The growth system comes at the age of 30

Chapter 67 How embarrassing

Li Beixing was surprised: "This is written... much better than mine!"

To exaggerate a little, it was even better than what she had seen written by many people.

For example, her father once asked someone to write a painting of "God rewards hard work" and hung it in his office to show off his knowledge of culture. It was said that it was written by the vice president of a local association, but it felt just like that.

He also gave me tens of thousands of dollars as a writing fee.

If he wasn't her biological father, she would have wanted to complain, "He's stupid but has a lot of money."

What Chen Jingle writes gives people a different feeling and is very comfortable to read. It’s okay to call it calligraphy art.

However, her expertise is limited, and she is unable to further analyze and judge Chen Jingle's calligraphy.

then,

She saved the two pictures and sent them to her calligraphy teacher.

"Teacher Xie, what do you think of these two works?"

Xie Nanyan is Li Beixing’s calligraphy teacher.

The two people's names seem to have a connection, which was also one of the reasons why Xie Nanyan was willing to teach her calligraphy at that time.

However, Xie Nanyan was not a professional calligrapher. She mainly studied Chinese language and was a retired professor of South China Normal University. Li Beixing used to travel to the provincial capital during the winter and summer vacations every year and learn calligraphy from her.

The two of them are just an ordinary teacher-student relationship, not a master-disciple relationship, but they are very close.

Mrs. Xie is 73 years old this year, but she is still in good spirits.

She had short gray hair curled into slight curls and wore round-framed gold-rimmed glasses. She was dressed like a typical elderly female intellectual and was very elegant.

Although the old lady is old, she uses a smartphone better than many people.

When she saw the picture sent by Li Beixing, she enlarged it and looked at it several times. She was a little surprised. In order to see it more carefully, she transferred the picture to a tablet.

After a while, he replied to Li Beixing's voice message:
"The styles of the two pictures are very obvious. The first one is learned from Mi Fu, and I have a deep understanding of Mi Fu's morphological structure and brushwork. The second one is more like Zhao Mengfu. Both pieces are very correct in their approach, and it is obvious that they have a solid foundation in ancient calligraphy. In addition, there are traces of other famous artists, and even personal writing habits. The brushwork is sophisticated, but the meaning of the characters does not seem to be written by an older person. It's quite interesting."

"For this kind of calligrapher who has begun to gradually form his own unique style, judging from the overall strength of his brush and his ideas, if he is no older than 45, he is already considered good among the younger generation. If he is preparing for exhibitions and competitions, he should have no problem passing the provincial level."

"Only at the provincial level?" Li Beixing was surprised.

To be honest, she thinks her writing is better than many people in the China Association.

Xie Nanyan laughed: "Girl, provincial level is already very impressive! I mean real strength to participate in the exhibition, not to get in by relying on someone's name! Some people have been writing for their whole lives, but they are only at the level of a city exhibition."

Li Beixing pondered: "If that's the case, it's really amazing."

Ultimately, the reason is that the country has a large population base and many geniuses. Even if it is only one in ten thousand, there are still hundreds of thousands of them.

This is unimaginable for small countries.

Xie Nanyan was a little curious: "You haven't told me which school the author is from?"

"do not know."

Li Beixing confessed decisively: "It was posted by a friend of mine on WeChat Moments. He is quite young and I have never heard him say that he practices calligraphy. He is probably self-taught."

Xie Nanyan pondered for a few seconds and said, "It's not impossible to learn on your own, but if there's no one to guide you, and you can only reach this level by copying ancient calligraphy, you can only say that you have extraordinary talent."

For a moment, I felt a desire to find talent.

I quickly said, "Please ask for me. If there really is no teacher, I can help introduce one."

She has worked in the field of literature for many years. Although she is not specialized in calligraphy, she knows many famous contemporary calligraphers.

Apart from anything else, there are contemporary calligraphy masters in the School of Traditional Chinese Medicine who learned from Mi Fu and Zhao Mengfu, some of whom are included in the Contemporary Hall of Fame.

It is said that it is difficult to find a good teacher, and the same is true for a talented disciple.

For those who are almost at the pinnacle of contemporary literature, the importance of inheritance has surpassed so-called innovation.

This inheritance does not refer to a single family, but stands from the perspective of the entire national culture. We place our hopes on the next generation.

"Then let me ask."

Li Beixing agreed, but felt a little guilty.

I feel like asking the question directly is a bit rash.

But after thinking about it, I couldn't think of any good opening remarks, so I had to go ahead with it.

Straight to the point, "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, Mr. Chen. Your handwriting is really good, much better than mine, even my teacher says it's good."

Chen Jingle was a little surprised when he saw the message from Li Beixing.

He had a good impression of Chen Qiyun, the Chinese teacher. At first glance, she looked like a girl from a well-off family who had not been subjected to the harsh treatment of society.

Although this kind of person is sometimes naive, he is also easy to get along with.

So I asked curiously: "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, Teacher Li. May I ask who your teacher is...?"

Li Beixing: "A retired professor from South China Normal University. I studied calligraphy with her for a period of time."

Chen Jingle suddenly realized: "Oh, thank you for the compliment, old man. I just wrote it for fun, so it's probably not as good as yours."

Although he didn't know the status of this retired professor, he was still very happy to hear others say this.

Just writing for fun?
Li Beixing's expression became a little weird. Is this the difference in talent between people?
"Excuse me, who did you learn calligraphy from?"

"I didn't learn from anyone. I just practiced on my own."

"Is this true? I feel that with your level, you are qualified to participate in the China Association Exhibition." Li Beixing was hit again after confirming it. He felt a little depressed and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

As expected, people are more irritating than others.

Chen Jingle replied: "You are overpraising me. How can I compare with the national team? I just wrote it casually. I enjoy reading it."

He had no intention of pursuing calligraphy.

Whether it is flower gardening, cooking, or calligraphy, he has only one goal, which is to enrich his knowledge and make himself happy.

Just be happy.

People do not live for others. What others think of them is their business. Your own happiness is closely related to yourself.

Li Beixing then revealed his purpose: "Actually, I want to ask on behalf of my teacher if you need a teacher. She can recommend one for you."

Recommended?

Chen Jingle was stunned for a moment, thought for a few seconds, and chose to decline: "Thank you for your kindness, but calligraphy is just a hobby for me, and I don't plan to make a living from it. Forget about becoming my apprentice and learning from you."

Speaking of teachers, the system is his best teacher.

He doesn't want to find another boss who keeps an eye on him every day and makes demands on him.

How tiring!

"Well, I'm just asking for others."

Li Beixing's rejection of him was expected. For some reason, she felt that this person did not like being bound by various rules and regulations.

After a pause, she continued, "By the way, I really like your calligraphy. Can you write one for me?"

Chen Jingle was just thinking about how to decline politely when the other party sent another message.

"I can pay for the writing."

Oh, I'm so sorry.
