Pei Min, a native of Kaiyuan in the Tang Dynasty, was also one of the "Three Musts" in the Tang Dynasty. A person's swordsmanship can be compared with Li Bai's poems and songs and Zhang Xu's Wild Grass, which shows that his skill is very superb.
According to the Independent, "During the Kaiyuan period, General Pei Min lost his mother. Yi Daozi (painting Saint Wu Daozi), please draw some walls of ghosts and gods in the Tiangong Temple in Dudong to help you. Tao Zi replied, "This painting has been abandoned for a long time. If the general is interested, struggle for me. Dance sword. "Because of the intense stimulation, you will cross the nether world. So take off your clothes, and if you always do this, decorate it. Ma Rufei, left-handed and right-handed, threw his sword into the clouds dozens of feet high. If lightning strikes down, the sword is carried by the sheath and enters from the air. Thousands of people watched, all chilling, and the Taoist priest helped the wall, which was spectacular for the world. Daozi painted all his life. There is no reason to be proud. "
According to "Famous Paintings of Past Dynasties", the painter Wu Daozi saw Pei Min's sword dance, so he "completed the struggle against monsters, but" made great progress ".
The poet Wang Wei once praised with a poem "To General Pei Min":
There is a seven-star sword on the waist and a bow on the arm.
I didn't know there was a general in the sky until I saw that I had captured Lu in the clouds.
Li Bai, whose word is too white, is also called "immortal" and "poet". Li Bai's poems are mainly lyrical. He is the first poet who can really absorb and improve from the folk literature and art at that time and Yuefu folk songs since Qin, Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties, and form his own unique style. Among the poets in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Wang Wei and Meng Haoran were good at five-character poems, while Wang Changling was good at seven-character poems. Li Bai is the only one who combines five sentences and seven sentences to the extreme and can do both to the extreme.
Among the cursive scripts, Zhang Xu is the first one. His cursive scripts are known to people who have never studied calligraphy. Zhang Xu, like Li Bai, likes drinking. After drinking, he started his "performance art". He went crazy and ran around like a madman, but it didn't matter. The important thing is that Zhang picked up a pen and wrote with a brush, so cursive script was born. Zhang Xu is free and easy, generous, outstanding, brilliant and knowledgeable. Together with Li Bai, He, Li, Li Jin, Cui Zongzhi, Jiao Sui, they are collectively called drinking. Zhang Xu's calligraphy began with Zhangzhi and Erwang, with cursive script as the highest achievement.
