The Origin of Huai Su's Self-narration

Huai Su lives in Changsha. Young and serving the Buddha. Meditation is good. However, it's a pity that we didn't see the miracle of our predecessors. Look very shallow. So I took the can. Travel west to China. Audience of contemporary celebrities. Complicated things. The legacy is absolutely simple. See each other often Suddenly enlightened. There is no doubt that it is a little delayed. Fish eggs (that is, paper) are covered with silk. Scholar-officials don't feel strange. The calligrapher of punishments is strict. Fine brushwork debate on water mirror. Xu is the last one. Lv Xiang, Minister of History. The young Zongbo Zhang Zhengyan wrote poems for songs. So ... Huai Su, the cash man. English among monks. The spirit is smooth. Open-minded. Watch out for sage. At the age of thirty. Between Jiangling. Its name is great. Therefore, Gong Wei, assistant minister of the official department, saw his brushwork. Well (well) it worked. Zhang Gong, assistant minister of the Ministry, said. Appreciate its unruly. It leads to a swimming place. People who are also good at things sing songs to praise them. Dynamic surplus reel. Husband draft From the Han dynasty. DuDu. Cui yuan. Start with the wonderful smell. It's about Boying. Especially good at its beauty. Xi。 Give yourself. Worried. Born with it. Formulas are taught by hand. That Wu Xu has a long history. Although the posture is arrogant. Beyond ancient and modern times. The model (suspected to be Yan Zi) is described in detail in the fine method. Especially for the real. Zhenqing has been on patrol since she was a child. Repeated excitement. Teach brushwork. Poor qualifications. Baby care. Can't study hard. So far, nothing has been achieved. A word of remembrance. What can be saved? Suddenly saw the teacher. Vertical and horizontal. Fast and terrible. If you go back to the old point of view. You must be friendly to the teacher. The size of the letter. It's a guest in the room. Give up your son and be comfortable. Lamenting is not enough. Talking about books is the first priority. Its successors emerge in endlessly. Overflow the box. Its description is similar. There is a cloud in the ceremony. Run to the snake and sit down. The sound of showers and whirlwinds is full. There is a cloud outside the deer park. At first, I suspected that the smoke was very light, and so was Gu Song. It is like a mountain that opens Wan Ren Peak. Wang Yongzhou Yong said. Cold apes drink water and shake the vines. A strong man breaks his wrist, and an iron pestle grinds into a needle. Zhu is a distant cloud. The pen only looks at the induced current. In a word, it became dinosaur disease. Syrian machine grid. And Li Zhouyun. So did Zhang Xu's works yesterday. At that time, people called it Zhangdian. What did Huai Su do today? Yu Shi called it a crazy monk, and he followed this madness. Who says it's not a bow and a cloud? He Jishan is a famous countryman. Zhang Dian's life in Wu Jun is not easy. Xu Yao Yun. Novelty has no rules. Old and thin, old and thin, semi-inkless. Drunk letters come in two or three lines. When I wake up, I can't read. On rhyme in dai shi yu shu. The relationship between heart and hand becomes very strange. It's strange to turn it over. Everyone wants to know the secret. Huai Su didn't know at the beginning of his speech. Say it. Then there is Dou Shiyu Qiyun. There are dozens of whitewashed corridors. Xing in the chest. All of a sudden, three or five calls were cut off. There are thousands of words on the wall. Dai Gong and Yun. In an instant, the ink column ran. I can't see the whole house. Stupid eyes. There is a poem written by Foreign Minister Xing Wu Qian Qi, written by his father Si Xun. Yuanxi has no previous companions. Lonely clouds in space, not to send. Crazy enough to despise the world. Drunk as mud. They are all eager to speak. Understand metaphysics. Being solid is not something you dare to do. It's just a shame and a fear of ears. There are eight days on October 2nd in the calendar.

