"Raw" and "cooked" are two words that seem to be completely contradictory on the surface, but to a certain extent, they synergize with each other and jointly promote development.
The so-called "raw" is unfamiliar, and when you have nothing to do with one thing, this is "raw". Of course, people will always grow, after all, practice makes perfect.
But how can it be "cooked"?Zhu Wenli, the inheritor of Ru porcelain, is a good example. With his precocious hair, wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and calloused hands, he will pay attention to the accumulation and improvement of each day. The so-called "a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step", which is the truth.
From "raw" to "mature" is the basic point of learning, and it is a necessary step to step into the door of knowledge, but it is not easy. It's like the years of hard training that astronauts go through before they board a spacecraftMei Lanfang practiced singing for a long time offstage before becoming a generation of opera masters;The yellow sand that tens of millions of pioneers walked through before the dam was re-clothed in green;Summer cicadas need to eat for ten years before singing.
To perfect the technique, it takes a long time to put in enough sweat for it. After sweating out, the quest for knowledge is still not at the end.
Liu Xian said in "Wenxin Carving Dragon": "Exercise a thousand songs and know the sound, watch a thousand swords and then recognize the weapon." It is not easy to go from "raw" to "cooked", so why do you need to go from "cooked" to "raw"?My understanding of "familiarity" to "birth" is not forgetting, not mechanical repetition day after day, but expansion and extension on the basis of the original.
Wang Guowei wrote in "Words in the World": Those who have achieved great careers and university questions in ancient and modern times must pass through three realms. "Last night, the west wind withered the green trees, and I went up to the tall building alone, looking at the end of the world. "This first realm also. "I don't regret the gradual widening of the belt, and I will make people haggard for Yi." There are two realms here. The crowd looked for him, and suddenly looked back, but the man was in the lamplight. "This third realm also.
After reaching the realm of proficiency in a skill, you should jump out of the shackles of skills and realize the vitality from proficiency, which is not to start all over again, but to sublimate your own skills based on existing knowledge and skills. Wang Guowei read poetry and books, but his career was not smooth, so he studied and tasted the interest of literature in the midst of distress, and began to feel that if poetry and literature were confined to the use of words for examination, after all, they could only stop at unknown readers, so he abandoned the theory of Confucianism, devoted himself to literary research and philosophical thinking, and eventually became a literary master.
As Goethe said in his book Faust: "Theory is all gray, and the golden tree of life is evergreen." "Only by withdrawing from those familiar theoretical knowledge, feeling the unique wonder of life, and putting it into practice, can we make knowledge more than just knowledge, and turn what we have learned into our own things. In this way, we can get rid of the boredom of pure theory, glimpse a trace of strangeness from familiar things, discover new ideas, and "dead things" can gain "vitality".
Books must be matured and then matured, and they must be matured first and then born. Mr. Tang Linchu's interpretation of the art of calligraphy enlightens us that to do things for people, we must not only be diligent, down-to-earth, repeatedly practiced, become proficient in skills, and become refined, but also get rid of the shackles, give full play to our creativity, find another way, and make breakthroughs. This is true for all walks of life, from small learning and art Xi to large national causes.
From "raw" to "cooked", it is the result of hard work, and the emphasis is on the skill of calligraphy. However, if calligraphy stops at mastery, uses the pen to create words, and flows away from Xi, it seems natural and smooth, but it lacks change and seems mediocre. Sometimes only pay attention to carving, flow to technology, confined to the law, seemingly exquisite, but lack of charm, fall into the cliché.
"Raw" is unique, innovative, but also clumsy, jerky and frank interest, is the natural authenticity after washing and carving. From "raw" to "cooked" is inheritance and development, and from "cooked" to "born" is breakthrough and innovation.
The realm breaks through, and life breaks the boundary.
