There is Du in Shu, with excellent calligraphy and painting. There is also Dai Song's "Bull" Axis, which is particularly popular. It is covered with precious stones, and it is often followed by itself. One day, when calligraphy and painting were exposed, a shepherd boy saw it, clapped his hands and laughed, and said, "This painting is also a bullfight. The bullfighting force is in the corner, and the tail is between the two strands. Today is another fight, ridiculous! " Chu Shi laughed it off. There is an old saying: "Ask the slaves when you farm, and ask the maids when you weave." Can't be changed.
There is a hermit named Du in Sichuan who likes painting and calligraphy. He collected hundreds of paintings and calligraphy works, including Dai Song's Niu Yi. He especially likes them. He kept them in a tool kit, used jade as a painting axis, and often carried them with him. One day, he dried them.
A shepherd boy saw this painting, clapped his hands and said with a smile, "This painting is a fighting cow. When a cow fights, its strength is concentrated on the horn, and its tail is sandwiched between its hind legs. But this picture shows a cow wagging its tail and beating its horns, which is wrong! " The hermit smiled and thought the shepherd boy was right. There is an old saying: "Ask the farmers who grow crops when planting land, and ask the handmaids who spin and weave when weaving." This sentence is immutable.
