The Growth System Comes at the Age of Thirty

Chapter 76 Engraving the Seal

The great thing about the book "The Logic of Politics" is that it is not only a political science work, but also a theoretical work on the study of Karl Marxism.

Moreover, it comprehensively and systematically demonstrates the political principles of Karl Marxism.

Considering the background of the times when the author wrote this book, it can be called a masterpiece in theoretical direction.

What is principle?

It is a theoretical expression that grasps the essence of things and phenomena.

People who are not interested in this aspect may start to get headaches if they look at it for a few more times. Even Chen Jingle is not much better.

Just a writing instruction requires him to read it word for word and pause here for a long time.

"No wonder netizens say that the recommendation index is five stars, and the difficulty is also five stars."

For this kind of purely theoretical literal thing, sometimes just by simply changing the order, or missing one word and adding one more, the meaning will be completely different.

It’s not the same thing as an online novel, so you have to confirm its meaning repeatedly.

The full text has a total of 532 pages. Even with the help of the system, it feels like it takes a long time to read.

Chen Jingle rubbed the center of his brow painfully, feeling uncomfortable with swelling.

Who said there is no threshold for liberal arts?

[The reading time after class is over. Let’s work hard today. The smart kid Chen Jingle is already doing great. Next comes sleep time. Adequate sleep can ensure the speed of body growth and development. 】

It wasn't until the system prompt sounded that Chen Jingle realized that the time had reached 10 o'clock.

More than two hours tonight were spent pondering the content of this book.

Even so, he couldn't finish it, and even only read a third of it.

The ideological and political content that most people have access to when they are students belongs to the easy-to-understand part of this book. You can imagine how difficult it is after advanced levels.

Chen Jingle let out a long sigh: "It's really the path I chose, and I have to finish it on my knees. If I hadn't been so bloated before and walked honestly and according to the rhythm, I wouldn't have suffered like this."

Of course, it is difficult but also rewarding.

As long as you can understand it, you can add a piece of territory to the construction of your own ideological system.

If you can understand it thoroughly, it will be even more powerful.

…

Put some water in and get ready for bed.

Lying on the bed, for some reason, the topic he had discussed with Liang Cheng suddenly came to Chen Jingle's mind.

"System, tell me, is there a way to directly bypass the love stage and enter marriage mode, with the person still being the type you like?"

[Does Chen Jingle’s child feel lonely? 】

"..., no, it's just an academic issue that I want to discuss with you."

[This is possible in theory, but not recommended in practice. A stable, long-term and happy marriage must be a two-way relationship and must go through strict screening. Love is an essential stage in life and a crucial process for both parties to understand each other's personalities, living habits, values, etc. These factors are related to the quality of life after marriage, so it is not recommended to bypass them directly. 】

"But aren't there many people from the older generation who only met once and then got married?"

[So their marriage relationship is abnormal and a special product of the times. Many people are not happy in their marriages, but do not choose to divorce due to various circumstances. 】

You really dare to say that.

But it seemed to be the case, at least that was the case for many people he observed.

In those days, divorce was a very shameful thing. Especially in rural areas.

"What do you think is the most important thing for two people to be together?"

[Everyone’s situation is different, and the answer is different. I can’t give an answer. 】

Chen Jingle blinked: "Then what do you think is the most important thing about my other half?"

This time, the system thinking took a little longer.

[It should be that the thoughts are on the same frequency. 】

Chen Jingle was quite surprised by this answer. If he thought about it carefully, it would indeed be his own style. He immediately shook his head and chuckled: "Why are you thinking so much? The boat will straighten up when it reaches the bridge. Go to sleep! By the way, I want to listen to "Grandma's Bridge", is that okay?"

【Okay. 】

Accompanied by the system's soft singing, Chen Jingle's originally messy thoughts due to study, feelings, etc. were gradually soothed and calmed down.

"It would be great if the system's singing could be played externally, so that I could open a hotel specifically for insomnia patients..."

With such strange thoughts, Chen Jingle's breathing quickly became steady.

【Good night】

…

When he woke up the next day, Chen Jingle went to the Normal College for running and exercise as usual.

The three-day Mid-Autumn Festival holiday has passed by in a flash, and students have started classes today. It is obvious that the flow of people is returning. Some of them probably came back from the overnight train and were dragging their heavy suitcases around the campus in the early morning.

As a passerby, Chen Jingle expressed his familiarity with this scene and expressed his feelings about how good it is to be young.

In addition to the normal class content today, I also need to do some business.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

Find someone to help you carve a seal.

Among traditional arts, calligraphy, painting and seal carving are indistinguishable. Usually, a calligraphy and painting work must not be stamped except for the main body and signature.

Wu Changshuo, one of the four masters of the Shanghai School in the late Qing Dynasty, once said: "Calligraphy, painting, and seal cutting are all made in one furnace."

Within a square inch, the knife moves like a dragon.

If there is a chance in the future, Chen Jingle may learn about seal cutting, but not now.

There are too many things to learn now, and I can’t wait to queue up for seal carving. Let’s find someone else to carve one first and make do with it.

The seals are mainly divided into name seals and casual seals.

The name stamp is easy to understand, while the leisure stamp includes the first stamp, the side stamp, the corner stamp and the waist stamp. Each type is further subdivided according to its content. The details are too complicated, so I will not go into details one by one.

Personal works, except for name stamps, are basically free stamps.

Then there is the appreciation stamp, which is used by appreciative collectors.

The most famous person in this field is probably a certain old man named Shiquan. He would like to stamp all the famous paintings and posters with his seal of appreciation. As a result, some famous works have a lot of discounts because of his seal.

After briefly cleaning the house, Chen Jingle went out again, and finally found a seal-engraved shop in an old street.

After glancing at the store, it was obvious that it was built in the middle of the last century. The plaster on the exterior wall had been peeled off and repainted several times. The interior was slightly dark and almost in danger of becoming a dilapidated building.

"Hello, please help me engrave a seal."

The boss is an old man with thinning hair and wearing reading glasses. He must be in his sixties.

"What kind of carving do you want?"

"The name stamp of Qingtian stone is enough, in small seal script and white text."

There are many stones suitable for carving seals. As one of the four major seal stones in China, Qingtian stone has a warm texture, colorful colors, unique patterns, moderate hardness, and most importantly, is affordable and can meet the needs of ordinary calligraphy enthusiasts.

The boss quoted: "30 yuan, get ink pad and tassels. Write your name."

"Okay." Chen Jingle chose to scan the code and wrote his name on the white paper on the table next to him.

Don't take the seal too seriously.

In addition to some works by famous artists, the value of seals is more reflected in the stone material, such as chicken blood stone, field yellow stone, etc.

Chen Jingle was not interested in stones, as long as they were pieces.

If he hadn't thought that the carrot seal couldn't be kept for a long time and carried with him, he would have even wanted to carve it himself.

Originally, I just practiced calligraphy out of interest. Someone happened to like his work, so he was willing to stamp it to prove that it was written by him. Otherwise, it was just for fun.
