Translation and annotation translation of cursive songs: A little boy, a little monk, whose name is Huai Su. Your cursive style is unique. You can raise whales in the Arctic Ocean with so much ink. You used so many rabbit pens, no wonder all the rabbits in Zhongshan were killed. It's cool here in August and September. Drunk poet, the hall is full. There are several boxes of white cloth and paper on the ground, all of which were written by others. Xuanzhou inkstone was placed on the table, emitting dark and bright light. My super product was drunk, so he took a nap on the rope bed Suddenly got up and swept thousands of words in an instant. Like a storm, I was frightened. Like flowers but not snow, it is boundless. Sometimes writing on the white wall is as big as a bucket. People who read your writing are scared like ghosts and gods. I can only see dragons flying and phoenixes swimming. The strokes move left and right, running left and right, like lightning all over the sky. Just like the Han-Chu War. How many celebrities are there in seven counties of Hunan? Which screen and powder wall don't cherish your pen and ink? What Wang Xizhi what Zhang Boying, that is also called Cao Sheng? Compared with you, I know they have gained fame for hundreds of years. My drinking buddy Zhang Xu, also known as Cao Sheng. Now he is too old to eat in Lian Po, and now he can't get the title of Cao Sheng. The brushstrokes of my ultra-fine products are not restricted by the ancient rules. From ancient times to the present, everything to the extreme depends on natural talent. Why should we be inspired by watching Gong Sundaniang's "Soul Tuo" sword dance like Zhang Xu?
Note 1 Huai Su (725-785, once said 737-799): The word Cang Zhen, whose real name is Qian, is from Lingling. At the age of seven, he became a monk in Shutang Temple, and then lived in Qingsi Temple outside the East Gate. I loved calligraphy since I was a child and studied hard. After meditation, he practiced calligraphy diligently. Because he had no money to buy paper, he planted many banana trees next to the temple and practiced calligraphy with banana leaves instead of paper. After long-term painstaking research and hard training, bald pens are piled up and buried at the foot of the mountain, which is called "pen grave". There is a small pool next to the tomb, named "Mo Chi". He likes drinking, and when he is drunk, he uses it to write on temple walls, clothes and utensils. When he is excited, his feelings turn with the pen, and his meaning grows with the words. He has been abroad many times to "see contemporary celebrities" and learn his calligraphy skills. Huai Su is famous for his cursive script. He inherited and developed Zhang Xu's brushwork. He followed this madness and called it "drunkenness". Huai Su's existing works in Yongzhou include Rui, Qian and Eight Poems in Autumn. 2 Mo Chi: "The Book of Dharma to be Recorded" contains: "Hongnong Zhang Shan Zhi cursive script, changed to study the book, and the pool was full of ink."

A foldable portable seat. "Hu Chuang" was introduced into the Central Plains from abroad in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and there is a record in "Customs Tong" that "the spirit emperor loves Hu Chuang". The biggest feature of this kind of seat is that it can be folded across. The highest point is developed on the basis of rope bed. 6(Huǐng) degree: it's vague and I can't see it clearly. Seven Counties: The seven counties in Hunan refer to Changsha County, Hengyang County, Guiyang County, Lingling County, Lianshan County, Jianghua County and Shaoyang County. These seven counties are all in the south of Dongting Lake, so they are called "Hunan". 8 Wang: Wang Xizhi (303-379), born in Linyi (now Shandong), was a calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Born in a noble family, he is a general of the right army and a civilian. He is called Wang Youjun. His calligraphy is elegant and vigorous, and his style is unique and smooth. He is good at Li, Cao, Zheng and Xing, and is known as a "book saint". Zhang Boying: Zhang Zhi, a native of Hongnong (now Lingbao County, Henan Province), is good at cursive writing. He inherited the tradition and was good at cursive techniques. He must practice calligraphy with all the clothes and silk at home. Linchi learns calligraphy, and the water in the pool is all black. Zhong Wei would call him a sage of grass. 9 Zhang Dian: Zhang Xu's Book of the Old Tang Dynasty contains: Wu Xushan writes cursive script and likes drinking.

