Wang Xizhi likes an animal very much, so we can understand calligraphy from its posture. What kind of animal is this?

Wang Xizhi (32 1-379, or 303-36 1), a calligrapher in Jin Dynasty, was honored as a "book saint" by later generations. He believes that raising ducks can not only cultivate sentiment, but also realize the great truth of calligraphy from some postures of geese. Therefore, his love for geese is infatuated. Wang Xizhi, a book sage, likes geese very much. He thinks that raising ducks can not only cultivate sentiment, but also realize some basic calligraphy theory from observing the posture and shape of geese. Once Wang Xizhi went out to play and saw a group of beautiful white geese, so he wanted to buy them.

Only after asking did I know that this kind of goose was raised by a Taoist nearby, so I found the Taoist who wanted to negotiate with him to buy the geese. When the Taoist heard that the famous Wang Xizhi wanted to buy it, he said: As long as Wang Youjun can help me copy the Tao Te Ching, I will give him some geese. Wang Xizhi generously agreed, which produced a beautiful talk about changing books into white geese.

Extended material: Wang Xizhi's handwriting is ahead of the world, and the fine copy of the Tang Dynasty has been regarded as handwriting for many years. Because of its long history and long-standing reputation, Rainbow's other travel notes will have different inferences about its engraving time. Among them, some are called Song imitations, others are suspected to be copied by Mi Fei, and a large number of them are included in Tang imitations. It has been catalogued a lot and carved into various essays again and again. After the Yuan Dynasty, the public and private seals were widely circulated, vivid and reliable, and their preciousness was obvious.

Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is harmful to future generations. From his son, he is good at cursive writing; Coagulation, as a grass official; Emblem, good cursive script; Fuck it, good at official script; Huanzhi, a good cursive script; Sacrifice is called "little sage". Later generations continued, and Cheng's calligraphy continued to pass on. Wu Biantian asked for Wang Xizhi's book, and Wang Fangqing, Wang Xizhi's ninth great-grandson, presented ten volumes of books of twenty-eight people in the eleventh generation to his great-grandfather and compiled Long Live the Tian Tong Post.

In the Southern Dynasties, Wang Sengqian, Wang Ci and Zhiwang were all queens, which were recorded in the dharma book. Shi Zhiyong, the seventh generation Sun of Xihe, was a famous calligrapher in Sui and Tang Dynasties. After the war, descendants went astray and lost their genealogy, and their descendants were all over Shenyang and Helen. Now known successors are Wang Qingkai and Wang Xiaodan.
