Chapter 19, Practicing Chinese Characters
Xiahetun, Liu Jin's family, and Liu Jin's room.
Liu Jin held a brush in his hand and copied it very carefully and carefully in front of a copybook. He wrote beautiful calligraphy with a brush. This is the first task the system gave him and the only task at present.
Whether it is for the points rewarded for the task, or to be worthy of his identity as a scholar, or to be able to become a good person in ancient times in the future, Liu Jin also felt that it was necessary to practice calligraphy.
Writing a brush is different from the hard pen calligraphy of later generations. The hard pen used in later generations is easy to use and easy to write, but the brush is different. It is difficult to use and is not convenient to write. If you want to write a good brush calligraphy, it requires a long time to practice and also requires mastering methods and skills.
Liu Jin, later generations, had never learned calligraphy by brush at all, and had no experience in this area. He just knew the posture of holding the brush when he first started learning to practice calligraphy, but this was far from enough.
"Fortunately, this body still retains its original memory, otherwise it would be really difficult to earn points."
Liu Jin copied it very seriously. Practicing calligraphy requires patience and care, and more importantly, he must be calm.
Since he pulled Zhao Heishan's family to his own pirate ship, Liu Jin has enough time to calm down and practice calligraphy well, and learn the Four Books and Five Classics.
Because it is a soul-piercing, there are a lot of memories of the original owner in his mind. The original owner is very serious about reading. He has long memorized things like the Four Books and Five Classics. He even read a lot of various books explaining these books and memorized a lot. He was young and had already obtained the title of scholar at the age of seventeen. He is also a popular candidate for the autumn high school next year.
Writing is naturally one of the original owner's strengths. Liu Jin has read some of the books left behind. The original owner's handwriting is very good. If it is later, it is definitely at the level of masters. Of course, some calligraphy masters are not worthy of praise.
However, in ancient times, because scholars wrote with brush words every day, basically any scholar could write beautiful brush words. After all, they wrote and practiced every day.
With the original owner's memory, when practicing calligraphy, Liu Jin was like a fish in water and made rapid progress.
I wrote it very ugly at the beginning, but it quickly got better and it was written in a very good manner.
"I think this word is already good. Why is the system still not showing that the task has been completed? Is the requirements a little high? If I have to reach the level of Wang Xizhi and Zhang Xu, I guess I will never have hope of completing the task in my life."
Liu Jin carefully appreciated the letter he had just copied and thought it was pretty good, but the system did not show that the task had been completed, obviously not meeting the system's requirements.
"It seems that we still have to go to Teacher Sun for more advice."
Putting down the brush in his hand, Liu Jin rubbed his palm hard. It was already October, and the weather was getting colder and colder. Liu Jin estimated that the temperature now had dropped to more than ten degrees below minus ten degrees.
In this cold weather, practicing calligraphy is also a test. In just over a dozen minutes, Liu Jin felt that his fingers were going to freeze and rub them from time to time. If there was not a pot of charcoal fire next to him, Liu Jin would have to hide in the quilt.
Too cold ~
You should know that this is not later generations. There is no heating, no various advanced heating equipment and technologies. All you can rely on is charcoal fire and cotton coats you wear.
"Fortunately, I got the snow salt out in front, made some money, bought warm clothes, could afford charcoal, and repaired the house. Otherwise, it would be hard to imagine how to spend this winter."
Liu Jin looked out the window. The sky was dim and there was a heavy feeling of depression. The north wind was howling, and the cold wind was shaking, making people unable to help but tremble.
"It's going to snow heavily, and I don't know how many people are going to be frozen to death by the heavy snow."
Looking at the scenery outside the window, Liu Jin knew that this was the scene before heavy snow. The Little Ice Age had arrived, and the severe cold was raging on the earth. Winter was harder than ever before.
It is not the most terrifying time of the Little Ice Age, but Liu Jin can still feel its terror. When he just came here, it was Mid-Autumn Festival, but the weather was already very cold, with freezing and frost. In October, it was getting colder and colder.
Soon, snowflakes floated outside the window. At first, there were only a little bit of small rice snow. When it fell on the tiles, a rustling sound sounded. But soon, the small rice snow gradually turned into heavy snow, falling down one after another, and the vision suddenly became blurred, and in a blink of an eye it turned into a vast white area, and the earth was soon covered with snow.
“So cold ~”
Liu Jin closed the window, and the originally dilapidated window had just been covered with new window paper. Once the window was closed, the cold wind outside could not blow in.
The charcoal fire in the room was very strong, making this small room very warm. When you pick up a book, Liu Jin looked delicious.
In this era when there are no entertainment projects, it seems that in this winter, it is only possible to read books and chat to pass the time in addition to creating people.
As a scholar, Liu Jin naturally could only read books and pass the time and consolidate the memories in his mind. He would also participate in the autumn examination next year. Whether he won or not, he would at least have to participate. At that time, he would always write something, not too ugly.
"Jin'er, it's time to eat."
Liu Jin, who was immersed in reading, time passed quickly, and Wang's voice also came from outside.
"Okay, I'll come now."
Putting down the book in his hand, stretching his body bones, Liu Jin walked out of his small room.
Liu Jin's home is considered a luxury house in Xiahetun. It is a two-entry yard. The so-called one-entry, two-entry, and three-entry. Simply put, the overall house looks like the word "mou", "ri" and "mu". Generally, ancient wealthy families had three-entry yards.
The first entry is the door and the second entry is the hall, and the third entry or the back entry is the private room or the boudoir. It is the activity space for women or relatives. Most people are not allowed to enter at will.
Liu Jin's house is a two-in-one yard. The front yard has been raised and the courtyard wall has been changed to the site for the first step of refining snow salt, and the back yard is the site for the second step of refining snow salt.
