On the Metaphysical Image of Books

A good book must have a good structure, a strange and novel layout, a dotted line inheriting the ancient method and carrying new ideas, and a contradiction and dialectic between the block and the whole. However, it's all about its appearance. If it's about its beauty, it's all about its mysterious image.

The plane of the book should be a whole rather than a subdivision, just like the commercial orientation of Chinese painting, the composition of oil painting and the spatial slicing of architecture; Built-in several faces in the big shape, during which the blood flows smoothly, the charm is well connected, and the stiffness and weight are not lost. Draw little by little and don't stick to local gains and losses. It is considered complete.

As for the so-called wholehearted, its beginning and end must be ethereal and echoing, and the pen and ink should be dry and natural. It is expected that there will be sudden compassion and the feelings of mistress. "Sacrificing my nephew" and "Cold Food Post" all have such poems. If you want to move people, you must first move yourself. We must be emotional here, sing with your heart, and gradually guide until the abdomen is in the middle. The so-called modest and solid belly means elegant and ethereal, and the solid belly is concrete and implicit, covering everything-size, reality, length, rigidity, thickness, density, yin and yang and so on. If its beauty is here, it will be more resistant. This interval is the sum of contradictions. How to properly handle them, resolve contradictions and properly solve problems will become a good structure.

Jiang, a native of the Tang Dynasty, said: "Calligraphy can be learned, but some things can't be learned, and some things can't be learned. This is also an extra-legal matter. There are tens of thousands of words in ancient and modern books, all the same. We must strive for perfection in law and win ears outside the law. " From this perspective, calligraphers are not as good as calligraphers. The man of practice is ever-changing and unpredictable, while the Tao is unchangeable. The Tao gives birth to all things, and it is simple and clumsy. "A gentleman is thick but not obvious." Don't be too specialized in the law, or you will lose your way. If you talk about books, there is a fresh and natural meaning. Gu Zhuo's thick rhyme is naive and interesting, and his thoughts flow. Yu Gankun is more heroic than the world in the mystery, occupying the vastness and endless throughput of the universe! It must be a good structure, and its lofty image is so. Law is not heavy, but light, which is better than Tao. However, those who have gained the Tao are like a drop in the ocean, and only a few people have been reduced in the Millennium.

The freehand brushwork of the book is still close to Taoism. Books are mysterious to Taoists. The yin and yang of Tao are almost all compared with books. When the saint writes, he draws yin and yang, bit by bit, both dry and Kun; There are yin and yang in a word, yin and yang in a line, yin and yang in a square and yin and yang in an article. All laws are within all principles, all principles are within all strangeness, all strangeness is within Yin and Yang, and Yin and Yang are within Gan Kun.

Zhu has a saying, "cover your heart, look everywhere for it to be the heart of Tao, and if something happens, it will be the heart of people." This language refers to the mind of Taoism. In the book, there is atmosphere with heart. This statement coincides with the truth that "the sage's qi is beyond things, inseparable from things, doing nothing, and doing something for it". A great meteorologist does not mean that his works are vigorous or seem strong, but that his inner structure is full and beautiful, not the size. Although the books written by good people are eight feet and two feet, on closer inspection, they are single in point, line and plane, simple in composition, contrary to reason and morality, thin in spirit, and counted one by one, and no matter what the weather is, they have no aesthetic feeling at all.

Fushu is a place of meteorological and spiritual luck. Most people are born with it and can't learn it the day after tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, they can learn skills. "Whether to call their talents alone, they should learn first." Masters of all ages have good talents, and if they are superior, they will be transformed at once. Or self-taught, fragile inside, often living at the door of the inner or mysterious realm. Once he opens it, it will be suddenly enlightened and great from now on! Techniques are all used by the Tao, and if you are confined to the law, it will damage the mysterious image. This will be belittled, and people interested in calligraphy can't ignore it.

Zhang Huaiguan's brushwork theory has a cloud: "Yin and Yang are opposite, the scales and feathers are uneven, the peaks and valleys are undulating, the real grass is withered, the evil is really lost, the flying is slow, the shooting is delicate, the size is regular, and it changes with words." These are all mysterious.

In ancient times, books written by a master were often upright. Those who are perverse, withdrawn and extreme in speech are not included. This is like a landscape painting, where there is a mountain arch, there must be a primary and secondary, and there is a connection between them. The six methods of painting and calligraphy are vivid and can be applied to books. Zhou yun is based on the vitality of life and the charm of culture. Together, it is the highest level of artistic activities in the human spiritual world. Only by understanding "biography" and "touch writing" can you understand the humanistic concept of China people, and you can understand it. The article focuses on qi, because the author gives the article life, and qi is the essence and spirit of life (as the old saying goes, "Double Wells" can be learned from books. These two veins are interlinked, so get ready to wait for them. They are arranged to set up posts everywhere. When the spirit is in the camp and the mysterious image is on the rise, they will start to write and spread their papers, like leaves rolling in the wind and surging rivers. The places we pass by are either "streams hanging branches", "mountain streams ringing", "flying clouds over waterfalls" or "nine turns". When encountering a steep rock cliff, it is unstoppable; After the great cause of Pingjiang was bottomless, the undercurrent surged! Compared with books, all people are beautiful, which is the mysterious image of books. The book is unreasonable, and the Tao cannot be said.
