How to evaluate Wang Xizhi

Wang Xizhi is one of the famous calligraphers in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. His calligraphy has an important historical position and reference value in China. So, how do people evaluate Wang Xizhi? The following is Wang Xizhi's comments I compiled for you, hoping to help you.

What do celebrities say about Wang Xizhi and Yanyun Jr. It is not uncommon for a son to respect him, and it is not uncommon for him to escape less. ?

Wing:? I once had ten pieces of paper with Cao, but I got lost when crossing the river, and often lamented that the beautiful traces would never disappear. Suddenly, I saw the first step to write back to my brother. I was radiant and still old-fashioned. ?

Liang Wudi:? Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is like a dragon, and the tiger lies in the phoenix, so it has been treasured for generations and always wants to practice calligraphy. ?

Emperor Taizong:? I am eager to pursue my hand, this person is like that, and the rest is like that. What's the point? ?

I'm afraid: the book of the west says:? Looking for masterpieces, Zhong Zhangxin is unparalleled, and the rest are insufficient. ? Another cloud:? My book is better than Zhong and Zhang Dang, and Cao Zhang is still a wild goose.

Sun Guoting:? Chang Yuan (Zhong You) specializes in official script, while Boying (Zhang Zhi) is especially good at cursive script, which is both beautiful and relaxed. ?

Miffy:? Xie An's condolence post, in an ancient word, is above the two kings, so it is appropriate to criticize the post in the end. ?

Overall evaluation of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is Wang Xizhi known as? Book saint? Whether you know calligraphy or not, you know Wang Xizhi, a unique calligrapher. In the sea of calligraphy in Wang Yang, Wang Xizhi was established as a lighthouse by many calligraphers, and was set as a model by calligraphy in previous dynasties. The famous calligraphers in previous dynasties were measured by Wang Xizhi's standards. Few later calligraphers have not copied Wang Xizhi's calligraphy posts, so there are? Book saint? Fame.

Some commentators said:? Although China praised Wang Xizhi's behavior in the history of books? Book saint? But he is not regarded as a solidified icon, but only as a creation of calligraphy in China culture? Perfect? A symbol of. Things are always developing and progressing. Has Wang Xizhi reached his time? Perfect? The peak of this? Icon? It is bound to summon the latecomers to climb the new height of calligraphy in their respective times. ? Although it broke the worship of Wang Xizhi here, it still failed to break the pattern of people knowing Wang Xizhi. Why is Wang Xizhi's calligraphy the best? Why is Wang Xizhi's work considered flawless?

Wang Xizhi's position as a calligrapher has two major factors:

First, the promotion of Emperor Taizong. Emperor Taizong appreciated Wang Xizhi's calligraphy very much, and called calligraphers from all over the world and the imperial court to copy the Preface to Lanting. This promoted Wang Xizhi's calligraphy status to a certain extent. But this is not absolute. Tang Taizong's calligraphy attainments are not shallow, and he should be able to judge Wang Xizhi's calligraphy level. Emperor Taizong is only an external cause, and the main reason is Wang Xizhi himself.

Second, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy skills. Calligraphers of all ages regarded Wang Xizhi as? Book saint? Therefore, there are no shortcomings in evaluating Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. Because the conclusion is that Wang Xizhi is perfect, Wang Xizhi is absolute and Wang Xizhi is insurmountable. Calligraphers of past dynasties, including Liu Zhao, Su Huang Camouflage, Weng Liu Chengtie and many others, were almost inseparable from Wang Xizhi's calligraphy.

I think the main reason is China's feudal orthodoxy and the doctrine of the mean:

Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is regarded as the orthodoxy of calligraphy, and Wang Xizhi's method is also regarded as the orthodoxy of calligraphy. Anyone who violates Wang Xizhi's laws is regarded as treason. But is it not good to violate Wang Xizhi's law? Some people say that Wang Xizhi's laws are still in use, but those that violate Wang Xizhi's laws no longer exist. Think about it, can this law, which was spurned as soon as it came out, be passed down? When Wang Xizhi's calligraphy was regarded as orthodox, Ou Yangxun, Yan Zhenqing, Liu Gongquan, Zhao Mengfu and other calligraphers were all influenced by Wang Xizhi to varying degrees. As we all know, the font of imperial examination was mainly European style for quite some time. This developed Ou Yangxun to some extent and Wang Xizhi indirectly. When Ou Yangxun was honored as a model of European style, later European style calligraphers took Ou Yangxun as the standard, so they could never surpass Ou Yangxun. Wang Xizhi was copied by Ou Yangxun and became an unattainable peak.