Huai Su's Autobiographical Notes of Tang Dynasty is a cursive script written by Huai Su for his own account and the scholar-officials' evaluation of his calligraphy at that time. The book contains excerpts of poems donated by calligraphers, poets and celebrities such as Yan Zhenqing, and praises to his cursive script.

Translation of Huai Su's Autobiographical Posts

Among them, Zhang Li said, "Holding a pen is like a poisonous snake rushing to sit down, and the sound of a whirlwind shower fills the room." Mr. Lu said: "At first, it was suspected that light smoke shook Gu Song, and then Wan Ren Peak appeared like a mountain." Wang Yongzhou chanted, "That blow was like a withered vine shaken by a cold ape drinking water, like a strong iron pulled out by a strong man." Zhu Yuan said: "All I saw in my pen was the passage of induced current, and what I wrote was just scaring Panlong to move." Describing the style of cats, Li Yu Zhou Shi said: "In the past, when Zhang Xu wrote books, people at that time called him' Zhang Dian'; Huai Su is writing a book today, and I really want to call him a' crazy monk'. " Who can say no to inheriting madness? "Zhang Gong also said:" Ji Shan Cong Lao (that is, He) is only slightly famous, and Wu Dian once became a northern vassal. "Xu Yushiyao said:" There is no certain criterion for the interest in novelty. Ancient and thin fonts, like water without ink, flow in half. "I wrote two or three lines when I was drunk, and I couldn't get it out when I woke up." Dai's Shi Yu Shu Lun said: "Taking the heart as the teacher, the brushwork becomes novel, but it seems inappropriate." Everyone wants to know the secret, but Huai Su himself says he knows nothing about it. Speaking of fast, Dou Yu Century said: "There are dozens of white-walled cloisters, so vent a little when you are interested." Then she shouted three or five times, and there were thousands of words on the wall. Dai Gong added, "There are people who rush to write, and all the people say that their eyes can't catch up with the pen." Those who call it stupid and clumsy have a poem written by Xing Wu Qian Qi, an uncle and foreign minister: "A crane flies far away and has no companions to go forward. It's too empty to drift alone. Initiate madness to look down on the world and gain true knowledge through drunkenness. "

These words are full of encouragement and insight into mysteries. Of course, they are not the daring of drifters, which will only increase my shame and fear. October 28th in Dali calendar is the time of Ding.

The original is now in the Palace Museum in Taiwan. According to Zeng Xingguo's topic, the old masters Mi Yuanzhang, Xue Daozu and Liu Juji wrote the topic, which has now been lost. In the Song Dynasty, Mi Fei recorded for interview, while Huang recorded the rest of the East view, while Qing recorded Mo view.

Brief introduction of the author

Huai Su (737~799) was born in Lingling, Yongzhou (now Lingling, Hunan). He became a monk since childhood and engaged in art and literature after Zen, especially in cursive script. People like to drink, so they are called "drunken monks". The wine is flourishing, the temple walls are covered with screens and clothes, and they are at a loss. Because the cursive script is samadhi, it is called "crazy monk". Huai Su began to learn calligraphy from Ou Yangxun, and later learned cursive script from Wu Tong (Huai Su's cousin). Wu Tong, a student in Zhang Xu, wrote in calligraphy. In 762 (the early year of Baoying), he set out from Lingling, passed through Hengyang, arrived in Guangzhou, stayed in Tanzhou, then passed through Yuezhou and entered Chang 'an. In 772, Huai Su returned to his hometown, passing through Luoyang, which happened to be in Yan Zhenqing. He visited the house and discussed books with monks and Confucian scholars, which became a great event in the book world. Celebrities in the Tang Dynasty, such as Li Bai, Lv Xiang, Dai Shulun, Qian Qi and others, all sang their praises. Huai Su is famous for its weeds, and like Zhang Xu, it is called "crazy vegetarian". Handed down from ancient times, there are self-narrative posts, thousands of words on grass, bitter bamboo shoots and books.
