Sui Dynasty Calligrapher Zhiguo

Wisdom has a great influence on later generations, which is his book theory "ode to the heart" Ode to the Heart is the earliest article to analyze the structure of calligraphy and the first article to study the structure of calligraphy, such as Ou Yangxun's Thirty-six Laws and Mason Lee's Eighty-four Laws. The analysis of Chinese character structure is concise and to the point. Poems about the Heart can be found in the Yuan calligraphy "Gouxuan". The full text consists of "ode" and "note". "Fu" is a poetic style, and "Zhu" is considered as "non-intellectual fruit self-annotation" according to Yan Kejun's Quan Sui Wen. From the white structure of a single word, to the mutual reflection between words, and then to the balance and symmetry of the whole article, the author has made a wonderful exposition, which laid down the principles for the later calligraphy law and set a precedent for attaching importance to the overall beauty of calligraphy aesthetics. In Qing dynasty, Bao thought that this article was about writing skills and postures when standing, so there were "stretching your left foot and diving into your abdomen" (that is, when writing long characters when standing, your right abdomen will stick a few squares, and your left foot will stretch backwards so that "Qi" will not float to the right, thus ensuring the freedom and comfort when writing) and "stretching your right shoulder backwards and yanking a corner" (that is, your right hand).
