1. 書訣

Title: 書訣

Poet: 張懷瓘

Corpus: Tang poetry

File: poet.tang.52000.json

剡紙易墨，心圓管直。
漿深色濃，萬毫齊力。
先臨告誓，次寫《黃庭》。
骨豐肉潤，入妙通靈。
努如直槊，勒若橫釘。
虛專妥帖，毆鬬崢嶸。
開張鳳翼，聳擢芝英。
粗不爲重，細不爲輕。
纖微向背，毫髮死生。
工之未盡，已擅時名。

2. 詩

Title: 詩

Poet: 張懷瓘

Corpus: Tang poetry

File: poet.tang.52000.json

向展右背，長伸左足。
峻角一支，潛虛半腹。
已放則留，無垂不縮。
分若抵背，合還口並目。
似側暎斜，似斜附曲。
覃精一字，工歸自得。
盈虛統視聯行，妙在相承起伏。
（均見宋朱長文《墨池編》卷二引張懷瓘《玉堂禁經》）。
