What are the valuable qualities of Huai Su? What are the characteristics of Huai Su's calligraphy?

Huai Su chose to become a monk at the age of 10, and later became a famous calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty. He is most famous for his weeds and is called a sage in the grass. But at the beginning of becoming a monk, because my family was poor, I had no money to buy pens, ink, paper, inkstones and the like. At first, he practiced writing on the wall or floor of the temple. At that time, there were 10,000 banana trees in the backyard of the temple. Every time Huai Su practiced calligraphy, he would pick banana leaves and write on them. He practices like this very diligently every day, but I didn't expect that one day he would pick all the leaves of the banana tree, leaving those small ones reluctant to pick them. Huai Su was very upset. Later, he thought of another way, holding pen and ink to the banana garden, standing under the banana tree and writing on the banana leaves. In this way, no matter whether it is the scorching sun in summer or the ice water in winter, there is not a day without doing it. Perhaps it was his spirit of hard work that eventually made a generation of calligraphy masters.

Although Huai Su is a monk, he likes drinking as much as Zhang Xu. Zhang Xu acts like a madman every time he drinks, so people sometimes call him Zhang Dian. Huai Su likes drinking sometimes, and even got drunk one day. But Huai Su prefers to write about weeds after drinking. He has some white houses in the temple. Every time he is drunk, he writes in it. At this time, his "Wild Grass" is excellent, so some people call it "Chasing Crazy". There are many short stories about Huai Su's diligent calligraphy. For example, there is a pool near where he lives. It is said that every time Huai Su practices calligraphy, he will wash the brush and inkstone in this pool, which will be dyed black after a long time, so this pool is also called Mo Chi. Huai Su impressed me as much as his calligraphy, because he likes drinking. Every time he drinks too much, he starts to write. He can only write where he can, such as utensils, clothes or walls and desktops.

By practicing calligraphy, we can see that Huai Su is still a devoted person. After he found it interesting to practice calligraphy, he kept practicing calligraphy every day and never gave up halfway. Only by doing this can Huai Su become a great calligrapher. By practicing calligraphy, we can also see that Huai Su is a diligent person and never gives up halfway. He only has time to practice and is never afraid of hard work. As long as he feels that his writing is not good, he will practice again and again until he is satisfied. Finally, I learned a good hand. Because there was no spare manuscript paper to write, Huai Su came up with a good way to provide himself with materials for practicing calligraphy. So he began to plant banana trees. When the banana trees grew up, he picked the leaves and practiced calligraphy on them. Therefore, Huai Su is still a very smart and flexible person.

Huai Su is also a thrifty man. In the process of practicing calligraphy, he cherishes his tools very much, just like writing until the hairs on the nib are all gone, he will throw them away and replace them with a new one. This may be related to his family experience as a child. Because of his poor family, he entered the temple and became a monk at an early age. In his spare time, he likes to practice writing. Over time, his calligraphy became more and more experienced, so he became a calligrapher in history. As a famous calligrapher in Tang Dynasty, Huai Su is very outstanding and famous. Since 10 became a monk, he has worked hard and persevered every day, spending a lot of time traveling to visit famous calligraphers and looking for experience. He practiced hard for many years and finally created a generation of famous calligraphers. In the history of China's calligraphy in the Tang Dynasty, it left a rich and colorful stroke, which had an important role and far-reaching influence on the later calligraphy research in China.

His main works are autobiographical posts, Bitter Bamboo Shoots, Notre Dame posts, Thousand Grass Articles and so on. Among them is the famous Lun Shu Tie, which is quite different from Huai Su's works in other periods. Its brushwork is even and steady, and its characteristics are very distinct. Appraised as a very elegant style. Huai Su's calligraphy pen is round and powerful, freely retractable, heroic and heroic in one go, with great momentum, which makes people easily feel grand and powerful at first sight, making them daunting. Usually Huai Su's Wild Grass is written in seal script, so his handwriting is thin and hard. Huai Su was still a rebellious man, and in the process of the prosperous Tang Dynasty's transformation to plain weakness, the famous Wang Xizhi's calligraphy was sought after by Emperor Taizong in the early Tang Dynasty, which became a popular trend at that time. However, Huai Su didn't care about this. He still maintains his own style and insists on his own unique style. In the end, his reputation spread far and wide, and because he likes drinking as much as Zhang Xu, he wrote Weeds unscrupulously after being drunk, and became a calligrapher on par with Zhang Xu, known as "Zhangdian Sukuang".

Most of his works have been handed down to this day and still occupy an important position in contemporary calligraphy. When it comes to fonts, everyone is most familiar with regular script, song style, official script and cursive script. Speaking of Huai Su, we immediately think of his wild grass. Huai Su is famous for cursive script, so his best font is cursive script. The cursive script is a wild and unconstrained representative, writing at will, and the impression of ordinary people on it is messy. Huai Su became a monk in his early years, and found the pleasure of writing in the boring time in the temple, so he began to practice calligraphy from then on until he became everyone. Huai Su's cursive script is a model of later generations, which has a great influence on later generations. Cursive writing gives people a complex feeling, and it is extremely difficult to identify every word carefully. Cursive script pays attention to artistic conception, momentum, external and internal performance. There is a trace of detail in Huai Su's cursive script, and the handwriting outlined gives people a gentle but turbulent feeling.

Cursive script doesn't need strokes like other fonts, it only needs simple outlines, but it doesn't lack femininity. Huai Su is good at cursive script, and his cursive script can be heard in one go. But Huai Su's cursive script is different from other cursive scripts. Even if his cursive script is written in one go, both the inner literati atmosphere and the outer majestic atmosphere can be realized. His handwriting is thin and his strokes are not as thick as others, giving people a feeling of intoxication. The momentum of cursive script must be shown, so Huai Su's cursive script is vigorous and powerful, with a tall and straight pen tip, just like waves, with great momentum. Huai Su's cursive script combines rigidity with softness, and there is an inherent technique in its ever-changing nature, that is, statutes. There are many representative works of Huai Su's cursive script, in which he is free and easy, delicate, majestic and gentle.
