Preface of An Zhi Mo Miao

When I was a teenager, I named my study "Jiyuzhai", which means Four Books and Five Classics. A hundred schools of thought contend, and the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are as beautiful as jade, which can be "accumulated over time". So I have a rich collection of books since I was a child. A few years ago, I was in the Jianghu and rented a place by the lake in the south of Green City. Although the room is small, it can face the green hills in the lake. Occasionally I see a flock of seagulls flying on the lake, and sometimes there are lonely birds resting on the eaves. Although the world is big, I have a room that can nourish my soul, hence the name "Yangxinge". Is to build a shed to pile up soil and plant a few epiphyllum. Whenever the moon is white and the wind is clear, I watch epiphyllum. Occasionally spread a mat under the epiphyllum, read a famous article, and then ask a friend to cure it, saying, "Sleeping in the clouds." From then on, I read Li Sao in this room or in the rainy night, or burn incense and sit still, or invite friends to drink tea, or splash ink. During this period, I won numerous fine works, and the silk running script "Back to Xi Ci" won a huge sum of 10 thousand yuan last year. Taste is self-evident, celebrities are romantic, but that's all.

After Yu's infatuation, he named the fasting room "Jade Tube Ice Silk Mountain Room". The bamboo house of Shen, the pavilion of stopping clouds, the beautiful bookstore and the elegant house of Daqian are all entrusted by literati. I tried to invite a friend to be a Yu Di in Yangzhou, but unfortunately it was damaged in transit. I lamented for a few days and bought a pair of silk strings from Mr. Tony in Suzhou and a batch of purple bamboo flutes from Mr. Zou. Every time the piano friends come, they will play the piano and flute together, or sit alone in the quiet night burning incense and fiddling with three or two songs to show their respect. As the old saying goes, seclusion can foster ambition, and poetry and books can entertain themselves. Recently, my friend Gan Yi named his study after Yu: Zhi 'an Jingshe. Take the meaning of the house of the wise.

In recent years, Yu has been fortunate enough to listen to the performances of famous artists such as Wu, Yang Chunwei, Lu, Yu and others in many elegant collections, and get guidance. He was also lucky enough to listen to and learn the piano styles of Wumen, Guanpai, Lingnan, Fan Chuan, Jinling and Jiuyi, and his fingering and piano environment were improved.

After playing the piano for several years, I still like the trilogy "Questions and Answers in the Fishing Forest", "Remembering the Old Friends" and "Wild Goose in Pingsha". Every midnight, when everything is silent, I will burn incense, wash my hands and manipulate. At this time, the bamboo shadow shakes the window, the palace merchants move silently, and the piano people are United.

"Pingsha Wild Goose" solves the problem: "Write Yi Shi's heart with the eyes of swans". "Yuqiao Q&A" answers: "A thousand years of gains and losses, all pay Yuqiao laughter." I suddenly recalled reciting a couplet when I was a child: "A century-old figure has a public opinion, and the world is only ashamed of its name." Today, every time I touch these two songs, I have already expressed my feelings for the ancient sages.

I have read the couplets in San Weng's cursive script, "Plant more bamboos to kiss the gentleman, and each pair of weeping willows will remember their old friends". The artistic conception is simple and remote, reaching the era of people and books. Yu Meicao's song "Remembering the Old Friends" is full of memories, thoughts and lingering feelings, and it has dissolved the ignorance of Weng's pen and ink since the cloud.

A few years ago, Mr. Chen, a family heirloom, personally taught me the techniques of Xingyiquan, Taiji, Eight Diagrams, White Crane and so on, and also taught me the Yijinjing, the mind-washing method of marrow, and the mind-preserving method of Taoism. Then Mr. Yan, a master of Taiji, personally taught me Yang-style Taiji, deeply lamenting the profoundness of Chinese civilization and hating his previous views on the foundation of martial arts, which delayed the time. The way of martial arts must be dictated by the master, not superior. Yesterday, there was the ambition of "smelling chickens and dancing", and there was the ambition of "mounting a horse to attack Hu Kuang, dismounting a horse and writing a military book". Now, in the peaceful and prosperous times, Yu Xiwu has talked about this matter and stood up.

I have studied Buddhist scriptures for many years, especially focusing on the Diamond Sutra, but with little effect, sighing that I am stupid and don't enter the wall. After reading it, I took the title of Jizushan Academy Alliance: "Support the Buddhas with the income, without disturbing the green hills." Awake, awake, good. Since then, every time I wander around the world of mortals, walk, sit and lie down, I never forget Amitabha.

Ok, ok, there is no Amitabha in the south.

I studied books from childhood, starting with Yan. My trip is based on Mi Xiangyang and involves Huai Su, Zhang Xu, Huanggu and Wang Duo. After that, I stopped to disperse Weng, paid attention to Yu Youren, and got a glimpse of Huai Su's "Thousand Articles". I want to take the fluency of the scattered Weng's blood, the simplicity of Yu Youren's body, the lightness of Huai Su's grass spirit, the endless breath of Tai Chi, and the faint and distant sound of the piano. In this taste, non-vulgar children can also do it.

I read the sentence "It's better to drag mud with water" in San Weng's poem, and realized the brushwork and ink method, which is also the ancient people's interpretation of "leaking marks", "broken hair" and "painting sand with a cone". I have tasted the poem "Occasionally I feel at the edge of the inkstone":

Looking for the truth by the inkstone for twenty years,

I lost 10 thousand yuan but I'm still practicing.

Realizing that calligraphy is the method of the mind,

The pen is like a fallen leaf, and the heart is like a cloud.

Compared with San Weng's poems, the latter sentence is not true for Phoenix Tower and Yellow Crane Tower. This is beyond the knowledge of Linchi scholars for several years.

Huang Shangyi, Su in the Song Dynasty, Zhao Dong in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, Dan Qing, the four monks in the Qing Dynasty, and the calligraphy of the Republic of China all have Buddhist nature; Minangong in the Song Dynasty and Chen Laolian in the Qing Dynasty all died in the name of Buddha. Hongyi's masterpiece "The Intersection of Sorrow and Joy" and San Weng's masterpiece "Becoming a Buddha" all have the meaning of admiring the pure land of the West. Is this an accident? Today's scholars and calligraphers should think about it!
