Wang Xizhi's Preface to Lanting is written with lines. Running script is a general term, which is divided into running script and running script. It is developed and originated on the basis of regular script, a font between regular script and cursive script, in order to make up for the shortcomings of slow writing speed and illegible cursive script.
brief introduction
Preface to Lanting is a running script, but from its beautiful running script font, we can feel the completeness of the opening method in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the opening strength is implied in the beautiful running script. The regular script in the Southern Dynasties was very developed, but judging from the biography of Wang Xizhi, its outstanding achievement was obviously cursive.
Compared with the Han, Wei and Western Jin Dynasties, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy style is characterized by exquisite brushwork and changeable structure. In the past, all his calligraphy styles followed the path of Gu Zhuo, such as Pingfu Post, but Wang Xizhi was able to lead his calligraphy skills from being purely unnatural to paying more attention to aesthetic feeling, reaching a delicate state, which was "charming" compared with Gu Zhuo.