He often saw Gong Sundaniang dancing Xihe Sword in Yexian County. Since then, the cursive script has grown and I am grateful, that is, Gongsun knows. " "Yuefu Miscellanies" contains: "During the Kaiyuan period (7 13-74 1), Gong Sundaniang was good at sword dancing, and Huai Su, a monk, saw it and cursive script grew. Allow it to be frustrated. 」
Appreciation of Cursive Songs This poem depicts Huai Su's drunken brushwork, such as a whirlwind of showers, which gives people artistic enjoyment of leaping forward and retreating. "Cursive chinese odyssey", Li Bai spoke highly of Huai Su's calligraphy.
Because of its frank language, this poem is slightly different from Li Bai's previous poetic style, which has aroused the doubts and debates of scholars in previous dynasties. Su Dongpo, a great scholar in the Song Dynasty, once decided that this poem was not written by Li Bai, on the grounds that "the sentence' writing hemp and arranging boxes' is full of village flavor". Zhu, a contemporary calligrapher of Su Shi, thinks that "this poem was written by Huai Su, and its name is too white". In the Qing dynasty, it was a great loss of reputation to demote Wang because he was young and give him merit. Zhang Xu and Taibai both traveled with the Eight Immortals in the wine. When writing poems, they all said that they knew nothing about the situation in their chests, but suddenly once they called it "not enough to die of old age", Taibai never stopped. This is fake. I don't believe it. In fact, these are mostly speculative words, which is not enough to conclude that this poem was not written by Li Bai. Mr. Guo Moruo, a modern scholar, holds the opposite view that "Li Bai and other poets often have frank sentences, which is not the reason." "affirmed Li Bai's poems.
Compared with the theme form of this poem, this poem is written in the old title form of Yuefu Zaqu. Li Bai is famous for his poems. He wrote nearly a thousand poems. I am best at writing poems with the old theme of Yuefu songs in my life, and I have the highest achievement in writing poems with the old theme of Yuefu. The greatest feature of his poems is natural, unpretentious and full of folk songs. Reflected in the frankness and naturalness of language. This poem is written in the form of the old theme of Yuefu songs, which coincides with Li Bai's expertise. In the poem, the phrase "writing hemp and arranging boxes" reflects his frankness. A good response to Su Shi's "country spirit"
Compared with the style and expression of this poem, this poem is heroic, elegant in style, rich in imagination, intricate in syllables and unrestrained in language. Some expressions of Qi-Liang style are integrated into the folk song style, which is unified with Li Bai's unique elegance, which typically shows the characteristics of the poet's "clear water gives birth to hibiscus" and conforms to Li Bai's poetic style. Li Bai likes to use exaggerated sentences in his poems. In this poem, "A thousand pieces are swept away in an instant" and "A row of figures is as big as a bucket" are similar to other famous sentences of Li Bai, such as "Flying down three thousands of feet" and "Yanshan snowflake is as big as a seat".
Judging from the creative state of this poem, it was written in a drunken state. In the poem, "Mo Chi flies out of the north to roast fish, and the pen kills all the Zhongshan rabbits", which is exactly the expression of the poet's temperament. Mo Chi Jr. became the boundless North Sea in the poet's drunken eyes, and it seems that even the Zhongshan Rabbit will be killed. This crazy language description is related to Li Bai's good wine, drinking, and often being drunk. Therefore, the creation of this poem is in line with Li Bai's poetic style of writing a lot of wine.
The creation background of cursive songs has been debated by later generations whether cursive songs were written by Li Bai. Huang Xixuan said, "Proofreaders can't delete, so there is no experience left. According to Guo Moruo's textual research, Li Bai's cursive "Autumn Tour in Lingling" was written in the second year of Gan Yuan (AD 759). 」
