Book, on paper, length: 26.5 cm, horizontal: 900.8 cm, now in the National Palace Museum, Taipei. The first title of this volume is: "On the Book of Genealogy." Wu Junsun Guoting wrote", the end of the volume is titled: "Three Years of Writing notes on the arch". The content is mainly about the experience of calligraphy, the essence of book writing, and some basic principles of learning calligraphy. It is generally believed that this (upper) volume is "preamble", which was divided into two volumes during the Song And Yuan Ming dynasties, and when it entered the hands of Yan Song, it was packed as one volume. The next volume is the "Spectrum", which the author failed to complete during his lifetime.
Cursive commentary
The work of the six texts, zhaozi Xuanyuan; the rise of the eight bodies, began with the government. It is still good to use Si Hong. But the present and the ancient are different, and the quality of the yan is suspended, which is neither habitual nor slight. There are dragons, snakes, clouds, and so on, such as turtles and cranes, such as The True Yu Er, or Written Rui in that year, Skillfully involved in Danqing, and the work was lost
Translated herein
The original work of the "Six Books" can be traced back to the Xuanyuan era; the rise of the "Eight Bodies" naturally originated from the Qin Dynasty. It has a long history, has been widely used in history, and has played a major role. Because of the difference between ancient and modern times, the difference between the simple ancient text and the beautiful modern body is very different, and it is no longer used, so it is omitted. There are also fonts created according to dragons, snakes, clouds, dew and turtles, cranes, flowers, grasses and other types of objects, which are simply depicted in the form of objects and images, or written "Xiangrui" at that time, although the strokes are clever, but lack of writing skills
Cursive commentary
Ink, heterogeneous, not detailed. The ten chapters of the ten chapters of the theory of posture between The Generation Of Xi zhi and Zi Jing, the text is sparse, the meaning is clumsy, the purpose of the details is interesting, and it is not a right army. Moreover, the right army position is heavy and talented, the tone is elegant, the sound is not dusty, and Han Mu still exists. Guan Fu zhi a book, Chen Yi matter, the time of creation, Ji Gusi is there;
Translated herein
It is not a calligraphy norm, so it will not be discussed in detail. The ten chapters of Wang Xizhi's "Treatise on the Gesture of Hezi Jing" circulated in society are despicable in words and rough in reasoning; the intention is obedient, the language is clumsy, and the purpose of examining it in detail is definitely not Wang Xizhi's work. And Xi Zhide is highly respected, talented, fresh in style, elegant in rhetoric, the reputation is still noble, and Han Mu still exists in the world. Watch him write a letter and talk about one thing, even in a hurry, or pay attention to the ancient precepts. Oh no
Cursive commentary
Mou Lingsi, Dao Ye Yifang, Zhang Ze Dun Loss, as far as this is concerned! Youyun and Zhang Boying are classmates, and Sinai is even more illusory. If it refers to the end of the Han Dynasty Boying
Translated herein
When teaching tutors to their children and grandchildren, in the articles that guide the rules of calligraphy, they suddenly lost their rules, to such an extent! He also said that he and Zhang Zhi were classmates, which was even more absurd. If it refers to Zhang Zhi at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the era does not match at all; there must be another Eastern Jin Dynasty person with the same name, but why there is no record in the history. This book is neither a calligraphic norm nor a classic work, and should be discarded.
Cursive commentary
The times are not connected at all; there will be Jin people with the same number, and how lonely the history is! If it is not a training or a scripture, it is advisable to abandon it.
What is reached by the husband's heart is not easy to complete in the famous words; what is said is still difficult to form in paper and ink. Rough can be like its shape, the outline of its words. Hope for hope
Translated herein
The era is completely inconsistent; there must be another Eastern Jin Dynasty person with the same name, but why there is no record in the history. This book is neither a calligraphic norm nor a classic work, and should be discarded.
