Calligraphy: the idiom of calligraphy.

If I want to tell a little story about Four Treasures of the Study's Chinese ink, I think of an idiom: dancing with ink. I looked it up in the dictionary, but I explained that it is a very derogatory word.

Dancing with ink, 1. I also said dancing with ink. 2. Play with word skills. 3. Distort and use legal provisions to cheat. "Biography of Sui Shu Wang Chong": "Learn the laws clearly, but dance with the writing and ink to compete with their hearts." Dancing and playing: playing with

as a cultural person, this explanation is not in line with my mind, and I feel a little unscientific. When I am full of ideas, I am full of enthusiasm. It is a splendid article that is full of positive energy. The real image and state of literati writing should be degraded to those who are not cultivated and talented, or they are not literati, and they have no affection or opposition to literati, or they are wolves in sheep's clothing, not real literati, relying on words, reversing black and white, acting in collusion, showing off political skills, playing with people's hearts, and showing their abilities. They can be thin and paper, which is more harmful than ink and tarnishing words.

I said these things to show the ink in calligraphy. In ancient writing, apart from recording, it is more important to write articles to seek fame, or literati to express their feelings with pen and ink. The main purpose is to leave obvious and effective marks on paper or silk, in which ink is the expression of the content, and the content value is the main one, while the others are the second. As for the later highlighting of calligraphy works, it should be in this process that people find that some writings are really good, and the careful taste is really good, and it is even better to hang them up, so this field has arisen, studying strokes, studying structural layout, paying attention to ink color, artistic conception, sense, etc., and it is not bad until. It is the word before the article, not the article, which is the main thing, and the rest are all from it, a little contrary, which reflects the position and function of ink on paper. The first article is to make ink, the content of the article is expressed, and the mood and emotion are expressed, supplemented by pen and ink, wet or dry, light or thick, or thick or moist, and the pleasure of sending and receiving is also from the heart. This is to express the meaning of words, so it is generally perfect, and there will be no mistakes. Even if there is disharmony, it is another beauty, because it is also a part of it. So now some people propose to write their own poems and articles, but this realistic possibility needs to be discussed. After all, it is not ancient times, and communication, recording, life and study can't be separated from Four Treasures of the Study. Nowadays, calligraphy can be said to be a kind of inheritance and development, a skill, the same practice of strokes, copying and pasting, etc., and its main function is mostly for appreciation, that is, the words are first followed by the articles, and the words should be said to be ink. The prominence of ink in written articles is not obvious, and sometimes ink is dominant, which can be said to be in pursuit of perfection rather than creating perfection. If you want to surpass the ancients, first come to a splendid article, not an outreach, but an inner show. If we modern calligraphers want to make good achievements, we have to find another way to find a higher and more suitable road, otherwise we can't break through the achievements of the ancients. What's the use? Of course, it's no problem to use it in life. Say it bigger and more seriously. In the long river of history, there is no trace left. Say a thousand words, but also have to pick up pen and ink to write ten thousand words, hoping to help everyone in the understanding of ink.
