He dreamed of painting the most powerful dragon in the world. He practised day and night for years. "I have worked so hard. I should be able to paint a perfect dragon now," he thought to himself. But when he finished his painting, the dragon looked lifeless and weak. It had no spirit. After many attempts, he still failed. He felt so disappointed.“Maybe I will never become a great artist,” he said sadly. One evening, an old man with kind eyes visited him—it was the voice of experience.“If you want to paint a dragon, you must understand its soul. You need to see it not just with your eyes, but with your heart,"the old man said. But Wang Ming replied," How can I see a dragon with my heart? I have never even seen a real one!" “That is because you are only copying its shape. You must forget what you think a dragon looks like. Close your eyes, feel its power, imagine it moving in the clouds, and then let your brush follow your feeling," the old man explained patiently. “Forget the shape and just feel it? No! That's not how you paint!” Wang Ming could not accept this idea. He had always believed that painting was about making things look real. “The shape is just the body, but the feeling is the spirit. A painting without a spirit is like a body without a soul," the old man continued. Hearing this, Wang Ming closed his eyes. He stopped trying to control his brush and let his hand move freely.
