In the eyes of Chinese, morality, meritorious service, and speech,
Although it has not been abolished for a long time, it has been passed on for hundreds of lifetimes, and it is for the "three immortals".
And historically, those who have reached the standard of three immortals,
There are only two people:
Confucius, Wang Yangming,
The so-called "words are like people"
Wang Yangming: Calligraphy creation is also a kind of "unity of knowledge and action"
Wang Yangming Xingcao Codex Shanghai Library Collection
Wang Yangming is a generation of "mind studies" masters, and his huge figure in philosophy and thought not only covers up his political and military achievements, but also his achievements in the art of calligraphy.
On the achievement of calligraphy, Wang Yangming can be called everyone. In the Ming Dynasty, Xu Wei once called the book saint Wang Xizhi "cover his people with books", and Wang Yangming "covered his books with people". He integrated the study of the mind into calligraphy and expressed his chest directly. Looking closely at his calligraphy, it is like the wind and clouds, showing the momentum of flexible flying.

Wang Yangming is very diligent in writing. It is said that after Wang Yangming became a relative, he temporarily lived in his father-in-law's official residence. There were several boxes of paper in the official residence, which Wang Yangming used to practice calligraphy every day. In December of that year, when Wang Yangming set off for Yuyao, the boxes containing the paper were empty, which showed how hard he practiced calligraphy.

"Idle observation of things is business, quiet enlightenment of heaven and chance into the cave meditation, the Tao is in danger and everywhere, the heart of the fish and birds self-manifold." Wang Yangming pursues the state of "true happiness" or "true enlightenment" of "pleasing the spirit to swim in creation", and his calligraphy embodies this transcendent and pleasant, highly free spiritual realm.

Wang Yangming's students recalled that Shi Yun "began to study books, to mogu ti, to stop the glyphs." After lifting the pen lightly, the paper is not lightly dropped, contemplation is contemplated, the shape is in the heart, and the method is understood for a long time." He practiced writing not simply to describe the glyph, but to master the method of writing this glyph, so he must imitate the shape in his heart and meditate.

Wang Yangming has no intention of writing, but he is not correct, which is the crystallization of his moral learning and the way of being a person infiltrating calligraphy. Looking at Wang Yangming's calligraphy, what we see is that calligraphy creation is also a process and experience of "unity of knowledge and action", revealing the true disposition of transcendence.
