What about Wang Xizhi's commentary?

Wang Xianzhi (344-386), a calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was a fine-print official slave. A native of Linyi, Langya, was once a satrap and was called "Wang Daling" by the world. Also known as "two kings" with his father, he is called "big king" and "little king". Wang Xianzhi devoted his life to the study of calligraphy. He is very clever. He once said to his father, "The ancient Zhangcao failed to prosper ... adults should change their bodies." (Zhang Huaiguan's book breaks) He is not satisfied with everything being the same as others, so he innovates himself. Zhang Huaiguan's Review said: "Amethyst is a knowledgeable and far-sighted person. Besides cursing, he also opened a new door. My husband's calligraphy is not true, far away, between Ji and Meng. Those who are both true and true are called true; The one with grass is called Zou Cao. Amethyst's method is not grass, it is convenient for grass to flow, it is open in the line, the grass is in the middle ... among the brushwork, the most romantic one is also. " His unconventional new book style is called "breaking the body" and "a book" [2] In this political career, the editor has served as a state principal book, a doctor's secretary, a secretary, a long history, a satrap and other official positions; After he became Xu, he was promoted to secretary of the secretariat (equivalent to prime minister). But his grades are average, far less than his title. Therefore, it is called "Da Ling". His greatest contribution in life is how to bring up future generations. He set an example for future generations all his life! This is an indispensable part of Wang Xianzhi's political career. This is also his greatest achievement. Editing this calligraphy art calligraphy features Wang Xianzhi's thirteen-line jasper version of Luo Shenfu originally expanded his life's art, which was not conservative, but it was different from his father in word length, which was his achievement and also different from his father. For his family, it is indispensable to learn from the source and study hard. His poetry and calligraphy, as a rising star in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, his success is not accidental. His development has his glory! His cursive script is as skillful, graceful and romantic as his father and son calling themselves two kings. Wang Xianzhi practiced calligraphy with his father since childhood, and he was very ambitious. Later, he regarded Zhang Zhi as a whole. He is famous for his running script and cursive script, but he also has a deep foundation in regular script and official script, because Tang Taizong didn't appreciate his works very much, and his works were not as many as his father's. The masterpiece "Thirteen Lines of Luo Shen Fu" handed down from ancient times is also called "Thirteen Lines of Jade Edition". Wang Xianzhi's "Duck Head Pill" sticks to Wang Xianzhi's calligraphy art, which mainly inherits the family law, but does not stick to the rules, but makes a breakthrough. In his calligraphy works handed down from generation to generation, it is not difficult to see his inheritance of family studies and traces of his own new way. The predecessors commented on Wang Xianzhi's calligraphy "Dancing in the snow, Yue Long in the clear spring". Precise and ingenious, unexpected. "His pen, from" extension "to" extension ". His cursive script is even more valuable. Yu Zhuo once said: "The cursive script was handed down from Zhang Zhi in the Han Dynasty, just a wonderful person and a slave. "His cursive script Mo Bao handed down from generation to generation includes Duck Head Pill Post and Mid-Autumn Post, all of which are imitations of the Tang Dynasty. His "Duck Head Pill Tie" is a cursive script with the word * * * 15 in silk. In the Qing Dynasty, Wu Qizhen praised this post in the Book of Calligraphy and Painting, saying: "(This post) calligraphy is elegant, beautiful, natural and interesting, and it is the supreme product. "His Mid-Autumn Post is a cursive script with 22 Chinese characters. It looks new and rare in the world. Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty listed it as a "national treasure". He also created a "book", which turned his father's unconnected grass from top to bottom into connected grass, often a coherent number. Because of its magnificent calligraphy, it is valued by the world. Wang Xianzhi Mid-Autumn Festival Post (Mifei copied) Like his father, Wang Xianzhi's books are not limited to learning a subject, but poor. Therefore, we can create our own unique style on the basis of "gathering the strengths of many families and the beauty of many bodies". Finally, he achieved an artistic position alongside Wang Xizhi. Book traces include Mid-Autumn Post written by Mi Fei in the Song Dynasty. Wang Xianzhi was a giant among calligraphers in Wei and Jin Dynasties. The careful teaching and guidance of his father Wang Xizhi laid a solid foundation for his brushwork. As one of the masters in the late Wei and Jin Dynasties, he objectively provided him with the opportunity to learn from others and to be eclectic, and won the artistic status and prestige that kept pace with Wang Xizhi. These works spread to Wang Xianzhi's Goose Stick. Wang Xianzhi's ink is rarely preserved, and its quantity is far less than that of Wang Xizhi. Wang Xianzhi's works in the imperial palace "only exist" because Emperor Taizong condescended to provide them instead of buying them. Calligraphy in the early Song Dynasty emphasized "two kings". Song Taizong and Zhao Guangyi attached great importance to calligraphy, bought Mo Bao, a famous ancient emperor, and ordered Wang Shuzhu to copy ten volumes. This is the famous "Spring Flower Pavilion Post". " Every minister who goes to the second palace will get a gift. "Half of the posts are works of Two Kings. There are 73 pieces of Wang Xianzhi's calligraphy works, and more than 20 pieces have been verified by later generations as fakes or written by others. During the reign of Xuanhe in the Northern Song Dynasty, Song Huizong was good at Wang Xianzhi's calligraphy, and the collection of Wang Xianzhi's calligraphy in Xuanhe Pu Shu increased to more than 80 pieces. However, most of these ink books have not been preserved, and the remaining ink books are no more than seven, and they are all replicas. Fortunately, there are still some original prints of past dynasties, which have left valuable information for us to learn and understand Wang Xianzhi's calligraphy. The regular script Father and Son, which influenced later Wang Xianzhi, became famous all over the world. Calligraphers below the Tang and Song Dynasties write regular script, which is neat, handsome and charming. Their father and son's calligraphy is really immortal and has indelible appeal. Later generations followed the example of the two kings when learning to walk in sandals [3] In the century and a half from the end of Jin Dynasty to Liang Dynasty, his influence even surpassed that of his father Wang Xizhi. Yuan Ang, a painter and calligrapher in the Liang Dynasty, said in the Book Review of Ancient and Modern Times: "The wonder of Zhang Zhi, the unique of Zhong You, is the best in the world. "Combined with the four sages. Wang Xianzhi was once pushed by the highest calligrapher during the Song and Qi Dynasties. Concentrated on learning books from his father, he was very talented and sensitive to innovation. He transferred to Zhang Zhi and created a cursive script that runs from top to bottom. He even surpassed his father and became a saint, and he was called "two kings" with his father. Liang Tao Hongjing's On Books says: "Everyone in the world respects books", "Everything in the world is nothing more than ignorance." At that time, it almost became Wang Xianzhi's world. Until the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong highly praised Wang Xizhi and belittled Wang Xianzhi. Some calligraphy critics began to think that Wang Xianzhi's calligraphy was inferior to his father Wang Xizhi. But Mi Fei, a calligrapher in the Northern Song Dynasty, mainly learned from Wang Xianzhi. Hu Xiaoshi, a famous modern scholar and calligrapher, thinks that Weeds by Zhang Xu and Huai Su was developed from Wang Xianzhi cursive script. Wang Xianzhi, the former residence of Linyi Wang Xizhi, had two wives in his life. One is his cousin Xi, who is hypocritical; One is the daughter of Jian Wendi in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Princess Sima Daoqian in Xin 'an. Besides, the story of Wang Xianzhi and his concubine Ye Tao has always been a hot topic in folklore. It is said that he once wrote "Peach Leaf Song" to send beauty. Yun Daomao and Wang Xianzhi are childhood friends and know each other. Wang Xizhi, a "son-in-law", married Chi Jian's daughter, Xi's respectable aunt. Wang Xizhi is