The couple set up a small building in a secluded place in Jiangxi. Under the care of Chen Hong, the whole floor of the third floor was completely opened, creating an elegant and simple study.
There is a horizontal plaque on the door of the study, on which are written two big characters-how interesting. This is the plaque that Chen Kaige gave to his study on impulse when he was drunk with Chen Hong one day. Later, when the wine woke up, I couldn't write that kind of wild and casual taste, so I framed these two words and stuck them on my forehead.
It is dark near Zhu Zhechi, Chen Kaige lingers in the study, and his wife Chen Hong often goes upstairs. When Chen Kaige was in high spirits, he couldn't help giving a nudge or two. With this kind of inspiration, Chen Hong will gradually embark on the road, and his knowledge of calligraphy will become proficient from impassability. Slowly, when writing, a lot of trivial work at the beginning and end was given to Chen Hong.
Always watching Chen Kaige practice calligraphy, Chen Hong is slowly influenced. In his spare time, he will spread out a piece of paper and write and draw at will. Without Chen Kaige's skill, Chen Hong's handwriting was a little scary at first. Chen Kaige looked at Chen Hong's "masterpiece" and felt ashamed. He simply became a calligraphy teacher in Chen Hong and taught himself many years of calligraphy experience.
According to Chen Hong's lack of wrist strength and hand strength, she can't hold a large sum of money. Chen Kaige finally helped his wife determine the main object of calligraphy practice-Feitian lower case. Chen Kaige himself prefers to use capital letters, and his writing style is mainly correct and bold, but the disadvantage is that he can't cope with capital letters, and writing capital letters is a weakness. What he thinks he can't practice is just right for his wife to practice. In the future, this couple will be a match made in heaven.
Chen Kaige specially sent a set of Bi Fei Tou lower case pens and a knife of cotton rice paper for practicing lower case letters from Beijing. At that time, they lived together. Under the guidance of Chen Kaige, Chen Hong soon hit the road. In just three months, he can write small characters the size of soybeans with a very fine pen. Although there is still a little distance from Feitou, it is absolutely unique among female artists in this era.
Chen Hong's fine print is getting better and better, and he is qualified to perform with Chen Kaige. Relatives at home are eager to get some naves written by Chen Kaige, so after Chen Kaige wrote them in print, the task of signing them was given to Chen Hong, Chen Hong took a small pen, beautifully wrote the date of landing and the words "True Learning", and Chen Kaige correctly stamped his own special seal for calligraphy.
Later, when filming "Promise", the word "Promise" at the beginning of the film was Chen Kaige's ink, and the credits at the back were all works by Chen Hong.
As their son grew up in America, Chen Kaige and Chen Hong finally settled in America. After buying a house in the United States, the study is naturally indispensable in a new home, but the American study is located in a spacious basement.
Studying in the United States, Chen Kaige was accompanied by two sons besides Chen Hong. When the two sons began to learn to write English words with pencils, the small writing brush prepared by Chen Kaige officially took up their posts ―― in Chen Kaige's view, writing brush calligraphy is a good thing left by our ancestors and must be handed down from generation to generation.
Chen Kaige prepared a book for his sons, covered with a thin piece of white paper, so that they could start with this book. Although it is only the most basic confusion and painting with red, Chen Kaige has already set his sights further-painting two sons with red is different. Yu Ang copied the paintings of Yan Ti, and Feiyu specialized in Liu Ti. There are four people in the family, each of whom has his own strengths and complements each other, which is much more interesting than the words of four people cast in the same mold.
After the two sons gradually got a little look, there were new group activities every night. After dinner, a family of four went into the basement study together, and one person occupied a bookcase. Chen Kaige recited a poem casually, so they began to work. After that, line up and hang up. Let's sit together and comment and compare, pick out the best one that was recognized that night and keep it. The other three unsuccessful ones were stuffed into the shredder. Children are indomitable. In order to leave their own works as much as possible, they took the initiative to practice calligraphy in the study as soon as they were free, without the supervision of Chen Kaige.
When my son is on holiday, a family of four will travel in China. The destination is not a scenic spot, but some of the most famous places of origin. Stories about pen, ink, paper and inkstone fully aroused the interest of two children in these ancient things. What they are most looking forward to is to go to the origin of these good things and see if there are any ink and ink inkstones that suit them best. ,
Once, in the old pit, pockmarked pit and loose pit of Lanke Mountain in the east of Zhaoqing City, two sons searched for the ground in front of them almost inch by inch, rummaging and digging on the ground from time to time, hoping to dig out a favorite inkstone. Although there was no big gain in the end, I could only pick up two ordinary inkstones with regret. But after some carving by local craftsmen, one piece was made into a butterfly shape, and the other piece was made into an orchid shape. The two sons like it, too. Since then, these two inkstones have become their special pets, and no one will let them move, relying on the arch wall.
In this way, calligraphy has changed from a hobby of Chen Kaige's family to a living habit, just like eating. Without it, I feel something is missing. Mei Lanfang was filmed for 16 months, but during the busy period of 16 months, every night in Chen Kaige's room, the couple would still lay out a piece of rice paper and write a word together, which is still the old rule. Chen Kaige wrote it in big letters, and Chen Hong added it in small letters.
In the crew, Chen Kaige receives an airmail letter from the United States every few days. Although the Internet has become very popular, the couple and their two sons still keep the habit of using original letters, which are all written with a brush. The couple * * * hold a calligraphy brush, add a red circle to the part written well by their son, and then send it back to them as a comment on the calligraphy homework.
