There are Liang and Jiang in Yuxian County, both of whom are contemporary Yanzhe. However, Zhang Sheng's cursive script likes Confucius and Yan Yan too much. Kunda wrote a book for Meng Ying, and they all recited their articles. They started to write by hand, and they were not tired at all. Therefore, the followers of the later school compete for the two saints, keep the composition in order, and some people write volumes, thinking it is a dark play. I'm afraid he will go against the classics and become vulgar. This is not the reason for his prosperity, but also because he thought of what Luo and Zhao saw. So he said that cursive script was the end of the story to comfort Luo, Zhao, Liang and Jiang Yan.
I stole a book written by Zhang Junsuo and Zhu Shizhen, saying that healthy qi can eliminate evil spirits, people have no worries, and demons don't make their own decisions. Sincerity can be said to be a person who believes in truth and knows that life is also happy. If a husband praises Du Fu, Cui Fu, Guluo, Zhao Fu and Yan Xin for their intention of self-cultivation, nothing is close to pity. Cheap is my dear!
Is the prosperity of cursive script recent? The first half was not hung by the sky, and the second half was not vomited by Heluo, but made by the saints in Central Africa. At the end of the Qin dynasty, the punishment was heavy, the official books were cumbersome, the war and attack were combined, the military books were crossed, and the feathers were flying. So it is grass, a simple sign, not a saint's business. However, it is difficult to save trouble by deleting, and the loss is restored to a single order. It is very important to see things easily and understand them easily.
Ordinary people have different qi and blood, different bones and muscles, dense heart, skillful hands, ugly books and strong hands in their hearts. If people are beautiful and evil, how can they learn to be similar? In the past, Shi had a heart rash and held his head high, but many people were stupid and effective, which only added to his ugliness. Zhao Nv is good at dancing and flattering. Scholars are blessed and worshipped. Cui He has extraordinary talents, studying in his spare time and traveling in Sri Lanka. Later generations admire strictness and devote themselves to service; Drill hard, lean high, and forget its fatigue; If you don't stop at night, you won't be able to eat.
And cursive writers, cover the fine ears of geisha; Villages and towns do not take this as a good idea, the court does not take this as an official, and doctors do not take this as a test; Four subjects are not prepared for this, but they are not required. Don't use this word in performance appraisal. Good is not in politics, and bad is not in governance. Isn't it good to say it?
Those who do things within the husband must be outside; People with small goals will suddenly become bigger. You can't see the sky with your head up and a needle stuck in it. There are too many things to do. In this article, we will study the essence, review the calendar and coordination method, and promote the process; Explore the secluded places and praise God. Look at the heart of heaven and earth and push the feelings of saints. In the theory of breaking doubts, the reason is the universal Confucianism; According to the correct path of heresy, many elegant people are happy with Zheng Sheng; The harmony between prosperity and virtue, and the restraint of luxury. If you are poor, you can keep your reputation, respect the Lord and get peace, so that you can always lead the world and learn from future generations. Is it not too deep?
2. Translation
In the same county where I live (now Tianshui County, Gansu Province), there are two scholars, Liang and Jiang, both of whom are contemporary scholars. However, their admiration for Zhang Zhi's cursive script surpassed that of Confucius and Yan Yuan. When Liang wrote to Jiang, he was reciting Zhang Zhi's articles in his mouth and imitating Zhang Zhi's calligraphy in his hands, and he was not tired.
Therefore, many young people who are interested in learning are eager to admire these two sages. After their writing and creation, everyone regards a volume as a precious treasure that is not easy to show.
I'm afraid they will deviate from orthodoxy and tend to vulgarity. This is not the way to promote the avenue and revitalize the customs. I also thought of and was ridiculed and belittled by Zhang Zhi, who once said that they were not as good as Cui and Du, but not as good as Luo and Zhao below. Therefore, I specially explain the origin of cursive script for everyone, so as to endure the bad atmosphere brought by Liang and Jiang.
