The students in the classroom were all dumbstruck: "What book? Never heard of it."
Jing Zhichen pondered for a moment and then said, "Ancient Seal Script is a noble form of calligraphy, and what remains are mostly the relics of predecessors; it's hard to find successors nowadays. But I've seen this script at the Imperial Museum — it's very classical and elegant. Being able to write this way is akin to being a master of national studies or a master painter."
Ao Xinghao proudly said from the back row, "That's right, calligraphy and painting are tied together — Ancient Seal Script is both writing and painting. You could call it calligraphy, and besides, a turtle is a tortoise, perfectly meeting the exam requirements."
Chu Junmo said simply, "This tortoise is well-written! I'd say it's worth full marks!"
