In the field of calligraphy, people often refer to spirit, which is how I understand it. The general statement of spirit is: there are sun, moon and stars in the sky, and people have spirit, and spirit refers to people, their physical state and life form. There are sun, moon and stars in the sky, but what is there on the earth? Reasoning, what is the most important thing in the earth? Light? Heat, heat energy. Land? Bearing, including parenting. Water? Life, reproduction. Trees, Magma, Air ..........
talks about the spirit of calligraphy. Since it is the spirit of human beings, calligraphy can't be called that. Calligraphy is created by people and corresponds to people. Calligraphy and people are linked through brush, ink and paper. People's spirit is reflected on paper, just like eggs and chaos at the beginning of the day, and then split into yin and yang, which is heaven and earth, male and female, male and female. People are divided into men and women, who are exposed to the sun, rain and dew, and eat all kinds of food. There are fourteen women and eighteen men. It can create life, and the female is subject to the male essence. So the pen and ink begin to touch the paper, and this interaction between Yin and Yang is also true, not to mention how the fetus is conceived in the mother's body, how the calligraphy works are created, and when the works are completed, just like when the fetus is born, the spirit of the person corresponding to calligraphy can be distinguished accordingly. When a person is born, it is congenital to acquired. The so-called life is the beginning of death. The weather turns into the gas of the day after tomorrow. It is also like being full of ink on rice paper.
what is qi? When a person breathes, it becomes qi. Calligraphy is light and heavy, urgent and slow, virtual and solid, lifting and pressing, thick and thin, and so on, which is breathing. Breathing can work, as calligraphy does, it can sense, and yin and yang are full of it, which is the corresponding person's qi, and its name has no name.
what is essence? The essence of man is born in the kidney. Kidney has yin and yang, and people also have two forces. Describing calligraphy works, it is said that pen and ink are like children's eyes, thick and black, shiny and radiant, and that Wang Xizhi's glyph is like a phoenix que, like a stone pan, and it is also a manifestation of his strength. This is the essence of the corresponding person, and its name is also unknown.
what is god? From birth to death, the expression of this state of life, such as talking, doing things, studying, fighting, resting, singing and dancing, eating Lazar, is a human life activity. If there is no human life characteristics, then people's so-called lives intersect. Sex is the form, life is the soul, and it is God. In painting, it is often evaluated that the image of painting is vivid and lifelike, and it comes to life as if it were true. In calligraphy, too, the combination of works and word meaning is like wind and frost, like flowing water twists and turns, like a sword and iron horse, like a beautiful woman, like the warmth of early spring, like eight zhangs of man of iron, like two or eight willows ... It can be expressed, produce a * * sound with people, and show a side of the scenery.
