Preface to Lanting Collection, also known as Preface to Lanting Collection, Preface to Lanting Banquet Collection, Preface to He Lin, Preface to Zan and Zan Tie. Preface to Lanting Collection was written by Wang Xizhi, a calligrapher in Jin Dynasty. It narrated the beauty of landscape and the joy of gathering around Lanting, and expressed the author's feelings of impermanence of life and death. Calligraphy has been handed down from generation to generation, with 28 lines and 324 words. The composition, structure and brushwork are all perfect, which is his masterpiece in middle age. His calligraphy is of great artistic value. Wang Xizhi, Yan Zhenqing's "Ji Ming's Sacrifice to the Nephew" and Su Shi's "Cold Food Post" are also called the three major calligraphy posts.
Where the word "2 1" is located: in early spring, it will meet in Lanting in Huiji Mountain. Although not all stringed instruments, it is enough to look up at the size of the universe and look down at the prosperity of various categories. My wife is in the same room, I don't know that old age is coming. And he's tired of being emotional. When you are excited by it, you can't help being excited by it. Every time you see the reason why people are excited by it, you can't compare with it. After that, you can look at the present, and you can also look at the past and the future.

Sometimes when we say Preface to Lanting, we don't mean the whole calligraphy. Just saying one word, that is, the word "zhi", is enough to explain Wang Xizhi's calligraphy skill. This post has 2 1 word "Zhi" in succession, with different shapes and beautiful boundaries.

It is easy for different characters to write different gestures, but it is not easy for the same character to write different gestures. In particular, there are 2 1 word "zhi" in this post, which are different from each other, which is also the genius of Wang Xizhi.

Wang Xizhi lived in Wei and Jin Dynasties, which was a period from official script to regular script, Cao Zhang and modern grass. Wang Xizhi is good at regular script, and regular script has also made great artistic achievements. Because of his accomplishments in regular script, Wang Xizhi brought the writing of regular script into cursive script. If Wang Xizhi hadn't studied the brushwork of regular script seriously and borrowed the turning brushwork of regular script from cursive script, perhaps Wang Xizhi wouldn't have been able to push cursive script to a new height and gain the reputation of calligrapher.

Wang Xizhi learned less from Mrs. Wei and gained the skill of proofreading books. From ten to twenty years old, it's wonderful to be a teacher, an uncle and a father. After the age of 20, HQ, official script and running script are still in Zhong You, and the grass method follows the example of Zhang Zhi. It is precisely because of the strengths of many families that they showed extraordinary skill in writing Preface to Lanting. Then let's appreciate the difference between the word "knowledge" in this post.

As can be seen from the above text, Wang Xizhi's pen basically enters the paper from the side, then turns to the center, or directly uses the side. But both the center and the winger have a remarkable feature, that is, the front line is sharp. The beginning of each word is sharp, and then it turns to the flank or center, which is beneficial to the stroke and overall direction of the next stroke. We can appreciate the following words and see the beauty of sharp writing.

There is a small sharp line at the beginning of the pen. In fact, this is the mark of cutting. Let's just say that this little sharp point is the first action when the pen enters the paper. Its function is to open a pen or press it. Not only the word "knowledge" in this post is written in this way, but also other words.

Wang Xizhi used this word, that is, the front will adjust quickly at the turning point, so it will not lose its strength at the turning point. This is the secret of Wang Xizhi's writing style "to the point".

Wang Xizhi's Preface to Lanting has a lot to do with his brushwork. Through the appreciation of the word "Zhi", there is indeed a unique aesthetic feeling, which is incomparable to other calligraphers.
