Original text: It is important to make changes at the right time, and calligraphy is the most important; the title and the square outline are really the first. If the grass is not true, it is almost impossible to be precise; if the grass is not true, it is not Hanzha. Zhen uses dot painting as its form and quality, so that it can be transformed into emotion; Cao uses dot painting as its emotion, so that it can transform into form and quality.
If the grass turns around well, it cannot form words; if it is really bad, it can still record words. Although they are different from each other, they are generally related to each other. Therefore, it is also adjacent to the two seal scripts, which are bent over eight points, including chapters, and the words are white. If you don't notice it at all, you will be in a different situation. Just like Zhong Yao Li Qi and Zhang Zhi Cao Sage, they are all experts and masters, making them unparalleled. Boying is not true, but his stippling is messy; Yuan Chang is not careful, but his paintings are vertical and horizontal. Those who are self-sufficient and unable to do both are missing something and are not specialized.
Although seal script and official seals are made from cursive seals, their functions are varied and their functions are beautiful. Each has its own advantages: the seal script is graceful and clear, the seal script is precise and dense, the seal script is noble and smooth, and the seal script is smooth and smooth. Convenience. Then cool it with wind spirit, warm it with beauty, drum it with dry energy, and harmonize it with leisurely elegance. Therefore, it is possible to capture their emotions, shape their sorrows and joys, and examine the special knots of dryness and dampness, which will remain the same through the ages. Alas, those who don’t enter its door and peek into its secrets are the same!
Translation: When it comes to adapting to emergencies, running script is the main choice; when it comes to engraved stones, real script is the first choice. If cursive writing does not have the meaning of real writing, it is easy to lose the standard; if photo writing does not convey the meaning of cursive writing, it cannot be called a good product. The real calligraphy uses dots to form the body, and the movement expresses the emotions; the cursive script uses the dots to reveal the soul, and the movement forms the body.
If the cursive script cannot be used properly with the pen-turning technique, the writing will not be decent; if the real script lacks the skills to draw, it can still record the words. The two calligraphy styles are different from each other, but their rules are roughly the same. Therefore, when learning calligraphy, one must also study large seal script and small seal script, integrate Han official script, refer to Zhang Cao, and absorb Fei Bai. If you are not clear about these at all, it will be like the situation where the customs of Northern Hu and South Vietnam are so different that it is difficult to communicate with each other. As for Zhong Yao, whose regular script is amazing, and Zhang Zhi, who was awarded the title of Cao Sheng, they both achieved unparalleled status by specializing in one calligraphy style. Zhang Zhi is not good at painting real calligraphy, but his cursive style has the characteristics of clear stipples of real calligraphy. Although Zhong Yao is not good at cursive writing, his real calligraphy has the bold and unrestrained style of cursive writing. From then on, for those who are not good at both Zhencao and Zhencao, their calligraphy works will not be up to their level, and they cannot be regarded as true experts.
Since seal script, official script, Jincao and Zhangcao have different craftsmanship, the beauty they express has their own characteristics: seal script advocates euphemism and tact, official script needs to be delicate and tight, and Jincao is valuable in smoothness. Unrestrained, Zhang Cao strives to be simple and convenient. Then use the rigorous wind spirit to make it majestic, use the graceful posture to make it gentle, use the dry style to make it strong, and use the leisurely posture to make it gentle. This, to a certain extent, expresses the writer's emotions and expresses his joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. Examine the different styles of brush strokes, which are the same from ancient times to the present; the ever-changing artistic conception of calligraphy from youth to old age can be revealed at any time throughout life. yes! If you don't have access to calligraphy, how can you understand its mysteries?
