[Editor] Grandpa Calligraphy is a businessman. Father Kuang is the satrap of Huainan. At the age of seven, Wang Xizhi studied calligraphy with calligrapher Wei Shuo [2]. When Yu Yi met in Jingzhou, people competed to learn Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. He disagreed and said, "Children are cheap chickens and love wild owls. They all learn from books. I have to pay them back."

According to legend, there is a small pool near Wang Xizhi's residence. After Wang Xizhi practiced calligraphy, he washed his pen and practiced calligraphy here every day. After a long time, the pool water turns black, so it can be dipped in ink directly. When Wang Xizhi was the chief of Yongjia County in Wenzhou, he once waved his hand in Mo Chi Square in Wenzhou today, so there was a pool in front of the old Lucheng District Government in Wenzhou. [3]

After Wang Xizhi crossed the south, he liked mountains and rivers and made friends. "At that time, people looked at Wang Youjun, floating like a cloud and agile like a dragon." On March 3rd, the 9th year of Yonghe (353), Sun Chuo, Xu Xun, Xie Shang and Zhi Dun were given a banquet in Yinshan Lanting. Two years after the preface to the collection of Lanting was written, it was not reused by the court, which was called "going to the county because of illness" [4]. Jinxian Jinting [5]. Knowing that Wang lived in seclusion in Jinting, he came all the way from Xiaoshan to be his neighbor [6]. He was buried in Jidu Temple in Xiaojia Town.

Xi Zhi's calligraphy practice changed from the popular Cao Zhang and Eight Characters to modern cursive script, running script and regular script, which was the peak of the transformation period of calligraphy style at that time. His calligraphy letters can be found in various books and posts in Tang Dynasty, Seventeen Posts, Japanese Funeral, Confucius and other famous works. His son Wang Xianzhi is also a calligrapher. Xi studied under Chen Jun's Xie An, and Xie An's calligraphy became a model.

Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, praised: "A detailed study of ancient and modern times, a detailed study of seal elements, and perfection, Wang Yi is the only one! Look at the slow work, the fine work, the beautiful cut, the smoke is exposed, and the strong is even; Phoenix, like a dragon, is inclined and straight.

[Editor] Anecdote

Painting story of the right army fan in the promenade of the Summer Palace

Chi Jian thought he was the right person and decided to marry his daughter Xi Zhuo. [9] Son-in-law is called "Dong Yi" for this reason, so "Dong Chuang" or "Dong Chuang of a married woman" has become synonymous with praising the woman's family for getting married well.

Wang Xizhi is fond of geese [10]. Legend has it that he likes to observe the movements of goose feet when swimming, and learn from them to improve his calligraphy skills [1 1]. There is a Taoist priest in Yinshan who hopes that Wang Xizhi can copy a Huang Ting Jing for him, but he is afraid to put forward it rashly. He carefully raised the white goose and gave it to him, and made a request to write a scripture. Wang Xizhi promised him to copy a copy of Huang Tingjing for him. Later, this "Huang Ting Jing" was called the second official book of the Right Army, also called "Changing Goose Posts". Song Tuoben of this post is now in the Palace Museum in Beijing. Li Bai's poem "Mirror Lake overflows with clear waves, and fanatics return to the boat for leisure." If the Taoists in Yin Shan meet, they should write Huang Ting for the White Goose. " [ 12]。
