Who dares to comment on Wang Xizhi in the history of calligraphy in China? In the thousand-year history of China's calligraphy, countless calligraphy critics almost agree with Wang Xizhi. However, Zhang Huaiguan, a famous Tang Dynasty star, made a very special evaluation. He especially looked down on Wang Xizhi's cursive script. Think? Cao has a girl's talent, no husband's spirit and is not expensive? . Then he commented on Wang Xizhi's cursive script? Although rich and beautiful, there is not enough air? .
In his book Book Review, it is even more specific, saying? In Wang Zi, 100 cursive characters only reach his running script, and 300 characters only reach his regular script? .
In short, he thought Wang Xizhi's cursive script was too gentle and lovely and was criticized. But in the history of books, many people's comments are fully affirmed. Typical Liang Wudi, he said? Zhong You's book is like a cloud, playing in the sea in the upper reaches of the sky, with dense lines; Wang Xizhi's words are powerful and carefree, like a dragon jumping into the sky and a tiger lying in the phoenix? . Of course, his comments on Wang Zi are overall, not specifically cursive.
Overall evaluation of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is Wang Xizhi known as? Book saint? Whether you know calligraphy or not, you know Wang Xizhi, a unique calligrapher. In the sea of calligraphy in Wang Yang, Wang Xizhi was set up as a lighthouse by many calligraphers and set as a model by calligraphy in past dynasties, and the famous calligraphers in past dynasties were measured by Wang Xizhi's standards. Few later calligraphers have not copied Wang Xizhi's calligraphy posts, so there are? Book saint? Fame.
Some commentators said:? Although China praised Wang Xizhi's behavior in the history of books? Book saint? But he is not regarded as a solidified icon, but only as the creation of calligraphy in China culture? Perfect? A symbol of. Things are always developing and progressing. Has Wang Xizhi reached his time? Perfect? The peak of this? Icon? It is bound to summon the latecomers to climb the new height of calligraphy in their respective times. ? Although it broke the worship of Wang Xizhi here, it still failed to break the pattern of people knowing Wang Xizhi. Why is Wang Xizhi's calligraphy the best? Why is Wang Xizhi's work considered flawless?
Wang Xizhi's position as a calligrapher has two major factors:
First, the promotion of Emperor Taizong. Emperor Taizong appreciated Wang Xizhi's calligraphy very much, and called calligraphers from all over the world and the imperial court to copy the Preface to Lanting. This promoted Wang Xizhi's calligraphy status to a certain extent. But this is not absolute. Tang Taizong's calligraphy attainments are not shallow, and he should be able to judge Wang Xizhi's calligraphy level. Emperor Taizong is only an external cause, and the main reason is Wang Xizhi himself.
Second, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy skills. Calligraphers of all ages regarded Wang Xizhi as? Book saint? Therefore, there are no shortcomings in evaluating Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. Because the conclusion is that Wang Xizhi is perfect, Wang Xizhi is absolute and Wang Xizhi is insurmountable. Calligraphers of past dynasties, including Liu Zhao, Su Huang Camouflage, Weng Liu Chengtie and many others, were almost inseparable from Wang Xizhi's calligraphy.
I think the main reason is China's feudal orthodoxy and the doctrine of the mean:
Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is regarded as the orthodoxy of calligraphy, and Wang Xizhi's method is also regarded as the orthodoxy of calligraphy. Anyone who violates Wang Xizhi's laws is regarded as treason. But is it not good to violate Wang Xizhi's law? Some people say that Wang Xizhi's laws are still in use, but those that violate Wang Xizhi's laws no longer exist. Think about it, can this law, which was spurned as soon as it came out, be passed down? When Wang Xizhi's calligraphy was regarded as orthodox, Ou Yangxun, Yan Zhenqing, Liu Gongquan, Zhao Mengfu and other calligraphers were all influenced by Wang Xizhi to varying degrees. As we all know, the font of imperial examination was mainly European style for quite some time. This developed Ou Yangxun to some extent and Wang Xizhi indirectly. When Ou Yangxun was honored as a model of European style, later European style calligraphers took Ou Yangxun as the standard, so they could never surpass Ou Yangxun. Wang Xizhi was copied by Ou Yangxun and became an unattainable peak.
