Brief introduction of Wang Xizhi's life
Wang Xizhi was born in a noble family, and his great-grandfather Wang Lan and Wang Xiang in Twenty-four Filial Pieties were half-brothers. Wang Lan official to the doctor, Wang Xiang official to the Pacific Insurance. When Wang Xizhi 14 years old, the Wang family helped Jinshi Nandu to establish Jiankang in the Eastern Jin Dynasty * * * Now Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province * * *, both of which were famous in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Liu Yuxi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, described in Wuyi Xiang that "the old king Xie Tang flew into the homes of ordinary people".
As early as 16 years old, Wang Xizhi was honored as "son-in-law of the East Bed" by Jane. At first, he was a card shark, and later he was recommended by Yu Liang, the general of the Western Expedition, as the general of Ningyuan, and was appointed as the secretariat of Jiangzhou, the general of the right army and the minister of Huiji. Due to the contradiction with Yangzhou secretariat Wang Shu, he resigned.
From 345 to 347, when Wang Xizhi was appointed as the secretariat of Jiangzhou, he once lived in Gaopo, east of Linchuan County, and was called "New Town". Today, Wenchang School in Linchuan District of Fuzhou City has a living well and a washing Mo Chi for practicing calligraphy. Mo Chi was destroyed during the * * *. In June 2002, Fuzhou * * * introduced 5 million yuan of foreign capital to renovate and clean Mo Chi and restore its old appearance for tourists to enjoy.
Wang Xizhi loved practicing calligraphy since childhood, and was enlightened by his father Wang Kuang and his uncle Wang Xun. He was a good book at the age of seven. At the age of twelve, he stole the pen theory of the previous generation from his father's pillow. Wang Kuang's good deeds and official letters; Wang Kui is good at calligraphy and painting. Wang Sengqian once commented in "On Books": "Before crossing the river to the east and the right army, Wei Xiao was the best, painting was the teacher of Jin Mingdi, and writing was the law of the right army." Wang Xizhi was influenced by Wang's profound calligraphy since he was a child. Liu Duo, a rookie of contemporary calligraphy studying in the United States, once praised: "The only good word is Wang Xizhi." .
Brief introduction of Wang Xizhi's characters
Wang Xizhi loved calligraphy since childhood and was enlightened by his father Wang Kuang and his uncle Wang Yu. He was a good book at the age of seven. At the age of twelve, he stole the pen theory of the previous generation from his father's pillow. Wang Kuang's good deeds and official letters; Wang Yu is good at calligraphy and painting. Lun Shu once commented: "Before crossing the river to the east and the right army, I was the most important, painting was the teacher, and writing was the law of the right army." Wang Xizhi was influenced by Wang's profound calligraphy since he was a child.
Wang Xizhi studied under Mrs. Wei in his early years. Wei Shuo taught his methods brilliantly under the guidance of Zhong You. She taught Wang Xizhi the method of Zhong You, the method of learning calligraphy in Wei Dynasty, and her own calligraphy style and method. "Book Review of the Tang Dynasty" latch: "Mrs. Wei's book is like a flower arrangement, low beauty. Another example is the beauty on the stage, the fairy shadow, the red lotus reflecting the water, and the blue marsh floating. " Modern Shen said: "Mrs. Wei, the scholar of Xi, is naturally influenced by it." She followed the clock method and learned charm, which was also formed by it. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the trace of Zhuan Xu beginning of spring is different from that of Mrs. Wei, so she is dissatisfied with the teacher's biography. This is the same as what later generations learned from the post. Once they see the tablet, they want to change their research. This is ... You can appreciate the charming customs of the west, which are inexhaustible and deeply rooted. " * * * "On the Calligraphy of the Two Kings" * * Wang Xizhi is good at training many teachers. When he broke away from Mrs. Wei's calligraphy, he was already at a new historical level. He once described this historical turning point as follows: "It would be great to learn from Mrs. Wei Shaofu; He also crossed the river to visit the famous mountains in the north and read books such as Lisi and Cao. And make a promise, see Zhong You, book; See Cai Yong's Three-body Book of The Book of Songs; At the meeting place with my brother, I saw Zhang Chang's Hua Yue Monument. It took me several years to learn Mrs. Wei's book. I changed my major and still study in the historic sites. "From this activity, we can see Wang Xizhi's experience and intention of constantly expanding his horizons, studying extensively and exploring the source of enlightenment.
