Zhang Yanyuan of the Tang Dynasty said in the "Records of Famous Paintings of Past Dynasties and the Origin of Narrative Painting": "The jaw has four eyes, and looks up at the portrait." Because of the traces of the birds and turtles, the shape of the calligraphy was determined, and the creation could not hide its secrets, so it rained in the sky; the spirit monster could not hide its form, so the ghost cried at night. It is also the time, the calligraphy and painting are the same body and not divided, and the image system begins and is still slight. There is no way to convey its meaning, so there is a book; there is no way to see its form, so there is a painting. This is the earliest "calligraphy and painting homology" theory.
