Is Wang Xizhi's calligraphy taught in Wei Zifu?

Wang Xizhi studied under Mrs Wei, who was not Wei Zifu. The two are not in the same period. Mrs Wei's name is Wei Shuo, but Mrs Wei is just another name. Wei Shuo lived in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Wei Zifu, who lived in the Western Han Dynasty, was the second queen of Liu Che, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. She has been in this position for 38 years, posthumous title thinks. China is the first queen in history to have an independent posthumous title.

Wang Xizhi loved calligraphy since childhood and was enlightened by his father Wang Kuang and his uncle Wang Biao. He was a good book at the age of seven. At the age of twelve, he stole the pen theory of the previous generation from his father's pillow.

Wang Xizhi studied under Mrs. Wei in his early years. Wei Shuo, who studied under Zhong You, inherited his method brilliantly. She taught Wang Xizhi the method of Zhong You, the method of learning calligraphy in Wei Dynasty, and her own calligraphy style and method. The Book Review of the Tang Dynasty said: "Mrs. Wei's books are as beautiful as flower arranging dancers. Another example is the beauty on the stage, the fairy shadow, the red lotus reflecting the water, and the blue marsh floating. " Modern Shen said: "Mrs. Wei, the scholar of Xi, is naturally influenced by it." She follows the clock method and learns from it. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the trace of Zhuan Xu beginning of spring is different from that of Mrs. Wei, so she is dissatisfied with the teacher's biography. This is the same as the books of later generations, which all started from post-learning. Once they see the tablet, they want to change their research. "You can appreciate the charming customs of the West, which are inexhaustible and deeply rooted."

Wang Xizhi is good at changing from one teacher to another. When he broke away from Mrs. Wei's calligraphy, he reached a new historical height. He once told himself this historical turning point: "it will be great to learn from Mrs. Wei's book;" And crossing the river to visit the famous mountains in the north, comparing books such as Lisi and Cao; And make a promise, see Zhong You, Liang Yu book; See Cai Yong's Three-body Book of The Book of Songs; At the meeting place with my brother, I saw Zhang Chang's Hua Yue Monument. It took me several years to learn Mrs. Wei's book. ..... I changed my teacher, and I still studied historical sites. " From this passage, we can see Wang Xizhi's experience and intention of constantly broadening his horizons, studying extensively and exploring the source of enlightenment.

Xihe calligraphy is good at all kinds of calligraphy, such as official script, cursive script, regular script and running script. It studies the style of calligraphy, imitates the style of calligraphy by hand, learns from others' strong points, and mixes all kinds of calligraphy into one furnace. Get rid of the style of writing in Han and Wei dynasties, which has far-reaching influence. The style is peaceful and natural, the brushwork is euphemistic and subtle, and it is beautiful. The masterpiece Preface to Lanting is known as "the best running script in the world". In the history of calligraphy, he and his son Wang Xianzhi were called "two kings".

Xi Zhi's calligraphy has influenced bookstores from generation to generation. Ou Yangxun, Yu Shinan, Zhu Suiliang, Xue Qi, Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan in the Tang Dynasty, Yang Ningshi in the Five Dynasties, Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Mi Fei and Cai Xiang in the Song Dynasty, Zhao Mengfu in the Yuan Dynasty and Dong Qichang in the Ming Dynasty were all impressed by Wang Xizhi, so they enjoyed the reputation of "book saints".