Privately, I read a letter to Zhu, which said that benevolence and righteousness can eliminate evil. If a person has not neglected, that is, heard your news, then evil things will not happen to him. This can really be said to be a person who believes in the right path, holds the truth, knows the destiny and is optimistic. As for his praise, belittling and Zhao's attack, he is complacent and self-righteous. Isn't this boasting, belittling others and attaching importance to himself?
Is the rise of cursive script close to tradition? For the world, it is neither a natural phenomenon revealed by astronomical phenomena; For me, it is also different from the Hutuluo book that emerges in the water; For China, it was not created by saints. Generally speaking, at the end of Qin dynasty, the punishment was severe, the law was strict, the official documents were tedious and lengthy, the war was in full swing, the military documents came and went quickly, and the urgent official documents were sent to various places, thus resulting in the scribbled official script.
It is purely to meet the rapid demand, and it is not a saint's job to convey instructions simply and easily. It's just that it's more expensive than being able to delete complex things and simplify them. I just want to write well and understand them, which is not a formal writing method. Therefore, ancient books praised this, saying that when things happen, they can act cheaply.
However, people who study cursive script don't think that its intention is simple, but simply think that Du Du and Cui Yuan's calligraphy is equivalent to the images expressed by ancient dragon and horse pictures and Luoshui turtles.
If people over the age of seven or eight are allowed to dabble in learning, they have abandoned the orthographic characters created by Cang Xie and Shicheng, and are scrambling to take the cursive scripts of Du Du and Cui Yuan as examples. When Zhang Zhi exchanged personal letters with each other, he also wrote that almost everyone wrote as soon as they thought of it, but the time was just very urgent and hasty, and there was no time to sketch. Writing cursive script was originally for simplicity and speed, but it turned out to be difficult and slow, and it really lost its meaning.
Everyone's qi and blood, bones and muscles are different. There is a difference between carelessness and carefulness, and there is also a difference between clever and plain brushwork. Therefore, the beauty and ugliness of the book Trace depends on the difference of the author's mind and writing skills. How can I barely get it? Just like a person's face is divided into beauty and ugliness, how can it be similar because of learning? In the past, when she was heartbroken, she would cover her chest and frown. Many fools follow her example, only adding to their ugliness.
The beauty of the Zhao family is good at dancing, and it is really charming to walk. However, people who learn from them know nothing. Instead, I lost my original footwork and became crawling on the ground. Look at Du Du, Cui Yuanhe Zhang Zhi. They all have a talent beyond the secular, and no one can continue. After learning, they have a little leisure time, so they let go to play and write in cursive. Later generations admire it, but they concentrate on learning cursive script, study hard, look up to the heights and forget fatigue.
Moreover, cursive script is only a negligible talent for people. The local authorities don't test talents, the court doesn't judge students by their subjects, and doctors don't judge students by their subjects. The examination of Lian Xiao's four subjects does not require perfection, and the central recruitment of talents does not ask whether it is true; When evaluating performance improvement, we don't look up his talent for fonts. Even if it is well written, it is impossible to be familiar with the political situation, and poor writing will not hurt the ruling. So cursive writing is not a trivial gift?
Those who pay attention to the inside will definitely miss the outside, and those who pay attention to the small will definitely ignore the big things. Look up at the needle, you won't have time to look at the sky, look down at the lice, you won't have time to look at the ground.
The world is so vast, but writing grass is exhausting, exhausting. It is better to focus on seven classics to test the calendar, coordinate the rhythm, and work hard towards the expected goal step by step. Explore the subtle and profound truth of fishing and secretly help the will of the light. Look at the sincerity of heaven and earth and infer the feelings of saints.
By analyzing doubts, we can set things right, clarify disputes, stop at the right path in heresy, keep up with elegant music in Zheng Sheng, enhance the supreme virtue of harmony, and carry forward the greatness of mystery and harmony. In this way, when you are frustrated, you can preserve your sanity and leave a name for future generations. When you are proud, you can respect the monarch and rule the world, and your name will be remembered by future generations forever. Is it far-reaching?
