(2) Facts demonstrate the calligrapher's "Mo Chi".
Mo Chi, a famous calligrapher in history, has been practicing the basic skills of calligraphy since childhood. There are two places: one is Mo Chi by Zhang Zhi, in Jiuquan, Gansu. Zhang Zhi was a famous calligrapher in the Eastern Han Dynasty. At that time, people were respectfully called "pen sage" and "grass sage". He practiced calligraphy diligently for many years and honed his basic skills. He often washes pens and inkstones by the pool. As a result, the pool was washed black and the color was like ink, so he was called "Mo Chi".
Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher in Jin Dynasty, also has a picture of Mo Chi in his residence in Huiji, Yin Shan (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang). Wang Xizhi studied calligraphy with calligrapher Wei Yiren (Master) since childhood, knowing the importance of hard training in basic skills. /kloc-started learning calligraphy at the age of 0/2. When you grow up, you should carefully copy the calligraphy of famous artists, because you can't stop practicing calligraphy, and you should wash your pens and inkstones in the front pool. Over time, the clear pond will become a pool of ink. Because of his emphasis on the foundation and solid basic skills, he later reached the peak of calligraphy and was honored as a "book saint". He is good at everything, especially regular books and running scripts. His Preface to Lanting Collection has always been rated as "the best running script in the world".
Grind the stone into pulp.
Qi Baishi has three unique skills: painting, writing poetry and seal cutting. His seal cutting layout is peculiar and simple, and his knife method is vigorous and unique. But when he first learned seal cutting, he always failed, either because his knife was broken or his stone knife was destroyed, which often didn't matter. He asked Tie An, a seal engraver. Tie An said to him, "You take a load of stones washed by Nanquan, carve and polish them, grind a load of stones into pulp, and the seal will be engraved."
Qi Baishi told the truth: "This requires me to practice basic skills!" So, I picked up a stone from Nanquan and carved, ground and ground it day after day, day after day, year after year. His seal cutting finally made progress in the long-term sharpening and finally reached the point of perfection. As well as his paintings and poems, are praised by the world.
Menser practices painting.
Mencer, a famous German oil painter and printmaker, taught himself to be a painter. He usually practices the basic skills of painting very hard to the point of fanaticism. One day, people saw him sitting next to a stinking ditch, and pedestrians were surprised: can't you sit next to the stinking ditch when you are resting? Take a closer look, it turns out that he is concentrating on painting! He accidentally soiled his shoes when crossing the ditch just now. Now he is absorbed in painting his shoes with mud. Manser takes a brush with him wherever he goes. Draw if you are interested, and never leave your pen. Someone said to him, "You probably have painting mania?" Menser replied humorously, "I hope my illness is terminal."
