马正惠先生曾非常珍爱他收藏的——戴嵩的《斗牛图》。在一个闲暇的日子把画在厅前展开曝晒，有一个来缴田租的农夫看见画后偷着笑。先生觉得不解，问他原因。农民回答说：“我不懂画，可是认得真牛。在它们争斗时，会把尾巴夹在两腿之间，即使是壮汉尽力也不能从中拉出来。这个图上的牛都是竖着尾巴，看似不合情理吧。”马正惠为他所说的赞叹佩服。

元佑初年，黄庭坚与苏东坡、钱穆父一起去京城宝梵寺游玩。吃过饭，黄庭坚写了几张草书，苏东坡对此大加赞赏，钱穆父从旁边看了看说：“老黄（黄庭坚字鲁直，号山谷）的草书非常俗。”黄庭坚问：为什么？钱穆父说：“没什么，只是没有见过怀素的真迹罢了。（怀素，唐代著名草书家，和尚，与东汉张芝并称醉素癫张）”黄庭坚心里很是不服，从此后不肯给人写草书。绍圣中年，黄被贬至涪陵，才第一次见到怀素藏在石扬休家的真迹，就接回家去临摹。临摹了好几天，经常忘了吃饭，从此明白了草书之法度，下笔如飞，和元佑年间的草书大不一样。从这时起黄庭坚才相信钱穆父的话不是诬佞之言，然而钱穆父已经死了很长时间了。所以黄庭坚经常说在涪陵学会草书，遗憾钱穆父看不见了。

元佑初年，山谷与东坡、钱穆父一起到京城的宝梵寺游玩。吃完饭，山谷写了几张草书，东坡对山谷的字很赞赏，而穆父在旁边观看过后说：鲁直（山谷的字）的字接近于俗气。山谷问：为什么？穆父说：没有其他原因，只是因为没有看过怀素的真迹。山谷心里很疑惑，从此不肯再为别人写草书。绍圣中年，山谷被贬住在涪陵，第一次在石扬休家里看到怀素的《自叙》，所以借走回去临摹了很多天，几乎废寝忘食。自此对于草书茅塞顿开，下笔飞动，写下的字与元佑年之前的字有很大的不同，山谷这才相信穆父的话不是胡说的。但是穆父已经过世了。所以山谷曾经自己认为是在涪陵深得草书的真谛，遗憾的是穆父未能看到自己的书法。