Wang Xizhi's contemporary calligraphers and Xi are both famous, but Wang Xizhi's modesty can't keep up with them. Legend has it that Yu Liang once asked Wang Xizhi for a book, and Wang Xizhi replied: "* * * is in the wings of * * *, why bother!" When Yu Yi was in Jingzhou, he saw people scrambling to learn Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, but he didn't agree. He once said: "children are cheap chickens, love wild owls, and they all learn from the king. I have to pay them back." But later, when Yu Yi saw Wang Xizhi's answer to Yu Liang's Cao Zhang, he was convinced and wrote a passage to Wang Xizhi: "I once had ten Cao Zhang by Boying. When I crossed the river, I lost my way and often lamented that the wonderful trace would never be lost." Suddenly I saw the first step to reply to my brother's letter, and I was radiant and returned to my previous views. "The change of Yu Yi's attitude is a reflection of Wang Shu's constant climbing from one level to a higher level. Wang Xizhi can extricate himself from vulgarity and constantly surpass others and himself; His creation and development are accompanied by the development of his own life and the completion and realization of his value ideal. For example, Tao Hongjing said, "Shao Yi was never called before Xing Wu. All good deeds are for those who have been in Huiji and Yonghe for ten years. " * * * * "On Books" * * Yu He also said: "The book of Xi is full of wonders and is extremely precious. In its last few years, it was the ultimate. "* * * petition form * * *
Wang Xizhi is ambitious and creative. He learns from Zhong You, so he can change. Zhong Shu is still turning over, and the real book is also divided. The pen is still expanding, and there is a tendency for birds to soar, which is called "Zhong Jia Falcon coda". Wang Xizhi likes to chase with his hands, but it is easy to turn into a song and subtract momentum. The so-called right army "straight down a couch." He imitated Zhang Zhi consciously. In the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Huaiguan once pointed out this point in the "Introduction": "It is a shame to compromise with the rough analysis of the bow grass; The gain and loss of The Servant of Zhong Jun, though using Ceng Hua, is quaint. When it comes to the nature of research, you know everything. Wang Xizhi's analysis and harmony of Zhang Zhi's cursive script, and Zhong You's official script's gain and loss and use can all be studied by two calligraphy masters. Shen Yue said, "Wang Xizhi didn't dish mud at the feet of his predecessors, nor did he paint gourds. I want to use my heart and hands to let the ancients serve me, so that I won't get stuck in the past and look back at the present. In his life, he skillfully used various brushstrokes of Qin and Han seal scripts from the Expo, and all of them merged into a real cursive script, thus forming the best posture of his time, bringing forth the new and opening up a new world for future generations. This is the reason why Wang Xizhi is highly regarded as "combining various laws and preparing one family".
Wang Xizhi not only has a free and easy appearance, but also has a rich inner world. "People look at Wang Youjun, floating like clouds and agile as dragons". Metaphysics prevailed in Jin Dynasty, advocating philosophy of Laozi and Zhuangzi. Therefore, his thinking about life, society and nature was naturally influenced by it. At the beginning of Jin Shinan's crossing, when he saw the beautiful scenery of Huiji, he had the ambition to die. After resigning and retiring, the mountains * * * went up, and the mountains and rivers set each other off, naturally feeling overwhelmed. He went boating in the sea, collected distant medicinal stones, cleaned up the dust in his heart, accepted the beauty of all things in nature and discovered the mystery of the universe, which proved to the art of calligraphy, just as the broken book said, "How can you reach the peak if you are ever-changing?"
Wang Xizhi's poem Lanting wrote: "Look up at the blue sky and overlook the waterfront. A far-sighted view of the world is well-founded and self-evident. It's great to make chemicals. Everything is different. Although the crowd is uneven, it is not new to me. " Zong Baihua, a contemporary aesthete, commented that it truly represents the world view inspired by the pure heart and deep feelings of Jin people. "Although the voices are uneven, I am nothing better than new". In particular, it can be written that Jin people understand the world with a fresh, lively and free heart, so that everything they contact reveals new souls and new lives. Therefore, it is not a mechanical and stale principle, but a profound principle contained in the lively and splashing vitality of the universe. Wang Xizhi has another poem: "It's none of my business to fight for the first place, but forget to ask for it quietly." Zong Baihua believes that "still photos" are the starting point of all artistic and aesthetic life. Jin people's literature and art are permeated with this fresh and lively "quiet and forget to seek" and "what suits me is nothing more than new" * * * On the beauty of Jin people. Through the above analysis, we can appreciate and understand Wang Xizhi's calligraphy spirit.
"Shu Duan" says: "The right army digs Tianjin skillfully, so it can increase and damage the ancient law, cut it into the present, advance and retreat, talk eloquently, push the party to the right, move moderately, be brave and unique." Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is a treasure left to people, but unfortunately, after natural and man-made disasters, no original works have been preserved so far. Moreover, Xi had forgeries and calligraphers before his death, so it is more difficult to distinguish the authenticity of his books. Even so, we can still get a glimpse from the rubbings.
