Husband has been good at writing since ancient times, and Han and Wei have stunts. Later Jin Dynasty called two kings wonderful. Wang Xizhi said: "Looking for famous works, the bell is unsurpassed, but I don't know enough." It can be said that Zhong didn't, but Xian inherited him. Another cloud said, "My book is like a clock, and the clock should resist or say. Cao Zhang is still a wild goose. However, Zhang is good at this, and the pool is full of ink, so if I am worried about this, I may not thank you. "This is the meaning of Zhong Tui. Test its professional knowledge, although it failed in the previous regulations; At the same time, you are not ashamed to do things.
From ancient times to the present, people who are good at calligraphy include Zhong You and Zhang Zhi in Han and Wei Dynasties, and Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi in late Jin Dynasty. Wang Xizhi said: "I have been studying the calligraphy of famous artists recently. Zhong You and Zhang Zhi are really superb, and the rest are not worth seeing. " It can be said that after the death of Zhong You and Zhang Zhi, Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi inherited them.
Wang Xizhi added, "Compared with Zhong You and Zhang Zhi, my calligraphy is comparable to or slightly better than that of Zhong You. Zhang Zhi's cursive script can be compared with his before and after; Because Zhang Zhi is good at research and study, he can dye all the water in the pond. If I study as hard as he does, I may not catch up with him. " This is to recommend Zhang Zhi, thinking that he surpasses Zhong You. Looking at Wang Xizhi's father and son's specialization in calligraphy, although they did not fully understand the testimonies of their predecessors, they could learn from various calligraphy styles, which is worthy of being a calligraphy career.
The commentator said: "There are four sages, who are unique in ancient and modern times; Today, we can't catch the paleontology, and the paleontology is now studied. "Husband quality is changed by splendor, and beauty is changed by customs. Although the book is written, it is suitable for memorizing words; However, when spring moves, the quality changes, the evolution of red meaning and the smoothness of physics change. When you could be naughty, today is different. The so-called "gentleness". Then a gentleman. " Why is it easy to carve palaces at acupoints, but not jade at chakras!
There is another cloud: "The respect of sons is not as good as ease, and ease is not as good as Zhong Zhang." The Italian thought his discipline was evaluated, but he didn't explain his beginning and end. And Yuan Chang specializes in official script, and Boying is especially good at cursive script, which is both beautiful and relaxed. Imitation grass is real, and it grows grass compared with reality. Although small and inferior, it involves many advantages. In the end, bandits are not good to each other.
Calligraphy critics said: "These four outstanding calligraphy masters are unique in ancient and modern times. However, today's people (two kings) are not as simple as the ancients (Zhong and Zhang), and today's calligraphy style is charming. " However, simple fashion rises with the development of the times, and elegant and charming styles become easier with the secular changes.
Although writing was originally created only to record language, with the development of the times, the style of books will continue to migrate, from mellow to light, from simple to gorgeous; Inheriting the former, innovation is the routine of all things.
The most valuable thing about calligraphy is that it can not only inherit the traditions of past dynasties, but also not deviate from the trend of the times; You can pursue the current fashion and don't confuse other people's bad habits. The so-called "combination of literary talent and simplicity is the style." Why idle gorgeous palaces to live in caves of the ancients and abandon exquisite treasures to ride primitive ox carts?
Critics also said: "The calligraphy presented is not as good as Xihe, just as Xihe is not as good as Zhong You and Zhang Zhi." I think this has commented on the main points of the problem, but it has not been able to tell the whole story in detail. Zhong You is good at regular script and Zhang Zhi is proficient in cursive script. Wang Xizhi has both. Compared with Zhang Zhi's cursive script king, Zhang Zhi is also good at regular script, while compared with Zhong You's regular script king, he is good at cursive script. Although his specialization is a little poor, Wang Xizhi can dabble extensively and learn from others. Generally speaking, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
