Original text: "Yi" says: "Observe the astronomy to observe the changes of time; observe the humanities to transform the world." Kuang's book is wonderful, and it can be taken from all bodies. If the order is not used thoroughly, it will still be a waste of work in the secret; but in the midst of waves, it has been dredged on the spiritual platform. You must be able to understand the feelings of pointillism, study the principles from beginning to end, make insect seals, and use Tao to write cursive scripts. If the five materials of the body are used together, the appearance will not be perfect; if the eight tones are repeated one after another, the feeling will be confused.
If several paintings are applied together, their shapes will be different; all the points will be arranged in line, forming a body that is consistent with each other. One point becomes one word, and one word is the final word. Violate but not violate, be harmonious but different; stay late but not stay late, send away the disease that is not permanent; bring dryness and moistness, and will be thick and dry; lose the rules in the square and circle, escape the straightness of the hook and rope; appear sometimes and obscure, if walking, if hiding; poor The abnormality is at the end of the hair, and the mood is on the paper; the hands are always attentive, and the regular rules are forgotten; I can memorize Xi's offerings without missing a beat, and defy the rules and regulations but still work hard. For example, Fu Jiangshu and Qingqin are unique and beautiful; Sui Dynasty pearls and bis are different but equally beautiful.
Why bother to carve a crane or a dragon, which makes you feel ashamed of your real body? When you get a fish or a rabbit, you still stingy with the hooves.
Translation: "The Book of Changes" says: "Observing astronomy can detect the changes in the natural time sequence; understanding various scenes of human society can be used to educate and govern the world." What's more, the beauty of calligraphy is often derived from methods To the person himself. If the brushwork is not used carefully and the secrets are not mastered, it is necessary to go through repeated practice, discover and accumulate experience, and activate the mind and thoughts to direct the pen in hand. To learn calligraphy, one must know how to make dots reflect the mood, comprehensively study the principles of starting and ending the brush, integrate the wonders of insect script and seal script, and condense the charm of cursive script and official script. When you realize that using five materials to make utensils, the shapes created will naturally be different; like composing music with eight notes, you will feel endless pleasure when playing it.
If multiple strokes are placed together, their shapes should be different; if several points are arranged together, their postures should also be different. The first point at the beginning sets the standard for the whole word, and the first word at the beginning sets the standard for the whole width. The strokes are stretched but not infringing on each other, and the structures are harmonious but not completely consistent with each other; the strokes do not feel sluggish when left, and the strokes do not slip at a slippery speed; there is moisture in the middle of the dry brush, and dullness in the thick ink; not following the rule can make the square circle Moderate, abandon the use of hooks and ropes to make the curves and lines appropriate; make the edge suddenly exposed and sometimes hidden, move the hair smoothly and stop at the same time, maximize the changes in the shape of the font on the tip of the pen, and integrate the author's feelings and emotions on the paper; the heart and hand correspond to each other, without restraint . In this way, it is natural to deviate from the rules of Xi Zhi and Xian Zhi without making mistakes, and to violate the rules of Zhong Yao and Zhang Zhi without making mistakes. Just like the two women Jiangshu and Qingqin, although their appearances are different, they are both very beautiful; the two treasures, the Sui Marquis' Pearl and the Heshi's Bi, although different in shape and quality, are both extremely precious.
Why carve cranes and depict dragons, which will make the natural body greatly inferior; when you have caught fish and hunted rabbits, why should you be stingy with the catching equipment?
