Wang Xizhi was a calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He learned from others and created a unique calligraphy style, which was praised as "the saint of calligraphy" by later generations. His calligraphy is vigorous and beautiful, combining rigidity with softness, which is unmatched by many calligraphers in later generations. So many people who study calligraphy take his handwriting as a model. Among his handed down books and posts are Preface to Lanting Collection and Huang Tingjing.
Wang Xizhi has a great talent for calligraphy since he was a child. At the age of seven, he was already famous and could write with one hand. At the age of twelve, Wang Xizhi accidentally found a good calligraphy book in his father's study and secretly took it out to read. Since then, he studied day and night, meticulously practiced calligraphy according to the methods mentioned in the book, and his calligraphy level has been continuously improved.
Although Wang Xizhi's handwriting is so good, it has something to do with his talent, but the most important thing is his hard work. In order to practice his handwriting well, whether he is resting or walking, he must think about the structure of the font, try to figure out the shelf and momentum of the word, and keep paddling his fingers on his skirt. So after a long time, even my clothes were cut.
Wang Xizhi practices calligraphy every day, and then goes to the pond in the back garden to clean the pen and inkstone. Over time, the whole pond was infected with juice, which shows how hard Wang Xizhi practiced calligraphy! It is said that Wang Xizhi loves geese very much and often watches them swim around in the river in a daze. Later, he even realized the principle of writing brush from the movements of geese, which was of great help to improve his calligraphy skills.
Once, he went to a Taoist temple to play, and when he saw a group of geese were lovely, he asked the Taoist priest to sell them to him. The Taoist priest in Guanli admired his calligraphy for a long time and asked him to write a copy of Huang Tingjing in exchange. Wang Xizhi liked those geese very much and agreed. So Wang Xizhi wrote a poem "Huang Ting Jing" for Guan Li, and the Taoist gave him those geese.
One morning, Wang Xizhi was walking alone at the foot of the mountain. Suddenly, he saw an elderly woman taking a dozen paper fans to the market to sell. Each paper fan can only sell for twenty yuan. Seeing the poor old woman, Wang Xizhi borrowed pen and ink and wrote on each fan. Where did the old woman know Wang Xizhi? When she saw him writing on a clean paper fan, she was full of complaints.
Wang Xizhi said with a smile: "You just have to say that this is written by Wang Youjun, and each paper fan can be sold for 100 yuan!" The old woman took a paper fan and went to the market to sell it according to his words with a grain of salt. As soon as people heard this, they rushed to pay for it. After a while, a dozen fans were snapped up, and the old woman smiled with relief.
According to legend, Wang Xizhi once wrote a "blessing edition" to the court, offering sacrifices to the gods of heaven and earth, praying for peace and prosperity of the country and the people, and bumper harvests. After Emperor Jincheng ascended the throne, he ordered the bamboo board workers to change the inscription on the bamboo board. Who knows that the workers carved on the board for a long time, but they failed to scrape off the original work of Wang Xizhi. The workers carefully looked at the wishing board and were surprised and praised again and again.
It turns out that every word written by Wang Xizhi has penetrated into the wood by more than three points, like a knife carving. Where is it easy to scrape off? The workers can't help but admire: "The words of the general of the right army are really incisive!"
