There are so many people who have studied the Preface to the Lanting Pavilion through the ages, why is there no one who writes like it?

Where is the original work of Preface to Lanting Collection? It is said that it was taken to the tomb by Wu Zetian and became a funerary object. Whether it was buried or not, there is no original now.

Then why can you still see Preface to Lanting Collection? Because before the preface to the Lanting Collection was lost, it had already been copied, and these imitations have been handed down.

In other words, what we saw in Preface to the Orchid Pavilion is as different as the original, and no one knows it. But most people still think that the version handed down now is the same as the original. Why?

Because it is not so difficult to copy words like the original. Even many famous paintings can be copied exactly the same. Although the words are also very skillful, it is not difficult to copy the image.

In order to express the style of writing, even the changes in the original work are the same.

So what the subject said is nothing like it, it is a false proposition. What's more, many of the inscriptions we see now are not carved on stone tablets by calligraphers themselves, but written on paper by calligraphers and then carved on stone tablets by masons.

What these masons have to do is to be physically and psychologically consistent, or even completely consistent. So, it doesn't seem difficult.

For calligraphy, image is not the most critical.

Maoism can become a new school of calligraphy because it has its own system and completed the system construction, thus becoming a calligrapher.

In other words, it is not good to write like a calligrapher.

Modern calligraphers have made great contributions, and you can tell at a glance that he wrote his words. Song Huizong's thin gold body is the same, sui generis, sui generis.

In addition, the handwriting of Zhao Mengfu and Mi Fei can be recognized by people with a little knowledge of calligraphy. Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan are both regular script, but they are totally different.

Calligraphy can be called calligraphy because these words can also be used as a tool of expression, which can express the personality and feelings of calligraphers.

People who write like these calligraphers abound in history, but these people only write like them, and they have not become calligraphers, and are called "calligraphers" at most.
