-"Calligraphy Life" Preface Toby Lin
Teacher Toby Lin drew a picture for the cover of this book.
On the paper on my desk, in Preface to Lanting Collection, I wrote the sentence "A group of wise men should be diligent".
Everyone in the book is her student.
They have different identities. Doctors, students, architects, retirees and so on. This is an interesting era, which makes Xuan Tong not only have offline classes, but also have online live classes. Therefore, everyone is far away, has the same teacher, and can also call each other classmates, and there is a tacit understanding between them.
When writing this book, Mr. Toby Lin said that he always talked a lot because of the relationship between teachers and students. But on the podium, facing so many classmates and looking at them seriously, I know they have a lot on their minds.
When they really told something in the book, she said that she found that "they have far exceeded my expectations as a teacher-I thought my classmates had gained these things, but their development and growth far exceeded their imagination."
Art can cross. Practicing calligraphy is from hand to heart. So with the progress of this matter, people have grown up. Life and taste are born from this.
Toby Lin said, I hope that in this mixed life, we can all find our own shelter, focus on our own practice, appreciate our own body odor, grow up, and get comfortable and happy.
"Maybe through calligraphy, maybe through something else."
Let's walk into life with Mr. Toby Lin's calligraphy and learn about this comprehensive calligraphy life book.
1, a million-word exchange compilation
After nearly five years, I had in-depth exchanges with nearly 100 Xuan Tong students who were accompanied by calligraphy in their lives.
Based on the interview data of millions of words, this paper summarizes ten typical problems that we will inevitably face in our study and life.
Sort out, classify, extract key points and compile. Teacher Toby Lin shared a book in the form of story+mental method+actual combat strategy, which is the life style of pen and ink daily class, the wisdom and action plan extended by traditional kung fu.
2. The book Life Accompanied by Calligraphy, edited by Toby Lin, consists of ten key words: beginning, harvest, difficulty, method, time, communication, peace of mind, teacher, others and tradition.
Key words point out some problems that we must face.
The stories in the book are all about their real experiences and the way they face and deal with problems.
Born from calligraphy, it can also be "translated" into all parts of life.
There is more life besides calligraphy. 53 narrators, reflecting 53 kinds of life.
They not only shared the joy of learning calligraphy, but also shared all kinds of life.
For example, from idols to entrepreneurship, from interpersonal relationships to a beloved pot.
You can pay attention to the notes in the article and share more.
4. Ordinary as you and me? You can also go and have a look. Those journeys are real and real, close to you and me.
The protagonist of the story in the book is a student in Xuan Tong's classroom. Some ordinary people.
Because it is ordinary, it is the same as us. We worship Jobs and follow the path of most people.
Similar problems experienced and handled by people like us can be approached and visited.
For example, do you feel unwilling and at a loss? For example, falling into pulling and comparing with the outside world. For example, although you agree with one thing, it is difficult to stick to it. For example, people who care don't agree or understand. And indescribable confusion and pain.
In the book, they are like "people who answer papers". Those journeys are real and real, close to you and me.
This book is their souvenir. But the best part is that I can share it with you.
Intimate friends are hard to find, but you may find in the book that they all understand your pains and joys and have experienced them.
Writing a book requires hard work, first ten years of teaching and hard work, and then careful narration, arrangement and careful choice of words.
Ordinary and credible is what we are most pleased to accomplish.
? Finally, I want to share a passage from Mr. Liang Shuming:
I think all mortals should find a suitable place to move around according to their own intelligence. If you like a science, you can do it; If you like an art, you can do it; Like to go home and farm, you can farm; If you like doing business, you can do it. In short, find a place to put your own strength into it and let him give full play. This is the happiness of life, so there is the value of life, so there is the fun of life.
Because of Xuan Tong's classmates, Teacher Toby Lin also included it in the book. May each of us be happy. Welcome everyone to watch and read.
