But Zhuang Zhou reacted quickly.
If viewed from the perspective of this era, these calligraphy works can only be copies.
Because the original is still there.
But think about it carefully, what if there were no authentic works in modern society?
Could these copies be the originals?
After all, no one has ever seen the original!
Even if we really take back Wang Xizhi's authentic work, who would dare to say that it is the authentic one?
This is a very bold idea.
The quality of these copied calligraphy works is so good that they are indistinguishable from the real ones.
Zhuang Zhou said nothing more and accepted all the calligraphy given by Cheng Yaojin.
The two of them raised their glasses again and drank together, talking about poetry.
The atmosphere became increasingly heated.
For the first time, Zhuang Zhou realized that Cheng Yaojin actually loved poetry and songs so much.
This is far from the image of a rough and uncouth man that he had in mind.
For a moment, the whole hall was filled with laughter and the charm of poetry.
Just as everyone was enjoying the wine, Cheng Yaojin suddenly made a request:
"Well, Brother Zhuang, could you write me a poem...anything is fine, I think..."
As he said this, he looked at Zhuang Zhou a little embarrassedly and pursed his lips.
Zhuang Zhou now understood why Cheng Yaojin was so straightforward just now.
So you want to ask for poetry?
Well then!
There are so many Tang and Song poems, so why not just give you a few?
He smiled and heard Zhuang Zhou continue:
"Brother Cheng, you want to use it yourself, right?"
Cheng Yaojin laughed:
“Those guys in the court are always bullying me, calling me a boor.
Actually, I also like to recite poetry in private, but unfortunately, I can’t get good at it.”
"No problem! Let me think about it!"
Seeing Zhuang Zhou's thoughtful expression, Cheng Yaojin quickly asked the singers to leave.
He also asked someone to bring pen and ink so that he could write it himself.
At this time, the hall became quiet.
Zhuang Zhou paced back and forth in deep thought, and soon came up with a poem:
"Brother Cheng, how about this song?"
"Hurry up and tell me!"
Zhuang Zhou murmured softly:
“Have you not seen that the water of the Yellow River comes from the sky, rushes to the sea and never returns?
Don’t you see, the white hair in the mirror in the hall, which was black in the morning and turned into white in the evening?
When you are happy, you should enjoy yourself to the fullest; don’t let your golden cup face the moon empty.
I was born with talent that will be useful, even if I lose all my money, I will get it back..."
Zhuang Zhou recited each sentence.
Cheng Yaojin wrote the poem in one go.
Then he recited it again to himself.
After reciting the poem, he was stunned and clapped his hands in astonishment:
“Good! That’s great!
Hahaha!
I never thought that I, Cheng Yaojin, would be able to hear such a good poem today. This is enough for my life!
This life is enough!"
Zhuang Zhou smiled and said:
"As long as Brother Cheng likes it."
Cheng Yaojin was as excited as a 300-pound fat man:
"Brother Zhuang, I want to frame this poem of yours and hang it in my house for everyone to see!"
Zhuang Zhou smiled and said, "As long as Brother Cheng likes it."
Cheng Yaojin quickly calmed down, thought for a moment and said:
"Brother Zhuang, I remember the couplet on the door of Taibai Restaurant reads, 'Born with talents, I shall be useful; even if I lose all my wealth, I shall still gain it back'?"
That’s right!
This sentence has already appeared.
It doesn’t seem appropriate to give it to Cheng Yaojin again!
This is obviously fake.
Zhuang Zhou's heart moved slightly, and then he smiled and said:
"Brother Cheng has a really good memory, I actually forgot.
Well, I'll think of something else."
After hearing this, Cheng Yaojin continued:
"Brother Zhuang, I am just a military commander. How about you give me some battlefield skills?"
As a military general, he must have written some military poems.
However, when he met Li Yuan and others before, he had already written many classic poems.
Now those are no longer available.
After thinking about it, I quickly thought of another one:
"The moon is dark, the geese fly high, and the Chanyu flees at night.
I wanted to lead the light cavalry to chase them, but the heavy snow covered our bows and swords.
How about it?"
After hearing this, Cheng Yaojin's eyes suddenly lit up and he praised:
"Good poem! Good poem!
This poem truly captures the bravery of our military commanders.
"Brother Zhuang, with your talent, you are undoubtedly a person from the Immortal Palace!"
Zhuang Zhou smiled slightly and said modestly:
"It's okay, it's okay!"
Just as he was getting excited, Cheng Yaojin asked hurriedly:
"Brother Zhuang, it's rare for me to be happy. Can you compose a few more songs for me?"
"no problem!"
Zhuang Zhou thought for a moment and then composed another poem:
"A hundred battles have torn my armor to pieces, and the city to the south has been surrounded by numerous sieges.
He suddenly attacked the camp and shot and killed General Huyan, and returned alone with the remaining thousand soldiers."
Cheng Yaojin listened to the poems recited by Zhuang Zhou, his eyes flashing with excitement.
It was as if I saw myself bravely killing enemies on the battlefield.
He slammed the table and stood up, praising loudly:
"Brother Zhuang, no wonder the emperor thinks so highly of you. You are truly remarkable!"
The two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere became more harmonious.
Zhuang Zhou was secretly glad that he had learned a lot of poetry in his previous life.
I am also constantly learning on weekdays.
Otherwise, I really can’t cope with it today.
Seeing Cheng Yaojin's enthusiastic response, Zhuang Zhou felt even more proud.
He continued to recite those popular poems, bringing the atmosphere to a climax.
He recited seven or eight poems in a row, and finally gave his favorite one to Cheng Yaojin.
This poem is Xin Qiji's classic work "Pozhenzi".
Xin Qiji was Zhuang Zhou's favorite poet, and this poem is full of passion and ambition.
It is most appropriate to give it to Cheng Yaojin.