What does Wang Xizhi's calligraphy look like to calligraphers? Everyone has no characteristics, and everyone has no style? And who is Wang Xizhi? The beauty of the mean? . This standard is regarded as the ultimate realm of calligraphy, which is obviously limited by Confucianism. When we equate Wang Xizhi with the essence of Confucianism, we will find that Wang Xizhi has become a Confucian Confucius and an unshakable saint in calligraphy. Then, no matter how great a calligrapher is, judging by Wang Xizhi's standards, it is of course unparalleled. Huai Su, Zhang Xu, Wang Duo and other comments are too bold compared with Wang Xizhi. It is not surprising that Ou Yangxun is too dull compared with Wang Xizhi. In the feudal society of China ruled by Confucianism, as long as Confucianism does not waver, Wang Xizhi will not waver. Contemporary times are different, and the status of Confucianism has greatly declined. Therefore, many calligraphers began to criticize and reflect on Wang Xizhi. Must our calligraphy be moderate? Must not be left or right?

If Wang Xizhi is an unattainable peak, then the calligraphy in the Tang Dynasty is not as good as that in Jin Dynasty, Song Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, Qing Dynasty, Republic of China and Republic of China. Aside from Wang Xizhi's taboo, shouldn't we calligraphers reflect?

Humble opinion! In order to prepare for the improvement of calligraphy level before examining one's own opinions. See if you can have new ideas in the future.

How does Wang Xizhi evaluate himself? My book is more popular than Zhong and Zhang Dang, or call it. Cao Zhang is especially a wild goose. Zhang is good at being extraordinary, learning books in the pool, and doing everything in the pool; If I am addicted to it, I may not thank it. Everyone who understands later knows that their comments are true. I worked hard for a long time and found out all the old books. Only Zhong and Zhang were unparalleled, and the rest were small and refined, so I didn't care enough. Up to the second sage, down to the servant book. It is necessary to deepen the meaning of the book and highlight the meaning between paintings. If you can't finish talking, everything will be fine. Shi Liping, welcome. The related contents of Lun Shu were expressed in Yu Lan's Lun Shu Biao during the Liu and Song Dynasties in the Southern Dynasties. Jin Shu? The biography of Wang Xizhi is also recorded; In the Tang Dynasty, Sun cited the Book Score. Although there are small differences in terms of words, the general idea is the same.

Wang Xizhi put his calligraphy art at the height of China's calligraphy history. He thinks that "Zhong Zhang is the best and the rest are the best, so I don't care." And his own calligraphy is comparable to that of Zhong You and Zhang Zhize, showing a parallel trend, or surpassing them in some places, especially the cursive script close to Zhang Zhize. Wang Xizhi's evaluation of his calligraphy art is fair and objective, without exaggeration or modesty, and full of the confidence of a generation of masters. Wang Xizhi tried to learn from Zhong You and Zhang Zhi. Zhong You's apparition has been highly valued by the Wang family, and many people in the family have studied it. Only Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is worse. Wang Xizhi once said that "a true book is better than a clock, so the grass is reduced." In fact, Wang Xizhi's cursive script is natural, pure and vivid, which is recognized as better than Zhang's. Now we can see from the cursive scripts such as Seventeen Posts. Wang Xizhi acknowledged Zhang Zhi's efforts to "learn from the law pool and learn from the ink", but Wang Xizhi's skills in his later years were not inferior to Zhang Zhi's.

Compared with other contemporary artists, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy art is "Pingnan, Shi Li comments on Jun without thanking". Pingnan is Wang Pingnan, Wang Xizhi's uncle Wang Xun; Shi Li is Mrs Wei's nephew. They are all famous calligraphers. Wang Xizhi is obviously ahead of them, but here he says, "Don't thank me for my comments." .