What does Wang Xizhi's calligraphy look like to calligraphers? Everyone has no characteristics, and everyone has no style? And who is Wang Xizhi? The beauty of the mean? . This standard is regarded as the ultimate realm of calligraphy, which is obviously limited by Confucianism. When we equate Wang Xizhi with the essence of Confucianism, we will find that Wang Xizhi has become a Confucian Confucius and an unshakable saint in calligraphy. Then, no matter how great a calligrapher is, judging by Wang Xizhi's standards, it is of course unparalleled. Huai Su, Zhang Xu, Wang Duo and other comments are too bold compared with Wang Xizhi. It is not surprising that Ou Yangxun is too dull compared with Wang Xizhi. In the feudal society of China ruled by Confucianism, as long as Confucianism does not waver, Wang Xizhi will not waver. Contemporary times are different, and the status of Confucianism has greatly declined. Therefore, many calligraphers began to criticize and reflect on Wang Xizhi. Must our calligraphy be moderate? Must not be left or right?
If Wang Xizhi is an unattainable peak, then the calligraphy in the Tang Dynasty is not as good as that in Jin Dynasty, Song Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, Qing Dynasty, Republic of China and Republic of China. Aside from Wang Xizhi's taboo, shouldn't we calligraphers reflect?
Humble opinion! In order to prepare for the improvement of calligraphy level before examining one's own opinions. See if you can have new ideas in the future.
Comment on Wang's Xizhi (303? 36 1) is a word that rarely escapes. It is called Wang Youjun because it is led by the rank of right army general. An outstanding calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Wang Xizhi, who cares about the country and loves the people, was born in the second year of Tai 'an in the Western Jin Dynasty (303). Originally from Linyi (now Linyi, Shandong).
Wang Langya was the most outstanding scholar-bureaucrat in Jin Dynasty. In the Wangs, many people hold important positions. He began to serve as an official in grandfather's uncle and Wang Xiang in Wei and Jin Dynasties, and served as an official, Qiu and Taibao. Uncle Wang Yan successively served as the official minister, official minister and Qiu of Emperor Jinhui. After crossing the south, uncle Wang Dao lived in the government and held state affairs; Another uncle, Wang Dun, is stationed in Jingzhou. He's armed to the teeth and in neat formation? The king and the horse, * * * the world? Special political situation. His father, Wang Kuang, is the prefect of Huainan. He was the founding hero of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and he was the first to suggest Si Marui, the Emperor of Jin and Yuan Dynasties, to cross the river.
As a teenager, Wang Xizhi was not good at words, but stubborn, upright and opinionated. Wang Dao and Wang Dun both attached great importance to his talent and praised him as the most promising son of the Wangs. Jian 'an appreciated him more and took the initiative to marry his daughter.
The Eastern Jin regime, living in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River, was turbulent from the beginning because of its internal contradictions. Wang Langya often plays an important role in these drastic changes. Although Wang Xizhi was born in the royal family of Langya, he seldom thought about the interests of a family. He repeatedly rejected Wang Dao's suggestion that he be an official in the central government. In order to establish the great achievements of revitalizing the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he is willing to take up specific work at the local level. Since the 9th year of Emperor Xianhe of Jincheng (334), he has been working for Yu Liang, the general of the Western Expedition, in Jingzhou for about six years. Yu Liang opposed the king's autocratic court and was at odds with the king. However, Wang Xizhi can pay attention to good relations with Yu Liang. He finally gained the trust of the other side, and Yu Liang promoted his position from joining the army to a long history. In the sixth year of Xiankang (340), Yu Liang died. Yu Liang personally praised Wang Xizhi's talent before he died, and suggested that Emperor Cheng appoint him as General Ningyuan and Jiangzhou Secretariat.
Soon, Emperor Jincheng issued imperial edicts twice before and after, appointing Wang Xizhi as assistant minister and official minister. Wang Xizhi refused one by one because it was against their original intention.
In the second year of Yonghe, Jin Mu (346), Wang Xizhi once again rejected the central government's request to appoint him as a general to protect the army. His behavior caused a lot of criticism in the court. Wang Xizhi stated his ambition in his reply to Yangzhou secretariat Yin Hao. He said that it was a long-standing idea that he didn't want to work in the central government. But that doesn't mean he won't serve his country. As long as he needs it, he will spare no effort to go to dangerous areas such as Guanlong (occupied by Shi Hu in the post-Zhao Dynasty) and Bashu (occupied by Shili in the Han Dynasty). Under pressure, Wang Xizhi returned to Jiankang and took up the post of military guard, but he still asked for a foreign post. After repeated requests, the court finally agreed to let him serve as the general of the right army as the literature and history of Huiji.
