The author of the readme post is Huai Su.

Huai Su (737 -799), an outstanding calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, was known as "Cao Sheng" in history. The common surname is money, and the word hides the truth. The monk named Huai Su was born in Lingling, Yongzhou (now Yongzhou, Hunan) and moved to Changsha. Qian Qi's nephew, one of Dali's ten gifted scholars.

Huai Su became a monk in his early years. From the third year (768) to the seventh year (772), I went to Beijing to visit famous artists, and the title of the book was greatly improved. In the seventh year of Dali (772), Huai Su paid a visit to Yan Zhenqing in Luoyang, and introduced his brushwork "Zhechai Gu" to Yan Zhenqing, while Yan Zhenqing told him about his "leak mark". Huai Su spoke highly of him and worshipped Yan Zhenqing as his teacher.

Yan Zhenqing wrote a master's cursive song in Huai Su. Soon, Huai Su returned to Huzhou to visit relatives. During my stay in Huzhou, I visited Lu Yu, Jiao Ran and other celebrities. After Huai Su became a monk and meditated, he continued to write. Later, I felt that I didn't have much knowledge, so I traveled around Chang 'an and Luoyang and saw some precious calligraphy products, which made him suddenly enlightened and his calligraphy improved greatly.

He was addicted to cursive writing and liked to drink, and bars sprang up, so he picked up a pen and wrote. Huai Su spent his later years in Baoyuan Temple in Chengdu, Sichuan. Tang Zhenyuan died in the 15th year (799).

Huai Su's achievements.

Huai Su's cursive script is called "Crazy Grass", which is rounded and powerful with a pen, making it into a ring, unrestrained and fluent, in one go. As famous as Zhang Xu, he is known as "Zhang Diankuang" or "Drunk", which has a far-reaching influence on later generations. It also marks the highest level of cursive script in Tang Dynasty and is an indispensable part of China traditional culture.

Huai Su is a "sage of grass" and the champion of these two books. His two works are called "the best in the world". One is that Huai Su's "self-narrative post" written at the age of 40 is called "the first cursive script in the world"; Secondly, Huai Su's 62-year-old original paper version of Thousand-word Grass was honored as "the best grass in the world" by scholar Huang Jinxiang, and in ancient times, it had the reputation of "in a word, it is worth a thousand dollars", so it was also called "a thousand-dollar post".
