Guo Moruo explains the story of Insect II

In the late 1950s, several Japanese scholars came to China to climb Mount Tai, and the scenery along the way made them linger and admire. Cross the Red Gate, cross Wanxian Building, and head north. The natural scenery is excellent. The stone wall on the west side of the road is engraved with the word "Insect II", which has aroused great interest of Japanese scholars. They asked the accompanying China scholars what these two strange words meant.

196 1 year, Mr. Guo Moruo climbed Mount Tai and specially invited him to see this inscription. Guo Moruo read these two words, pondered for a moment, and added two strokes to the word "Worm II" with his hand, and "Worm II" became "romantic". Guo Moruo said with a smile: "These two words should be pronounced as' boundless romance', but they are just word games of ancient celebrities."

It is said that it is related to Li Bai. On the third floor of Yueyang Tower in Hunan Province, the East and West are linked, and the East is a short eight-character couplet: "Water and sky are the same color; Romantic boundless ",inscribed as" Chang ".

In the book "Baling Victory" published by Hunan Fine Arts Publishing House 1985, there is a story that there are three faintly visible handwriting on the wooden wall on the third floor of Yueyang Tower-"one", "worm" and "two". People have never understood its meaning. Later, when Li Bai visited Yueyang Tower, he saw that it was a crossword puzzle couplet, that is, "water and sky are the same color, and the moon is boundless", and immediately wrote this couplet.

This matter is still a legend, with obvious traces. However, it is true that Li Bai has been to Yueyang Tower, as evidenced by Li Bai's own poems. Li Bai has a poem "Climbing Yueyang Tower in Twelve Summers".

The word "Bug II" appeared in Mount Tai 2.5 billion years ago, and it was not discovered until 1993. However, it was not the calligrapher who wrote these two words, but nature.

1993, a strange stone lover named Chen Xingwang found a strange stone 18cm long and 1420g at the foot of Mount Tai. The pattern on the strange stone clearly shows the word "Insect II".

It is more natural and elegant than Liu Tinggui's writing style. The word "worm" is clear, subtle, white as jade, and powerful as the wind. The pen "skimming" and the tail pen "dot" are connected again after passing through a white line around the stone and directly penetrate into the stone support;

The word "two" is as light as silk and curved as the moon, and consists of many irregular white spots, such as in clouds. The "calligraphy" on the strange stone is vigorous and powerful, and the density is suitable; Words and colors alternate with each other and set each other off. It is really a rare "treasure" given by nature.