What is understood in the heart is difficult to express in words; it is difficult to say in words, and it is not easy to write on paper with pen and ink. It is only possible to write its shape roughly and state the general summary. I hope to be able to weigh the subtleties
Cursive commentary
Take the best place. The end of the catch, please come. The reason for the transfer of the envoys is to dispel the unenlightened. The category of persistence in the depth and depth of the term is also; the kind of making the meaning of vertical and horizontal involvement is also; the kind of turning is also, and the use of the predicate to draw the back is also. Fang Fu will know its numbering method, return
Translated herein
Seek to understand the realm of beauty. As for the lack of detail, it has to be added in the future. Now to talk about the principles and functions of clinging, making, turning, and using, people who do not understand calligraphy can understand: persistence means that there are differences in the depth and length of the finger wrist pen; so, it is to talk about making the sharp pen have a difference in vertical and horizontal expansion and contraction; turning, referring to grasping the gesture of making the turn have a tortuous loop; and using it, that is, point painting has a rule of giving way to the back. Integrate the above methods and compound them (one way)
Cursive commentary
In one way; the compilation of the work, intricate and mysterious, the untouched by the predecessors, the enlightenment of the later learning in the rules; peeping at its roots, analyzing its branches. Your envoys are reasonable and clear, and the traces are clear; the scrolls can be clear, and there is no delay in the next pen. Rhetoric is not exhaustive.
Now, we should study barnyard
Translated herein
Compound a way; arrange and list the strengths of all the families; stagger and synthesize the subtleties of various schools, point out the shortcomings of the top masters, inspire the later learning to master the correct laws; deeply explore the root causes and analyze the genres to which they belong. Strive to be concise in words, appropriate in theory, clear in regulations, simple and easy to understand; after reading, you can understand and grasp, and the next pen is smooth and without any lag. As for those strange theories and strange words, this is not what this article is about. What I want to describe now, however, is to be of benefit to future scholars.
Cursive commentary
he who. However, the Book of the Right Army, called Xi, can be used as a master craftsman, and it is taken as a standing finger. But the past will be through the present, and it will be a deep harmony of feelings. As a result, the imitation is becoming more and more widespread, the study of the years is more and more famous, and most of them are scattered; the generations of lonely Shao, not its effect? Try to explain the reason, a little bit of meaning: stop like "Music."
Translated herein
Among the calligraphers of the past, Wang Xizhi's handwriting has been praised and studied by all generations, and can be used as a master to imitate it, from which he can obtain the direction of creating calligraphy. Wang Xizhi's calligraphy not only understands the past and the present, but also has a deep interest and harmonious penmanship. As a result, the number of people who imitate Tuo is getting more and more every day, and the number of people who study is getting more and more every year; most of the handwriting of famous masters before and after Wang Xi is scattered and lost, and only he has been handed down from generation to generation. Let's talk about why, and briefly describe a few points. Only in the "Treatise on Le Yi"
Cursive commentary
Yi Theory", "Huang Ting Jing", "Oriental Shuo Painting Praise", "Tai Shi Zhen", "Lan Ting Collection", "Oath Text", and "Si He Passed on from generation to generation, and the true deeds are also perfect. Writing "Le Yi" is more emotional than Buddha; the book "Painting Praise" is meant to involve Gems; the "Huang Ting Jing" is yi yi yi nihilistic; and the "Tai Shi Zhen" is also contested
Translated herein
The Treatise on Le Yi, the Huang Ting Jing, the Oriental Shuo Painting Praise, the Taishi Zhen, the Lanting Collection, and the Confession of Oaths are all secular and are the best models for calligraphy and writing. When writing "The Theory of Le Yi", the mood is not comfortable, and there are many melancholy; when writing "Oriental Shuo Painting Praise", the mood is magnificent and the imagination is bizarre; when writing the "Huangting Jing", the spirit is happy, if it enters the virtual realm; when writing "Taishi Zhen", the feelings are agitated and the world is tortuous
Cursive commentary
Folding; and "Lan Ting" xingji, Thinking Yi Shen Chao, private door oath, emotional and tragic. The so-called music-related party laughs, and the words have sighed. However, if you want to flow the waves, you will play the music of the whispering; the gods are shining, and the text of Fang Sizao is painted. Although he witnessed the existence of the Dao, he was still confused. Mo is not strong in the name of the body
Translated herein
When it comes to Lan Tingxing's preface, he is free-spirited and full of interest; he vows not to go out of the mountains to become an official, but he has a deep heart and a miserable will. It is the so-called laughter when rejoicing and joy overflowing into words, and sighing when pouring out sorrow comes from the chest. Isn't it only when the flow of the waves can play a gentle movement; when the spirit is galloping, it will ponder the rhetoric of Hua Han. Although you can understand the truth by seeing it, it is inevitable that the confusion in the heart will be wrong. Therefore, they are all reluctantly divided into names
Cursive commentary
Practice partitions. Do you know what you are saying, and take the meaning of the wind and turmoil; Yang Shu Yin is miserable, which is the heart of heaven and earth. Both lose their feelings, reason to be obedient, caused by the original husband, an has a body!
