If we say that the reverse stroke and the backward stroke are preparations for the momentum of calligraphy, then the illness and astringency in stroke make the lines collide at once, forming a feeling of sufficient internal strength and complete power. Therefore, the way of illness and astringency is related to the beauty of "reverse" in calligraphy strokes and is also the internal power of calligraphy. Disease and astringency are a pair of core concepts in China's calligraphy aesthetics, and they are also important rules to create formal beauty of calligraphy. Dyspnea is related to the speed of using a pen, but it is not the same as speed. The key to illness and astringency is the gesture of the pen, so the ancients particularly emphasized the "escapement" and "manipulation" of the pen. In the midst of illness, we should properly handle the relationship between going and staying, staying at the place where we go, staying at the place where we go, and going and staying. This is the unity of indulgence and saving, and the unity of being immersed and happy. The method of astringency involves many problems in calligraphy brushwork, such as paying attention to the interception of strokes, being practical in brushwork, being practical and flowing in the process of lifting and pressing, so it contains the meaning of "qu", and it is not easy to use a pen through the ages. Among the diseases, astringency is the most important. Seeking astringency in illness is to combine the aesthetic feeling of frustration with the momentum of flying. Calligraphers are masters at creating contradictions, which make the two sides of contradictions display their own characteristics in perfect unity, and their theoretical basis is the philosophy of "one yin and one yang is called Tao". Disease is yang, astringency is yin, and the way of illness is the way of yin and yang, which contains the spirit of yin and yang.
sometimes the method of astringency is easily misunderstood as the method of speed. In fact, speed cannot be equated with astringency.

Personally, theory is important, but it is not a good way to deal with it because it is entangled in a certain point and a certain stage.
put it down for the time being and move on, maybe there will be a bright future.
