Bai Qichang gently lifted his robe, knelt on the ground with both knees, and kowtowed three times with caution and seriousness: "The disciple Bai Qichang, a native of the Runing Mansion, was seventeen years old, and kowtowed to the master."

Wen Zhengming turned to Bai Qichang but did not receive his gift. Instead, with Chen Chun's support, he sat steadily on the ring chair.

Bai Qichang lowered his head, his face slightly pale, but in just a moment, he smiled and raised his head, facing Wen Zhengming in a kneeling posture.

He straightened his upper body, with a gentle and humble face, bowed with a smile, and said, "Submit Bai Qichang, I have met Master."

Wen Zhengming smiled when he stroked his beard and turned to look at Chen Chun, saying, "You are my disciple, this kid..." He pointed at Bai Qichang and continued, "It's your introductory disciple, it's not that easy. But if I want to recognize this disciple, hahahaha, it's not that easy."

Chen Chun's expression was a little embarrassed. In the past, in front of outsiders, he was a respected Baiyang Mountain native and a great contemporary calligrapher and painter. He had hundreds of disciples under his sleeves who had been guided by him. If any academy is fortunate to invite Mr. Baiyang to give lectures, it must be often full and attract people to follow him.

But at this moment, in front of Wen Zhengming, he was low and small, dared not be angry or speak out, and could only look at Wen Zhengming with a little aggrieved look.

Just imagine, a sixty-year-old man was depressed and aggrieved in front of a seventy-three-year-old man. This scene is indescribable.

Wen Zhengming paused, looked up at Chen Chun, and smiled and said, "What are you restricted?"

Chen Chun pursed his lips and bowed, "Mr., don't joke."

Wen Zhengming smiled softly and said, "Okay!" Instead, he said to Bai Qichang: "Your master is so pitiful, it's not difficult for you. You paint a piece in the hall. If I satisfy me, I will recognize you as my disciple."

Chen Chun looked puzzled and said, "Although this boy is smart, he has only been learning painting from me for a year."

Wen Zhengming said: "You retreat."

When Chen Chun heard this, he no longer dared to speak, so he could only be anxious for Bai Qichang.

Bai Qichang still knelt on the spot and bowed, "Mr. Wen, I know that I am stupid, but I still have some hard work. I am willing to give me a chance. I am grateful in my heart. Please give me a question."

Wen Zhengming nodded and said, "Yeah!" He turned his eyes to Chen Chun, pointed at Bai Qichang, and said, "This kid is so happy, hahahaha." He turned his head and said, "Draw...me."

Chen Chun was anxious. Not to mention painting portraits, it was painting landscapes that Bai Qichang was good at. If you want Wen Zhengming to be satisfied...

In comparison, Chen Chun died eight years ago and ran out of the cemetery again, which is more likely to be achieved.

Chen Chun is so worried...

Before Wen Zhengming finished speaking, he smiled and continued, "If you draw me, you must draw me as majestic as a god, just like a god. You can draw it, haha."

When Bai Qichang heard this, he felt cold sweat. What kind of question is Mr. Wen called him? It was obviously a embarrassment to him.

This figure painting is generally divided into Taoist paintings, ladies' paintings, portrait paintings, customs paintings, historical paintings, etc.

Character painting strives to portray the characters' personalities in a realistic and vivid way, with both spirit and form. The method of expressing the characters often embodies the expression of the characters' personality in the rendering of the environment, atmosphere, figure and dynamics.

Therefore, in the theory of the times, figure paintings were also called "transmitting the spirit".

Bai Qichang bowed and said, "Mr. Hengshan, this figure painting must be written with form and spirit, both form and spirit. Grasp the eyes, gestures, postures and important details that are conducive to the transmission of spirit, emphasize the distinction between the primary and secondary, and have details on facial gestures that convey emotions and the clothes and the clothes, and the activities of the characters and their echoes and the environment. If you cannot convey the spirit, how can this figure painting be considered a good painting? Mr. Hengshan shines brightly and has a strong temperament. Why not let the younger generation paint it in a realistic way?"

Chen Chun's respect for Wen Zhengming was another emotion derived from the heart, protruding himself from the ground, and the reverence was fear.

Seeing Bai Qichang contradict Wen Zhengming today, he couldn't help but shout: "Qichang! Arrogant!" Instead, he spoke for the local disciple and said: "Who is sir? Can you still not know these simple truths? Is it your turn to interfere here?"

The meaning of the second half is: Master, stop bullying my apprentice.

Wen Zhengming looked up at Chen Chun, but this time his eyes were very soft. He turned to smile and said, "Okay." As he said that, he raised his hand and said, "Brush and ink serve Mr. Bai to paint."

Bai Qichang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. His bold words made him pass the first level.

Chen Chun finally felt relieved. His mentor was testing Qi Chang's character and courage, so he was too worried.

Without further ado, the servants of Wenfu had prepared the tools for painting. Bai Qichang stood in front of the desk, first observing Wen Zhengming, and then calmed down and picked up his pen to paint.

Wen Zhengming looked at Bai Qichang's fingers and wrists, which was very suitable for his heart, and secretly praised him, "What a smart boy!"

After Bai Qichang finished writing this painting, it took about half an hour to finish it. Bai Qichang blew the ink marks, raised his hand and picked up the painting, and wanted to step forward to watch it for Wen Zhengming.

Wen Zhongming waved his hand and said, "Put it down."

Bai Qichang put down his paintings, and Wen Zhengming continued, "Come on."

Bai Qichang walked up to his sleeves, his expression calmly.

Wen Zhengming liked this boy more and more, and then said, "Kowtow!"

Chen Chun was stunned when he heard this, and then a smile appeared on his face. When he looked at Bai Qichang, his expression did not change at all. Everything was as expected.

He lifted his robe, knelt on both knees, bowed and said, "Master is here, please bow to his disciple Sun Qichang!" As he said that, he touched the ground with his head and said three times, "bang bang" and knocked three times.

Chen Chun finally breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly: "Mr., can you give the word "Qi Chang"?"

"The Commentary" says: "It is the first time to be born in three months, so it is said that the young name is young. There is a way to be a father at the age of twenty. Friends and other categories cannot call their names again, so they add characters." The meaning of this sentence is that a man is born in three months, so he is called the young name. When he is twenty, his friend cannot call his name directly, so he takes a "character".

"Yi Li Shi Guan Li": "The word "Crown" is respectful to the name. The king and father used to call it a name before, and others called it a character." From this, it can be seen that the name was obtained when he was young. A man who grew up at the age of 20, he would hold a ceremony and take the character to mark his adulthood and enter society.

The person who takes the character for this person must be given by his elders, usually by his father or teacher, but the character given by different identities and statuses has different meanings.

For Bai Qichang, a social status like Wen Zhengming, especially his status in the Shilin, the words he gave him were a business card that shone with golden light everywhere he went!
