Only Wang Xizhi's Thousand Words in Zhong You and Zhou Xingsi's Second Rhyme Wang Xizhi's Thousand Words have been circulated so far.
although Xiao zifan's Qian zi Wen was recorded in the biography of Liang Shu, it was no longer recorded after the book of the old Tang dynasty, and it was probably lost.
Zhong You was a calligrapher in the Three Kingdoms period. Pelliot, a Frenchman, wrote Textual Research on Thousand Characters (see Volume 24 of Bulletin in 1925), which was written by Zhong You according to Miscellaneous Copy collected in Dunhuang.
but there is no other historical evidence to prove it, or I am afraid that Miscellaneous Copy will be wrongly written. Others say that Zhong You's Thousand-Character Works
was damaged by rain during the war and flight in the late Western Jin Dynasty. Later, Wang Xizhi, a calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, edited < P > again, hence the name "Wang Xizhi's Thousand Articles in Zhong You". However, after careful textual research by Zhang Boying, a modern calligrapher, this post in various sets of posts was judged as a forgery. He said, "When Xihe was born, did there ever be a thousand words?"? There is no increase or loss between the Chinese characters and Zhou Xingsi, but they are arbitrarily reversed and unreadable. After the Tang Dynasty, the font was influenced by Li Xitai (Li Jianzhong, a calligrapher in the Northern Song Dynasty-the initiator), but it falsely marked the bell and
Wang Zhi. Among the Xi posts listed since the Song Dynasty, Yu Gang and San Xi are all engraved. How absurd! " The conclusion here: Zhong You didn't write Qian Zi Wen, and naturally Wang Xizhi didn't write it.
The Thousand-Character Works, which has been handed down since the Southern Dynasties, was written by Liang Zhou Xingsi. Who is Zhou Xingsi? Why do you want to write "Thousand Characters"?
Zhou Xingsi's Liang Shu has been circulated in 49 volumes. As an official, he was appreciated and
praised by Xiao Yan of Liang Wudi, and he often used his writing skills. His Sui Shu,
Classic Records of Records of Records of Records of Records of Records of Records of Records of Records of Records of Records of Records of Records of Records of Records of Records of Records of Records of Records of Records of Records of Records of the New Tang Dynasty and Records of the Song Dynasty
are all recorded, and there are also Zhou Ben's Thousands of Words in Dunhuang literature. Why did he
write "Thousand Characters"? We can find the answer from Tang Li Chuo's "Shangshu Old Facts" and Wei Xuan's "Liu
Guest's Tales". It turned out that Liang Wudi ordered Yin Tieshi to extend a thousand words that were not repeated in the inscription written by Wang Xizhi
for the princes to learn books. However, because the word
is isolated and not associated with each other, he called Zhou Xingsi and told him, "You are talented and thoughtful, so rhyme for me." It took Zhou Xingsi only one night to make up a presentation to Emperor Wu. This is the
Thousand-Character Works handed down to this day. Zhou Qian-wen's thoughtful and ingenious structure, rich knowledge and harmonious rhyme are suitable for children to remember, so < P > Zhou Qian-wen has become a textbook for thousands of years.
In the era when the Thousand-Character Text was first published, there were other
textbooks for family education, such as Zi Xun, You Xun, Zi Tong and so on. History banishes sand and makes gold simple.
Zi Xun and others are unknown, but only Qian Zi Wen has been circulated in the world, so it can be judged whether it is sand or gold.
