Hao Jing, a famous landscape painter in the Five Dynasties, put forward that painting has "six essentials": "God of one day, rhyme of two days, thoughts of three days, scenery of four days, writing of five days and ink of six days. "With pen and ink as the specific requirements, it is better than Sheikh's six methods. Qi, rhyme, thought, pen and ink, of course, are the same requirements for painters and painters.
In his later years, Wang Meng talked about his own experience: "When I was older, I gradually felt that my writing was pedantic and I wrote portraits and seals." Ke Jiusi also said: "When writing bamboo, the pole uses seal, the branch uses cursive script, and the leaf writes eight points, or by Lu Gong." There is a saying in the Yuan Dynasty that "a scholar-bureaucrat who paints must write a book, and his painting method is where calligraphy lies".
