Original text:
The husband is straight and similar, shaped like a symbol, integrated up and down, straight back and forth. This is not a book, but it is worth mentioning. Yesterday, Yi Song was the official of Jingzhao's regular script, with a wooden appearance and no words, but he was famous for his fear of respecting officials. If you are a regular script, you must also know that your wings are Jing Zhao XII. Husband's strength begins with bones, and books can be written. The storyteller has strong bones and weak muscles, flying around and contracting infinitely. An anxious person is close to peace, but his book is far from peace. Fake Mrs. Wei's book is like a flower arranging dancer, with low beauty; Another example is dancing sleeves and flying flowers, winding the return air.
Translation:
Straight and similar shape, like abacus beads, neat up and down, straight back and forth. This is not calligraphy, just stippling. Once upon a time, Yi Song was a regular script official of Jingzhao, with a dull appearance and no literary talent, but his awe of Fu Lang reached the extreme. Like block letters, we should also understand that Yi Song is the history of Jing Zhao.
Powerful brushwork requires a clear understanding of bones and muscles before we can talk about calligraphy. The so-called calligraphy is that the bones are strong and the tendons are weak. Once you start, it's no longer as dull and uncomfortable as holding a broken hairpin. If you use the pen quickly and almost smoothly, the shape of the word will be easily out of shape; It is as beautiful as a flower arranging dancer, with beautiful sleeves and flying flowers, and entangled air.
