1、? Zheng Banqiao studied calligraphy.
A summer night? Zheng Banqiao and his wife are sitting outside enjoying the cool. He writes on his knees with his fingers, and then writes on his wife. His wife hit his hand angrily and said, "You have your body, and I have my body. Why not write about your own body and write about other people's bodies? "
When sleeping at night, Zheng Banqiao thought, everyone has his own body, and writing has his own font, which is different! Why do I always learn other people's fonts instead of writing my own style? From then on, he learned from the strengths of various schools, combined official script with seal script, grass, lines and model letters, and used painting to write, and finally formed a "six books and a half" which was highly praised by people and often called "rocky pile", and became a famous painter and calligrapher with high reputation in Qing Dynasty.
Step 2 ask for rice paste
Yan Zhenqing, an old minister of three dynasties in Tang Dynasty, is honest and upright, and enjoys a high reputation at home and abroad. But because of honesty and self-sufficiency, I will never be greedy, so I often can't eat and wear.
He once wrote a begging letter to Li Taibao at that time, saying that he was poor in production and had many index fingers at home. The whole family has been drinking porridge for several months, and now there is no rice, which is very annoying. I hope for the sake of old friendship, I can ask for some food for relief. That situation is really pitiful. Yan Zhenqing's achievements in calligraphy have always been admired by later generations, and also inspired by his personality to some extent.
3. Iron gate clearance
Master Zhiyong is good at regular script and cursive script, and can master Wang Xizhi's demeanor. Although he practiced in Yongxing Temple, his calligraphy became more and more famous. Many people ask for his calligraphy works through various relationships. People came and went in an endless stream, and the threshold was trampled, so he had to wrap the threshold with iron sheets. People laughed and called it "iron gate limit".
4. Put up couplets at night
One year on New Year's Day, Wang Xizhi posted couplets three times in a row, and those who loved his words stole them. On New Year's Eve, I had to write another letter. He was afraid of being exposed again, so he cut it up and down and put it in half first.
The first part is "double happiness" and the second part is "double misfortune". In this way, it really worked. When people saw that what he wrote was unlucky and not rich, they stopped revealing it. At the beginning of the new year, Wang Xizhi posted half a sentence each, and the couplet became: "Happiness never ends today, but it never rains but it pours last night." Passers-by clapped their hands and sighed.
5. Preface to Lanting Collection
Wang Xizhi loved writing since he was a child. It is said that when he usually walks, he also practices calligraphy with his fingers at any time. After a long time, even his clothes were cut. After studying hard and practicing hard, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy has reached a high level.
On one occasion, Wang Xizhi and his friends gave a banquet in Yinshan Lanting, Huiji County. Everyone writes poems while drinking. Finally, Wang Xizhi wrote an article on the spot to commemorate this banquet, which is the famous Preface to Lanting Collection. Wang Xizhi's Preface to Lanting Collection has always been regarded as a treasure of China's calligraphy art, but its original work has been lost.
