Interpretation: The first point at the beginning is the example of setting the whole word, and the first word at the beginning is the criterion of setting the whole picture.
Origin: Sun Guoting's Book Score in the early Tang Dynasty
The original paragraph: Yi said: "Look at astronomy to observe the changes of time; Look at the humanities and turn it into the world. " The book is wonderful, and it is close to the body. The use of false orders is not thorough, and it is still due to the secret; When the waves are raging, they have already spread in Lingtai. I will be able to understand the feeling of stippling, learn from the beginning, and cast insects and seals, and pottery are all grass-based.
the combination of five materials makes the appearance of the instrument extremely poor; Like the superposition of eight tones, the feeling will be bad. If several paintings are applied at the same time, their shapes are different; All the points are in line, and they are good for each other. One word at a time is the rule, and one word is the final rule.
disobeying and not committing crimes, being harmonious but different; Don't stay late, don't send constant illness; If it is dry and moist, it will be thick and dry; Min rules in fangyuan, dun hook rope straight; At first glance, if it is awkward, if it is hidden; Poverty is abnormal at the end of the hair, and it is emotional on paper; Never mind, forget the rules; Since you can recite the words and offer them without loss, you can still work against the clock. Like a husband's crimson tree and green harp, he looks * * * gorgeous; Sui Zhu and Bi, heterogeneous with Yan. Why carve cranes and dragons, but be ashamed of the real body; It's better to get a rabbit than a fish.
Translation:
The Book of Changes says: "You can observe natural changes by watching astronomy; Understanding human society can be used to govern the world. " Besides, the beauty of calligraphy. If the mystery of brushwork is not mastered, it must be practiced repeatedly to instruct the pen in hand. To learn calligraphy, we must know how to make stippling reflect interest, comprehensively study the principle of starting a pen and closing the front, and integrate the charm of insect calligraphy and official calligraphy. I realized that using five materials to make utensils; Like composing music with eight tones, the feeling of playing it will be endless.
If multiple strokes are put together, their shapes should be different; Several points are arranged together, and the posture should also be different. The first point at the beginning is the example of setting the whole word, and the first word at the beginning is the criterion of setting the whole picture. Each stroke has its own extension and does not violate each other, and the structure is harmonious but not completely consistent with each other; I don't feel slow when I leave my pen, and I don't feel slippery when I walk; There is moisture in the middle of the dry pen, and it is dry in the thick ink.
If you don't follow the ruler, you can make Fiona Fang moderate, and abandon the hook rope to make it straight and appropriate; So that the front is suddenly exposed and hidden, and the luck is endless, and the font shape changes to the end of the pen, blending the author's feelings on the paper; Heart-to-hand, unrestrained. In this way, it is natural to deviate from the law of Xi-zhi and dedication without making mistakes, and it is still wonderful to violate the norms of Zhong You and Zhang Zhi. Expanding information