When he arrived in Huiji (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang), he was suffering from a serious famine. Wang Xizhi is busy opening a granary here to help the victims. He suggested to the court Quit drinking and save a life? ("Full Jinwen" Volume 26), what do you think? There is no wine in this county for a year, saving more than one million hectares of rice. Is the rent high? (Complete Works of Jinwen, Volume 24). Through practical investigation, Wang Xizhi learned that the taxes levied by the Eastern Jin government on the people were too heavy, especially in Wu Jun (now Suzhou, Jiangsu) and Huiji. So I wrote many times to ask for tax relief, so that the people can? It's too small to rest, and everyone has their own business? . He criticized the government's bureaucracy for being bloated and complicated, and the materials in this section are mainly Jin books? The biography of Wang Xizhi quoted in this biography is not otherwise noted.
Low will only increase the burden on the people. It takes ten days for the master to do things, and when the officials and the people have left, it costs thousands of dollars. . He checked all the counties under Huiji County and found that the theft of official warehouses was very serious. The reason is that the inside job is stolen. Warehouse supervisor steals official rice and moves tens of thousands. ,? Yuyao is close to100000? . Wang Xizhi accused the North Korean authorities of obstructing the tracing, saying that they were actually? Recruit rape officials with capital? . Think as long as? Kill a person and break it? .
During the period of Wang Xizhi's literature and history, there was a Northern Expedition fever in the Eastern Jin government. Huan Wen, the secretariat of Jingzhou, was heavily armed, and after destroying the Han Cheng regime in Shu, he actively prepared for the Northern Expedition. Huan Wen tried to rely on military victory to improve his personal prestige and realize his ambition to represent the Jin Dynasty as emperor. In the ninth year of Yonghe (353), in order to suppress Huan Wen, Jiankang Zaifu Sima Yu first appointed Yangzhou secretariat Yin Hao as commander in chief of the Northern Expedition. Yin Hao is an empty talker in name only and has no combat experience. He appointed Yao Xiang, the leader of the Qiang nationality who was demoted to Jin, as the vanguard of the Northern Expedition. As a result, Yao Xiang defected halfway and ambushed in Yin Hao, Shansang. Yin Hao was defeated and the Northern Expeditionary Army suffered heavy losses. Wang Xizhi has always opposed the blind northern expedition. Yin Hao wrote a letter before he left, with sincere words to dissuade him. After the failure of the Northern Expedition, Yin Hao was unwilling to fail and tried again. Wang Xizhi wrote to him again, warning Yin Hao to learn from his failure. Can the past be traced back, hoping to think about the future? . He said,? Is politics based on Tao, harmony, military power and injustice? Repeated clamouring for the Northern Expedition is a disgrace to the country and the result of the lack of foresight of those in power. The strength of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was insufficient, the army was defeated abroad and the capital was exhausted. Since there is no power to control the Huaihe River basin, it is better to save the Yangtze River. He suggested that those in power should take the blame and blame themselves, admit their mistakes, concentrate talents, listen to the opinions of people of insight, strive to refresh politics, abolish cumbersome systems and reduce tax corvee. Only in this way can the difficult situation be changed. Wang Xizhi warned that if we persist in exploiting the tyranny of the people, uprisings like Chen Sheng and Guangwu will appear immediately. In his letter to Sima Yu, he expressed concern about the consequences of repeated trials. It is pointed out that in a war, we should know ourselves and know ourselves. Blind northern expedition has little hope of victory, but it has caused great pain to the people. In the world, wuyue's latitude and longitude are only nine tenths, so he wrote a letter to Xie Shang, the servant of Shangshu, listing the disasters brought by the war with sadness. He said that a large number of people who participated in conscription and transportation were unable to return to China because of death or defection. Although the population has decreased, the government still collects it from the people as usual, causing more people to defect halfway. According to the government decree, the families and neighbors of fugitives must sit together, so a large number of new people fled. ? People are in exile, and the number of registered permanent residence is decreasing. Is this the source? .
Huiji County is under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou, and Wang Shu, the secretariat of Yangzhou, is Wang Xizhi's immediate superior. Wang Shu and Wang Xizhi were at odds and were repeatedly left out in the cold, making things difficult, and Wang Xizhi was deeply ashamed. In the 11th year of Yonghe (355), he resigned from the post of Huiji Literature and History on the grounds of illness.
