The issue of "words are like people" has always puzzled me. Some time ago, I asked Uncle Qiuye this question in the part-answer session. I think Uncle Qiuye's answer is very reasonable, and it also gave me a new understanding of "words are like people", so I share it with everyone.

Uncle Qiuye is the founder of Qiuye PPT and Knowledge IP Base Camp. Fenda is a knowledge service platform.

I asked him in the part-answer session: "Is it true that the handwriting is like the person it is written? What can the quality of a person's handwriting indicate?"

The following is Uncle Qiuye's handwriting. Answer——

“We often associate a person’s ability and talent with his character. It seems that if a person’s character is well written, his character will be good. In fact, in the history of art, The works of many talented people are touching, but in life they can be measured by the word "scum". Speaking of calligraphy works, Cai Jing of the Northern Song Dynasty and Kang Sheng of our dynasty all wrote superb calligraphy. Good, but historically they have been regarded as people who have done great negative harm to society. I think that if a person writes well, it shows that he is willing to persist in practicing a skill and is more perseverant than ordinary people. If he persists, he will be more likely to achieve greater success in his career. This logic can be established."

Speaking of Cai Jing, whose courtesy name was Yuan Chang, he was born in Xianyou (Fujian), Xinghua, Northern Song Dynasty. He died in 1047 and died in 1126. He served as prime minister four times and stayed in power for seventeen years. During his tenure, he set up the Yingfeng Bureau and the Zaozuo Bureau, and carried out the Huashigang Campaign; built Yanfu Palace and Genyue, which cost tens of thousands; set up the "Xicheng Land Acquisition Office" to raid people's fields; in order to make up for the financial deficit, he changed the salt law and tea ceremony The law was worth ten coins, the currency system was in chaos, and the people were filled with resentment. People at that time called him "the leader of the six thieves". In the first year of Jingkang (1126), Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty came to the throne. Cai Jing was demoted to Lingnan and died in Tanzhou (now Changsha) on the way.

Kang Sheng (1898-1975), whose original name was Zhang Zongke, also known as Shaoqing and pen name Lu Chishui, was from Shandong. Served as Vice Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. During the revolutionary war years, he led secret front work for a long time; he died of illness in Beijing in 1975. Kang Sheng was good at collecting and appreciating cultural relics. He was good at calligraphy and Chinese painting and had extremely high artistic attainments.
