At the beginning of the first album "Ping Fu Tie", Jiang Xun presented us with a less beautiful story. From the point of view of calligraphy, Pingfu Post is "Iron Ancestor" and "Mohuang". Although the author is controversial, what the scholars did in the Western Jin Dynasty is a recognized fact. But Lu Ji, who has the greatest relationship with this position, is a complete tragedy. I only knew that Erlu was famous before, but I didn't seem to want fame and fortune. However, after reading this book, I realized that I also participated in the Eight Kings Rebellion, and I was killed by the villains. When I died in troubled times, three families were also killed, which was infinitely desolate. Lu Ji is quite talented and is the most likely author of Ping Fu Tie. In the post, he is worried about the safety of his friends, but the reality is that those friends named "Yan Xian" live longer and more freely than him, and only in troubled times can officialdom protect itself. A happy ending. "The devil dares", these four words are not only the embodiment of Lu Ji's integrity, but also the dead point. Before he died, he said, "How can you smell the flower pavilion crane?" It's amazing. My brother Lu Yun is gentler and calmer, but it's no use. The two brothers are both proud and damaged. Life is not easy for celebrities or ordinary people in the turmoil. "Reply" is a witness to the friendship between friends, but even concerned friends are deeply moved by this ending.
When it comes to the Eastern Jin Dynasty and calligraphy, one person who can't get around is Wang Xizhi, and one family who can't get around is the Wangs. Everyone is familiar with Wang Xizhi, known as the "Book Sage". Although most of the calligraphy handed down from ancient times is copied, it is also respected by future generations. However, the author's second/third series does not pay attention to this point. He described more the alliance and struggle between the Wang family, Xie family and other aristocratic families, and there was no shortage of talents during this period. The Wangs, in particular, were able to preserve the calligraphy works of ten generations in the Wu Zetian period. What kind of inheritance is this? In troubled times, it is not easy to survive, not to mention the preservation of works, even the inheritance from generation to generation, are famous. Wang Xianzhi's evaluation of father-son calligraphy is "solid but different", which is not only his confidence in his own calligraphy, but also creates an era for later calligraphy. Only in marriage, but lost happiness because of the emperor's intervention. The handwritten note to his ex-wife is also full of complaints and lamentations, like a child.
Handwriting is not only calligraphy, but also the embodiment of mood and life at that time. There are also some attitudes and behaviors towards feudal emperors and Japanese calligraphy, which are quite interesting. It is admirable to create good works. However, the preciousness of those calligraphy posts in the Southern Dynasties is that they are the proof that the literati in the Southern Dynasties lived themselves. Even if you are in troubled times, even if you are displaced, even if you are humiliated, you will never forget your yearning for beauty and the inheritance of culture. I think this is the idea that the author wants to convey most through this book.
