Today, we begin to read the conclusion of some words in the preface of the King's Hadith.
This post is known as the "literal Bible". If you don't read in the order of the holy religion, you will miss the opportunity to surpass Wang Xizhi. Because to surpass Wang Xizhi, we must understand Wang Xizhi.
In other words, if you don't know how beautiful it is, how can you know how ugly it is, let alone how ugly and beautiful it is! (A few books are omitted here)
Not much to say, in order to avoid the entanglement of word selection, I still look for word analysis from beginning to end in the post. Say "Don" today.
This word, if you don't know how to use a pen, look at how Ou Yangxun and Zhao Meng wrote it:
Perhaps these three words can make you feel the effect that "it is not easy to use a pen through the ages, and a thousand words will be handed down from generation to generation".
When reading a word, the first thing you may see is the shape of the word. You must first have an impression of being tall and thin in your mind, so we connected the outer contours of the word and found that it is a quasi-upright triangle (small at the top and large at the bottom). The long curl and "mouth" keep the head and trunk stable.
If you say this word has been written perfectly, how can you surpass it? Then I'll tell you, if you find the big blank distribution in the outline of this word, you will know how to break it.
Looking up the dictionary, it is found that the big space of the word "Tang" in Wang Xizhi's running script is on the left, and the position and center of gravity of the word are adjusted by the arrangement of "point", "horizontal" and "left".
The following word was written by Wang Xizhi in the dictionary, but it is more like Mi Fei's style. Of course, the big white space is still on the left. It can be said that the left is "dangerous" and the right is "broken", which makes the word stable and lively. Does it look like a scene where a person drags a dropped shovel with his body, which is scary but only a false alarm?
Yu Shinan wrote the "wide" part honestly, so it is not so risky. However, because the mouth is close to the top, it needs to be thrown out to avoid embarrassment, thus leaving the biggest blank under it.
The following words were written by Cai Xiang, and the words were very tight, which made it easier for people in the Tang Dynasty because it reduced a large area of blank space.
Mi Fei, an interesting person who wants the whole world to pay attention to him, is bound to subvert Wang Xizhi the most, because he is the deepest in Jin, so the word "Tang" below is different from the one above.