After resigning, Wang Xizhi's family settled in Huiji and never returned to Jiankang. At the beginning of Huiji, Wang Xizhi had a strong interest in the rich eastern Zhejiang and had plans to die of old age here. In his spare time, he often visits the famous sea and mountains here with his friends Xie An and others. After becoming an official, more? Traveling with orientals? . Wang is a northern gentry, and his homeland has been lost. In order to ensure his own economic interests, he must occupy a lot of land in the south. Taihu Lake basin is the territory of indigenous gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. In order to avoid conflict with them, the tentacles of the northern clans turned to eastern Zhejiang. Wang Xizhi's sightseeing certainly has recreational elements, but his main purpose is to ask Tian Wenjia, in his own words? Traveling east to the mountains and seas, looking at the right place in parallel? . Wang Xizhi's miscellaneous posts asking his friends to return the land and property are kept in Volume 24 of the Complete Works of Jinwen, which proves Wang Xizhi's enthusiasm for expanding the land.
The most outstanding achievement of a generation of immortal calligrapher Wang Xizhi is his calligraphy art. In the history of calligraphy, he is an epoch-making master. Whether before or after death, he was respected by people, right? Book saint? Fame. Wang Xizhi's calligraphy achievement lies not only in his ability to prepare various calligraphy styles and collect the great achievements of calligraphy at that time. More importantly, he can form his own family and create a unique style of Wang calligraphy.
During the Han and Wei Dynasties, China's calligraphy developed to a brilliant stage. In addition to Han Li and Cao Zhang, people also innovated running script and regular script. Since then, famous calligraphers such as Zhong You, Liang Hao, Dan Wei, Wei Ji and Suo Jing have emerged, among which Zhong You is the most famous. He can write Li, Kai, Xing and Cao, especially Kai. Zhong You's calligraphy was popular in the Wei and Jin Dynasties and occupied a dominant position in bookstores. Wang Xizhi's home is famous for its good books. When Wang Dao was in turmoil, he brought Zhong You's Bulletin Board with him. According to Shu Shu Fu, who are the calligraphers in the Eastern Jin Dynasty? Eight kings? , reed {langya} a king * * * with six people.
This era and family style have influenced Wang Xizhi since childhood. He began to learn calligraphy at the age of seven, and his first teacher was his uncle Wang Biao. Wang Xun's writing style is imitated by Zhong You. At the age of eleven, Wang Xizhi found the pen theory written by the previous generation in his father's pillow and took it out for private reading. When father knows, tell him:? Now you are too young to understand the rules of writing. I'll teach you when I grow up. ? Wang Xizhi disagreed. He said: I want to know earlier, if I grow up, it will be too late. ? His father only roughly explained the main points of pen theory to him, but Wang Xizhi got the message and made progress in his studies. Mrs. Wei, a famous calligrapher, saw his words and sighed. Children must have learned to use a pen. I think his brushwork is very mature and will definitely surpass me in the future. ? Mrs Wei is the daughter of Wei Guan, a famous calligrapher, and the wife of Li Ju. Wei Shuo studied in Zhong You and enjoyed a high reputation. Because of his love for Wang Xizhi, Wei Shuo took him as his disciple.
When Wang Xizhi grew up, his experience became more and more rich, especially after seeing the original works such as Yi Shan Tablet by Li Si, Three-body Stone Classic by Cai Yong, Hua Yue Tablet by Zhang Xu, and Xuantie by Zhong You, he changed his mind, learned from others, and tried to find another way to create his own calligraphy style. At first, his calligraphy was not the best. Yu Yi's calligraphy was much better than his. After his diligent study and practice, he finally merged all the schools into one furnace, and all kinds of calligraphy styles such as seal script, official script, cursive script, running script and regular script have deep attainments. Especially in middle-aged and elderly people, the simple book style has changed, creating an attractive, healthy, beautiful and fresh luxury book style and becoming a master.
