Describe the different postures of women, each with its own charm. It also means that the styles and genres of works of art have their own characteristics and are good at beauty.
From:? Su Shi's poem "Sun Xin's Old Begging for Mo Miao Pavilion"
The full text of the poem:
"Ling Du storytelling is expensive and hard, and this theory is not based on the public; Short and fat, each with his own plans, who dares to hate Yuhuan Yan Fei. "
Interpretation of vernacular:
I can't hear Du Fu's comment that calligraphy pays special attention to thinness and hardness. Calligraphy, whether long or short, fat or thin, has its own posture. Yuhuan is flying and thin, so which one is not good-looking!
Extended data:
In the following four sentences, "Ling Du's storytelling is thin and difficult", the poet expounds his aesthetic thoughts. In Li Chao's Eight-point Xiao Zhuan Song, Du Fu said, "Books are expensive, thin and hard, but they are interlinked in spirit". The poet disagreed with Du Fu's view.
He said: this view is unfair, and I can't judge other people's calligraphy by it. Tall, short, fat and thin have their own manners, just like plump and slim Zhao, each has its own charm, and no one can tell who is not beautiful. Here, the poet clearly advocates that the style of calligraphy art should be diversified and should not be the same.
