Liu Gongquan was smart when he was a child and loved calligraphy. He writes very well. He often shows off in front of others and always thinks he writes well. One day, Liu Gongquan got together with some friends. Book club? An old man selling tofu saw it and thought the child was too proud. He frowned and said? This word is not well written, just like my tofu, soft and flat, spineless and boneless. Is it worth praising in front of people? Xiao Gongquan said unhappily, if you can, write me some words. ?
The old man said with a smile? Dare not, dare not, I am a clown, I can't write well. However, some people write with their feet much better than you! Go to the city if you don't believe me. ?
The next day, Xiao Gongquan got a vigil and went to town alone. As soon as he entered the city, he saw many people gathered around a big locust tree. He squeezed into the crowd and saw a black and thin old man who had lost his arms, barefoot, sitting on the ground, with his left foot pressing paper and his right foot holding a pen, writing couplets with ease, and winning applause from the onlookers.
Small public rights? Plop? Kneel in front of the old man and say, I would like to worship you as a teacher. Can you tell me the secret of writing? The old man quickly pulled Xiao Gongquan up with his feet and said, I am a lonely person. I was born without hands and can only live by my feet. How can I be a teacher? Xiao Gongquan begged, and the old man spread a piece of paper on the ground and wrote a few words with his right foot: write eight cylinders of water, and the inkstone was dyed black in the waterlogged pool; If you win hundreds of parents, you will get a phoenix in Yi Long. ?
Liu Gongquan kept the old man's words in mind and worked hard to practice calligraphy. Thick cocoons were ground on the hands and the elbows were patched layer by layer. After hard training, Liu Gongquan finally became a famous calligrapher in China.
Liu Gongquan's allusions are famous for avoiding arrogance and rashness
When Liu Gongquan was a child, his handwriting was terrible, and he was often scolded by his husband and father for his crooked handwriting. Xiao Gongquan is very strong and determined to practice his handwriting well. After more than a year of hard work day and night, his calligraphy has made great progress. Compared with his friends of the same age in Liu Jiayuan, the word public rights has become the best in the village. Since then, his big characters have been praised by classmates and teachers, and even the stern father has a smile on his face, which makes Xiao Gongquan feel very proud.
There's someone outside
One day, Liu Gongquan and some friends laid a square table under an old mulberry tree near the village. Book club? Everyone agrees that everyone should write a block letter and watch each other's game. Gong Quan soon wrote an article. At this time, an old man selling tofu brain put down his burden and came to the mulberry tree to enjoy the cool. He watched the children practice calligraphy with great interest. Liu Gongquan handed over his handwriting and said? Grandpa, do you think my writing is great? The old man took a look and saw what was written on it. I can write about the Feifeng family and dare to boast in front of people. ? The old man thought the child was too proud, frowned and hesitated for a moment before saying, I think this word is not well written and it is not worth boasting in front of others. This word is like a tofu in my burden. It is soft, heartless and intangible. Is it worth bragging about in front of people? Several friends stopped writing and listened carefully to the old man's comments. Xiao Gongquan saw the old man make a mess of his words and said unconvinced. People say my handwriting is good, but you can't. Write a few words if you can. ?
The old man smiled brightly and said, no, no! My father is a boor and can't write well. However, some people write with their feet much better than you! If you don't believe me, go to Huajing! ?
The next day, he got up at five o'clock, quietly left a note for his family and went to the capital of China with his bag on his back. As soon as Liu Gongquan entered Shoumen, the capital of China, he saw a deformed old man with black rod and no arms, sitting barefoot on the ground, his left foot pressing the paper lying on the ground, and his right foot pressing a large sum of money, writing couplets with ease. His pen is like a god, and his words are like a galloping horse, which won the cheers of onlookers. Xiao Gongquan was ashamed to think: I am really far behind the grandfather who writes, draws and makes soup. Him? Plop? Kneel in front of grandpa and say, I would like to worship you as a teacher. My name is Liu Gongquan. Please accept me. Can the master tell me the secret of writing?
Xiao Gongquan begged again and again, and the old man said to Gongquan, This is the secret of my writing. I have been writing with my feet since I was a child, and I have been practicing for more than fifty years. My family has a big vat that can hold eight barrels of water. Eight cylinders of water were used when grinding ink and practicing calligraphy. There is a waterlogging pool half an acre outside my wall. I wash the inkstone in the pool every day after writing. The water in the pool is black. However, my calligraphy practice is far from perfect! ? Liu Gongquan firmly engraved the old man's words in his heart. Since then, Liu Gongquan has worked hard to practice calligraphy, grinding thick cocoons on his hands and mending his elbows layer by layer. He learned the beauty and richness of Yan style, the openness and elegance of European style, the boldness and boldness of calligraphy and painting soup, and the elegance and charm of palace style. He often watches others pick sheep from cattle and study the skeleton structure, from which he gets inspiration. He also observed wild geese in the sky, fish swimming in the water, running elk and runaway wild horses, and integrated all kinds of beautiful forms of nature into calligraphy art.
Liu Gongquan eventually became a famous calligrapher in Tang Dynasty in China. His calligraphy structure is rigorous, combining rigidity with softness, generous and open, which is cherished by calligraphy circles. Yan gu? Good name. But Liu Gongquan was still very dissatisfied with his calligraphy until he was old. In his later years, he lived in seclusion in the stork valley (now called Liugou) in the south of Huajing City, specializing in calligraphy and diligently practicing calligraphy until his death at the age of 88.

Why don't I take this opportunity to convince him?
So he said to Tang Muzong:? To write, you must hold the pen first. The key to using a pen lies in the heart. If the heart is right, the pen can be right! This is the same as national affairs, and you can't do it without heart! ? Hearing Liu Gongquan's words, Tang Muzong knew that he was trying to convince himself with his brushwork, and he couldn't help blushing.
