Appreciation of Mrs. Wei's calligraphy works
As a famous female calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Mrs. Wei has had an indissoluble bond with calligraphy since she was born. Her great-grandfather is Wei Ji's great-granddaughter, her grandfather is Wei Guan, and her uncle is Wei Heng. They are both famous calligraphers.
Because of his family background, Wei Shuo loved calligraphy when he was young. Under the careful guidance of his grandfather Wei Guan, he got a true biography from fingering, calligraphy and exhibition. Grandfather is very strict with her. If there are any defects, he must personally demonstrate and guide her to open some micro-masters until she is satisfied. Not only that, Wei Shuo himself is also very strict with himself. Because I can't buy paper, I use bricks instead of paper, splash ink, get up in the morning and forget to eat and sleep until my arm hurts. Besides studying at home, she also studied under Zhong You. After trying to get Zhong You's rubbings, I kept reading, reading and reciting, combined with my own thinking and understanding, and then practiced repeatedly, painstakingly trying to figure out. On the basis of learning from others, I formed my own style and honed my own calligraphy style, especially official script and regular script. Her famous post "Bi Tu" was described by the Tang people as "a flower arrangement dancer, a low hibiscus, a beautiful woman on the stage, a fairy taking a picture, a red lotus pouring water, a blue marsh floating clouds", which can be seen.
In addition, Mrs. Wei's calligraphy taste has also opened up new appreciation ideas for future generations. She first put forward the theory of "bones and muscles", thinking that calligraphy should be vigorous, pay attention to "strength and strength", and strive for strength, that is, the bones are strange and beautiful, and the "meat" is "ink pig" Can't be called a good calligraphy work.
If Mrs. Wei's calligraphy works are "stunning and graceful as Youlong", then Wei Shuo can afford Li Shangyin's sentence "She is a crayon in a dream and wants to send flowers and leaves to the clouds".

Mrs. Wei, who was taught by a famous teacher since childhood, is diligent and studious, persistent in practicing calligraphy and good at regular script. At that time, because regular script was still in the development stage, it was similar to official script, and it was in urgent need of development and expansion. Mrs. Wei constantly honed the skills of regular script, and combined with her previous experience, the font was beautiful, which was very different from official script and became a great help to promote the maturity of regular script.
It is said that Mrs. Wei's calligraphy was appreciated by famous writers at that time.
