Tibet was gold digging
Not long ago, to visit a well-known calligrapher. The calligrapher Although over octogenarian still Ercongmuming. I earnestly solicit their calligraphy collection. The elderly did not Najia Zi, is pleased to pick up a pen and asked me what to write characters. I said casually. I saw calligrapher Qi Bi hands down, in the Teton between the consternation of several characters appear in white on rice paper, Qiu Jin powerful strokes.
"Tibet was gold digging." I looked at the four characters on rice paper read out loud. Sure enough, it is good calligraphy! I admire a inwardly.
After re-seated, calligrapher Nianxu smiled and asked me: "I know why I write this phrase it?" I shook my head. Old man said: "This phrase is a divination, and there is a story." "Inscriptions?" I had some doubts.
Then, the calligrapher of them told me about the story:
That is more than 70 years ago, when the calligrapher is not even ten. One day, his mother's fortune-telling of the blind to find the street to his son forget a hexagram, operator finished Gua depressed after his mother. After the first time in many days, my son learned that his mother was off and unhappy reasons. It turned a blind fortune-teller says that his life is not good, the words of the book with the hexagram is "wells without Spring", that is, no matter how hard his life is in vain. The age of the neighborhood and his child is "too gold digging Tibet" in life, life will enjoy endless wealth and status.
Since then, the "wells without springs, dug Tibet will get gold" that the two words are deeply rooted in calligraphy on young minds. However, calligrapher and his mother did not like the moody, on the contrary, he ramped up its burst of energy, he wanted to see yourself what you really can not be dug up, "spring." Several decades of ups and downs, Hanlaishuwang, he has sung teacher, pond near death, and eventually became one. The irony is that, when the neighbor kids because they believe the fate of wealth and status, all day idle, impoverished life, early left dead.
Calligrapher finally said: "My life experience tells me that in fact the fate of each person in their own hands, as long as your efforts will have to dig up gold, efforts to dig there will be spring."
Calligrapher, then let me think a long time. Gold hidden in the sand, spring hidden in the soil. To harvest treasure, access to sweet, we should bend the excavation, this is a very simple truth, however, often overlooked, is that people are more willing to seek a shortcut. However, some "shortcut" and not people to successfully achieve the ideal, but often will make people lose their bearings, or even go astray, fall into the abyss. Maybe somebody will say, lack of orientation of the excavation is futile, it does not pay the real action, not met with failures and setbacks, how to find a true direction? "1000 10000 Luk Amoy although hard Chuijin visible until golden yellow sand . " This is the creed of the success of many people.
I am careful to conceal the photograph of calligraphy. Including the heart, I also conceal calligrapher that simple, simple yet profound reflections of life.
