The quarrel immediately attracted a group of spectators. More and more people gathered.
Master Liu could no longer remain calm. Once there were more people and the quarrel began, he seemed to be afraid of something. He went forward and said, "Venerable One, do you know calligraphy?"
Without waiting for Fangzheng's answer.
Master Liu held his hands behind his back and looked at Fangzheng with his head held high. Fangzheng saw the nose hair in his nostrils. For the first time, Fangzheng felt that a person's nose hair could be cuter than a person's soul.
Master Liu said, "I've been studying calligraphy for four years. From imitation to transcendence, I believe there's nothing left to write. It's not because my calligraphy is better than everyone else's, but because traditional calligraphy has reached its upper limit. Its own limitations and the number of practitioners are destined to make the people of this era unable to reach the high recognition of the ancients.
"If I can't reach that level of recognition, I naturally won't have that historical height and status. "It also lacks momentum and is boring … Therefore, I plan on imitating the European Renaissance and become a trendsetter that leads the times. Is that wrong? "
Someone echoed, "That's right. Master is creating an era! And all of you are just the beneficiaries of this era. Why aren't you thanking Master and helping him? Instead, you're holding him back. What the hell are you all doing? "
Fangzheng was amused when he heard that. "You dare say that you have surpassed calligraphy after four years? China's calligraphy is extensive and profound. It's probably difficult to even gain basic mastery in four years, right? Since you are so good at bragging, why don't you write some traditional calligraphy for everyone to see? Let's see how good you are. How dare you be so arrogant as to criticize the entire era? "
Master Liu decisively shook his head and said, "It's useless for trash to learn for a lifetime. For a genius, four years is enough. As the saying goes, once you gain enlightenment, you can ascend. I'm the one who has gained enlightenment. Since I've already become an immortal, why should I come back to compete with mortals? I've already given up on traditional calligraphy. "
As he spoke, Master Liu looked at Fangzheng with a look of contempt.
After Fangzheng heard that, he was almost amused. He had seen shameless people because he was a role model. Now, when he compared himself to Master Liu, Fangzheng suddenly realized that he was definitely a role model among people with good character!
Master Liu looked around and continued, "I've been thinking hard about how to make a breakthrough in Chinese calligraphy. I can't sleep day and night. After a month of hard thinking, I finally found inspiration at the beach. When I saw Xiao Tong playing with the water gun, I suddenly had an idea. This water gun is a good thing …
Why did he say that?
Everyone knew that the most troublesome thing about writing calligraphy was that when one got excited, the ink would run out, and one would have to dip it in the ink again. With this, one would lose their passion and interest. What a disappointment!
But this water gun was different. When it was full of water, it could allow you to use ink like jade and write at will! This was the treasure of writing!
I gritted my teeth and put down the brush. Then, I picked up the squirt gun and began to work on the [Three-Foot Shooting Book].
It was just like the Renaissance. Many people could not understand art, but so what if they could not understand it? If we can't understand it, then we, the pioneers of this era, the progressives of evolution, are needed to lead and drive it.
I'm the founder of an era, the promoter of the world's literature and art. Therefore, even if I face the criticism of everyone, I will not shirk my duty!
Some people say that this isn't art. That's because you can't understand the essence of my art with your mortal eyes. Not to mention you, even those so-called traditional calligraphers can't understand it. Why? It's because their cultivation isn't enough!
Therefore, I'm not afraid of being questioned, but I really hate being questioned. You can be ignorant, but you have no right to judge my work! "
With that said, Master Liu looked up at Fangzheng with a proud expression, as though he was saying, "What else do you have to say? Tasteless darn baldy? "
Red Boy tugged at Fangzheng and said with a voice transmission, "Master, this fellow has become a spirit. He has a way with words. From the looks of it, he came prepared. This mouth of his can even make the dead come alive. He's definitely a professional liar. As a part-timer, I'm afraid you can't beat him in an argument. "
Fangzheng ignored Red Boy and said indifferently, "This Penniless Monk does not know art. However, This Penniless Monk knows that all art in the world originates from life and is higher than life. However, all art is ultimately for use, not for fooling around.
"The reason why calligraphy is called calligraphy is because the words written are not only beautiful, but they can also be understood. They can be used and read. The words contain mountains and rivers, and the words are as pleasing to the eye as a painting.
"Therefore, true art coexists for both use and appreciation. "But look at yours …"
With that said, Fangzheng patted Red Boy on the head. Red Boy knew that it was time to curse. It was time for him to take the stage, so he immediately cooperated and shouted, "Look at yours. What the heck is this!?"
Master Liu said indignantly, "Who told you that calligraphy has to be understood? How many people can understand that cursive script? It's a mess. Many people can't understand it. Isn't it still calligraphy? The reason why you can't understand my calligraphy is because your cultivation isn't high enough! "Furthermore, calligraphy is about having a continuous flow. If you use a traditional brush, you have to dip it in ink every time. This way, it's very easy to lose the flow. Why can't shooting calligraphy replace such backward calligraphy?"
Fangzheng smiled. "Do you really know calligraphy or are you just pretending? Calligraphy is about having a continuous flow. It's a concept, not the form of writing a word. It's a form, not a form! "Therefore, there's a saying in calligraphy: 'The brush breaks, but the meaning remains!' "If you can't reach this realm, even if you write a thousand words in one stroke, it will still be broken!"
With that said, Fangzheng said in a deep voice, "Although China has five thousand years of history and our ancestors have left us countless treasures, in the long river of history, ignorant people have lost many treasures. Now, there aren't many left. "And you still want to embarrass yourself with these few remaining treasures. In order to attract attention, you didn't hesitate to destroy this treasure. What are your intentions?
"Tell me, what are you writing? Two twisted lines and a circle. What is this? "
When Master Liu heard this, he was somewhat speechless. After holding it in for a long time, he raised his head and said proudly, "It can only be understood but not explained. You don't understand, so you have no right to judge me!"
Fangzheng was instantly infuriated when he heard that. This grandson really knew how to posture. If he could spout nonsense, he would spout nonsense. If he couldn't explain it, he would use the excuse that they couldn't understand it and that they were too low-level to explain it. At the same time, he would step on them to elevate himself.
Fangzheng was unhappy. Fangzheng was very unhappy!
Red Boy asked Fangzheng, "Master, what do we do? There's no way you can beat this grandson in an argument. "
