"Let's not discuss who made this talisman for now; let's just talk about its craftsmanship."
Teacher Zhang An Kang worried the disciples wouldn't see it well, so he borrowed a wooden stand to hang the original talisman in the middle, with an enlarged version displayed behind.
"Look at the brushwork of this talisman as a whole, agile and seamless.
Now look at the handling of its details, not a fraction too much or too little. I've told you time and again that talisman painting is a technical skill; a slight difference can lead to huge errors. Now, compare this original talisman to the enlarged version. What do you think?"
Zhang An Kang combined the two talismans, allowing them to compare.
The disciples, who were daydreaming below, were awakened and cooperated by saying, "Good."
"Good my foot! This talisman copy looks like crap. Are your eyes blind?"
Zhang An Kang criticized the talisman he painted without mercy.
