Jin Shu. Wen Yuan translation

Gu Kaizhi is from Wuxi, Jinling. Gu Kaizhi is knowledgeable and talented. People asked him about the scenery of Kuaiji Mountain. Gu Kaizhi said: "Qian Shan is a competitive show, and there are countless hardships to contend with. The grass is covered with a cage, like a cloud star Xia Wei. " Gu Kaizhi often eats sugar cane, always from the tail to the root. Someone was surprised. He said, "It's getting better and better."

Gu Kaizhi is particularly good at painting, and his paintings are fantastic. Xie An attaches great importance to him and thinks that no one can match him since ancient times. Every portrait he draws is always wonderful. He once painted a portrait of Pei Kai, adding three hairs to his cheeks, which made the viewer feel particularly beautiful.

Gu Kaizhi especially believed in magic, thinking that he could get it as long as he asked. Huan Xuan once lied to him with a willow leaf, saying, "This is used by cicadas to hide their shame. If you use it to cover yourself, others will not see you. " Gu Kaizhi believed that Huan Xuan didn't see himself and cherished the leaf very much.

Therefore, the world says that Gu Kaizhi has three unique skills: talent, painting and infatuation.
