Calligraphy sadness

Preface to Lanting Collection is the representative work of calligrapher Wang Xizhi, and it is also a calligraphy work that has been handed down through the ages. It reached the peak of the historical position of ancient calligraphy in China. No work can shake the historical position of Preface to Lanting Collection, but when Wang Xizhi wrote Preface to Lanting Collection, it was a mixture of sadness and joy. He is happy that his friends are drinking and having fun between mountains and rivers, feeling every beautiful nature and enjoying every beautiful life. Sadly, time flies, happy time is always short, and he also feels the smallness of human beings and his own smallness in nature.

In time and space, human beings are just a drop in the ocean and a grain of dust. They felt the right of existence endowed by nature, and he also felt the awe of nature. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there were many calligraphers. Wang Xizhi was able to become the leader of that era, which also proved that his calligraphy was indeed the best in ancient and modern times. In addition, he has an important identity. He is a descendant of Wang Langya in Wei and Jin Dynasties and has a deep social background. He made many famous scholars, and his social status laid the foundation for his fame.

When Wang Xizhi wrote Preface to Lanting Collection, many friends accompanied him to drink in the mountains. He felt the charm of nature. At that moment, he had an epiphany about the truth of life, and he felt that the universe was changing infinitely. He rejoiced at the epiphany at this moment. The truth of life he pursued all his life is in his own hands at this moment, reaching a realm that ordinary people can't reach. From this calligraphy, he can also feel Wang Xizhi's mood at that time.

Then in the long history, Wang Xizhi also felt his own smallness. No matter how great the achievement is, it can't resist the passage of time. Sooner or later, he will be buried in the loess, and his merits and demerits can only be judged by future generations. At this moment, he felt the greatness of nature and the vastness of heaven and earth.
