The words come from the "Preface to Calligraphy" by Sun Guoting, a calligrapher of the Tang Dynasty, "The heart never tires of fine work, and the hand never forgets familiarity. If you use it with full proficiency and the rules are familiar to your mind, you will naturally be able to wander, and your mind will First, the pen is free and unrestrained, and the Han spirit is flying. "
Han: originally refers to feathers, and later refers to brushes, writing, letters, etc. This should refer to writing and calligraphy.
Meaning: here it should refer to divine will and charm.
Shen: Shen Yun.
Fei: flying, vivid.
Hanyi Shenfei should describe calligraphy as smooth and unrestrained, vivid and charming. But now, I've seen people use it to describe scenery or people. I don’t know if the meaning of the word has been expanded or if those people misused it.
This book is a wonderful work about creation in the "Calligraphy" magazine. Many of the authors who wrote these articles were masters of calligraphy in the history of modern calligraphy, and many of them have passed away, which further demonstrates their precious value. For example, Bai Jiao's "Ten Lectures on Calligraphy" only used nine lectures when it was published in the magazine, but they are completed here. As a reference material during creation, this book not only has its reference function in terms of historical data and experience. , and has its unique value and significance in calligraphy research.
