东坡书有病笔，唐人无此。颜鲁公书磊落嵬峨，自是台阁中物。米元章不喜颜正书，至今人直以为怪矣。
子字分书，横画不飞，倚人直笔，不向左挑起。人字加三撇，是古升字。
黄长睿疑智果书不真，此不习南朝书法也。欧阳公不信遗教经，东坡殊不以为然。宋人蔡君谟书最佳，今人不重，只缘不学古耳。
书法无他秘，只有用笔与结字耳。用笔近日尚有传，结字古法尽矣。变古法须有胜古人处，都不知古人，却言不取古法，直是不成书耳！
余见东坡、子昂二真迹，见坡书点画学颜鲁公，体势学李北海，风卷云舒，逼之若将飞动。赵殊精工，直逼右军，然气骨自不及宋人，不堪并观也。坡书真有怒猊抉石、渴骥奔泉之态。徐季海世有真迹，不知视此何如耳。
坡公少年书圆觉经，小楷直逼季海。见老泉一书，亦学徐浩。山谷称东坡学徐季海。苏斜川却云：“不然。我信山谷。”

钝吟书要：
东坡的书有毛病，这是唐人没有的。颜鲁公的书磊落而雄伟，是台阁中的人物。米元章不喜欢颜正书，到今天人们还认为这是奇怪的。
子字分书，横画不飞，倚人直笔，不向左挑起。人字加三撇，这是古升字。
黄长睿怀疑智果的书不是真的，这是他不练习南朝书法的缘故。欧阳公不相信《遗教经》，但东坡并不这样认为。宋人的蔡君谟的书是最好的，但现在的人不重视它，只是因为它不学习古代的书法。
书法没有秘密，只有用笔和结字。用笔最近还有传承，结字的方法已经没有了。改变旧的方法必须有胜过古人的地方，都不知道古人，却说什么不采用古法，这简直是不能成为真正的书法！
我看见过东坡、子昂的真迹，看见东坡的字点画学颜鲁公，体势学李北海，像风卷云舒一样，让人感觉到像是将要飞动。赵殊很精工，直接逼近王羲之，但是气骨不如宋朝的人，不能一起观看啊！东坡的书真有如怒狮凿石、渴马奔泉的姿态。徐季海世袭了真迹，不知道看到这些会怎么样呢？

Bent ink, the book has diseased brushwork, this is not found in Tang people. Yan Lugen’s books are bold and magnificent, they are things in the hall of the imperial court. Mian Yuanzhu does not like Yan Zheng’s regular script, and people still think it is strange today.
The child character divided into characters, the horizontal stroke does not fly, leaning on the person to write straight, does not go left to raise it. The character “human” adds three quirks, that’s a descendant of the ancient rise character.
Huang Changrui doubted whether Zhiguo’s books were genuine, this was not his practice of practicing南朝书法. Ouyang Gong did not believe in the Book of Teachings, but Dongpo did not think so. Sung people Cai Junmo’s calligraphy was the best, nowadays, people do not value it, only because they don’t study ancient times.
There is no secret to calligraphy, only using the pen and combining characters. Using the pen is still recent, and combining characters is all gone from ancient methods. In changing the old way, you must have something better than the ancients, you do not know about the ancients, but you say do not use ancient methods, that is simply not a true calligraphy!
I saw Dongpo’s and Zhanyuan’s two authentic works, see Dongpo’s writing with points learning Yan Lugen’s, style following Li Beihai, like a gentle breeze spreading clouds, making it seem as if it will fly. Zhao Shujue is excellent in craftsmanship, he directly imitates Wang Xizhi, but his spirit is not inferior to Song people, he cannot be seen side by side. Dongpo’s calligraphy really has the attitude of angry lions splitting rocks or thirsty horses rushing streams. Xuan Zhijia once had real scripts, seeing this how would he react?
