Why is Yan Zhenqing's "Sacrificing a Nephew" called "the second running script in the world"? How good is it?

What was China's calligraphy like before Yan Zhenqing wrote the manuscript? There is a word to describe it. It is elegant and gorgeous. Of course, these four words are not accurate, but we can imagine, before Yan Zhenqing appeared, who was the representative of the highest art of calligraphy in China?

It's Wang Xizhi, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy style, in short, it's a word-elegance. This kind of elegance is a noble elegance, noble nobility. Let's not forget that Wang Xizhi is not an ordinary person. He is a nobleman, but he is very different from the playboy we remember. Although Wang Xizhi is a rich second generation, he cares about the sufferings of the people and often cares about the country and people, so he wrote a letter to the old lady selling fans on the street. Looking at Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, on the whole, it is a kind of golden mean beauty. Even the cursive script, which is supposed to be vigorous and powerful in our impression, has become gentle and sincere in Wang Xizhi's works. Yan Zhenqing's "Sacrificing a Nephew" is a heavy eulogy with solemn and emotional words. The whole volume is mainly running script, both regular script and cursive script. This kind of calligraphy works is the author's inner excitement and indignation, and every word can be seen that the author is full of blood and tears.

After careful reading of the manuscript, traces of wiping and smearing can be seen everywhere, and the color of the whole volume of ink changes from thick to light due to transition, pause and trend. The spirit of coherence reveals the creative mood of this generation of calligrapher Yan Zhenqing. The points in the manuscript can be preserved, but it will be more precious than the manuscript we saw for our nephew.
