🖼 ONE LINE FROM THIS PAINTING
"What way of learning is held in the charge to examine the old and prove the present?"
📝ONGO's Reflection
The words Kim Jeong-hui wrote bid us examine the old to prove the present, seek truth in books and seek principle in the heart. The source is one, the resolve goes, so do not split it in two. In this calligraphy I see a firmness rooted in fact. It is the stance not of pleasant words or familiar belief but of asking whether a thing is actually so. To hold to one source and pierce ten thousand volumes sounds, in the end, like setting up a single standard that does not waver.
