Chapter 880: Xia Script!
Meng Songbai felt some disdain in his heart; an actor, pursuing quick success, what kind of calligraphy could he possibly write?
In his view, calligraphy requires a peaceful state of mind to write with soul, while the entertainment industry is too restless, where no one can calm down to delve into calligraphy.
Inwardly, he was very reluctant to watch.
However, since Yin Mulan had already said so, not to take a look seemed too disrespectful.
So he said with a hint of detachment, "Then let’s take a look."
The tone was clearly unwilling to watch.
Yin Mulan calmly handed over the phone, Meng Songbai, resisting from the heart, showed some aversion in his attitude.
Yet, when he saw the scene in the video, his glasses fell off!
He hurried to adjust his glasses, staring with his presbyopic eyes at the live video.
The pen danced like a dragon and snake, smooth and flowing.
The writing flew like a dragon and phoenix, strong strokes of iron and silver hooks.
As the smooth wrist moved, the words leapt onto the paper.
Her calligraphy didn’t have the grand and majestic air typical of men, rather it was graceful and agile, yet not lacking in charm and elegance.
Delicate and fresh, intricately rounded.
Each stroke was outlined exquisitely, with the clouds forming on paper, vividly changing, fascinating, with silver hooks and jade trails, vigorous and strong.
This is...
This is...
Meng Songbai suddenly became excited, his hands trembled slightly, filled with wrinkles of age.
"Xia Script! This is Xia Script!"
The characters written by the woman in the video were precisely the Xia Script he had spent countless efforts studying, yet never achieved!
"What?!"
Others also were shocked, Xia Script?
How could it be possible!
In the history of our country, many famous calligraphers have left excellent scripts.
Yan Jin and Liu Gu are amongst the best representatives.
There’s also a script with deep achievements, but it has been lost, many people now don’t know this script.
That is the Royal Family’s exclusive script from a thousand years ago, abbreviated as Xia Script!
Xia Script is highly varied, its methods mysterious, its strokes complex, very difficult to master, yet when written it’s very beautiful.
The best at writing it were Emperor Xia Liang of the Great Xia Kingdom and Empress Bao.
Unfortunately, the Royal Family’s precious scripts didn’t leave behind any records.
Only some leftover imperial edicts and the Buddhist scriptures hand-copied by Empress Bao can offer a glimpse.
Thus, now no one knows this script either.
Meng Songbai was thrilled to the point of feeling his blood was flowing backwards.
In his youth, he had inadvertently seen records about this script, later in a collector’s room, he saw a page of Buddhist scriptures transcribed by Empress Bao.
At that time, he spent a fortune and exhaustively pleaded to buy that single page from the collector.
Dedication in research for over twenty years!
Unfortunately, as time passed, the Buddhist scriptures had long since blurred.
A thousand years have passed, no matter how special the material, traces of erosion were evident, and the limited number of characters made thorough research impossible.
Now, the words Xia Weibao wrote were exactly identical to those on that page of Buddhist scriptures!
After the initial shock, everyone was somewhat doubtful, was it really Xia Script?
Xia Script had not spread widely, they did not know of this script before.
Their understanding of Xia Script was very minimal, all because of Meng Songbai’s obsession and dedication, they had heard a little about it.
In reality, no one had seen it, although Meng Songbai researched it, he couldn’t write it.
Yet an artist from the entertainment industry can write the Xia Script that Master Meng has studied for over twenty years without figuring out?
