Mi Fei's eight-character mantra emphasizes that the collected pens should be bound and "recycled", just as reverse entry emphasizes that pens should be hidden. In actual writing, we often do the reverse recovery action too carefully, rather than failing to do it. If the guiding principles are implemented as dogmas, mistakes are inevitable.
In order to start a pen and collect a pen, each stroke is to hide the head and protect the tail, ignoring the continuity between strokes, and the lack of connection between the writing before and after strokes makes writing a perfect stroke. These are the mistakes we often make in actual writing. The perfect part will make the whole lose its balance, integrity and meaning.
He said this: "If you don't sag or shrink, you just write straight, that is, horizontally, with a round head hanging in the middle, which is also called dew, such as dew; Don't go anywhere, just go back to the place where the waves are dialed. Don't go at once. " This probably represents the understanding of most people, because so far. We haven't seen anyone question this explanation yet.
We beg to differ from this explanation. In fact, it means expecting the text: writing from the bottom up. Is there anything else in this world that I don't know that needs the guidance of a great calligrapher? The explanation of the latter sentence seems a little enlightening, but it is far from reality. What we see in the "waves" (that is, foot pressing and foot hooking) of tablets and posts, except that cursive script rarely slows down foot pressing and foot hooking, most of them are dominated by trends.
Extended data:
Mi Fei's pen-using features are mainly that he is good at forming elegant and extraordinary momentum and calm and happy style in positive, backward, turning and frustration. The beginning of the word is often quite heavy, and the middle is slightly light. When the side of the pen encounters a turning point, it will go straight down. There are also many changes in holding the pen. The focus of the next stroke is sometimes on the pen, sometimes on the pen, and sometimes in the middle of a stroke, a long horizontal painting has twists and turns. Hooks are also very distinctive.
There is always an inclination in Mi Fei's calligraphy. He wants to be left first and then right, and he wants to praise first and then suppress, all in order to increase the charm of ups and downs and the gas field of flying fast. After decades of rich collection of ancient Chinese characters, he is naive and natural, and never pretends. People who learn from Miffy will inevitably lose their "difficulties" even if they get the moon first in the water.
Since the Song and Yuan Dynasties, there have been two attitudes towards Mi Fei's calligraphy: one is to praise but not to belittle, and to admire it to the utmost; One is that there are praises and denials, and most of them are praises. Those who hold the first attitude can be represented by Su Shi. Emphasize the need to strictly distinguish the differences between them in temperament and interest "(Ruan Pu's On Su Shi's View of Literati Painting).
His so-called "innovation in statutes, ingenious and bold" and "harmony with nature, disgusting desire" all require painting on the basis of traditional attainments, techniques and style standards. Simply put, it is old tradition and new taste.
Mifei, the originator of literati painting, dismissed this reconciliation. Mi Fei's success lies in his attitude towards ink opera and his choice of motif, which has realized his recognized literati interest. Miffy realized to change the traditional painting procedures and technical standards in order to realize new benefits.
Mi Fei calls himself a "writing brush", which is modest and practical, while the "writing brush" shows that he is quick and energetic, and tries his best. His calligraphy works, from poems to bamboo slips and inscriptions, are full of vitality and freshness. Judging from nearly 60 Mi Fei's handwriting in the world, the word "brush" vividly shows the spirit of the word "rice".
