"Writing Notes"
Tang Han Fangming
There are five types of husband's pens, and most of them are no more than five or six inches long. They are expensive and easy to use.
First executive. The beauty of the husband's book lies in the management, both with two-finger buds (same as "wrap", embrace.) to manage, but also as the five-finger co-holding, it must "actually refers to the empty palm, hook (yè, same as "擪".) (Jié) "Send" is also called "Send to Send" to prepare for oral transmission. The secular world is based on a single finger, but it is insufficient and lacking in spirit. Every point of the painting, although there is a solution, should not be used. He said, "Flat wrists and double buds. Empty palms and real fingers, nothing can be added."
The second █ (zhuó, [Jiyun] Shijiao cut, Yinyun. Ci also. Same as "shun".) Guan, also known as "zhuoguan". It is said that the five fingers have a total of █ at the end, the pen is urgent, the book without a body, or it is used in grass (gǎo). Nowadays, the five-finger █ tube is often used in the world, but there is no bones and bones, and caution is not effective.
The third tube. It is said that the use of five fingers to summarize the end of the tube, but the use of large cursive script or book pictures (the whole silk cloth with words and sentences on it) is also the same as the clumsy tube.
The fourth grip tube. It is said that the twisting fist is held in the palm, and the wrist is suspended with the elbow to help the book. Or the cloud originated from Zhuge Dan (General Cao Wei, Zhuge Liang's clan brother.), when leaning on the column book, the thunderbolt cracked, and the book continued. When using strong energy, the rate should be used to control the book, which is not used by the scholars. The queen Sengqian (Liu Song and Nan Qi calligraphers during the Southern and Northern Dynasties) used this method to cover the difference from others, not the original. Recently, Zhang Congshen (calligrapher of the Tang Dynasty) was clumsy, but he laughed.
The fifth 搦 (nuò) tube. It is said that from the first finger (index finger) to the little finger, the tube is held in the first and second knuckles. There are different generations who use plagiarism for popular books and pictures, or use them as simple and simple, which is very strange, and this is not a matter of calligraphers.
Xu Gong (Xu Jing (shú), Han Fangming's teacher. One said that Xu Hao (Xu Jihai), Fang Ming was born in 785, with a horrible death in 782, wrong.) Said: He wrote before the middle festival of the big finger, and moved to turn it. Circumstances, with the head pointing to the middle finger, and help as a force. Refers to the natural reality, the palm is naturally empty. Although you must use it freely. Nowadays, everyone puts the pen in time, hindering its rotation, fisting and fisting. The more anxious the situation is, the more stagnant it becomes, and there is nothing to do with the rules.
He also said: The husband's pen cares about stability, and the use of pen cares about lightness. Therefore, the lightness must be heavy, and it must be astringent. If it is not astringent, it will be dangerous. If it is too fluid, it will become floating, and floating will be vulgar. Therefore, every dot must be drawn according to the brushwork before it is called a book. It is the same as the relics of the ancients.
He also said: If a husband wants to write a book, he must first think about what words and sentences are in the book, how many words are spoken, and the color of the paper, and what kind of book is compatible with the book. Either true or line or cursive, equivalent to paper. However, it is necessary to use the brushwork before and after the intention. If you want to have a difficult book, arrange it in your heart, and then write it, naturally tolerant and wandering, with a majestic attitude. It must not be temporarily incapable, and nothing can be done by writing.
