With the curious eyes of the teachers and classmates, Pang Zhonghua came to a corner of the podium and took out an accordion from the black box he brought with him.

Seeing that this famous calligrapher didn't talk about calligraphy at first, but walked to the front of the stage with an accordion, the students were all a little confused.

Hearing the buzzing sound from the audience, Director Li frowned slightly, took the microphone and said, "People, please keep quiet."

Hearing Director Li's words, the voice below suddenly became much less, but the curious expression in everyone's eyes became even stronger, and they were all staring at Pang Zhonghua who was posing in the playing stand.

After posing the piano, Pang Zhonghua said with a smile: "I will play a song for you below. I hope the students will listen carefully and have a good feeling."

The dynamic sound of the piano sounded, and it was a song "Spanish Bullfighter", an accordion song adapted from Bicai's famous opera "Carmen". It has a passionate and unrestrained rhythm, and is also highly skillful. It is a song that people in the school's accordion group like to practice the most. But it is obvious that Pang Zhonghua's plays much better than the "professional" people in the group. Not only are they skillful, but they also have a very tense rhythm. Each sentence is like a spring, which sounds very exciting.

The students below listened quietly, and many people showed surprise and admiration on their faces. It turned out that they only knew that Pang Zhonghua's calligraphy was very high, but they didn't expect that he had such a skill. This wonderful accordion performance made everyone very satisfied.

Lu Wei looked at Pang Zhonghua's performance. Although his posture was not standard, Lu Wei could see that Pang Zhonghua was very comfortable to play. Especially on the right hand on the keyboard, when playing fast linguins, if you follow the standard accordion tutorial, the hand shape can be said to be too powerful, but such a bad hand shape comfortably expresses the requirements marked on the score.

Pang Zhonghua's performance reminded Lu Wei of a question I often saw in a forum about piano techniques in his previous life: What kind of hand shape is the correct hand shape?

At that time, the answers to this question were varied. The answers given by those who supported the traditional school (or academic school or finger school) were like the general standards in textbooks, requiring each finger to bend outward, including the palm joint, and the first part was completely perpendicular to the keys, and the palms were hollow. To be able to "be able to hold an egg", this is probably the most common metaphor that Chinese piano students who study piano in China heard. However, those who support the modern school (or may be said to be the normal school or the power school) were disdainful of this statement. They proposed that the hand shape should maintain a small curvature, and the finger belly should be as close as possible to the keys to obtain warm and rich sound effects. Of course, there are other stranger statements. At that time, the discussion of this issue once became the most popular post on the forum.

At that time, there was a sentence from an unknown netizen that touched Lu Wei deeply. The netizen's answer was only one sentence: the most comfortable hand shape is the most correct hand shape.

At that time, I don’t know how many netizens laughed at this answer, saying that the reply was "piano idiot" and that there were also people who said that "water in their heads" were also recognized by many people. Lu Wei is one of them.

Lu Wei, in his previous life, had not received professional piano training, but was brought to the threshold of music with Teacher Li Deqian. Then, it was mainly based on his own self-study. His hand shape has always been a very troubled issue for Lu Wei. The more information he read, the less he knew which statement was correct. Until he read this answer, Lu Wei, a student who became a monk, had a great resonance in his heart. He tried to put aside the requirements for playing techniques in his mind when practicing. He just played in the way he thought it was the most comfortable. As a result, over time, his piano skills increased a lot. Many difficulties that had not been played before were solved one by one. At the same time, he also had a layer of his own understanding and cognition of the techniques required in the books. This gain made him overjoyed, and he was completely convinced by this statement.

Now, seeing Pang Zhonghua's performance, Lu Wei once again felt this way. Although his performance was irregular in shape and posture, seeing his performance made people feel no dissonance or awkwardness. From his own enjoyment expression, we can also see that this performance brought him great happiness, otherwise, the music flowing from his fingertips would not have such a light and smooth feeling.

After Pang Zhonghua finished playing the song "Spanish Bullfighter", the audience burst into warm applause. Although his performance is not as good as those professional accordion performers, don't forget that Pang Zhonghua is a calligrapher after all, and being able to contribute such a level of music is enough to make everyone applaud and applaud it.

After Pang Zhonghua finished playing, he carefully put the accordion back into the piano box, then returned to his seat, and made a "please be quiet" gesture to the students who were applauding with a smile.

When the applause below gradually subsided, Pang Zhonghua continued with a smile: "Thank you for your enthusiastic applause from your classmates. To be honest, my performance is not professional. I believe many students also have a question in their hearts, that is, why, a calligraphy man, plays an accordion."

Pang Zhonghua said this, paused for a moment, looked at everyone's expressions below, and indeed many people showed curious expressions. He continued:

"The reason I let everyone appreciate my half-baked performance is because I want to tell you through this performance that calligraphy and music are actually interconnected. When we learn to write, we all know that although calligraphy has many schools and types in terms of technique, it is always the same. The most important thing about calligraphy is nothing more than two aspects, one is the structure of the frame, and the other is the layout and planning. Of course, the basic strokes are basic skills and are something that every student must master."

The words Pang Zhonghua said made every student nodded deeply, and these two points were often said by their calligraphy teachers.

"Let's talk about the music just now. Think about it carefully. In fact, a piece of music also reflects these two elements. Each phrase is like a single word, with strong sounds, weak sounds, slow sounds, and urgent words. It's like when we write a word, we should pay attention to its structure, pay attention to the primary and secondary structure, strive to give way, pitch, etc." Pang Zhonghua spoke very slowly, while speaking, and also cooperated with gestures to make everyone understand what he meant.

"Then the whole paragraph, a complete piece of music, is like a completed calligraphy work. Every phrase of it is an integral part of the whole piece, and it must serve to express the thoughts and intentions of the whole piece. Therefore, in addition to their own elements, they also need to reflect their role in the whole piece. Some are slow, some are fast, some are strong, and some are weak. Through such a comparison, they are combined into a complete piece of music. This is the layout and planning!" Pang Zhonghua said with emphasis.

After hearing such an incisive explanation, the students below gave another warm applause.

Lu Wei also smiled and applauded. The reason Pang Zhonghua said was exactly the same as what he thought in his heart, and it also further confirmed his idea that not only calligraphy and painting have the same origin, but all art forms have similarities, just like whenever he practices calligraphy, some musical rhythms will always flow into his mind unconsciously.

"Let's take a look at the two words I brought. After reading them, I will find you to tell me what you feel in your heart." Pang Zhonghua said, picking up the two words on the table and holding them up.

As soon as we heard about calligraphy, everyone's spirit suddenly rose and they all stretched their heads to look forward.

Pang Zhonghua raised his hands with two works with the same content, "Night Mooring on the Maple Bridge" by Zhang Ji, a poet of the Tang Dynasty:

The moon sets, the crows cry, the frost is everywhere in the sky, and the river maple fishing fire faces the eyes of sadness.

At Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City, the bell rings at the passenger ship in the middle of the night.

This is a very famous ancient poem, which has a very artistic conception. Many calligraphy enthusiasts like to write this poem.

Although the two words raised by Pang Zhonghua are the same content, their differences are visible at a glance.

One is handwritten and the other is printed.

Everyone didn't understand why Pang Zhonghua took out these two characters, but everyone's eyes were attracted by the handwritten characters. The beautiful regular script has a rigorous and grand style, and is neat and stretched. Just by looking, you can feel the artistic beauty that is vividly revealed on the paper.

As for the printing style, although it is also beautiful regular characters, everyone is too lazy to read after just a few glances. Why, you can see it every day on books, billboards, and computers, and you can see it everywhere. What else is there to look good about it?
