Specific method of Miffy lithofacies method

Although we haven't directly seen Mi Fei's principle of physiognomy, according to the styles of other stones and hidden stones, later generations gradually summed up the "four-character method of physiognomy", which was constantly revised and evolved. From the previous theory of "beauty, thinness, elegance and transparency" to the theory of "thinness, wrinkling, leakage and transparency" of Miyuan Zhangshi in Zheng Banqiao in Qing Dynasty, they are all summaries of Migong's experience in physiognomy and physiognomy. The intermediate is solid, not swollen, and the backbone is obvious, that is, the so-called "thin", which focuses on the overall change of the external contour of the stone body, giving people a strange and rough feeling; Such as Cang Sang with undulating stone surface, steep back, yin and yang back, rich stone skin changes and folds; In addition, the stone body is exquisite and porous, connected from left to right, with natural layout, extending in all directions and varied inside, thus having all the essence of the "four characters".

They have their own emphasis, but they are coordinated and hidden from each other, which gives the audience a spiritual shock. It is this extremely changeable contradiction, unity and harmony from the outside to the inside, that is, the unexpected and understandable unique aesthetic view, which catered to the attitude of the literati represented by Mi Fei at that time. They are intoxicated with it, love strange stones, cultivate one's morality and cultivate one's character. I think this has naturally become Mifei's hobby.

In fact, we can also understand the physiognomy principle advocated by Mi Fei from his unruly personality and calligraphy characteristics. He is a talented and arrogant person, but he also advocates a natural, casual and unrestrained life. He is an artist with artistic temperament in emotional types. Not following the path of predecessors and pretending to be graceful is very tenacious in his works. His calligraphy is full of agitation, changefulness, profundity and freshness, especially his brushwork, which wants to be left first and right first, and to promote first and suppress first, all in order to increase the ups and downs and the flying spirit. On the premise of a solid foundation, he is naive and natural, never artificial, and can be said to be in the same strain as the concept of stone and other stones.
