I started to become more self-disciplined at the age of 30

Chapter 232 231. Worry about the world before you worry about yourself, and be happy about the world after you are happy about yourself!

The number of people online in the live broadcast room began to increase rapidly.

Many audiences were very excited.

"Is Lao Jiang going to write something again? Is he going to write about our Dongting Lake?"

"Wow, when will Lao Jiang's inspiration run dry? This makes other writers look stupid."

"What does Lao Jiang want to write?"

"Old Jiang is going to write a work for us in Xiangnan? Exciting!"

"Old Jiang..."

……

Many local audiences in Yueyang were the most excited and were looking forward to Jiang Chen writing some representative works for the local area.

Just like Jiang Chen's previous works such as Night Mooring at Maple Bridge in Suzhou, Langtaosha written by the Huangpu River in Shanghai, Song of Everlasting Sorrow written in Chang'an, The Road to Shu is Difficult written on the way back to Sichuan and Shu, and Prime Minister of Shu written at the Wuhou Temple in Chengdu, etc., these works that are representative of a region can greatly increase the local popularity and attract many people to watch. In the long run, they can also greatly increase the cultural heritage and may become famous scenic spots and historical sites hundreds of years later.

At this time, I was at Sichuan University in Chengdu.

in an office.

Yan Shouzhong, Zhang Shuwen, Lin Shuang, and Li Wenjun were all sitting together watching Jiang Chen's live broadcast. They came from Peking University to Sichuan University and had just come to Yan Shouzhong's office to discuss their employment. They happened to see Yan Shouzhong watching Jiang Chen's live broadcast, so they started watching it together.

Yan Shouzhong has been very successful recently. Not only have several talented people from Peking University joined the university, but Shuimu University, also in Beijing, has also attracted several top talents in the Chinese Department. In addition, many people from the Chinese departments of famous universities such as Shuangxing in Shanghai, Zhejiang University in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Chang'an Jiaotong University in the northwest have jumped to the Chinese Department of Sichuan University.

The foundation of Sichuan University's Chinese Department instantly jumped to the top few in the country. Although it still cannot be compared with Peking University and Shuimu University, its current paper strength is no weaker than famous universities such as Zhejiang University, Chang'an University and Jiaotong University. If Jiang Chen, who is only on a temporary assignment, is included, then even Shuimu and Peking University can give it a try.

After all, Jiang Chen alone is enough to equalize the foundation accumulated by Shuimujing over a hundred years.

Zhang Shuwen looked at the live broadcast and smiled: "I thought Jiang Chen would go on a variety show and sing, so I might not see him writing for a while. I didn't expect to see him writing again so soon. It seems that I don't have to worry about Jiang Chen putting down his brush."

Zhang Shuwen heard that Jiang Chen was going to a variety show these days, and he was indeed worried that Jiang Chen would be corrupted by the fame and fortune of the entertainment industry, and it might be difficult for him to write good works in the future.

Now that Jiang Chen is about to write again so soon, he feels much more relaxed, knowing that his worries were unnecessary, as Jiang Chen has definitely not given up his calligraphy and literary talent.

Yan Shouzhong smiled and said, "That's right. It's no exaggeration to say that Jiang Chen's talent is the best in history. The Humble House Inscription he wrote the day before yesterday is really what everyone wants. Hanging it in your own home will instantly make your life different."

Lin Shuang smiled and said, "It's called "Ode to the Humble House", but who lives in a humble house now? If there are great scholars talking and laughing, and no unlearned people coming and going, it means this is not a humble house."

Li Wenjun smiled faintly and said nothing, but just looked at Jiang Chen on the live broadcast screen and Yan Ruyu who was following Jiang Chen, with a hint of envy in his eyes.

Zhang Shuwen: "It would be great if I could bring the Humble House Inscription to look at. It's a calligraphy work that is comparable to Wang Youjun's, and it's the first time it's appeared in the world!"

The first authentic running script calligraphy in history is the legendary Lanting Preface by Wang Youjun, but the original has never appeared and only exists in legends.

Now the calligraphy of "Praise of the Humble Dwelling" written by Jiang Chen is on par with that of Wang Youjun, so this "Praise of the Humble Dwelling" is the number one authentic calligraphy in the world today.

Yan Shouzhong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's too difficult! However, if you want to see Jiang Chen's Song of Everlasting Sorrow and Water Melody, I can ask someone to use their connections to go and take a look!"

Zhang Shuwen's eyes lit up: "I heard it was at Jiang Chen's parents' house?"

Yan Shouzhong nodded: "Yes, Jiang Chen gave the originals of these two works to his parents for safekeeping. His parents don't mind others visiting their home. However, people with ordinary connections are definitely not qualified to visit. I happen to know Jiang Chen's uncle, and I can ask his uncle to take us to visit him and see the originals of Song of Everlasting Regret and Water Melody."

