Translation of pen-and-ink painting

In ancient times, the wonderful use of three terminals did not precede the use of pens; The mystery of six arts is not more important than calligraphy. Li Si, the former prime minister of Qin Dynasty, saw Zhou Muwang's calligraphy and sighed for seven days. He was not satisfied with his brushwork. Cai Yong went to Hongdu to watch the monument and could not bear to return for a hundred days. He kept praising those excellent inscriptions, so he knew little about the origin of Tongda's book and calligraphy. In modern times, they did not learn from the ancients, but deviated from books by interest and only remembered their own names. Some of them have no knowledge and knowledge, which leads to no achievement and wastes their spirit. Therefore, people who have no connection with the gods and can influence others are not enough to talk to them about this. At present, Li Si's Bimiao has been edited and revised to make it complete. To sum up, there are seven articles, and the description is listed on the left, which will always be a model for future generations. I hope future learners have time to look at it.

The bristles should be taken from the rabbit hair on the steep mountain and hunted in August and September. The pen should be one inch long, the tube should be five inches long, the front hair should be neat, and the front waist should be strong. The inkstone should be light black and dry new stone, which can give consideration to lubrication and stagnation, and can glow the luster of ink. As for ink, pine smoke from Lushan Mountain and antler glue from Dai Jun County should be raw materials made more than ten years ago. Paper should be made of Dongyang fish egg paper, which is soft and smooth. If you want to learn to write, you must first learn how to write. If it is a photo book, you must write two inches. If it's cursive, take a three-inch pen. The next pen is full of twists and turns, and we must do our best. Beginners should learn big characters first, not small ones. Those who are good at appreciating are not good at writing, and those who are good at writing are not good at appreciating. People who are good at writing are skinny, but those who are not good at writing are human flesh. Those with more bones and less meat are called "Jin Shu" and those with more bones and less meat are called "Mo Zhu". It is advisable to have more strength and muscles, but it is wrong to be weak without muscles. We should learn the mystery, understand the essence and use it reasonably.

Horizontal painting: like a thousand miles of clouds, it actually has different shapes and different heights.

Side point: Like a stone falling from a mountain peak, it is actually collapsing.

Skimming: Feng Hua can cut off rhinoceros horn ivory on land.

Gabe: Like a bow and arrow.

Nubi: It's as knotty and thin as a dead vine.

Backflip: Be as good as Xu Chi.

Bow posture: be as vigorous as a strong crossbow.

On the right, there are seven pen arrays coming in and out. There are seven situations in writing. Sometimes it is urgent but not tight, sometimes it is loose but tight. The pen is close but not tight, and the intentional pen succeeds first. So there are six ways to use a pen:

Structural fonts and layout are complete, such as seal cutting;

The brushwork is elegant, free and unrestrained, like Zhang Cao;

The waves are as dangerous as stereotyped writing;

The elegant brushwork is like a flying white paper;

The strokes stand upright like a crane's head book;

As vigorous as ancient Li.

However, it is necessary to think carefully and carefully, and then create a word, each with its own shape, in order to achieve a wonderful situation and exhaust the whole book. Years old in Yonghe for four years, painting and writing in Shangyu.