The formula used by the husband, although it is set by himself and the scale, the faith belongs to the present, the difference is one hao, the loss is thousands of miles, and it is known
Translated herein
Distinguish between the good and the bad for people to learn. Do you know that the interest is inspired by excitement, and must be expressed through language, expressing the same purpose as the "Book of Poetry" and "Chu Ci"; when the sun is shining, you will feel comfortable, and when the clouds are dark, you will feel depressed. These ministries are due to the temporal changes of nature. That kind of practice is contrary to the wishes of the writer and does not correspond to the truth. From the original calligraphy, what genre is there!
Although the method of transporting the pen lies in their own mastery, the entire scale layout is indeed the immediate arrangement priority. The key stroke is only a millimeter, and the artistic effect may be thousands of miles away. If you understand
Cursive commentary
Its technique can be combined. The heart is not tired, and the hands are not forgotten. If the application is perfect, the rules are familiar with the mind, the natural tolerance and wandering, the intention is to write first, the dashing and wandering, the Hanyi god flies, and the heart of the sheep is also like the heart of the sheep, and the foresight is endless; the eyes of The Ding Ding, do not see the whole cattle. If there is a good thing, I will learn it, and I will take the outline roughly, and teach it with all my heart, and I will not forget what I have done, even if I am not exhausted by all the techniques, and I will be extremely severe
Translated herein
If you understand the tricks, you can communicate with each other. The heart is tireless, and the hands do not forget their familiarity. If the pen reaches a degree of proficiency, the rules can be hidden in the chest, and naturally you can be free and horizontal, meaning that after the pen is written first, it is flowing and falling, and the gesture is flowing and flying. Like Sang Hong Sheep's financial management (shrewd and capable, well-planned), the mind is raised in all parties; and like Ku Ding slaughtering cattle (familiar with bones, with a sharp knife), there is no cow in his eyes. There were calligraphers who studied with me, so they simply cited the essentials of the pen knot and taught them practical techniques, so they all understood and silently received the will. Even if you can't fully appreciate the strengths of each family, you can still achieve the deepest attainments you have explored. ）
Cursive commentary
As you know.
If you think about it, it is better to be young than to be old; to learn the rules, it is better to be old than to be young. Thinking is old and better, and learning is less and more encouraging. Reluctantly, there are three times; from time to time, it is extremely divided. As for beginners to distribute, but to seek flatness; both know flat and positive
Translated herein
But it is also possible to attain the deepest attainment (explored)." ）
When it comes to thinking deeply and understanding the basic rules, teenagers are not as good as the elderly; if you start from scratch and learn the general rules, the elderly are not as good as the teenagers. In research and exploration, the older you are, the more you can get its subtlety; and when you study hard, the younger you are, the more you have the conditions to forge ahead. The encouragement to forge ahead must go through three periods; each period will produce important changes that will eventually bring the art of calligraphy to a very high level. For example, when you first learn the layout of branches, the Lord requires a smooth and square font; since you have mastered the law of flatness.
