The Originality and Translation of Huai Su's Autobiographical Posts

The original and translation of Huai Su's self-report post are as follows:

Huai Su lives in Changsha, a young Buddhist. After meditation, he wrote quite well However, hate is not far from the miracle of predecessors, and what we see is very shallow. So he went west to China with a tin stick to meet contemporary celebrities. Complicated things.

Legacy and simplicity are often encountered. Suddenly, my mind is a little dull, my voice is faint, and there are many dust spots. Scholars don't feel strange. Strict punishments, the flow of calligraphers, delicate brushwork and the difference between water mirrors, Xu is in the last line.

Self-narrative post

The self-narrative post is a cursive calligraphy work created by Huai Su, a calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, in the 11th or 12th year of Emperor Taizong (776 or 777). It is a kind of paper and ink scroll. Now it is collected in the National Palace Museum in Taipei. The Self-Narrative Post is a brief introduction to Huai Su's life, and also records the poems presented by Yan Zhenqing, Zhang Wei and Dai Shulun.

The whole article is crazy grass, pen and pen are in the middle, such as cone drawing sand table, vertical and horizontal oblique straight, no matter what; The whole volume emphasizes the continuous grass trend, turning up and down with the pen, jerking left and right, fluctuating, rapid, light and heavy, full of rules, strange changes and stirring spirit, which is the ultimate expression of cursive art.

Knowledge expansion:

Since the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, autobiographical notes and cursive scripts have always been popular calligraphy posts in the cursive world, which have had a far-reaching influence in the field of calligraphy art in China. It is the longest work handed down by Huai Su, and is called "the best cursive script in the world".

Huai Su, about 32 years old, went out of Hunan and visited famous teachers in Chang 'an to seek further development. After I arrived in Chang 'an, I saw many rare "unique products" and made many literati and dignitaries.

Because of his free and easy personality and excellent cursive script, he was greatly appreciated by many calligraphers, poets and celebrities, and received a series of eulogies, which was enough to make a picture book. Huai Su lived in Chang 'an for about five years. He left Chang 'an in October of the year of Qi Tang (AD 772) and returned to his hometown of Lingling, passing through Luoyang.

Zhang Xu, his favorite weed master, lived in Luoyang for many years. Although Huai Su died long ago, he made a special trip to Luoyang to remember his predecessors. I didn't expect to meet Zhang Xu disciple and calligrapher Yan Zhenqing by chance in Luoyang. Yan passed by Luoyang for personal reasons. He believes in Buddhism and likes to associate with monks. Huai Su is also a disciple of his classmate Wu Tong, so he values Huai Su very much.
