so he asked with a smile, "Whose doll is this?"

The positioning of Chongxian Hall is the highest aristocratic school in the Tang Dynasty, but all those who can study here are those who have made great achievements in the court.

Fang Jun replied: "This son is the grandson of Di Xiaoxu, a Linying man, and his father, Di Zhixun, the county magistrate of Shan County in Yuezhou."

His Majesty Li Er couldn't remember who the county magistrate of Shan County in Yuezhou was, but Di Xiaoxu's name immediately reminded him of Emperor Gaozu who had successively served as the chief of the army, the general, the minister Zuo Cheng, and the envoy. Jie Bianzhou military, Jin Ziguanglu doctor, canonized Linying men's important ministers.

He smiled and said, "This one is not bad."

Seeing that Di Renjie was shy and afraid to come over, Fang Jun thought to himself, is this kid still shy?Then he ordered: "Go and get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

"Hey!" Di Renjie agreed, turned around and slipped away quickly...

The Chongxian Hall is the place where the prince studies. There are naturally plenty of pens, ink, paper and inkstones. After a while, Di Renjie took them and put them on a large desk on the side of the lobby, and then obediently bowed to His Majesty Li Er and the prince Li Chengqian .

His Majesty Li Er nodded with a smile. Li Chengqian saw that Fang Jun only called out this kid, obviously wanting to show his face in front of the emperor and himself. It must be a very close relationship, so he pulled the jade pendant from his waist and gave it to Di Renjie .

Di Renjie's face was flushed with excitement, and he bowed and saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Highness, Prince..."

His Majesty Li Er was more and more satisfied. He was indeed a clever child, and he even knew to put the emperor first. You must know that the one who rewarded him was the crown prince, and ordinary children would not be so thoughtful.

Fang Jun stood in front of the book case, patted Di Renjie's head, and said, "Yanmo!"

"Hey!" Because Fang Jun got the reward, Di Renjie didn't have any dissatisfaction with Fang Jun ordering him to work, so he obediently added water to the inkstone, and carefully grinded the ink.

The inkstone was full of ink, Fang Junxin picked up a brush, looked at Wang Xuean, and said indifferently: "Fang does not agree with the old gentleman's point of view. Whether it is poetry or poetry, even if it requires the accumulation of experience Feel and ponder with your heart, but sometimes, imagination is more important. A pair of imaginary wings can lead us to fly in a field that has never been reached.”

After saying that, pick up the pen and write quickly, like a dragon and snake running away, with a single stroke.

His Majesty Li Er loves calligraphy very much, and he likes to read Fang Jun's handwriting the most. He immediately left his seat and stood up, walked over with his hands behind his back, and stood aside to admire carefully.

Although Xu Jingzong's character is not good, his cultural level is absolutely top-notch. He has seen Fang Jun's unique font and amazing talent, and he also stood aside to watch.

When Li Chengqian, Xiao Yu, and Xie Chengjie saw the emperor standing up, they also got up quickly and surrounded the two sides of the book case.

Ink was dripping on the white rice paper.

A piece of regular script, the handwriting is just like.The appearance of the font is round and connotative, the stippling is rich and strong, the structure is wide and beautiful, the appearance is soft and smooth but the inside is strong, the shape is elegant and the skeleton is strong.Although it is regular script, it is obviously mixed with running script to make the words beautiful and charming.

Xu Jingzong blurted out praise: "Good words!"

Even if his personal morality is deficient, but Xu Jingzong's skills are there. Looking closely at Fang Jun's handwriting, it seems that he has improved compared with the past, which is very rare.I also have to admire him, this person has always been famous for being ignorant, but due to his talent, this handwriting is more exciting than many well-educated Confucians who have been immersed in this Tao all their lives. It is not difficult to become a generation of masters who started a sect!
On this point, Xu Jingzong was convinced.

Wang Xue'an is a well-known Confucian, and his vision is not much worse than Xu Jingzong's. He just took a look at this font, and his heart skipped a beat.Didn't everyone say that Fang Jun is ignorant, but how could he write such a good handwriting?
I was flustered, and I didn't have the time to savor this unique and beautiful font carefully, and read the content at a glance.

After reading it once, Wang Xuean's expression turned pale...

Prince Li Chengqian stood behind His Majesty Li Er and chanted in a manly voice: "Jinse has fifty strings for no reason, and one string and one column misses the year of China. Zhuang Shengxiao dreamed of butterflies, Wangdichun's heart entrusted cuckoos. There are tears in the sea and moon, and the sun in Lantian is warm. Yu Shengyan. This feeling can be regarded as a memory, but it was already at a loss..."

His Majesty Li Er's face was gloomy, and he couldn't help but think of his wife, Empress Changsun, who died young, and miss him...

Jinse, why do you have fifty strings?
Every chord and every section reminds me of the golden years.My heart is like Zhuangzi, who is confused by the dream of a butterfly; it is also like Wangdi turning into a cuckoo, pinning his spring heart and sorrow.The sea is bright and the moon shines brightly, and the weeping and tears of the sharks become pearls.The red sun in Lantian is warm, and you can see smoke from Liangyu.The joys and sorrows of separation and reunion should not be recalled today, but they were careless and at a loss in those days...

For a moment, His Majesty Li Er felt pain in his heart, and stared blankly at the seven-character verse, a little absent-minded.

Wang Xuean's face was pale!
Good poems can make readers appreciate the implication and artistic conception contained in them. It is not surprising that His Majesty Li Er missed his wife because of this.

But Wang Xue'an focused on looking for Fang Jun's loopholes, after thinking about it several times, he was horrified!
Poetry is born from the heart, this is a consistent law!

Only when you think about it can you feel something in your pen, and the emotions in your heart flow out, and it has become a famous article through the ages!

But Fang Jun's poem really made Wang Xue'an confused!
This can be a love poem written for a beautiful woman named "Jinse"; it can also be a mourning poem written for the deceased wife when seeing things and thinking about others; It is consistent with the four kinds of sounds and emotions, so it can be inferred as a poem describing music...

Only when you have experience in your body can you feel something in your heart and write works.

This is Wang Xuean's point of view.

But this poem...

The choice of words, sentences, rhyme and artistic conception are all top-notch for a while, and no one dares to say that this poem is not good!

But the question is, what was the author thinking when he wrote this poem?What is he trying to express? What has he experienced?
Can't see it at all!
Wang Xuean felt that his point of view was completely inapplicable to this poem.

An inexplicable and unintelligible masterpiece shattered his point of view...

While he was in a daze, Fang Jun had already asked Di Renjie to remove the calligraphy, dipped the nib of his pen in ink, and wrote with his wrist hanging, flying like a dragon!
