Tomb Tian Bingshe Tie" has been regarded as Zhong Yao's Dharma Tie in the past dynasties. Mifu's "History of Calligraphy" of the Song Dynasty was written by Wang Xizhi in his later years. Zhao Mengfu's "Thirteen Postscripts of Lanting" in the Yuan Dynasty said it was very similar to "Lanting Tie". In the Ming Dynasty, it was engraved in "Mochitang", "Kuaixuetang" and so on.
Explanation: Bingshe in the tomb field wants to have a grandson in the west of the city and a grandson in the Duwei Mansion. This is a legitimate and good person of the Yao family, and the brothers are mourning. I am deeply saddened, Captain Wendai brought trouble upon himself, my virtuous brother is kind and has endless love, we share the same sympathy and help to relieve the sorrow, no matter what.
The writing used in this post is gentle and smooth, with a little bit of meaning; the structure is vivid and natural, swaying and colorful, full of natural interest; the composition is well-proportioned, large and small are interspersed, and the density is appropriate, like a family of old and young carrying each other , taking care of the front and back, seamlessly. Let’s analyze it in detail below.
For example, the upper part of the word "Tomb" at the beginning is tilted to the left, the combination of "田家" is tilted to the right, the word "She" is tilted to the left again, and the word "Yu" is back to the straight line.
The spacing between the three characters "Cheduwei" is small, and the spacing between the two characters "qingwu" is large, forming an obvious contrast between density and density.
Another example is the word "take misfortunes". "take" takes the power to the lower right, while "huo" takes the power to the upper right, forming an opposing trend.
If a single word "怆" is vertical to the left and tilted to the right, the right part will tilt to the left, relying on each other. For example, two people lean on each other's shoulders and lean on each other. They are stable on the outside and have momentum on the inside.

Dong Qichang once said in his "Essays on Painting a Zen Room": "The ancients never wrote the main story, covering it with Qi is right, this is why Zhao Wuxing did not enter the Jin and Tang Dynasties. "Modern calligrapher Luo Fukan also once said: "Writing seems to be displeased when looking at mountains, and writing is particularly noble and majestic. , "It's interesting to be right and oblique." All illustrate the importance of taking advantage of the situation.
The above is just a few representative details for analysis. If you continue to go deeper, every word is worth pondering. The book did not enter the Wei and Jin Dynasties and eventually became a popular style. Studying the Wei and Jin Dharma texts requires us to have keen observation and sensitivity, and not miss any detail.
