1. There are many strangers in the world, but this man is not like that.
Xinglai Shu is a saint, and his drunken words are especially outstanding.
From: "A Gift to Zhang Jiuxu after Drunk" by Gao Shi of the Tang Dynasty.
Translation: People in the world make friends casually, but this old man does not. His calligraphy comes naturally when he is in a mood, and his language is especially bold and crazy when he is drunk.
2. The short paper is laid slantingly, making grass, and the fine breasts of the clear window are used to share tea.
Wearing plain clothes, don’t sigh in the dust. It’s still time to arrive home during the Qingming Festival.
From: "The First Spring Rain in Lin'an" by Lu You of the Song Dynasty.
Translation: Spread out a small piece of paper and write slowly and slopingly, each word in order. In front of the window on a sunny day, I carefully boil water, make tea, skim foam, and try to taste famous tea. Don't lament that the dust in Kyoto will stain your white clothes. During the Qingming Festival, you still have time to return to your hometown in Sanin by Jinghu Lake.
3. I haven’t seen the old immortal in ten years, and dragons and snakes are flying on the wall.
If you want to criticize the governor, you still sing the spring breeze of the willows.
From: "Xijiang Moon·Pingshan Hall" by Su Shi of the Song Dynasty.
Translation: I haven’t seen the old immortal for ten years. Only his ink marks on the wall are still as powerful as a dragon flying and a snake dancing. I wrote this poem under the "Ou Gong Liu" in front of Pingshan Hall to commemorate Ouyang Xiu, a hero in the literary world and the former governor of Yangzhou.
4. Orchid Pavilion's cocoon paper enters Zhaoling, and the ruins in the world are like dragons.
Yan Gong’s reform method came up with new ideas, and the thin tendons penetrated into the bones like an autumn eagle.
The Xu family's father and son are also extremely beautiful, with strong characters hidden within.
The legend of Yishan is engraved with codes and punishments, and the writing skills remain in the sun for thousands of years.
From: "Sun Xin Lao Qiu Mo Miao Pavilion Poetry" by Su Shi of the Song Dynasty.
Translation: The original "Preface to the Lanting Collection" written on cocoon paper has been buried in Zhaoling, and the glyphs of Wang Xizhi's dragon and tiger leaping are still left in the world. Yan Zhenqinggong changed the calligraphy to create new ideas, and the characters are as strong as an eagle in autumn. The calligraphy of Xu Qiaozhi and his son is also extremely delicate, with no sharp edge but vigorous and vigorous strokes. The stone inscriptions on Mount Yi show an example. The inheritor of calligraphy for thousands of years is Li Yangbing.
5. Cut off the bamboo slips to see the dragon, and the bird trails are comfortable near the pond.
The Eight Trigrams of Hetu came out, and it was the beginning of Jiuchou in Luofan.
The dew drops are full of spring light, and the clouds are still full of strength.
Please look into the wood, not even an inch is empty.
From: "Book" by Li Qiao of Tang Dynasty.
Translation: There are few sounds of birds by the pool, and the environment is quiet and relaxing. I lean on the railing and carefully review the words on the letter. Calligraphy is the initial source of Chinese culture, and the existence of Luohe led to the emergence of "Luoshu". The dew drops are round and powerful, and each stroke is like a broken cloud forcefully hiding the time. Please observe every stroke carefully. Every inch is round, smooth, and well-developed.
