As the most famous calligrapher in China, Wang Xizhi's paintings and calligraphy works that remain in the world are generally about traveling around the mountains and having fun with a group of friends. It is said that there are scholars who talk and laugh, but there is no Bai Ding.
Wang Xizhi is most famous for his preface to Lanting Collection, which is called the best running script in the world. The preface to Lanting Collection is about a group of friends visiting Lanting. In September of Yongnian, when I was 18 years old, I recorded the time and place at the beginning, and then extended it in various ways to record your words and deeds, express your feelings about it, record scenic spots and record everything in the world.
Although the original preface of Lanting Collection has not been found yet, his copy still exists in the world, and we can still see it when we go to the museum. As the first running script in China, the preface to Lanting Collection is self-evident, and other running scripts are also indispensable, but the preface to Lanting Collection is indeed more important.
The second line of calligraphy in the world is a manuscript dedicated to the nephew, which also exists in the world at present, and you can usually see it when you go to the museum. Then, Wang Xizhi's other works, such as Huang Tingjing and the first moon post, are also important works in the splendid cultural history of our country for thousands of years. After all, they are all works of Wang Xizhi.
In addition to Wang Xizhi, Li Daoyuan, Mi Fei, and other famous works have also remained in the world for ordinary people and some scholars to study and appreciate. These works have remained in the world as splendid cultural works in China.
Wang Xizhi's preface to the Lanting Collection is really good. It has been collected in the palace before, and the emperor specially asked someone to copy several copies to avoid destruction. Unfortunately, the preface to the Lanting Collection was finally lost for some reasons.