not only closely related to Tan's in-laws, but also has a deep friendship. According to records, Wang Xizhi's Preface to the Orchid Pavilion was given to Tan as a sacrifice, but it was stolen by warlords because of the war. When Xi reached marriageable age, Wang Xizhi asked Xi's family for his seventh son, Wang Xianzhi. Both Wang Xizhi and Tan died in 36 1 year, and their mother died earlier. Shortly after they got married, they supported each other in the face of successive blows from the death of their loved ones. Yun Daomao and Wang Xianzhi are a sincere and like-minded young couple. Although Wang Xianzhi had a smooth career all his life, he was arrogant and uninhibited, and his career feelings were indifferent. He is keen on calligraphy and painting, and he likes clear water and beautiful mountains. Xi accompanied him with dignity, sang with his wife and loved Cha-cha. Yun Daomao and Wang Xianzhi had a daughter named Yurun who died soon and was never born again. Wang Xianzhi, Princess of Xin 'an, was once the most romantic princess. Princess Xin 'an admired her for a long time, so she divorced and asked the emperor to marry her to Wang Xianzhi. The emperor ordered Wang Xianzhi to get rid of the inverted hairs and marry Princess Xin 'an. Wang Xianzhi loved Xi deeply, and refused to get married by scalding her feet with wormwood. She suffered from foot disease all the year round for the rest of her life, making her unable to move. Even so, it didn't help, and Wang Xianzhi could barely take a rest. Yun Daomao's father died, and after the divorce, he had to go to the fence of his uncle's house. He never married again, and his life was gloomy and gloomy. According to the Book of Jin, I wrote a letter to a respectable person after the divorce. The content of the record is: "Although I have served for a long time, I can be happy at the time, and my peach leaves are always bitter and inexhaustible. "Only if you want to grow old with your sister can you say goodbye! I'm full of worries. Why should I see my sister every day? Pitching is sad, there is nothing, but when you die! " Wang Xianzhi has always felt guilty about hypocrisy. On his deathbed, the Taoist asked him what regrets he had in his life. He sighed: "Nothing else, just regret divorcing the Xi family." Sima Daofu (Princess Yuyao, also known as Princess Xin 'an), the daughter of Jian Wendi and Xu Guiren (Xu Shuyuan), was betrothed to Huan Gong, the husband of the son of Huan Wen, a general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In the first year of Kangning (373), at the beginning of Emperor Xiaowu's accession to the throne, Ma Xuhuan Qi and his younger brother Huan Xi participated in the secret plot of Huan Chong to kill his uncle, then general of chariots and horses, and commander of seven states. Things are exposed. Huan Wen ordered the arrest of his son and Ji before he died. Therefore, Emperor Xiaowu abolished Huan Ji's Xu and exiled him to Changsha. Emperor Xiao decided to remarry Princess Xin 'an to Wang Xianzhi. But this year, Emperor Xiaowu was only 1 1 years old. Can he make such a decision? Therefore, this is probably mainly due to the decisions of Xie An, Wang, and other important officials in charge of state affairs, as well as the wishes of Xu Guiren, the mother of Princess Xin 'an. Xie An, as one of the decision makers, should think it is worth forgetting Wang Xizhi. Xie An is also the uncle of the wife of Wang Ningzhi, the second son of Wang Xizhi. Because of the marriage relationship between Xie and Wang, Xie supported the remarriage of Princess Xin 'an. He pulled Wang Xianzhi into the palace, which provided Wang Xianzhi with a fast lane to directly enter the imperial power. Such kindness and love hurt Wang Xianzhi's own feelings, and also planted the seeds of great disaster and great sadness for his daughter. As a result, who would have thought of it? Under the guidance of Xie An and other directors, Xiao Wu, the young emperor, still chose Xu. Although he already has a wife, the relationship between husband and wife is still very harmonious. Therefore, Wang Xianzhi was forced to divorce Yun Daomao. When Wang Xianzhi was forty-one, she and Princess Xin 'an gave birth to a daughter named Shen Ai. Since then, the life of Princess Xin 'an has never been recorded. It is estimated that she died shortly after Wang Xianzhi's death. Daughter Shen Ai later became the queen of Andy Sima Dezong.
