Main text attributed to Huaisu (懷素):

  • 懷素家長沙。幼而事佛。經禪之暇。頗好筆翰。然恨未能遠覩前人之奇迹。所見甚淺。遂擔笈杖錫。西遊上國。謁見當代名公。錯綜其事。遺編絕簡。往往遇之。豁然心胸。略無疑滯。魚牋絹素。多所塵點。士大夫不以為怪焉。顏刑部書家者流。精極筆法。水鏡之辯。許在末行。又以尚書司勳郎盧象。小宗伯張正言。曾為歌詩。故敘之曰。開士懷素。僧中之英。氣概通疎。性靈豁暢。精心草聖。積有歲時。江嶺之間。其名大著。故吏部侍郎韋公陟。覩其筆力。勗以有成。今禮部侍郎張公謂。賞其不羈。引以遊處。兼好事者同作歌以贊之。動盈卷軸。夫草稿之作。起於漢代。杜度。崔瑗。始以妙聞。迨乎伯英。尤擅其美。羲獻茲降。虞陸相承。口訣手授。以至于吳郡張旭長史。雖姿性顛逸。超絕古今。而模(疑衍文)楷精法(疑兩字顛倒)詳。特為真正。真卿早歲常接遊居。屢蒙激昂。教以筆法。資質劣弱。又嬰物務。不能懇習。迄以無成。追思一言。何可復得。忽見師作。縱橫不群。迅疾駭人。若還舊觀。向使師得親承善誘。函挹規模。則入室之賓。捨子奚適。嗟歎不足。聊書此以冠諸篇首。其後繼作不絕。溢乎箱篋。其述形似。則有張禮部云。奔蛇走虺勢入座。驟雨旋風聲滿堂。盧員外云。初疑輕煙澹古松。又似山開萬仞峰。王永州邕曰。寒猿飲水撼枯藤。壯士拔山伸勁鐵。朱處士遙云。筆下唯看激電流。字成只畏盤龍走。敘機格。則有李御史舟云。昔張旭之作也。時人謂之張顛。今懷素之為也。余實謂之狂僧。以狂繼顛。誰曰不可。張公又云。稽山賀老粗知名。吳郡張顛曾不易。許御史瑤云。志在新奇無定則。古瘦灕驪半無墨。醉來信手兩三行。醒後却書書不得。戴御史叔倫云。心手相師勢轉奇。詭形恠狀翻合宜。人人欲問此中妙。懷素自言初不知。語疾速。則有竇御史冀云。粉壁長廊數十間。興來小豁胸中氣。忽然絕叫三五聲。滿壁縱橫千萬字。戴公又云。馳毫驟墨列奔駟。滿座失聲看不及。目愚劣。則有從父司勳員外郎吳興錢起詩云。遠錫無前侶。孤雲寄太虛。狂來輕世界。醉裡得真如。皆辭旨激切。理識玄奧。固非虛蕩之所敢當。徒增愧畏耳。時大曆丁巳(西元七七七年)冬十月廿有八日。