Cursive commentary
We must pursue the danger, and we can eliminate the danger and return to peace. At first, it is not enough, but it is passed in the middle, and then it is a general meeting, and when the meeting is over, everyone is old. ZhongNiyun: "Fifty knowing the fate", "Seventy from the heart." "Therefore, with the feeling of danger, the way of changing the body and power, and the plan and then move, the movement is not inappropriate; when the words are said, the words will be reasonable."
It is the right army
Translated herein
The focus is on pursuing the dangers of the situation; if you are skilled in dangerous strokes, you must re-emphasize the law of flat side correction. In the early stage, it can be said that it has not yet reached the level of normality, and in the middle period, it will be too dangerous, and only in the later stage can it truly achieve peace, and the art of calligraphy is perfected in the stage of old age, so people also enter the old age period. Confucius said: Only when one is fifty years old can one understand the Mandate of Heaven, and when one is seventy years old, one can do whatever one wants. Therefore, only the elderly can grasp the situation of peace and danger, and experience the truth of change. Therefore, it is not improper to act after everything is well considered; only when the time is right to speak can it be realistic.
Wang Xizhi's exquisite calligraphy
Cursive commentary
The book, the last year is more wonderful, when the fate of the thoughts, peace of mind, not agitated, and the wind rules are far away. Zi Jing has descended, do not drum up the nu effort, mark the body, do not work alone, but also the one who is hanging in the air. Either they despise what they do, or they despise their deeds. The self-absorbed will be poor
Translated herein
Most of the exquisite calligraphy (of Wang Xizhi) comes from the later years, because at this time the thinking is prudent, the ambition and elegance are calm, not extreme or sharp, so the style is far-reaching. Since the dedication, it is necessary to encourage the posture of lack of skill, and to set a new standard, and to manipulate the body, not only is the work and use inferior to the predecessors, but also the spirit and taste are also very different. Some people despise their ink, and some people boast about their books. People who like to boast will continue to be diligent due to lack of diligence
Cursive commentary
The sexual realm is absolutely the way to temptation; the self-contemptible person is still subservient, and there must be a reason for it. There is no learning but cannot, and there are no ones who do not learn and can also. The examination is a matter of fact, and the judgment can be clear.
However, the news is multi-party, the temperament is different, and the first gang is soft and soft, and the work is scattered. Or idyllic grace, connotation tendons
Translated herein
(People who like to boast will cut off the road to progress due to lack of continued diligence), and those who think that they are not good always want to encourage themselves to move forward and will definitely achieve the goal of success. Indeed, only learning is unsuccessful, and those who do not learn will succeed. Observe the reality and you will understand this.
However, there are many factors in the change of the book body, the performance of personality and emotion is not consistent, the rigidity and softness are kneaded into one, and they will be divided due to slow and rapid migration; some are idyllic and graceful, and the connotation is bone-chilling
Cursive commentary
bone; or broken maple, outer edge. Those who observe it are still refined, and those who imitate it are similar. The situation cannot be similar, the inspection cannot be refined, the distribution is sparse, and the shape of the skeleton has not been picked up; the state of the leaping spring, the failure to see its beauty, the talk of peeping into the well, has heard its ugliness. Indulge in tang sudden sacrifices, slander Zhong Zhang, and An can hide it
Translated herein
Some of them are twisted and crisscrossed, exposing their edges. Be careful when observing, and similar when imitating. If the imitation cannot be similar, the observation cannot be fine, the distribution is still loose, and the interstitial frame is difficult to conform to the norm; then it is impossible to show the ethereal style of the fish leaping over the spring, but I have heard the superficial and vulgar comments of sitting in the well and watching the sky. Even if it is the use of means to belittle Xizhi and dedicate it, and the language of slandering Zhong Xuan and Zhang Zhi, it cannot hide the people's eyes at that time.
