"Spring Flower Pavilion Post" is called "Pavilion Post" for short. For more than two thousand years since the Qin and Han Dynasties, most of the original calligraphy books have been lost and extinct. Ge Tie preserved the extinct calligraphy masterpieces for future generations. There are historical records: "There are more than a thousand original works of Wang Xizhi in the period of Emperor Taizong (Li Shimin). When I went to Song Taizong (Zhao Guangyi) to print kiosks, there were only fifty or sixty, including a large number of copies. "
Wang Xizhi's Preface to Lanting is publicly promoted as the best running script in the world in history, firstly because it is really good, and secondly, Lanting Preface is a mature masterpiece of running script, which is completely mature for Wang Xizhi, and its position is supreme. I'm sorry, I'm the founder, but you learned from me.
First of all, we should exclude some so-called "world firsts", such as Ou Yangxun and Ouyang Tong. Mi Fei, Mi Youren and his son; Zhao Mengfu, Zhao Yong and his son; Wen Zhiming, Wen Peng and his son. Comments in history are that children are not as good as their parents. I have never heard of such comparisons as Er Ou, Mill, Er Zhao and Wen Er. Known as the "two kings", there are only Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi and his son in the history books. From anyone's mouth, the interference of tunnel sounds that do not conform to the laws of art, and the deception of exaggerated words deliberately advocated by the imperial power for ideological reasons.
Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is more popular than Wang Xianzhi's. I am one of them. Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is calm and hearty. If you have the style of Rainbow Xianzhi, there is nothing wrong. Calligraphy ranking is meaningless. Even things with hard indicators on mobile phones can't all be ranked. What's more, calligraphy is completely different people's subjective feelings.
