If it's fair, talk like a mirror.
The upper and lower couplets here are all from China's literary criticism classics and Liu Xie's Wen Xin Diao Long in the Southern Dynasties.
"moving ink over brocade" and "shaking pen and scattering beads" talk about talent and kung fu. If you just drop ink and start writing casually, it will be a splendid scene.
"Fairness and balance" is about objective justice, which is the basic premise of commenting on articles. If you have subjective prejudice and only like what you like, how can you be objective and fair?
Impartiality is not only an attitude, but also an ability. People often take part in a tit-for-tat debate before they realize that the original objective, fair, scientific and rigorous idea is naive, wrong, incomplete and incomplete. This kind of objective and fair ability also needs to be learned.
Further extension, "balance" can also be regarded as a judgment of action-should this situation be serious or lively? Should we attack boldly or defend carefully? Every penny counts, or should we compromise and seek common ground? When we encounter all difficulties, we should be bold, not careless, and grasp the balance point for all kinds of contradictions we face.
"Taking words as a mirror" is to reflect the profound meaning and subtle feelings of words as a mirror. We often say "the heart is like a mirror", which means the same thing.
Further extension, "Looking at Words as a Mirror" can also be said to be insightful and clear insight into the nature of things, just like the song "Looking at Flowers in the Fog" sings:
Lend me a pair of discerning eyes,
Let me put this confusion,
See clearly, see clearly, see the truth ~