Zhang Shuwen stood up excitedly: "That's great!"

Lin Shuang's pretty face flushed with excitement, and Li Wenjun's eyes were also full of anticipation.

Why did they give up one of the best universities in China and come to Sichuan to work? Of course, it was not for their future or fame, but for their pursuit in their hearts, that is, they wanted to see the best calligraphy and literary talent.

Now, just a few days after arriving, they can appreciate the original works of Jiang Chen's Song of Everlasting Sorrow and Song of Water Melody up close, which immediately made Zhang Shuwen and Lin Shuang feel that they made the right decision to come to Sichuan University.

Yan Shouzhong continued, "I was planning to discuss with Jiang Chen about shipping his works left in Shanghai and Beijing. We at Sichuan University will keep them for him and build a special exhibition hall to house his works."

Zhang Shuwen's eyes lit up: "That's great!"

Lin Shuang and Li Wenjun's eyes also lit up.

Thinking that they would be able to see most of Jiang Chen's works at school in the future, such as Lang Tao Sha, Zui Hua Yin, Wang Yue and other works written by Jiang Chen, they became excited and impatient. They wished that all those works would be transported here for centralized exhibition right now so that they could go and view and study them one by one.

However, in comparison, they would rather go to Jiang Chen's parents' house to see the Song of Everlasting Regret, the best long narrative poem in history that they have been thinking about, and Water Melody, which was not written during the Mid-Autumn Festival but is considered by them to be the best Mid-Autumn Festival poem in history!

The literary value of these two works is simply too high.

If Jiang Chen's calligraphy skills are added to it, it would truly be one of the greatest treasures in history.

Lin Shuang also said expectantly: "It would be even better if we could also borrow Song of Everlasting Regret and Water Melody for preservation and exhibition."

Yan Shouzhong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "That's unlikely. Although his parents don't mind others coming to watch, they will never allow anyone to borrow it. If it were me, I would definitely do the same. As a parent, I allow others to come to watch in order to show off their son's work, but I will definitely not allow their son's masterpiece to be taken away."

After hearing this, the three of them nodded in understanding.

When children achieve something, parents will definitely want to show off, but they will also definitely protect them as much as possible.

The three chatted for a few sentences, then stopped talking and looked at the live broadcast screen at the same time.

because……

In the scene, Yan Ruyu and Han Qing had already placed the pens, ink, paper and inkstones they brought on the table that Han's father had placed on the balcony, and then Han Qing personally ground ink for Jiang Chen again.

Yan Ruyu wanted to grab this position in her heart, but she didn't dare to do so directly. She knew that she was the one with the lowest status around Jiang Chen, and it was not an exaggeration for Han Qing to say that she was the boss.

As a girl from Sichuan, Yan Ruyu has always been a person who never suffers any loss, but she dares not do anything excessive around Jiang Chen, for fear of making Jiang Chen unhappy and asking her to leave immediately. That would be very miserable for her, as she had worked so hard to get around Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen stood in front of the desk, looking at Dongting Lake and Yueyang Tower in front of him, slowly picked up the brush, and dipped it in ink.

Mr. and Mrs. Han, who were standing next to him, were full of admiration for Jiang Chen's demeanor. Then, they looked at their daughter standing beside Jiang Chen grinding ink, which was like a picture of a beautiful woman with fragrant sleeves. It was extremely harmonious, and they were even happier and more expectant.

Father Han took a step forward and stood closer, wanting to see more clearly, staring at Jiang Chen's brush.

Jiang Chen's writing brush slowly fell down, and three elegant and graceful characters quickly appeared.

Yueyang Tower Inscription. Just four words, but Han's father's face was full of admiration.

He would never be able to write these four words in his lifetime.

It is also the kind of text that no other literati in history, except Wang Youjun, could write.

It was the first time for Han’s father to see it up close in real life, and he was even more shocked and impressed than when he watched the live broadcast.

Every stroke of Jiang Chen's pen seemed to be created naturally. The strokes that formed the characters became an artistic landscape that looked extremely pleasing to the eye.

After looking at the calligraphy and then the four words "Yueyang Tower Inscription", Han's father was even more shocked and his face was full of surprise.

Isn’t that Yueyang Tower outside?
Jiang Chen wrote this Yueyang Tower Inscription in his home, so his place will also be recorded in history along with Jiang Chen's article.

And it is tied to the Yueyang Tower in front of the door!

This is a great opportunity to leave your name in history.

Jiang Chen did not stop the brush in his hand, but continued to write with smooth movements, his brush strokes were as natural as if they were flowing water.

The words appeared quickly.

