The original preface to Lanting Collection written on cocoon paper has been buried in Zhaoling, and the glyph of Wang Xizhi's dragon and tiger leaping still remains in the world. Yan Zhenqing Gong changed his calligraphy to bring forth the old and bring forth the new, and the font was eagle in autumn. Xu and his son's calligraphy is also extremely exquisite, but the style is vigorous and powerful. The stone carvings on Yishan show a model, and the inheritor of calligraphy for thousands of years is Lee Yang Bing. I can't hear Du Fu's comment that calligraphy pays special attention to thinness and hardness. Calligraphy, whether short or long, fat or thin, has its own posture. Yuhuan flies and swallows thin, so which one doesn't look good! Huzhou Taishou is really an ancient Boya, and he did not hesitate to spend money to buy inscriptions. There is a turtle-shaped monument in the pavilion, and the wall is inlaid with dragon carvings. During the day, the study is quiet and empty, and only the sound of a monument is heard. You give wonderful rubbings to your friends and travel around the five mountains. You praise and talk about elegance among your friends. I wrote a letter to write this poem myself, so I wrote it on a famous piece of paper with a wolf hair in my hand. Future generations look at today as today's people look back at the past, and the fleeting scenery is just a lamp in the wind. In the future, people will miss He Jian like Liu Lang in those days and regret not sitting with us at the same time to show their inner respect.

"The Doctrine of the Mean": "If you get a good deed, you will lose a punch. 」
The background of Sun Xin's old man's poem seeking Mo Miaoting was Zong Xining for five years (1072). Su Shi's friend Sun Jue built a pavilion in Wuxing House, named "Mo Miao Pavilion", to collect ancient inscriptions and ask Su Shi for poems. At that time, the poet was appointed as the judge of Hangzhou, wrote this poem and gave it to Sun Jue.
Sun Xinlao asked to appreciate Mo Miaoting's poems. This poem evaluates and praises all kinds of inscriptions of predecessors, expounds the author's own calligraphy aesthetic thought, and praises Sun Xinlao for doing a great good deed. In terms of writing methods, narrative and discussion are mainly adopted, and some metaphors are used as much as possible in narrative and discussion to turn abstract concepts into concrete images.
The first eight sentences of this poem praise the inscriptions of calligraphers such as Wang Xizhi, Yan Zhenqing, Xu and his son, Li Si and Li. According to the historical records of Xing Wu, there are dozens of historical sites in the Mo Miao Pavilion. Here are just some outstanding examples that poets prefer. In a word, Wang Xizhi's Preface to Lanting written on cocoon paper was originally buried in Zhaoling by Emperor Taizong, but his pen and ink narrative is still as vigorous as Longteng Tianjie. In a word, Yan's calligraphy is not ancient, and he dares to innovate boldly on the basis of inheriting tradition. His handwriting is as thin as an autumn eagle. "Book House Jinghua" said: "The general principles of books have changed, Europeanized into right-wing style and Wei Liu Ouyang style. As for Yan Zhenqing, they will change after they get the law. If the law enforcement remains the same, the number is the slave book. Su Shi spoke highly of Yan Shu's innovative style, not limited by ancient laws, and dared to break through the conventions of the early Tang Dynasty. Su Shi studied two kings in his early years and Yan Zhenqing in his later years. He worships Wang Xizhi and Yan Zhenqing. These two poems confirm this point again. Five or six sentences praise Xu Hao and his son, thinking that their characters are hidden in the strokes and have a strong sense of strength. Seven or eight sentences say that although the original tablet of Li Si's Yishan Monument was burned, it was still engraved by later generations, and the norms still exist; His brushwork was still broken and inherited by Li after thousands of years. Judging from the above two inscriptions, the poet obviously thinks that China's calligraphy is inherited and developed.
In the following four sentences, "Ling Du's storytelling is thin and difficult", the poet expounds his aesthetic thoughts. In Li Chao's "Eight-point Xiao Zhuan Song", Du Fu said: "Books are expensive, thin and hard, but only God can understand them." . The poet disagreed with Du Fu's view. He said: this view is unfair, and I can't judge other people's calligraphy by it. Tall, short, fat and thin have their own manners, just like plump and slim Zhao, each has its own charm, and no one can tell who is not beautiful. Here, the poet clearly advocates that the style of calligraphy art should be diversified and should not be the same.
The next eight sentences, "Xing Wu is too conservative", praised Sun Xin's efforts in building the Momiao Pavilion. The poet wrote: This Xing Wu satrap is a person who really likes Gu Mo; He bought all those broken tablets or copied them on the certificate. There is a turtle-shaped monument in the pavilion, and the handwriting on the wall is as strange as ancient legends. It's quiet in the empty den during the day, only the sound of "pedaling" when knocking on the stone tablet is heard. These magnificent ink marks spread in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and friends and relatives praised Wang Xin for doing a good deed. He wrote to me to write a poem and let me write it well. For this reason, I wrote it on paper with Xiaomi tail pen. These two examples.
The last four sentences end with a sigh. The poet quoted Wang Xizhi as saying: "Future generations look at us today just as we look at our predecessors today;" Life is a hundred years old, like a headlight, and it becomes a thing of the past in a blink of an eye. In the future, people will recall that we wrote a poem for the pavilion today, just like Jian He, the memory secretary of the Temple North Building of Liu Yuxi the year before last, and will deeply admire his calligraphy, saying that he hates not growing up in the same era, so that he can be consulted face to face. These words contain profound philosophy of life.