Cursive commentary
The eye of the year, the mouth of the future! It is especially advisable to be cautious among those who are admiring. Until there is no enlightenment drowning, partial pursuit of the disease; can not be quick, the effect is delayed. The speed of the husband, the opportunity of super escape, the late, the reward. Will do the opposite, do the best of the best; concentrate on drowning in the late
Translated herein
Nor can it hide the eyes of the people of that year and block the mouths and tongues of later scholars; those who appreciate calligraphy should especially be careful to identify. Some people do not understand the drowning of the pen, so they one-sidedly pursue the disease; or they cannot swing quickly, and deliberately imitate the delay. You know, the momentum of the gesture is the key to the performance of super ethereal; the late gesture
Cursive commentary
It's amazing. Can be fast, the so-called drowning; because it is late, it will be rewarded! It is not his heart that is idle and sensitive, and it is difficult to understand both.
If the multitude is in the same place, keep the bones, and the bones are there, and the bones are added. It is also like the branches are sparse, the frost and snow are strong, and the flowers and leaves are lush, and the clouds and the sun are in phase
Translated herein
It has a pleasing feeling. If you can do it quickly and late, you will reach the realm of gathering beauty; if you indulge in staying, you will eventually lose the magic of flowing and enjoying. Can be fast or not, called drowning, slow writing and blind pursuit of slow, how can it be called pleasing to the heart! If the writing is not a relaxed state of mind and skillful techniques, it is difficult to achieve both speed and effectiveness.
If you can make the wisdom of the pen to be summarized, you must be committed to the pursuit of bone qi, bone qi establishment, but also must be integrated with the quality of vigorous and rounded. It's like a tree with branches, which will look stronger after frost and snow, and the bright and fragrant flowers and leaves will occasionally reflect the snow and red sun
Cursive commentary
sunshine. If its bone strength is more, and the li cover is less, if the dry maple frame is dangerous, the boulder is the road, although the beauty of the clouds, but the physique is preserved. If Li Li is superior, the bone qi will be inferior, for example, the husband Fang Lin falls, the air shines and there is no dependence; Lan Numa Drift ping, the green and xituo. It is easy to know the deviation of work
Translated herein
Nature is more delicate. If the bone strength of the word is too much, the beautiful temperament is less, just like the dry book is erected at a dangerous place, and the boulder is blocked in the middle of the road; although it lacks charm, the physique still exists. If Wan Li has the advantage, then the bone qi will be weak, similar to the folded Yingrui in the hundred flowers, empty and beautiful and without support; like the duckweed floating in the blue pond, it is verdant and has no foundation. It can be seen that it is easier to do a partial work
Cursive commentary
Perfection is hard to come by. Although the xuezong family has become multi-body, they do not follow their sexual desires, so they think that they are posture: those who are straight and straight are not shy; those who are rigid are stubborn; those who are reserved are disadvantaged by restraint; those who are out of touch are out of the rules; those who are gentle are hurt by softness, those who are impetuous and courageous are too plagiarized; and those who are suspicious
Translated herein
And perfection is hard to find. Although the master learns the same calligraphy, it will evolve into a variety of physical appearances, and it is necessary to show a variety of different styles according to his personality and hobbies: people with a straight temperament, the book is strong and straight, but lack of beauty; people with strong personalities, the pen is stubborn and sharp and lack round; people who are reserved and self-restrained, with the pen is too restrained; people who are slippery and debauched often deviate from the rules; people with gentle personalities, the problem is soft; people with a short temper are rough and urgent; people who are suspicious in nature
Cursive commentary
Drowned in stagnation; the late and heavy are finally dull; the frivolous are quenched by the vulgar. Si Ji is a loner, and he is playful.
"Yi" said: "Look at astronomy to observe the changes of time; look at humanities, in order to transform into the world." "The book is wonderful, and it is close to the body." If the application is not thorough, it is still lost in the mystery; and the waves are already dredged
Translated herein
Then it is indulged in stagnation and jerkiness; people who are slow and clumsy are eventually confused by dullness; people who are light and trivial are mostly influenced by literary and vulgar officials. These are unique people who deviate from the norm because they insist on one end.