"I saw the beauty of Baling in Dongting Lake. It embraces the distant mountains and swallows the Yangtze River. It is vast and boundless. The morning sun and the evening sun are magnificent. This is the grand view of Yueyang Tower, which has been described by the predecessors. However, it connects Wu Gorge in the north and Xiaoxiang in the south. Many migrants and poets gather here. Wouldn't their feelings when viewing the scenery be different?"

This short sentence made the scene extremely quiet, and even the live broadcast room became much quieter. Although the number of online users rose to 20 million again, the number of people speaking actually decreased.

Far away in Chengdu, Yan Shouzhong, Zhang Shuwen, Lin Shuang, and Li Wenjun from Sichuan University all had their eyes wide open, not wanting to blink, for fear of missing the process of Jiang Chen writing.

In their eyes, every movement and stroke of Jiang Chen was natural and perfect, and was the art of calligraphy, with details that could not be missed. If they could learn even a little bit of it, they would surely be able to cross the current threshold and become masters of calligraphy.

Lin Shuang murmured in a low voice: "The writing is brilliant, magnificent, and well written!"

Zhang Shuwen also nodded in agreement: "Well written!"

Yan Shouzhong: “Well written!”

Li Wenjun: "The writing is good, and the handwriting is even better!"

Several people nodded at the same time.

Jiang Chen's writing is really enjoyable to read.

However, compared with the last time I wrote "Praise of the Humble House", there has been no improvement, and it is still at a level similar to that of Wang Youjun.

They can understand and feel relieved at the same time. This is normal.

If Jiang Chen can stand at the height of the number one calligrapher in history and can make significant progress in a short period of time, he will directly surpass Wang Youjun and become the true number one, instead of being on par with Wang Youjun. That would be incredible.

Seeing that Jiang Chen's calligraphy was almost the same as when he wrote "Ode to the Humble House", he felt a little relieved, but was still amazed and envious.

Anyone who understands and likes calligraphy will absolutely love this text.

Not to mention, it is written in such brilliant style.

In just a short paragraph, the Dongting Lake in front of Yueyang Tower was described.

Jiang Chen's brush did not stop and continued to write.

"When the rain is heavy and the moon is not out, the wind is howling, the waves are surging; the sun and stars are hidden, the mountains are invisible; merchants cannot travel, the masts are tilted and the oars are broken; at dusk, the tigers are roaring and the monkeys are crying. When I climb this tower, I feel homesick for my country, worried about the slander and fear of ridicule, and everything is bleak, and I feel extremely sad."

"It is like the spring when the weather is warm and the sea is calm. The sky is blue and boundless. Seagulls fly and fish swim..."

Jiang Chen's movements were seamless, which made the people around him and the audience in front of the live broadcast room full of envy. His inspiration was flowing like a spring.

Many people would hardly have a moment of literary talent bursting out once in their lifetime, but Jiang Chen seemed to be able to do it at any time.

It seemed as if every piece of work instantly became a complete product in Jiang Chen's mind, and he wrote it out quickly without thinking or considering.

Flowing smoothly without any pause.

Father Han, who was standing next to him, was so overwhelmed with emotion that he felt like kneeling down. Such a person was even more incredible than those top literary masters in history books.

He couldn't believe that such an article and such calligraphy could be written in his own home. For a moment, his heart was filled with pride.

"Alas! I have tried to understand the minds of the ancient sages, and I find that they are different from the two. Why is that?"

"Not pleased, not to have compassion."

“If you are in a high position in government, you worry about the people; if you are far away in the countryside, you worry about your ruler.”

"Advance is worrying, retreat is worrying."

"Then when will we be happy?"

"Then you must say: Worry about the world before you worry about yourself, and rejoice after the world rejoices about itself!"

Jiang Chen finished writing and slowly put down the brush.

Father Han standing next to him was already trembling all over, his face flushed, and there were even tears in his eyes.

This last paragraph really made him so excited that his brain went blank.

Many other viewers who were watching the live broadcast also stood up and shouted in amazement.

Zhang Shuwen immediately stood up and shouted, "Well written, very well written. Worry about the world before you worry about yourself, and be happy after the world is happy! This, this is a sentence that can only be written with a broad mind, it is very good!"

Yan Shouzhong's face flushed with excitement, and he said in a trembling voice: "Indeed, it is written very well. Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself! This can be used as everyone's life motto. Jiang Chen may be practicing this now, don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself! Therefore, he takes everything lightly."

"There are few people in history who can reach this level."

Lin Shuang murmured in a low voice: "When you are in a high position in the government, you worry about the people; when you are far away in the rivers and lakes, you worry about your ruler. Just based on these few sentences, this article is enough to be passed down through the ages and praised for thousands of years!"
