Is it true that "words are like people"?

I think "words are like people" is a description, not a definition. Calligraphy can really represent the externalization of calligrapher's ambition, the expression of mood, the expression of emotion and the portrait of character. The word "words are like people" is used to describe people whose words are similar to their own character, character and connotation. Don't say what those words are, but what this person must be! Let me give you some examples.

Zhu Yuanzhang commented on Yue Fei's calligraphy: pure and unyielding, the book is like a person. Yue Fei's calligraphy is characterized by smooth lines, carefree dripping, vigorous, rigorous composition, rigorous attitude and unyielding, which is both bold and unconstrained by military commanders and elegant by civil servants. Throughout Yue Fei's life's deeds, they all conform to the description of "words are like people".

Coincidentally, there was also a calligrapher named Cai Jing in the Song Dynasty. There were four calligraphers in the Northern Song Dynasty, namely Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Mi Fei and Cai Jing. Cai Jing's calligraphy was appraised by the Book History Society: its words were rigorous and informal, and it was easy to avoid rules. The official book is like a crown sword, and it is discussed in the temple; Running script is like a noble son, full of enthusiasm and brilliance; Chinese characters are the best in the world, and there are few horses.

When I was traveling, I passed Menghui Town, Mengjin County. The slogan of this town is "Hometown of Calligraphy in China". I thought at that time, what is the calligraphy here? Everyone dares to hang such a slogan. Later, I found that Jin Meng is the hometown of Wang Duo. In the history of calligraphy in China, Wang Duo is a versatile all-rounder. Like Dong Qichang, he was called "Wang Duo" by the world and "King of South, East and North" in the late Ming Dynasty. Wang Duo's calligraphy is vigorous and powerful, and Mr. Qi Gong praised his calligraphy: "I can never think of a pen tripod, and there has been no such monarch for 500 years". However, in history, he was included in the biographies of ministers of the two dynasties because he was a descendant of the Qing Dynasty, and was defiled by later generations. It is said that at that time, the treasury of the Ming Dynasty was empty, and Chongzhen asked the friends of the ministers for money, and the ministers all said that they had no money. However, when the Qing soldiers entered the customs, thousands of gold and silver were found in the homes of these ministers. I wonder if Wang Duo, who was still a "University student in Dongting" at that time, was among these shameless ministers.