Compared with the real books in Tang Dynasty, Wang Xizhi's real books show two different characteristics of the times. In the Song Dynasty, Jiang Kui knew best. In the sequel. The True Book, he said: "When writing in the Tang Dynasty, people should behave themselves, without the spirit of restoring ancient ways in Wei and Jin Dynasties. There is no bell for the magic of ancient and modern true books, followed by Wang Yi. Today, the books in both schools are chic, so why not? " It is from Wang Xizhi's regular script that we feel the unique charm of Wei and Jin Dynasties. No matter the structure of strokes or words, they are all natural, as if beating a free heart, which is of course very different from the hearts and hands of the Tang people affected by the utilitarian habits of the imperial examination.
Wang Xizhi's calligraphy attainments
Wang Xizhi loved calligraphy since childhood and was enlightened by his father Wang Kuang and his uncle Wang Biao. He was a good book at the age of seven. At the age of twelve, he stole the pen theory of the previous generation from his father's pillow. Wang Kuang's good deeds and official letters; Wang Kui is good at calligraphy and painting. Wang Sengqian once commented in "On Books": "Before crossing the river to the east and the right army, Wei Xiao was the best, painting was the teacher, and literature was the law of the right army." Wang Xizhi was influenced by Wang's profound calligraphy since he was a child. Liu Duo, a rookie of contemporary calligraphy studying in the United States, once praised: "The only good word is Wang Xizhi." .
Wang Xizhi studied under Mrs. Wei in his early years. Wei Shuo, who studied under Zhong You, inherited his method brilliantly. She taught Wang Xizhi the method of Zhong You, the method of learning calligraphy in Wei Dynasty, and her own calligraphy style and method. The Book Review of the Tang Dynasty said: "Mrs. Wei's books are like flower arrangements, which are low in beauty. Another example is the beauty on the stage, the fairy shadow, the red lotus reflecting the water, and the blue marsh floating. " Modern Shen said: "Mrs. Wei, a scholar of Xi, is naturally influenced by it." She follows the clock method and learns from it. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the trace of Zhuan Xu beginning of spring is different from that of Mrs. Wei, so she is dissatisfied with the teacher's biography. This is related to the study of the post by future generations. Once they saw the tablet, they became interested and wanted to change their research. This is ... You can appreciate the charming style of the west, which is inexhaustible and deeply rooted. "* * *" On the calligraphy of the two kings "* * *
Wang Xizhi is good at changing from one teacher to another. When he broke away from Mrs. Wei's calligraphy, he reached a new historical height. He once told himself this historical turning point: "it will be great to learn from Mrs. Wei's book;" And crossing the river to visit the famous mountains in the north, comparing books such as Lisi and Cao; And make a promise, see Zhong You, Liang Yu book; See Cai Yong's Three-body Book of The Book of Songs; At the meeting place with my brother, I saw Zhang Chang's Hua Yue Monument. It took me several years to learn Mrs. Wei's book. ..... I changed my teacher, and I still studied historical sites. " From this passage, we can see Wang Xizhi's experience and intention of constantly broadening his horizons, studying extensively and exploring the source of enlightenment.
Wang Xizhi is ambitious and creative. He learns from Zhong You, so he can change. Zhong Shu is still turning over, and the real book is also divided. The pen is still expanding and there is a tendency for birds to soar. The so-called bell-tailed falcon wave. Wang Xizhi likes to chase with his hands, but it is easy to turn into a song and subtract momentum. The so-called right army came down with a bang. He imitated Zhang Zhi consciously. In the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Huaigeng once pointed out this point in the "Introduction": "It is a shame to compromise on the analysis of the bow grass; Zhong Jun's servant's profit and loss, although used to increase China, is quaint and can't be grasped. When it comes to research, it will do anything. Wang Xizhi's analysis and harmony of Zhang Zhi's cursive script, and Zhong You's official script's gain and loss and use can all be studied by two calligraphy masters. Shen Yue said, "Wang Xizhi didn't dish mud at the feet of his predecessors, nor did he paint gourds. I want to use my heart and hands to let the ancients serve me, so that I won't get stuck in the past and look back at the present. ".All his life, he exhausted all the brushwork of Qin and Han seal scripts in the Expo, all of which were integrated into the real cursive script, forming the best posture of his time, bringing forth the new and opening up a new world for future generations. This is the reason why Wang Xizhi is highly regarded as "combining various laws and preparing one family".
