Chapter 3997 The Origin of Calligraphy Art

"Wo..." The people present were fascinated by what they heard. They had almost no objections to Ling Daozi's broad definition of calligraphy, because this was exactly their actual understanding, but they didn't usually summarize it like this. After hearing what Ling Daozi said, they all felt suddenly enlightened!

My understanding of calligraphy seems to have suddenly been raised to a new level!

Indeed, if, as Lingfei said, calligraphy is equated with writing, it is just writing. Although it is practical, it cannot lead to enlightenment.

The so-called concept determines understanding, and the level of understanding determines the level of calligraphy. If you always stay at the practical level of writing, it will be difficult to move to the next level. This new level is the artistry of writing, and the pursuit of art is endless Taoist realm...

Xiaoxing continued: "After we understand the narrow and broad definitions of calligraphy, we should have a new understanding of how to practice calligraphy, but this is not enough..."

"Isn't this enough?!" Everyone was shocked!

Zhiyong asked quickly: "What else is there?"

Little progress…"

"The origin of the art of calligraphy..." Zhiyong murmured, thoughtfully...

Ling Fei was unknowingly attracted by Ling Daozi's words at this time. The initial tit-for-tat sharpness had weakened a lot, but he was extremely interested in the questions raised by Ling Daozi. At this time, he said: "The origin of the art of calligraphy …Aren’t these words created by our ancestors? If we look at history, it can be traced back to billions of years ago, right? Can’t we start studying it from that time?”

"well said!"

Little Rich nutrients have been drawn from it, and it is these nutrients that have contributed to the current prosperous situation of calligraphy where a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred birds sing, but..."

"But what?!" Ling Fei asked urgently.

"These ancient characters are still not the true origin of the art of calligraphy!" Xiaoxing said.

"Ah?!!!" Everyone screamed and looked at each other...

To be honest, after hearing Ling Daozi say that everyone must start practicing and studying from the most primitive characters, everyone already found it extremely incredible, because this is almost impossible. There are very few characters that have been passed down from ancient times to the present, and many They have all been lost long ago, and there was no unified writing at that time. The words written in various places are different. Even if I put many of the words in front of me, I don’t recognize them, but it recognizes my state. How can I study this? ?

This is extremely difficult, but Ling Daozi actually said that this is not the origin. If this is not the origin, what else can be the origin of the art of calligraphy?

You can't just rely on imagination, right?

When everyone was at a loss, Xiaoxing said: "Seniors, you might as well think about it, why were the ancients able to create words from a blank state?"

"This..." Everyone was confused again...

Ling Fei suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "Could it be taught by the cave spirit?"

"Dongling?!" Everyone was refreshed!

Ling Fei's point of view made everyone think a lot at once. Yes, this possibility is too great, because the help of Dongling to all tribes is real, especially the Black Hole tribe, which has changed all the way with his help. It has become the highest race in the world inside the cave. If the ancestors can create ancient characters out of ignorance, then it is most likely to get the help of the cave spirit...

Xiaoxing was also amazed by Ling Fei's big brain circuit. I have to say that this kid is also a bit spiritual. At least when everyone feels that there is no way forward, he can jump out and express such a point of view, well,

It’s worthy of praise…

He smiled and said: "Master Ling's guess is not unreasonable, but whether it is true or not, you may need to confirm it with Dong Ling himself? I wonder if any of the seniors here can contact Dong Ling to confirm it?"

"This..." Everyone was speechless for a while, and turned to look at Ladu. If anyone can contact the cave spirit, then the clan leader is the most likely...

Ladu looked a little embarrassed, coughed a few times, and said: "Dongling told me a long time ago that he wanted to go out for a trip. I don't know if he has come back. I haven't heard from him recently..."

"fertile…"

"It turns out that Lord Dongling went on a trip..."

"Oh my God, where did he go?"

"You should be back, right?"

"It should be, maybe he is sleeping..."

"That's right..."

Everyone is speculating...

Xiaoxing was secretly happy in her heart. These people probably haven't thought until now that the cave spirit of Tiangang Black Hole has abandoned them all!

Because of the information obtained from the monitoring network, Xiaoxing already knew that the original cave spirit had left, and that the new cave spirit was now in charge of the black hole. Moreover, judging from the growth of the new cave spirit, there had been nearly 10 million cave spirits in this time. Year!