The I Ching says: "By looking at astronomy, you can perceive the changes in the natural time sequence; understanding the cultural phenomena of human society can be used to educate and govern the world." "Moreover, the magic of calligraphy is often taken from the characteristics of the person's own appearance. If the use of penmanship is not thorough, and the mysteries are not mastered, it must be repeatedly practiced to discover and accumulate experience
Cursive commentary
Originated in Lingtai. Will be able to pass through the love of dot painting, bo study the principle of perseverance, cast insect seals, pottery grass. The combination of the five materials of the body is not extreme; like the overlap of the eight tones, the sense will be square. If the number is drawn and applied, its shape is different; the dots are listed in unison, and the body is obedient to each other. One point is a rule of one word, and one word is the criterion of the final chapter. Violation without offense, and not
Translated herein
Activate the mind to direct the pen in your hand. To learn books, you must know how to make dot painting reflect the interest, comprehensively study the principle of pen closing, integrate the wonders of insect books and seal books, and condense the rhyme of cursive and lishu. I realize that using five materials to make utensils, the shapes of the shapes are of course different; like composing music with eight tones, the feeling of playing will be endless. If several strokes are placed together, their shapes are different; several points are arranged together, and the posture should also be different. The first point at the beginning is a full-word example, and the first word in the opening paragraph is the full-width guideline. The strokes are stretched and do not invade each other, and the knots are harmonious with each other (not completely consistent)
Cursive commentary
Same; stay is not often late, dispatch is not constant disease; with dry fangrun, will be thick and dry; rules in the square circle, the curve of the hook rope; at first glance, obscure, if the line is hidden; poor perverted in the slightest, reasonable on the paper; in the heart of the heart, forget the kaize; can be back to the sacrifice without loss, against the clock and still work. For example, Fu Dai
Translated herein
(The knots are harmonious with each other and) are not completely consistent; the pen does not feel sluggish, the rapid pen does not flow in the slippery speed; there is wetness in the middle of the dry pen, and the thick ink is dry; not according to the ruler can make the square circle moderate, abandon the hook and rope criterion and make the curve straight and appropriate; make the front suddenly reveal and hide, if the luck is not stopped, the font form changes at the end of the pen, and the author feels the mood on the paper; the heart and hand are corresponding, without restraint. Nature can deviate from the laws of Xizhi and Dedication without making mistakes, and violating the norms of Zhong Xuan and Zhang Zhi is still very good. It's like a tree
Cursive commentary
Shu Qingqin, special posture and beauty; Sui Shu and Bi, heterogeneous tongyan. Why carve a crane and a dragon, but be ashamed of the real body; get a fish and a rabbit, and be a hoof.
The Wenfu family has the appearance of Nanwei, which can be discussed with Shuyuan; there is the benefit of Longquan, and then it is discussed in severance. Overspeaking, really tired cardinal
Translated herein
The two women, Daishu and Qingdao, were very beautiful, although their appearances were different; the two treasures of Suihou Zhizhu and Heshi Bi, although different in shape, were extremely precious. Why must we deliberately draw cranes and dragons to make the natural body greatly inferior; if we have caught fish and hunted rabbits, why should we be stingy with the tools we have caught!
I had heard this saying that only when there was a beautiful woman like Nanwei in the family could discuss the woman's posture; only when I got the Longquan Sword could I test the sharpness of other swords. This is too much to say, and in fact it binds people's ideas to expound their arguments.
