Chapter 738 Discussing calligraphy with future mother-in-law

Li Zaiyun overestimated her father's calligraphy level, perhaps because she had an irreplaceable position in her mind. Even if two works with the same exact same one, if one of them was given a title with a relative, most people would prefer their relatives' works.

Therefore, this copy of "Lanting Preface" has a halo of family affection in her eyes, which is naturally more valuable, but it is undeniable that Lee Jae-yun's father, Park Sun-mi's grandfather, does have a deep calligraphy foundation.

Mrs. Park thinks how does this calligraphy and painting compare with the original works of Wang Xizhi?

I didn't answer the questions, wanting to see if she could interpret her father's works rationally and how much she understood the works of the Saint of Calligraphy

Wang Xizhi's Lanting Preface was called the world's number one running script in later generations. No one could compare with him in more than 700 years after his death. He was well-known in East Asia, China, Japan, South Korea and other countries, and had no dispute about the title of the saint of calligraphy.

Li Zaiyun thought I was using Wang Xizhi to suppress her father, and was quite dissatisfied. Of course, my father could not be compared with the Lord Calligraphy. If you say that, then I have nothing to say!

Mrs. Park misunderstood. I didn’t want your father to compare with the Saint of Calligraphy, but I would like to ask how much do you think your father knows about Wang Xizhi?

I have never seen Li Zaiyun's father, but I guess he must have seen the original works of Lantingxu, but he has definitely never visited China to travel around the mountains and rivers. Only by walking in the beautiful scenery of the lake and mountains can you experience that artistic conception.

The "Lanting Preface" copied by Li Zaiyun's father is quite similar to the original, but lacks soul, so being able to write a good work is not just something that can be done by copying it.

My father made a special trip to see the original works of Lanting Xu, and also visited Wang Xizhi's former residence. There are so many books about Wang Xizhi at home. He copied all the calligraphy and paintings of Wang Xizhi. Do you think he knows the Master of Calligraphy?

Li Zaiyun spoke of the Lord of Calligraphy, and it seems that Wang Xizhi is also quite in power in Korea.

However, I do not agree with her remarks. Mrs. Park, I do not deny what you said, but I just want to know someone and the essence of "Lanting Preface". "Lanting Preface" was created in China. I think your father should walk in the Chinese landscape and feel the artistic conception of literati and scholars. His calligraphy may be more exquisite.

Li Zaiyun looked at me silently, after thinking for a while, a faint smile appeared on her face. Indeed, you said it was right. It seems that I underestimated you. When my father was bedridden in his later years, he regretted not being able to travel to China more in his prime, especially those places where literati and scholars had stopped. This is my father's biggest regret in his later years. I didn't expect you to see the clues from his calligraphy.

Then can you comment on the advantages and disadvantages of this calligraphy and painting? Li Zaiyun said sincerely

I dare not be a comment, so I will tell you how I feel when I watch this calligraphy and painting myself!

I looked at the "Lanting Preface" copied by Li Zaiyun's father on the wall and said slowly: Lanting Preface was written by Wang Xizhi when he was 51 years old when he was drunk. The whole text has twenty-eight lines and three hundred and twenty-four characters. The whole article is elegant and elegant, with endless changes in the characters. It fully reflects the characteristics of running script that are fluctuating, changing, strong rhythm, colorful shapes, and corresponding dots and strokes.

Lingzun's calligraphy has reached a similar morphology, which is indeed commendable, but lacking charm. If a calligraphy and painting does not have charm, it will not be a masterpiece. If you give Mrs. Park's father a few more years, I believe he will definitely go back to China to experience the spiritual energy of heaven and earth between mountains and rivers, and make it in the mood, and definitely this calligraphy and painting must be one level higher than today!

After I finished speaking, Li Zaiyun's eyes looked at me obviously changed. She was silent for a minute or two before clapping her hands and sighing: Mr. Ye is indeed very insightful, which is similar to my father's views in his later years. This was done by him when he was 62 years old. At most, you have reached my father's level in his early twenties. I admire him.

Mrs. Park has won the award. I was born in China and have traveled to many famous rivers and mountains. I have read countless books and posts. Su Shi's "Huangzhou Cold Food Post" and Yan Zhenqing's "Mission of Nephew" are also quite good running script posts. They are known as the three major running script posts together with "Lanting Preface". If you are interested, wait until I return to China and I will send you two copies I copied by myself.

In order to leave a good impression on Park Sunmi's mother, I had to give it my best. Those things are my treasures in my box.

Li Zaiyun suddenly showed a curious expression. Just lend me a look. I believe that the calligraphy and paintings copied by Mr. Ye will not be below my father's level. How can I win the favor of such precious things?

Otherwise, after I finish the competition, I will copy two paintings and give them to you, just treat them as a gift for Aunt Park!

Seeing that she is so interested, I think it would be better to give her some gifts early, and strike while the iron is hot and then ask her for marriage.

Lee Jae-yun was very happy and asked me to stay for dinner together, but I still had to go back to the hotel. As the leader, I came out for so long, if something happened in the hotel and couldn't find me, so I politely declined Lee Jae-yun's invitation, went downstairs to have a few cups of tea with Park Sun-mi and left.
