Huai Su (737-799, once called 725-785), born in Lingling, Yongzhou (now Lingling, Hunan), was a calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty. He is famous for "Weeds" and is known as the "sage in the grass" in history. Being a monk since childhood, I like calligraphy after meditation. And Zhang Xu, collectively referred to as "Dian Zhang Kuang vulgar".
Calligraphy works handed down from ancient times include autobiographical notes, bitter bamboo shoots, Notre Dame notes, essays on books, a thousand grasses and so on.
Anecdotal allusions
Huai Su's spirit of studying hard and practicing hard is amazing. Because he couldn't afford to buy paper, Huai Su found a board and a disc and painted it with white paint to write. Later, Huai Su thought the lacquer board was smooth and not easy to ink, so he planted more than 10,000 plantains on a wasteland near the temple. When the banana grew up, he picked the leaves and spread them on the table, waving at the post.
Because Huai Su practiced calligraphy day and night, the old banana leaves were peeled off and the lobules were reluctant to pick, so he thought of a way to stand in front of the banana tree with pen and ink and write to the fresh leaves, even if the sun shone on him like a frying pan; The biting north wind cracked his hands and skin, but he kept practicing calligraphy regardless. He kept writing about one place after another.