Cursive commentary
I have tried to write a book, saying that it is very compatible, and when it is called a knower, it is quoted: among them, qiaoli, who has not left his eyes, or who has made mistakes, and has been rewarded. What is seen is especially what is heard, or it is high in age, and it is light to be condemned. Yu is pretending to be Xiang Miao
Translated herein
I used to write a book with all my heart, and I thought it was very well written. When I met someone who was known as knowledgeable in the world, I took it out and asked him for advice. However, he did not pay much attention to those who wrote exquisitely and beautifully; but he was admired for those who wrote poorly. When they were confronted with the works they saw, They could not distinguish between the merits and demerits of them, and commented on them based on the rumors that they knew who was a celebrity, that is, they pretended to be recognized. Some even have a high status of age and ridicule. So I made a falsehood and framed the work in silk
Cursive commentary
The title is based on the ancient eye: then the sage changes his mind, the fool follows the voice, the wonder of the end of the high, the loss of the rare front; the good and false of the Marquis of Juhui, like the fear of Ye Gong. It is the breath of the Zhibozi, covered with a reason. Fu Cai Yong is not falsely rewarded, Sun
Translated herein
Titled on the name of the ancients. As a result, those who claimed to be knowledgeable changed their views after seeing it, and those who did not understand calligraphy also echoed it, competing to appreciate the wonderful tone of the pen, and rarely talked about the mistakes of writing. Just like Huihou, who likes counterfeits, it is different from Ye Gong's fear of true dragons. Therefore, it can be seen that it is indeed reasonable that the broken string of the tooth will no longer play. That Cai Yong (for the piano material) appreciation is not wrong, Bo Le (for the horse)
Cursive commentary
Yang does not care for those who are proficient in xuanjian, so they do not lag in the eyes and ears. Xiang Zhiyin is in the gong, and the sound of the strange sound is heard; the yizu is ambushed, and whoever knows its peerless group is not enough to say, and the bole is not yet shangye.
Until the old grandmother encounters the title fan, the first complaint
Translated herein
The reason why they have true knowledge and discernment is that they are not limited to ordinary hearing and witnessing. If the good piano material is burned, and the mediocre people can marvel at its wonderful sound; in the stables of the Thousand Mile Horse, the ignorant can also see that it is different from the horses, then Cai Yong is not worthy of praise, and Bo Le does not need to be respected.
As for Wang Xizhi's inscription for the old woman who sold fans, the old woman initially complained
Cursive commentary
Then please; the protégé receives a few books, the father cuts and the son is frustrated; knows and does not know. The husband succumbs to not knowing himself, but to himself; he does not know, and he is strange! Therefore, Zhuangzi said: "The fungus does not know obscurity, and the cockroach does not know spring and autumn." Lao Ziyun: "Corporal Smell."
Translated herein
Later, he asked for a few inscriptions on Wang Xizhi's bed, but his father scraped them off, much to his son's chagrin. This shows that knowing calligraphy is very different from not understanding calligraphy! Another example is a literati who will be wronged by those who do not understand himself, and will feel relieved in those who know himself; it is also because some people do not understand reason at all. Therefore, Zhuangzi said: "The fungus that is born in the early morning and the sun rises and dies, I don't know how long the day is; the cockroaches (commonly known as black cicadas) that die in summer and autumn do not know that there are four seasons in a year." Lao Tzu said, "The unknowable hear about the sermons.
Cursive commentary
The Tao, laugh out loud; if you don't laugh, it is not enough for the Tao. How can you cling to the ice and blame the summer worms! ”
Since the Han and Wei dynasties have come, there have been many commentators, and there are many miscellaneous articles, and article disputes: or recounting the old chapters, which are not different from the past; or Gou Xingxin said that it is not beneficial to the future; the disciples are rich and prosperous, and the que are still que. It is now written as six
Translated herein
(Lao Tzu said, "When an unsavory person hears about the Tao, he will lose his voice and laugh, and if he does not laugh, it will not be enough to call the Tao." "How can you take the snow and ice of winter and accuse the summer bugs of not knowing the cold!"
Since the Han and Wei dynasties, there have been many people who have discussed calligraphy, mixed good and bad, and numerous articles. Or repeat the views of the predecessors, without new ideas to supplement the past; or rashly create another theory, it is not beneficial to the future; make the cumbersome more cumbersome, and the missing ones are still blank. I've written six today
Cursive commentary
The chapter is divided into two volumes, the first of which is used, the name of the book, the shu family is backward, the scale is given; the four seas know the sound, or the province of Cunguan; the purpose of the secret, the rest of the take.
Three years of writing
Translated herein
(Now I have written six) chapters, divided into two volumes, listing the work in turn, and named it "Book Notation". It is expected to be passed on to later generations and applied as a rule of calligraphy art; it is also expected that the world will know the voice, or it may be used as a reference. Keeping my life's experience secret, I don't approve of it.
Written in the third year of the Arch (687 AD).
