Qian Zhongshu is a college inquirer and a great writer, but his words have been said by people who have read it.
This is his letter to the publisher —

The word qian zhongshu is a scholar's word. Therefore, it is rare to see his "decent" calligraphy works, and there are some couplets and the like on the Internet, and they are mostly counterfeits.
Qian Zhongshu's wife, Yang Dai, said that Qian Zhongshu was very diligent, and in addition to writing articles, he had to take a period of time every day to practice writing. The ancients wrote which one they saw, and which one they wrote was like which.
Qian Zhongshu is a genius, has the ability to never forget, and is born to be a material for learning. So it's not at all surprising to write about who is like whom.
However, the words he wrote casually himself are really like everyone, and no one is like that——
Déjà vu, this is the realm pursued by many writers.
Qian Zhongshu is not a calligrapher, but he uses the method of learning to write, and if he is not careful, he has already written so well.
Doing learning is inseparable from the ancients, which looks like a footnote for ancient books, but in fact, it is on the shoulders of the ancients, expressing their feelings. Therefore, if the study is not done well, there is a pedantic spirit; and if the calligraphy is not written well, it is either fiery or ingenious.
Qian Zhongshu is an interesting person. He always has a sincere heart for the ancient books of the ancients and for things worthy of worship. For example, he was admitted to study in England with the highest score in history, and when he arrived in Oxford, he kissed the land there, only to use too much force, chew his mouth full of blood, and lose half of his front teeth.

But at the same time of piety, Qian Zhongshu is very arrogant. He galloped through the ancient books, and there was no one around. Therefore, his "Tan Yi Lu" and "Pipe Cone Compilation" can be seen by very few people, but once they look in, their fun and laughter are no less than "Siege".
But no matter how big the genius, there will be regrets. Qian Zhongshu's father, Qian Jibo, said that everyone thinks his son is talented, but he thinks his daughter-in-law is better. This is not a gift, but a truth. Qian Zhongshu has the agility of a talented man and the depth of a scholar, but in terms of natural simplicity, he is always slightly inferior to his wife Yang Dai.
This is true of the article, and so is the calligraphy.

Yang Dai's hundred-year-old Xiao Kai made people fall silent
In 2013, Mr. Yang Published an eight-volume collection of 2.5 million words, which is not only a literary spectacle, but also a miracle of life.
And that year, she had another miracle, perhaps written into the history of calligraphy of the literati - at the age of 102, she copied Qian Zhongshu's early poems in small letters: "Huai Ju Poetry Cun".
Over 100 years old, can still write, and it is a small letter, it is difficult to think. But such a difficult thing made this old lady do it.
She made it very clear in the foreword —
Yang Dai said that Qian Zhongshu writes every day, no matter who is in what body, who writes like whom. This is indeed the skill of Qian Zhongshu, he has never forgotten to read books, writing "Siege of the City" book bag fell from beginning to end, imitating several fonts that is still called a thing?
However, when it comes to her own words, Yang Dai seems to be a little frustrated, she said that she is born stupid, and who is not like whom: the Orchid Pavilion order should be round, she wrote it as square; Chu Suiliang should be square, she wrote it as round. But if you believe, you're fooled. Masters write articles, must be under the set, here is. You think she is saying that she is not good at writing, but in fact she is telling you that she has not only written the Orchid Pavilion Preface, but also written Chu Suiliang - Shen Congwen said that people should be honest, and articles must not be honest. We have to learn from Mr. Yang Dai.
Now, let's take a look at her hundred-year-old XiaoKai —
Yang Dai said that I copied "Huai Ju Shi Cun", the pen was sluggish, but I only sought horizontal and vertical. This is a humble word, but it is also a frank word, and of course it is also a useful word. If a centenarian does not seek horizontal and vertical, but instead plays tricks and tricks, it is really empty life for a hundred years.
A bucket room, a centenarian, and two Qing dynasty books.
"The pen is sluggish, horizontal and vertical", replaced by four words, that is, "people are old and old". Although sluggish and stable, not ostentatious, all the experience, all the vicissitudes, all the charm are in these words. They are not calligraphy, just words. Stripped of all skills, calligraphy is writing; erasing all aura, writing is being human. When a person calls himself a calligrapher, his mouth is full of anger.
Yang Dai's words were completely devoid of anger, just like her style. It seems bland, but it stands up to playfulness. Many people like her translation of the sentence "I don't argue with anyone, and I don't despise anyone", I believe that this must be Mr. Yang Dai's favorite words when he was young, but she may not like it later, because no matter whether she wants to fight or not, there is anger.
This should be what she liked in her later years - we were so eager for the waves of fate, and finally found out: the most beautiful scenery of life is the calm and calm in the heart... We looked forward to the approval of the outside world, and finally realized that the world is our own and has nothing to do with others!
After reading The Xiao Kai written by Mr. Yang Dai at the age of 102, I don't know how you will react, anyway, I fell silent. In the face of these small characters that strive to be stable but are still clumsy, I forget what is called the degree of law and what is the layout, because between the lines, only the story flows.
In these stories, there is a strong love of "seeing you before you want to get married", and there is also a love of "a lifetime of companionship, sitting and reading".