Of course, ten million years is quite a long time for the life in the cave world, but it is extremely short for the new cave spirit. Therefore, the strength of this new cave spirit is not very strong now and should be in its infancy. …

However, since he can mobilize a considerable part of the black hole's power for his own use, his strength is still extremely powerful compared to some ordinary powers, but it may still be far away from super powers like Jiyong and Radu. Far inferior, so where would the new cave spirit come to contact them? Wouldn't it be very troublesome if they saw that he was weak and had malicious intentions?

This is the inner sense of self-protection of Xindongling. Although he will not doubt that people like Zhiyong and Ladu will do these things, this sense of self-protection will make him hide when he is very weak. Strengthen yourself first. After all, if you want to help others, you must be strong enough, right?

Xiaoxing said: "Since the cave spirit cannot be found for the time being, we might as well put Master Ling's conjecture aside for now. What I want to say is that the ancient characters created by the ancestors may have nothing to do with the cave spirit!"

"It has nothing to do with it?!" Everyone screamed!

"It doesn't matter? How did the ancestors create writing?" Zhiyong asked in surprise.

Xiaoxing pointed at the light screen and said, "Senior, let's see what's on the screen?"

Zhiyong glanced at him and said, "A flying bird?"

"Not bad, senior, let's take a look again..."

Zhiyong continued to stare at the picture, and was surprised to see that the bird was flying, and its body shape seemed to be constantly changing. From the living bird at the beginning, it gradually turned into a bird in the painting, and then, The body shape of the bird in the painting continues to change, and this trend of change begins to become linear. The outline of the body begins to be composed of some complicated dots and lines, and these complicated dots and lines continue to change. From complexity to simplicity, from visualization to symbolization, and finally turned into the flying character he wrote! ! !

"Oh my God!!!" Everyone screamed, staring closely at the flying word, as if they saw a door slowly opening in front of their eyes...

Zhiyong seemed to have realized something and said excitedly: "Xiao Ling, are you saying that my character Fei gradually evolved from a flying bird?!"

Xiaoxing nodded and said: "Yes, among the methods of creating characters, there is a type of characters called pictograms. These characters evolve from the shapes of some things, such as the character Fei!"

"Hieroglyphic characters? Yes, no wonder when I wrote this character, I seemed to see a flock of birds flying. Only in this way can the characters written in this way have my artistic charm, otherwise they would lose their agility. ..." Zhiyong said suddenly.

Xiaoxing praised: "This shows that seniors have understood an extremely important principle in calligraphy, that is, Tao follows nature!"

"Tao follows nature?!"

"Yes, nature is a huge treasure house and the original origin of many art forms, such as calligraphy!" Xiaoxing said affirmatively.

"What? Are you saying that the origin of calligraphy art is nature?!" Zhiyong asked in shock.

"Yes! When our ancestors were born, they were in nature. They needed to hunt, communicate, save information, and adapt to everything around them. So they saw a bird, a beast, and an insect. , a tree, a person... So he carved it on a stone, on a tortoise shell, on a piece of bamboo, on anything that could be carved. This was the beginning of writing. Writing can not only describe things, but also record them. Things, such as seeing someone dancing, playing music, singing, fighting... So from hieroglyphs to ideographic characters, to instructions, pictophonetic, transliteration, pretense and other word-making methods, the writing became It is getting richer and richer. It can be said that drawing the nourishment of art from nature is the core concept of many art fields!" Xiaoxing said.

"Wow!!!" Everyone listened intoxicated and felt that their imaginations were opened up. Zhiyong was so excited that he was shaking slightly. For him, hearing Ling Daozi's words today was better than his countless studies on calligraphy. Years of time, how could this not make him feel extremely excited?

Ling Fei was stunned on the side!

He didn't expect that when he first came in, he thought he was going to waste time today, but he didn't expect to hear such words from Ling Daozi. Such a view was so fresh and shocking that his heart couldn't bear it. feeling…

Maybe after today, it’s time for me to go to nature to understand, instead of closing the door and blindly cultivating, because doing so will only make me lose the best master, which is the extremely vivid nature! ! !
