When Mr. was seventy-nine years old, he got this exquisite inkstone. The ink it grinds out makes writing more comfortable and allows the wrist to move more freely.
A floating cloud on the inkstone quietly accompanies me, bringing a trace of comfort at any time. Although Mr. Qi Gong is a giant in the world of calligraphy and painting, his inkstone interest is little known.
The texture of this inkstone is thorough, and it humbly accepts the infiltration of ink, while the space around it can whirl and guard the black color of the ink. Mr. has reached such a level of love and understanding of inkstones that when he bought inkstones, he took Qi Baishi's granddaughter with him, and the salesman was too busy.
The master-apprentice relationship between Qi Baishi and Qi Gong makes Mr. Qi Gong have a unique insight into the selection of inkstones. He believes that the value of inkstones lies not in the magnificence of appearance, but in practicality.
Therefore, Mr. Qigong took Qi Baishi's granddaughter to the inkstone shop to choose. When the salesman took out the inkstone for them to observe, Mr. Qigong explained the profound knowledge of the inkstone to the first point, which made people admire.
His professionalism keeps the salesperson busy.
The cultural heritage became popular 35 years ago, recording the precious moment when Mr. Qigong accompanied Qi Baishi's granddaughter to buy inkstones. Mr. Qi Gong's strong recommendation makes this inkstone appreciation journey particularly rare.
Insightful and concise. I thought that Mr. would explain the doorway of the inkstone in his hand in simple terms, but I didn't expect Mr. to directly point out the origin of the inkstone. Mr. Qigong immediately recognized where this inkstone came from.
In my humble opinion, Mr. Qigong's inkstone explanation level is first-class, even surpassing today's anchors with goods. If he lives today, he must be a hot Internet celebrity with goods.
Mr. Qi Gong's understanding of inkstone products is deep in the bone marrow, and he can judge the source with just a glance, which may not even be able to reach the current salesperson. I heard that the salesman at that time was also impressed by his explanation, because Mr. Qigong knew too much, and the salesman had not had time to introduce it in detail, so he had to quickly come up with different styles for him to appreciate.
It's an exaggeration to say that the salesperson is very busy.
As soon as Mr. Qi Gong stepped into the inkstone shop, his eyes locked on the inkstone under the glass case, which seemed to be the stage for him to display his talents, and he watched them one by one with enthusiasm, skillfully performing his own way of appraising: sometimes gently touching, sometimes carefully tapping, and quietly listening to its sound.
Qi Baishi's granddaughter followed closely behind him, hoping to learn some essence from him in a short period of appreciation. Personally, I think that it may be because of Mr. Qigong's professionalism and sophistication that Qi Baishi's granddaughter would want him to choose an inkstone for herself.
After all, the recommendation of a master will surely be passed down through the ages and be convincing. Moreover, Mr. Qi Gong and Master Qi Baishi are both lovers of inkstones, so it will be accurate for them to choose.
Since more than 1,000 years ago, Duan inkstone has been regarded by successive emperors as the four treasures of the scholar's room, and it is precisely because of the literati's cherishing of the inkstone that Mr. Qigong understands the importance of choosing the first inkstone for Qi Baishi's granddaughter.
Focus on the nuances of Duanxi Mountain Bones Shine, Songyun Crane Longevity, grinding an inch of sharpening, the title is full of pride. Mr. Qi Gong's love for inkstones is often revealed in his words.
In the selection of inkstones, the salesmen eagerly took out a piece of fine inkstone for Mr. Qigong to appreciate, they all know that for decades, Mr. Qigong has read countless inkstones, and the collection of famous inkstones is enough for dozens of squares.
Today, I chose an inkstone for Qi Baishi's granddaughter, and the salesman didn't dare to be sloppy. The salesman here received him warmly, and when Qi Baishi's granddaughter hesitated, he saw that the salesman devoted himself to the selection of inkstones, hoping to select an excellent inkstone for them to enjoy.
The inkstones on the shelves have a variety of styles, each piece is coveted, and when they see Mr. Qigong's professionalism when talking about inkstones, the salesmen are very busy, and they can't wait to show all the inkstones to Mr. Qigong.
After picking the inkstone they liked, the salespeople were not only happy to be busy, but also happy to be able to choose their favorite inkstone for Mr. Qigong and other audiences. Mr. Qi Gong took the inkstone carefully selected by the salesman for Qi Baishi's granddaughter and looked at it carefully.
The salesman crossed his hands, afraid that his choice would not be approved by the gentleman. Mr. Qi Gong tried it with his fingernails, then took out his pen and ink and compared it on the inkstone.
Mr. Qi Gong stared intently, and Qi Baishi's granddaughter and the salesman were fascinated. As the ancients said: "A thousand gold is easy to get, but an inkstone is hard to find", Mr. Qi Gong appreciated the difference in inkstone grinding in an indescribable way, showing his professionalism.
Mr. Qi Gong's series of operations surprised the salesperson very much, and he taught us that only by letting customers experience it for themselves can we really know what kind of goods they need, and we can't just sell them through appearance or salespeople's recommendations.
While waiting for the inkstone to be inked, Mr. Qigong took Qi Baishi's granddaughter to admire other scholar's items. Qi Baishi's granddaughter knew that her husband liked to inscribe on the inkstone, and once carved the inscription on his inkstone: "A fist of stone takes its strength, and a spoonful of water takes its purity".
Inspired by these inscriptions, Mr. Qi Gong named his bedroom and study "Jianjing Ju".
The way of inkstone has things and people, how many of us in the younger generation can do this? Mr. Qi Gong's interest in inkstones, his love for inkstones, makes us deeply understand why he was so focused on choosing inkstones for Qi Baishi's granddaughter.
After the inkstone was distributed, before the salesman had time to react to which inkstone was the best, Mr. Qigong had already chosen a similar inkstone. After he tried it, he immediately recommended it to Qi Baishi's granddaughter, as if loudly proclaiming: "That's it, please take it away!" ”
The salesman took a closer look and found that this inkstone was easy to ink, and the ink did not dry up, making it an ideal grinding tool, and he couldn't help but sigh that Mr. Qigong really knew how to use inkstones.
Compared with those of us who are novice inkstone connoisseurs, Mr. Qigong's skills are really superb. We all know that identifying an inkstone requires a series of complex steps, such as hazing, touching materials and textures, and experimenting with inkstones.
Mr. Qi Gong was able to select the most suitable inkstone for Qi Baishi's granddaughter in one go, although the inkstone he chose was not expensive, but it was rare. If there is no excellent connoisseurship like Mr. Qi Gong, readers must be cautious when buying inkstones circulating in the market, otherwise how can it be said that the salespeople at that time were too busy?
Mr. Qi Gong's act of recommending the inkstone to Qi Baishi's granddaughter is touching, which is undoubtedly a manifestation of a person who loves things deeply, and only the shadow of the inkstone is in his eyes.
Mr. Yipin Qigong appreciates the breadth of his knowledge and the ingenuity of his appreciation of inkstones. Mr. Erpin Qigong, who felt his cultivation, did not show off his professional knowledge, but listened to each other's opinions, which opened the eyes of the reader and was still unfinished, and the salesperson also got valuable inspiration.
Mr. Sanpin Qigong is the way of inkstone and the way of character. He generously shared the knowledge of inkstone to Qi Baishi's granddaughter, and his humor and humility were impressive.
His character stems from his inkstone way, which is like the purity of a spoonful of water, reflecting his attitude to life. One side of the inkstone, one side of the world. Today, the process of appreciating inkstones will become a classic that will be passed down for centuries.
