Frankly speaking, I have also been to Lanting four times. I went to Shaoxing with my family for the first time to visit her comrades in the Inner Mongolia Construction Corps. We took the opportunity to visit Lanting. Write a poem: "Qu Shui Liu Xiu, the preface of Lanting Collection has been passed down to this day. It is difficult to climb the ancient sacred heaven after learning to pitch the forest of steles. " It's more straightforward.
The second time I went to Shaoxing with some "donkey friends". When we visited Lanting, it happened to be the second day of the third lunar month. The slogan reads "Warmly welcome the guests at home and abroad attending the 25th China Lanting Calligraphy Festival". I can't help asking, "When will it start?" The answer is "tomorrow". This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. "It is better to hit the sun than to choose a day." I discussed with my friends, "Tomorrow, I won't go, and I will go to Lanting for another day." The donkey friend knew my hobby and agreed to meet in Jiaxing.
So the next day, March 3, I came to Lanting for the third time, visited calligraphers all over the country, drank poems and splashed ink. I wrote in my interest: "On March 3rd, I walked in Lanting, and calligraphers gathered by Quxi. Poetic and picturesque, antique and prosperous. " I just said how I felt at that time.
The fourth time I took my wife and grandson to Shaoxing. Under my influence, my little grandson also likes and practices calligraphy. When I visited Lanting, I became his tour guide and explained the origin of Lanting. According to Yue Jueshu, Gou Jian, the king of Yue, planted orchid bamboo fields here, and built a post pavilion in the Han Dynasty, named after the orchid pavilion. This is also an "ancient post station".
When I arrived at the Goose Pool Pavilion, I explained that it was a "father-son monument". It is said that when Wang Xizhi was writing the word "goose", he suddenly heard the imperial edict and picked it up. His son continued to write the word "pool" conveniently, setting up a monument for his father and son, and being a calligrapher, which became an eternal story. Looking closely at the "goose" thin "pool" fat, the words of father and son are still slightly different.
When I arrived at the Imperial Monument Pavilion, I explained that it was a monument for my grandparents and grandchildren. The front is the full text of Preface to Lanting copied by Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty, followed by the poem Seven Laws written by his grandson Emperor Qianlong. You see, the emperors of the Qing Dynasty were all calligraphers. They copied the inscriptions from childhood, not overnight, but also learned to write bit by bit.
In front of the "Tai" monument, he explained that the word "Da" was originally written. Wang Xianzhi wrote some words to read to his father. Wang Xizhi thought that the word "big" he wrote was tight and loose, but he couldn't help adding a little bit, which became the word "too". Wang Xianzhi happily took it and called his mother. Mom said, you have written so many words, I think only the one under the word "Tai" is the best. Wang Xianzhi was ashamed. He saw his own gap. From then on, he practiced more modestly and became a great calligrapher.
I explained the introduction all the way, which may inspire my grandson. When he came to the practice board, he immediately practiced with a pen.
In fact, in my visit and explanation, I was the one who felt the deepest. It can be said that every time I deepen my impression, I feel deep every time. It's my first time here, but I just feel that calligraphy is very good and powerful. I came here for the second time and the third time, just to play, join in the fun and feel the antique atmosphere of calligraphers.
This time, it's different. I think of Wang Xizhi's Preface to the Lanting Pavilion: "As the ancients said,' life and death are the most important'-looking back today is still looking back on the past-"I can't help but feel that Wang Xizhi's Preface to the Lanting Pavilion is not only a masterpiece of calligraphy art, but also a beautiful article that laments life. He refuted the fallacies of "death and life" and "Peng Qi's sorrow".
Therefore, I wrote another poem: "Wine and wine are lyrical, bold and natural." A generation speaks from the heart, and a thousand years of context writes Lanting. "Thought seems to have a sublimation. To learn calligraphy, we should not only learn Wang Xizhi's character and calligraphy, but also learn Wang Xizhi's character and calligraphy, his cheerful thoughts and his attitude towards life. Just as a couplet in Lanting Youjun Temple praised Wang Xizhi: "I have lived in mountains and rivers all my life, and there is no ancient and modern table in the column. "
Since then, every year on March 3rd, we stone iron calligraphy lovers will get together and hold some commemorative activities. On March 3 last year, I wrote another poem: "Peach blossoms gather at Shimen, and lyric words are written on March 3." A masterpiece is beautiful, and a book is drunk for a thousand years. "
This year's "March 3", due to the epidemic, everyone has to communicate and display on the Internet, so I can't help but write another poem: "I went to Lanting again on March 3, and my confidence in epidemic prevention at home is very strong. The world is getting better and better, and online booksellers are exhibiting works of art in memory of Preface to Lanting Collection and March 3.
