Inside Story

In the article Tung Chichang mentioned when he was young he didn’t think Chao Mengfu’s calligraphy was good, as he was getting old he was then able to appreciate the beauty of Mengfu’s calligraphy, and he couldn’t help to look at it over and over again. He remembered Mengfu once said a shallow man would consider his calligraphy extraordinary while he was just learning how to hold a brush. He thought there were many people bragged so much but actually knew so little, but he was able to avoid such a fault.
