It's Easiest to Draw Ghosts
The king of Qi liked drawing very much. Once he asked everyone, "What is the easiest thing to draw?" After a long silence, one of the painters said, "Your Majesty, I think ghosts are the easiest to paint. When we paint something that is constantly in front of people, people find flaws in it.
And ghosts are illusory things, people have not seen, there is no definite standard, according to their own imagination, how to draw how to draw, no one to find fault in the end like ghosts. That's why it's easiest to draw ghosts."
Everyone thought, it is so!
Whatever we do, we should proceed from reality. Although some things we feel very familiar, but also not easy to do well, this requires us to work hard to do.
画鬼最易
齐王很喜欢画画,有一次齐王问大家:“大家说什么东西最容易画呢?” 沉寂了很久之后,其中一个画师说:“大王,我觉得画鬼魅最容易。经常呈现在人们面前的东西,我们作画时都会被人们发现瑕疵。而鬼魅是虚幻的事物,人们都没有见到过,没有确定的标准,根据自己的想象,想怎么画就怎么画,不会有人去挑剔到底像不像鬼。所以说画鬼最容易了。”
大家心里一琢磨,确实如此啊!
我们不论做什么事情,都要从实际出发。有些事情我们虽然感到很熟悉,但也不是轻而易举就能做好的,这就需要我们下功夫努力去做。
