Zeng Guofan's poem said: "A long handsome man must have a quiet and interesting view of heaven and earth and have his own understanding of ancient and modern times."
Chang Jiang: Often.
Quiet interest: a clean and optimistic mood.
Look at heaven and earth: Wang Anshi: "The ancients' views on heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, vegetation, insects, fish, birds and animals are all there." It means "only in the observation and physical examination of everything in the world will there be deeper exploration and thinking, and there will be" harvest ",that is, there will be some ideas. This is the practice of the ancients.
Yourself: naturally.
You Huai: Open-minded and distant mind.
Connecting the past and the present: in line with the ancient and present humanitarian changes. Tang Du Fu's poem "Climbing the Building": "The silk water with bright spring scenery floats between heaven and earth, like a cloud on the edge of Yufeng, between ancient and modern times." Song Ceng Gong's "Ask Chang 'e to Save Yourself from Miscellaneous Officials": "The quality of ancient times should be based on the king's law; After the afterlife is implemented, it can be implemented: sincerely discuss the past and the present. "
The first part: As long as you always keep a quiet and optimistic mood to observe and experience everything in the world and have a deeper exploration and thinking, then you will gain something. (including the generation of ideas)
Downward: This will naturally produce a distant and open-minded attitude to adapt to the ancient or present personnel changes. A saint condensed his life experience, which is a classic. )
The foundation of life is in the heart, and so is the foundation of calligraphy. Zhu Youshi said: "This body has things, but it is empty and harmonious. Convergence from micro-charge to large, silence is unmoved. " Behind calligraphy is a distant and invisible personality, character and realm. The end-result of personality cultivation is the realm, "the realm is self-contained" (Wang Guowei's language).
