The word "enlightenment" means "awakening", "awakening" and "understanding". Let's use three stories to illustrate its meaning.
The first story. Once, Confucius took his disciple Lao Tzu there for advice, and Lao Tzu was closing his eyes. Confucius lowered his hands and stood respectfully. When I heard the sound, I raised my eyes and looked. Confucius said at once, "Disciple Kong Qiu is waiting for you." Half a ring, Lao Tzu opened his mouth, pointed to his mouth and asked, "What do you think of my teeth?" Confucius said, "It's all over." He asked again, "What about my tongue?" Confucius said, "Not bad." After that, I closed my eyes and went to rest.
Confucius immediately led his disciples to disband. The disciples asked the teacher, "didn't you come for advice?" Why did you go home without asking? " Confucius shook his head and explained, "Didn't Lao Tzu teach me? You see, Laozi pointed out that the teeth are tough, but weak, and the tongue is weak, but strong. " For Lao Tzu, it seems that the teeth are hard but the tongue is soft. Lao Tzu talked about how profound the relationship between rigidity and softness is. "
In the process of learning calligraphy, we should listen, watch and think more. A word from others may be like a conversation between Laozi and Confucius, which makes you suddenly realize. Is the tenacity of teeth and the weakness of tongue just like our writing brush is soft, but it can write tough fonts?
Let's tell the second story. A rich man called his sons to bed before he died and said, "I have buried a few ounces of silver in the field behind my house." You can dig it out and use it. " As soon as the rich man died, his sons immediately took hoes and went to the fields to look for Yin Weng. Dozens of tilted worlds have been dug up, but no money has been dug up. Seeing that the sowing season has come, they have no choice but to sow in the fields.
Unexpectedly, this year, the crops in the four directions and eight towns all failed, but the grain in the rich man's field grew tall and strong. It turns out that the fields have been turned over several times, which is beneficial to the growth of seedlings. These sons gradually realized that the land itself is gold and silver, and wealth is in their own hands. Only hard work can bring great gains.
No matter what you learn, especially calligraphy, you need to stick to "copying". Calligraphy is an instantaneous art, but it needs a lifetime of hard work. Stick to it for 30 thousand hours, and you are an expert.
There is another story. It is said that in ancient times there was a man who was addicted to money and crossed the river by boat with a cloth bag full of a lot of money. Suddenly, the wind and waves rolled, the ferry capsized and all the people on board fell into the water. Everyone else struggled to swim to the shore without any heavy objects, but the money-obsessed man clung to his wallet and was about to sink.
The person next to him loudly reminded him, "Throw away the bag quickly, or you will drown!" " "Money fans turned a deaf ear, but also cling to the purse, dead!
You should forget what you have learned, so that you can express yourself freely and skillfully, and you can't always hold it back. It is necessary to talk about the things of the ancients becoming their own.
These three stories show three levels and three realms of "enlightenment": epiphany, gradual enlightenment and ignorance.
To achieve the realm of "epiphany", "gradual enlightenment" needs a process of cultivation. This process can be long or short, and the effect depends on individual's subjective efforts.
Enlightenment is profound and simple. It is in everyone's heart and in everyone's efforts. Whether you have an epiphany or a gradual enlightenment, don't be stubborn.