In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Li, Cao, Xing and Kai were fully prepared. Comparatively speaking, Xing and Kai made their debut late and were not yet mature. Wang Xizhi pushed them forward and changed them, which played a connecting role in the history of calligraphy. Wang Xizhi's main contribution includes two aspects. First of all, it opened up the development path of calligraphy combining cursive script and cursive script. At that time, all bodies were complete, or inheritance was the main thing, and the old law was not changed, but the official law writing mode was still used, that is, the so-called official law mode (modern mode); Or bring forth the old and bring forth the new, and develop a running script that combines cursive script with regular script. Wang Xizhi chose the latter. It conforms to the law of calligraphy development, is convenient and easy to understand, and boldly changes on the basis of inheriting the essence of previous calligraphy. It is the combination of the practicality of calligraphy and the perfection of art, and has become the mainstream of calligraphy development since Sui and Tang Dynasties. The second is to create expressive writing methods. Calligraphy is an image art, if the plaque changes little, it will lose its vitality. Wang Xizhi is proficient in various styles and techniques, and on this basis, he boldly reformed the traditional programming techniques to make them gorgeous, strange and colorful. He keeps changing the state of his books and expressing them in different ways to avoid duplication. Li Sizhen, a man in the Tang Dynasty, marveled in The Book After? Is Xi's words different? Really discovered Wang's changeable calligraphy characteristics.
Emperor Taizong in the Book of Jin? Wang Xizhi's calligraphy has been highly praised by the post-production system of Wang Xizhi's Biography. He wrote:? Detailed study of ancient and modern times, refining seal elements, perfect, but few Wang Yi! Look at the dragged work, beautifully cut, the smoke is exposed, and it will be shipped if it is broken; When you are in the belly of a dragon, the potential is oblique and straight. Tired of playing, I don't know its ending when I watch it, and I am eager to catch up. This man is it! ?
Wang Xizhi's calligraphy has been recognized and loved by people, and gradually replaced Zhong Shu and became popular all over the world. When Yu Yi saw the letters written by Wang Xizhi and Cao Zhang to his brother, he was deeply moved and sighed. He wrote to him personally, saying: I used to have ten Cao Zhang posts by Zhang Zhi, a sage of grass, but I lost them after crossing the south, thinking that I would never see such good words again. Seeing your Cao Zhang, you wrote so beautifully that I felt that the old posts came back to me. ? Wang Xizhi's book and post ink is gradually regarded as a treasure by people. On one occasion, Wang Xizhi went to his protege's house to be a guest, and the protege gave a banquet to entertain him. Wang Xizhi wants to repay him with books. When he saw a piece of wood in the room, it was very smooth, so he began to write. His books are so rough and elegant that his students are ecstatic. As a reward for Mr. Gan, his protege personally sent Wang Xizhi back to the county. When he came back, his protege found that Wang Xizhi's handwriting had been scraped off by his father. He was angry and sad for a long time. On another occasion, Wang Xizhi saw an old woman selling fans in Lushan, and her business was slow. He approached the fan stall and wrote some words on some fans. Seeing the old woman's sad face, Wang Xizhi smiled and explained: You said this is Wang Youjun's handwriting, and each fan costs 100 yuan. ? The old woman did it with a grain of salt and was robbed by everyone. Wang Xizhi gave birth to a sex goose. He heard that a domestic goose was good at singing, so he went to see it with great interest. In order to get Wang Xizhi's words, the family actually killed the goose and made a dish for him, which made him laugh and cry. A Taoist priest in Shanyin County also has some good geese. When Wang Xizhi came to buy it, the Taoist priest said to him, My goose is not for sale. If you are willing to copy the Tao Te Ching, these geese will be given to you for nothing. ?
Wang Xizhi is also very conceited about his calligraphy. Self-proclaimed: my word is comparable to Zhong You, and Zhang Zhi is behind. ? He wrote to others and said: Zhang Zhi studied Mo Chi, and I worked so hard. How could I fall behind him?
Wang Xizhi's original work has not been preserved until now. What remains in the world is mainly an engraving of his book Trace. Among his regular scripts, Huang Tingjing and his calligraphy are the most famous, among which Preface to Lanting, Quick Snow and Fine Calligraphy and Mourning Calligraphy are the best, and Seventeen Calligraphy is the best.
