Factual arguments

The origin of "Bizhong"

Huai Su, a calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, was famous for his cursive script and was known as the "Sage of Cursive". His cursive writing is powerful and bold, with the potential of "sudden rain and strong wind".

He became a monk when he was young. He planted more than 10,000 banana trees near the temple and picked banana leaves every day to practice calligraphy. When I ran out of banana leaves, I used a light-colored lacquer plate and a square wooden board to practice calligraphy. After the handwriting was full, I erased it and practiced again. Over time, the paint tray and wooden boards were worn through. The walls of the temple, the furniture, and even the cloth used by monks to make cassocks are all covered with writing. He practiced calligraphy diligently every day, used many bald brushes, piled them up and buried them at the foot of the mountain, called the "Bi Zhong".

Lao Dong's walking stick

The old revolutionary Dong Biwu loved calligraphy and practiced calligraphy diligently after his busy work. In his later years he always carried a cane when out in the open air. When you are tired from walking and sit down to rest, you can use your cane as a pen and practice writing on the ground. If you sit high up, you can simply hold your cane like a pen and write in the air. When walking, use a cane to exercise your wrist strength in holding and handling pens. Due to Mr. Dong's diligent study, his calligraphy is beautiful and straight, and he is known as "Dong style".

Yan Jupeng studied opera

Yan Jupeng, the founder of the Yan School of Peking Opera, is a Mongolian, and his ancestors have been military attaches in the Qing Dynasty for several generations. He was particularly interested in the art of Peking Opera when he was studying at the Army Academy. After graduation, he got a small job at Mengzang University. The income was very low, and he had to live a tight life for a family of six. But he tried every means to save money to go to the theater. He especially loved to watch the plays performed by the famous old student Tan Xinpei. No matter it was pouring rain or snowing, he would always go to the theater with spike shoes on his feet and an umbrella in hand, buy the cheapest ticket, and concentrate on watching Tan Xinpei's performance. For more than ten years, without interruption, he has visited all major theaters in Beijing.

Not only did he study Tan Xinpei's performing arts diligently and carefully, he also continued to innovate on the basis of learning from others, and finally formed his own unique style, becoming unique in the Peking Opera world and becoming the founder of the Yan School.

Menzel's "terminal illness"

Aldolf Menzel is a world-famous sketch master. He began to learn painting at the age of 13. He created more than 15,000 sketches and more than 7,000 sketches in his lifetime. These astonishing numbers of works are the result of his hard work. No matter where he goes, he always carries his painting tools with him. You can see him painting everywhere in the streets, alleys, rural fields, and riverside mountain tops. Some people said that he suffered from "slow painting mania". He said happily: "I hope this disease is terminal."

Painted Eggs

Leonardo Da Vinci is one of the most important figures in European literature and art. An outstanding Vietnamese painter in Italy during the Renaissance. He was fond of painting since he was a child, and his father sent him to Florence to learn from the famous painter Frochio. In the first class, the teacher taught him how to draw eggs. He drew one after another for more than ten days, but the teacher still asked him to continue drawing eggs. At this time, Daqi couldn't figure it out, so he asked the teacher: "Why do you always ask me to draw eggs?" The teacher told him: Eggs Although it is paralyzed, nothing is absolutely the same in the world. Even if it is the same egg, the angle is different and the light cast is different. For example, if you raise your head to look higher, or lower your eyes to look lower, the oval outline of the egg will be different. There are differences. Therefore, egg painting is a basic skill. Basic skills must be practiced until you are comfortable.

From then on, Leonardo da Vinci worked hard on basic skills and painted eggs every day. One year, two years, three years... The sketches he used to draw eggs were piled high. After a long period of diligent artistic practice, he finally created many immortal paintings and became a master of his generation.
