"How is this different?"
"There is almost no difference between what is described above and the copybook in my hand."
"If, based on a sentence like this, you can judge that this calligraphy is fake, then it would be a bit too hasty."
Mr. Wang smiled and said disdainfully.
He didn't want to delve into whether what Lin Han said made sense or not, but it was a bit ridiculous to think that this alone could prove that the "Jin Wang Xizhi Youmu Tie" in his hand was fake.
It is not convincing to use historical descriptions to judge the authenticity of a piece of calligraphy.
In addition, there are always discrepancies in historical statements, and the views of ancient people and modern people are not the same.
Perhaps there is some discrepancy here, which is not impossible. Without a definite judgment, it would be a bit hasty to say that the calligraphy in his hand is fake.
"This is how the historical description of the Jin Wang Xizhi Youmu Tie was originally written."
"If the words of the ancients cannot be used as a basis, then it is a bit unreasonable."
Lin Han stared at Mr. Wang and said.
"But judging by this statement alone, it is not convincing enough."
Mr. Wang disagreed with Lin Han's statement.
"Wang Xizhi's Youmu Tie has three major elements. The first element is the Qi axis."
"Compared with the block-printed version, the characters and line axes of Youmu Tie make the movement lines of the block-printed version more stable and straight."
"Comparing the five characters in the eighth line, 动理耳要欲, the right radical "里" of the character "理" in the engraved version has tilted to the lower left."
"The last stroke of the character '耳' continues to move to the lower left, so the character '要' also leans to the left, and the character '欲' leans to the right, and the axis of the line tends to curve."
"The copy of Youmu Tie begins with the character 'Li', which is written almost vertically."
"The richness of Wang Xizhi's writing rhythm of 'turning left to right' is reduced, just as Wang Xizhi said in "On Calligraphy" (Biography): "If the pen is straight and quickly pulled back, it may look like calligraphy at first glance, but it will lose its flavor after a long time."
"If we look at it from the perspective of the first element, the Qi axis, this Youmu Tie does not fit the explanation of the Qi axis at all."
“Not only did they fail to imitate the essence, they also failed to embody the momentum of the Qi axis.”
"If a piece of calligraphy by Wang Xizhi cannot even reflect the momentum it should have, then how can it be called a piece of calligraphy by Wang Xizhi?"
"You know, the most important thing about Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is momentum, which can also determine the direction of the strokes of a piece of calligraphy."
Lin Han cited one of the key points and said it out.
After Lin Han said this, everyone was speechless, and it seemed that they felt that what Lin Han said made some sense.
However, for most of them, they were not clear about what Lin Han meant by the Qi circulation axis.
But for Mr. Wang, this sentence was as clear as enlightenment.
"Oh? How could I not see the existence of this Qi axis you mentioned?"
"In this copybook, each character clearly has a running axis. How come it seems like there is no stroke at all in your mouth?"
"That's right. Our President Wang has studied Wang Xizhi's calligraphy for so many years. Could it be that he doesn't understand this?"
"Is it your turn to comment? This is simply nonsense."
"You didn't just come up with these things to fool us, did you?"
"If it's really like what you said, Mr. Wang would have seen it long ago. Why would you need to talk about it here?"
Although the people around did not understand what Lin Han said, they knew that what they needed to do today was to protect President Wang.
As long as we can curry favor with Mr. Wang, perhaps everything that happens next will be easier.
They really didn't understand Wang Xizhi's calligraphy very well, and they didn't know what the difference was between what Lin Han said and the calligraphy in Mr. Wang's hand.
It can even be said that they came to this social gathering for fame and fortune.
If you ask them if they know anything about these things, then they really don't know much.
However, they knew that President Wang must know more about all of this than any of them.
Since Mr. Wang knows these things so well, it is impossible for him to be wrong. But now he is being talked about by a young boy. Naturally, they would not think that what Lin Han said makes sense.
"If you don't understand, let me talk about the second factor."
Lin Han looked at Mr. Wang in silence and continued speaking.
"The relationship between the opening and closing density of the characters in the handwritten version is not as great as that in the engraved version."
"Take the three characters 'Zuo Taichong' in the second line as an example. The engraved version of 'Shu Du Tie' has an open and a closed part. The character 'Zuo' is written in one stroke, and the first horizontal stroke does not rise up."
"It has the style of official script, with the last stroke pointing downward to the right, and the white space in the lower left and upper right is wide open; the lower part of the character "太" is open, and the last stroke is written as a long straight dot, and the sweeping stroke is also almost a straight line, strong and steep."
"It also increases the openness of the character. The character 'chong' opens on the left and closes inwards. The left radical is written in a straight line, while the right radical is written in a circular line, which is both hard and soft."
"But in the handwritten version, the three characters 'Zuo Taichong' are stable, the character 'Zuo' is close to the cursive script, and the opening and closing relationship has also changed."
"Every word and every stroke is written in a rounded manner, and the writing style becomes restrained and introverted. There is no longer the sharp triangular momentum between the main strokes of the inscription, which weakens the rhythm of the inscription's escapement and tension."
"Boss Wang, I think what I have said now is clear enough, right?"
Lin Han did not continue to argue with those people around him who did not understand.
Instead, he directly asked questions to Mr. Wang. Lin Han could also see that among all the people present, Mr. Wang was the only one in charge.
If Mr. Wang cannot be convinced, then those lackeys around him will always have excuses.
As long as Mr. Wang believed what Lin Han said, no matter how much those people flattered him, it would not matter to Lin Han.
Because, as long as Mr. Wang bows his head, it means that what Lin Han said is right.
However, it is quite difficult to make Mr. Wang bow his head.
Lin Han pointed out every error in the "Youmu Tie" by Wang Xizhi of the Jin Dynasty in Mr. Wang's hand.
By the way, I gave detailed explanations for those errors.
Since Mr. Wang has a deep understanding of Wang Xizhi, he must know what Lin Han meant by what he said.
If Mr. Wang continues to refuse to admit it, of course, this does not mean that Lin Han has no other options.
"Oh? Young man, you have a very deep understanding of Wang Xizhi."
"It's just that the two factors you mentioned do make some sense."
"But I think that the 'Youmu Tie' by Wang Xizhi of the Jin Dynasty in my hand embodies all the elements you mentioned."
"Although there are some flaws, a calligraphy piece is bound to have some flaws, isn't it?"