Preface to Lanting Collection was written on the third day of March in the ninth year of Yu Yonghe (353). Wang Xizhi invited his close friends, sons and nephews to gather 42 celebrities at that time to carry out restoration activities in the Yin Shan Pavilion in Huiji. Sacrificing at the water's edge is an ancient custom, which is said to eliminate ominous. On this day, the participants were in a happy mood, gave a banquet and wrote poems, leaving a lot of poems. Wang Xizhi prefaced the banquet for the Preface to Lanting Collection. According to "Fahualu", what "Lanting Collection" in Tang Dynasty said:? Books are made of cocoon and silkworm paper and eight-character pens, which are charming and strong, and even more peerless. ? Preface to Lanting Collection, known as the best running script in the world since ancient times, is Wang Xizhi's masterpiece. After Emperor Taizong won this fame, Zhao Mo, Han Daozheng, Feng Chengsu, Zhu Gejin and others were ordered to copy it and dedicate it to princes, kings and ministers. Legend has it that its original object was buried in Zhaoling with the remains of Emperor Taizong. The artistic styles of various ink editions of Preface to Lanting Collection handed down from ancient times are not consistent. The notebooks we can see now are considered to be the copies of Yu Shinan, Chu Suiliang, Feng Chengsu and others. Among the inscriptions, the rubbings of Judingwu after the bachelor of Taizong are the top grade. Wang Xizhi is also an excellent writer. His articles and poems are well written. There has been a long-standing debate in academic circles about the authenticity of Preface to the Collection of Lanting in the Book of Jin. During the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin first questioned Preface from the origin of fonts. He said:? From the Southern and Northern Dynasties to the early Tang Dynasty, the surviving inscriptions often have the meaning of official script, and it was only today after Kaiyuan. Although the right army has become an official script, the ancient law should not be completely destroyed. Today's world is engraved, but for the Tang Dynasty, reproduction is distorted. ? In the 15th year of Guangxu reign in Qing Dynasty, Li Wentian, a Cantonese, totally denied that the Preface was written by Wang Xizhi. He thinks that the preface is different from Wang Xizhi's article quoted by Liu Xiao in Shi Shuo Xin Yu in title and text. He also discussed the preface from the font. You don't have to write a good book between Sui and Tang Dynasties? . In recent years, the debate about the authenticity of Preface to the Lanting Pavilion began with Guo Moruo's article "The Authenticity of Preface to the Lanting Pavilion from the Epitaph Unearthed in Xie Wang" in 1965. Taking the newly unearthed cultural relics as an example, Guo Wen gave full play to Li Wentian's argument, denying that the Preface was an original work of Wang Xizhi and the Post was written by Wang Xizhi. Guo Wen recognized the Preface as a work of wisdom and courage by monks in Sui Dynasty. On this issue, there are two opinions in academic circles: for and against. 1972, Guo Moruo published the article "Jin People Unearthed in Xinjiang Write the History of the Three Kingdoms", and once again put forward the old theory. Today, the debate is still going on, and many viewpoints are not in favor of the statement that Preface is a forgery for future generations. 1977, the cultural relics publishing house compiled the two opinions into a book "Lanting Theory". 1982, Liu Hanping published On Lanting Style. As for the views of both sides of the argument, just look up two books.
The collected works, such as Wang Jian, Shu, etc., all have the advantages of rigorous structure, fluent writing and sincere feelings. Preface to Lanting Collection is a masterpiece of writing notes, scenery and lyricism. It truly reflects Wang Xizhi's complex feelings of loving life and lamenting the brevity of life. Wang Xizhi's poems handed down from generation to generation mainly include pen-lifting fu. His "After Mrs. Wei's Painting" is an excellent calligraphy paper. In this article, he compared the calligrapher's writing to a serious military activity: calligraphy, array; Author, knife also; Ink, armor also; Water inkstone, city also; Those who care, the general also; Skillful, lieutenant also; Structure, strategy also; Yang author, good or bad; In and out, the order is also; If you bow down, kill it. ? This metaphor is both appropriate and profound. He pointed out that conceptual layout is the key to calligraphy. When a man wants to read a book, he should first dry ink and concentrate on meditation: predict the font size, straighten his back and vibrate to connect the tendons and veins. Intention in front of the pen, and then write down the words. If you are straight, like an operator, the whole is up and down, and the front and back are even, it is not a book, but it is worth mentioning! ? Wang Xizhi told the story of the calligrapher's predecessors and his bumpy experience in learning calligraphy, and combined with his own experience, summed up his views on the calligraphy styles of Li, Zhen, Xing and Cao. This article is edited by people.
According to Sui Shu? According to the Records of Jing Ji, Wang Xizhi collected ten volumes and recorded one volume, but none of them exists today.
