I have always liked this passage, and I will meditate in my heart every morning before I start writing; In the final analysis, writing can not be separated from nourishing the heart and nature, and both of them emphasize the concept of "taking the middle". There should be a moderate pressure between stippling and painting, a moderate balance between writing and writing, and a moderate fluency of qi, which is the same as the way of life. The key lies in that "degree", as Xu Wenbing, a Chinese medicine doctor, once said-nothing is beautiful and nothing is evil, but if it goes too far, it will be a disaster.
China people's wisdom is full of twists and turns, such as "extremes meet", "extremes meet" and "mountains are heavy and waters are heavy, and the future is bright". My teacher said that calligraphy can be simply summarized as two words: lifting and pressing. If you want to use it freely, you must work hard.
I've always liked the feeling of sticking to my post. As the Buddhist said, when adults learn calligraphy, they always have their own habits, which is actually a disadvantage compared with children's learning calligraphy. They need to go further and get rid of their original writing habits. Teacher Hu Lin said that any study is a process of losing freedom first and then gaining new freedom; Therefore, Buddhism attaches great importance to precepts, that is, a process of losing freedom, which is determined by precepts and followed by rules, and gradually reaches the realm of "keeping the spirit inside" and "getting out of righteousness and entering security", and then aspires to regenerate wisdom. The same is true of the human heart, with inner peace. Everything you see is a positive shadow; A myriad of thoughts, rippling water waves, the mirror is bound to be distorted.
The so-called "borrowing words to sharpen the heart" is just an idea.
