Making a zither is a craft.

Mu Zhengyang had specially bought a copy of "Lu Ban Jing" to deduce the operation skills of carpenters and also studied Cai Yong's "Qin Cao".

However, although the tools for making zithers are the same as those of carpenters, there are huge differences in professional skills.

Mu Zhengyang spent two months walking in Tiannan Mountain before picking up an old pine tree suitable for making pianos. He still wanted to prepare well before starting, so he read "Qinyuan Yaolu" again.

"The zither is used as a utensil, and is in harmony with the harmony of heaven and earth, so it is not something that ordinary wood can achieve. Therefore, it must be recorded that the lonely tung tree in Yiyang, and Cai Yong must take the tung tree in Huanzhong. From this perspective, the material must be selected for a long time. After the ancient times, the tung tree in Yishan was not able to be achieved by the world. Therefore, the masters and masters held the selection of the extraordinary tung tree in Huanzhong..."

It records all aspects of material selection, production methods, appreciation, sound defense, etc.

A skillful woman can't cook without rice. The material determines the upper limit of a zither. In "Qinyuan Yaolu", the material of the zither is divided into three grades.

One is called "Zuo Ling", which is yellow and white at the same time, half purple and half red at the same time, and obtains the three true colors of nature. The willows are thin and organized, soft and heavy, and firm but not strong.

The second is the best, the color is pure yellow and pure white, the willow pattern is fine but not chaotic, although it is hard but not stubborn, and light but not empty.

The third is the doctrine of the mean. Both are made of the lines and willows, the texture is firm but not hard, the soft but the armor is difficult to enter, the skin is thin and the bones are numerous. The nature of the willows is uneven, and the sound and rhyme are beautiful or evil, and the lines and willows are tight or slow. If the lines are soft and hard, the strings are solid and the edges are empty. If the armor is difficult to enter, it should not be gray painted; if the lines seem hard but soft, it should not be white. If the lines are tight, it should be quick to get people up, and it will be evil for a long time. If the lines are slow, it will be in a state of no mood and warm for a long time.

The withered old pine trees that Mu Zhengyang picked up were dark yellow, with densely covered with rings of annual rings, which could barely be considered an excellent material.

afternoon.

Lu Yuanxing led Gao Miaomiao and others to appear outside the academy.

Mu Zhengyang held a file in his forehand and was digging the wood. When he saw Lu Yuanxing and others coming, he looked up and smiled, "Sit as you like!"

Lu Yuanxing asked in confusion: "Mr. Mu, you are..."

"I'm bored and I'll make a few guqins to play with." Mu Zhengyang replied lightly.

"Making a zither? Just forget about calligraphy and painting, but even the unpopular guqin is involved!"

Lu Yuanxing was completely numb. He had already experienced Mu Zhengyang's extremely high attainments in calligraphy and painting, and he actually saw Mu Zhengyang making a zither again.

"This is the rhythm of being proficient in both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Are there such people in modern society?"

Gao Miaomiao, Chen Zhihui, Lin Jiao and others were also extremely surprised, with little stars emerging in their eyes.

"This man is so evil, I can't compare, I can't compare!" Lu Yuanxing shook his head. He had been staying in Tiannan Mountain for three days and was here to say goodbye to Mu Zhengyang. He thought that he had promised to send Mu Zhengyang a painting as a reward. However, in all the paintings he had painted over the past few days, there was no painting comparable to the paintings he painted that day. He said with a blushing face: "Thanks to Mr. Mu's reception for these three days, I originally said to give Mr. Mu a painting to Mr. Mu, but when I saw Mr. Mu's painting that day, I took out my own paintings and showed off my skills! I really couldn't repay you. Please come to the Art Academy for the occasion when you have time. I will definitely entertain Mr. Mu!"

"It's okay! I'm having friends coming from afar, I'm having fun! I'm also very happy to share Chinese painting skills with Teacher Lu these days, and I'll have a chance to meet in the future!"

"Uh-huh!"

Gao Miaomiao, Chen Zhihui, Lin Jiao and others also expressed their gratitude.

Lu Yuanxing stayed in the academy for a while, then took Gao Miaomiao, Chen Zhihui, Lin Jiao and others down the mountain. When he reached the middle of the mountain, he turned around and stared at the hazy top of the mountain. He made a secret decision in his heart to go back to learn and practice hard, and strive to surpass Mu Zhengyang as soon as possible.

Mu Zhengyang left Zhao Shiran in the academy. He used to teach Zhao Shiran's calligraphy, but now he has begun to deduce the "Qian Kun Haoran Qi-raising Art". In the future, if Zhao Shiran wants to learn this Qi-raising method, he must have a deep foundation in Chinese studies. He requires Zhao Shiran to start with "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names", "Thousand Character Classic", "Young Learning Qionglin", etc.

"Ah? Reading "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names", "Thousand Character Classic"? Is it still useful to read these books now?" Zhao Shiran asked blankly.

"Of course it's useful. One day in the future you will understand! After all, this world has become different!"

Mu Zhengyang's eyes were deep, and he sighed in the distance.

"Oh, OK, teacher!"

Zhao Shiran did not understand the meaning of Mu Zhengyang's words, but unconditionally accepted the seemingly absurd homework assigned by Mu Zhengyang.

After Mu Zhengyang and Zhao Shiran went down the mountain, they also arranged similar homework for Mu Erya and Wu Dabao.

Wu Dabao was mysterious on the phone and said that there was something very important to tell Mu Zhengyang.

the next day.

Lu Yuanxing and others left. Wu Dabao came to Nanshan Academy early in the morning. His arms were as thick as ordinary people's thighs, and his waist was only able to be surrounded by two people.

After Wu Dabao joined Nanshan Academy, Mu Zhengyang taught him health care exercises, but Wu Dabao spent most of his time in the county, so Mu Zhengyang asked him to learn from Mu Erya first.

Health exercises can adjust the human body to its best state. Liu Lihua and Mu Erya quickly lost weight after practicing health exercises, but Wu Dabao is a little fatter than before.

Mu Zhengyang asked strangely: "You haven't learned to be healthy from my sister?"

"I learned it! I don't know what happened. I've gained weight now! But my physical fitness has indeed improved a lot, and it's okay to climb up in one breath! Do you think I've been practicing wrongly, or have become obsessed with the legend?"

Wu Dabao was worried, and his fat facial features were squeezed together.

Mu Zhengyang asked: "What other changes are your body besides gaining weight?"

"Uh, the appetite has increased... I have to eat meat every meal!"

"I mean the changes in your body!"

"I may have osteoporosis, and when my whole body is tight, it will make a sound." Wu Dabao's fat face showed a sad expression.

"When your whole body is tight, it makes a sound?"

"Yes! Listen!"

The muscles and bones are buzzing!

The first level of body care exercise is to nourish muscles, bones, skin and flesh. When the first level reaches perfection, the muscles and bones of the body will suddenly become buzzing.

"According to the progress of my sister, it should be a month before she can reach the level of buzzing muscles and bones. She hasn't told her that she suddenly reached the level of perfection for the first time of caregiving. I didn't expect that this guy would actually reach the level of buzzing muscles and bones. Could it be that his physique is a bit special?"

The buzzing sound that Mu Zhengyang made at the beginning was like the sound of a bow string being pulled open, while Wu Dabao was like the sound of a drum being beaten.
