Wang Xizhi's Preface to Lanting

biographies of people

Wang Xizhi (321-379) has few words. Langya Linyi (now Linyi City, Shandong Province) lives in Shanyin, Huiji (now Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province). The famous calligrapher of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in China is known as the "Book Sage". Commentators call it a pen gesture, thinking that it is like floating clouds and agile as a dragon. Official career, official worship of the right army generals, will record the internal history, so the world called Wang Youjun. There are 27 essays in existence today, most of which are miscellaneous books and notes, and the preface to the poems of Lanting on March 3 (a preface to the collection of Lanting) is the most famous. In the spring of 353 A.D., Wang Xizhi and 41 celebrities such as Xie An, Sun Chuo, Xu Xun, and Zhi Dun had a banquet in the Lanting Pavilion in the mountains of Huiji, and everyone was in the stream, expressing their arms and compiling it as Preface to Lanting. Wang made a fine speech. Today's Lanting Poetry includes 37 works written by 21 people. The article is fluent, free and easy, and full of poetic meaning, but it creates an artistic environment that impacts the philosophy of Laozi and Zhuangzi in poetry. Today, there are three poems, which are not divorced from the style of metaphysical poetry in form. Among them, the poem "Lanting Poetry" (Looking Up at the Blue Sky) is of high value. The sentence "although the group is uneven, it is nothing but new to me" is quite reasonable and interesting. Shen Deqian's "Ancient Poetry Source" said: "Not only is the order good, but the poetry is also clear and beyond the customs."

Preface to Lanting Collection

Explanation

In March of the ninth year of Emperor Yong of Jin Dynasty (353), forty-one people, including Wang Xizhi, Xie An and Sun Chuo, gathered in Lanting of Shanyin (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang) and held a gathering of scholars. They wrote poems on the stream, expressing their arms, and the author made a preface to record the grand occasion of the banquet, and "declared his ambition."

The original

Yonghe was nine years old, and at the beginning of the spring, he would be in Lanting, which is in the mountains of Huiji, to repair things. A group of wise men never fails to arrive, but a few are long and salty. There are mountains and mountains here, and bamboo is cultivated in Maolin; There is also a clear current and turbulent flow, which reflects the left and right. It is thought that flowing water is the second place, although it is not as prosperous as silk and bamboo orchestral strings, it is enough to talk about love. It's sunny, sunny, breezy, looking up at the size of the universe and looking down at the richness of categories, so it's enough to enjoy watching and listening, and believe in cola.

Mrs. Xiang, pitch for life, or take the arms and talk in one room; Or because of the entrustment, let the waves go. Although the choice is different, the calmness is different. When they are happy with what they have met, they will temporarily gain from themselves and quickly become self-sufficient. They never knew that the old age was coming. And what he is tired of, his feelings move with the times, and his feelings are sentimental. I am delighted with it, and between pitching, it has become a thing of the past, so I still have to be happy with it. The situation is short and short, and it will end in the end. The ancients said, "Life and death are great." It hurts!

every time I look at the reasons why the ancients were excited, if they are in harmony, they will mourn over the article, which can't be said in their hearts. Knowing that a dead life is a false birthday, Qi Peng's ruin is a mistake. Seeing the present in the future is still looking at the past today. Sad husband! Therefore, when people are listed, they are recorded. Although the world is different, it is a good thing to be pregnant. Those who visit later will also be impressed by sven.
