There was a text before, the text is about a child painting lotus flowers, speaking of this, many people should guess who this child is, he is the famous painter Wang Mian of the Yuan Dynasty, Wang Mian is best at painting plum blossoms, but Wang Mian was very poor when he was a child, because he was poor, so there was no extra money to enter the school to study, then Wang Mian helped the family to herd cattle, and when he was about eight years old, there was a time when the cattle were just passing by the school, and when he heard the sound of reading in the school, Wang Mian was immediately envious. So I slipped under the window of the academy.
At that time, Wang Mian hid under the window to eavesdrop on Mr. Wang's lectures, as soon as he heard the school directly, then he kept recalling the content of Mr. Wang's lectures in his mind, this memory was fascinated, this obsession directly forgot the cattle, after returning home, he remembered that there was no morning glory, only to return to the morning glory, since listening to this class, Wang Mian fell deeply in love with reading, so he often ran to the bottom of the school window to listen to the lessons, as for the cattle, he put it outside the school to eat grass, sometimes the cow rope was not tied, the cattle ran to the fields of the villagers to cause destruction, At that time, the villagers would look for Wang Mian's father, and Wang Mian's father was very angry at that time, so he beat Wang Mian fiercely.
Just after being beaten, the crown is still like this, in the end his father saw no effect, had to be crowned by the king, not only that, but also squeezed out some money from the family to give the crown, let the crown go to buy some old books to read, the crown was excited at that time, with the money to buy books, after buying the book began to read with hunger and thirst, he did not let go of the time at night, but at night to read the book to point out the oil lamp, the lamp oil needs money, their family is already poor, so the crown then directly ran to the temple not far from home to read, because the temple will always be lit with oil lamps In this way, Wang Mian read for several years, because he was very serious, so his knowledge slowly accumulated and he became a little learned person.
At that time, there was an incident, it was a day after the rain, after seeing the rain stopped, the crown led his own cattle to prepare to put it, then he just passed by a lake, he tied the cattle there to graze, and he sat by the lake to enjoy the scenery, just then the sun came out, the sun after the rain was particularly bright, the lake reflected the sparkling, looking like the world in the painting, and there were some lotus flowers on the lake at that time, the lotus flowers also bloomed at that time, so the scenery looked more beautiful, the crown was intoxicated at that time, This intoxication thought of such a beautiful picture, if someone could paint it down, after thinking of this, Wang Mian thought again, can't he try to paint a picture, the next day Wang Mian asked someone to help buy some rouge and paintbrushes and the like.
After having these things, Wang Mian began to learn to paint, he was painting lotus flowers at that time, the initial painting was very general, but he did not give up, he worked harder to paint, this painting is more than three months, after more than three months of hard study, Wang Mian's painting level has been significantly improved, the painting of lotus flowers is very beautiful, just like the lotus flowers in reality, so the villagers were very fond of it at that time, many people also paid him to paint it, when Wang Mian studied hard to learn to paint things spread, There was an old gentleman in Shaoxing City who heard about this, and he was very touched by Wang Mian's diligent spirit, so he decided to accept Wang Mian as a disciple and teach Wang Mian to read, and Wang Mian was naturally very happy, after which Wang Mian began to study with this old gentleman.
This old gentleman is a highly learned person, their family collection is very much, Wang Mian then went to the old man's home to see so many books, immediately excited, and then began to obsessively read up, the old man saw such a studious Wang Mian in his heart is even more happy, so the professor Wang Mian knowledge is naturally more hard, Wang Mian was very serious at that time, when he was twenty years old, he almost read the books in the teacher's home, he was not only reading books on literature, books on all aspects of history and geography He would read, And I haven't left the painting down yet.
At that time, Wang Mian was the best at painting plum blossoms and bamboo, because the knowledge was relatively high, so learning to paint was naturally much easier than before, after all, there were more things to understand, with more and more books and paintings, Wang Mian's knowledge and painting skills were further improved, at that time, among the classmates, he was the highest in knowledge, and after the teacher died, the classmates also asked him for advice, simply treated him as a teacher, which showed how advanced Wang Mian's knowledge at that time was, when Wang Mian wanted to participate in the imperial examination, However, he participated in several times and was not admitted, and finally had to give up his career dream, and then concentrate on studying and painting, he was particularly fond of painting plum blossoms at that time, in order to paint plum blossoms in the residence planted thousands of plum trees, he was very careful to observe plum blossoms, so he knew plum blossoms very well, so the plum blossoms were naturally good, and later wrote a "plum score".
