When it comes to China's calligraphy, many calligraphy lovers will be fascinated by it. In our life, we can also see those calligraphy lovers who are obsessed with practicing calligraphy. Seeing that China's calligraphy culture has been passed down, I feel very gratified as a calligraphy lover. When it comes to ancient calligraphers, everyone will think of Wang Xizhi, a calligrapher in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Wang Xizhi's Preface to the Lanting Pavilion was especially loved by Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong. The Preface to the Lanting Pavilion was also called "the best running script in the world", and Wang Xizhi was even honored as a "book saint".
But when it comes to the famous calligraphers in ancient China, there are many, and their calligraphy is also very popular today. In the eyes of today's calligraphy lovers, the most popular word is not Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, but Song Huizong's "thin gold style", and Song Huizong's "thin gold style" is very popular both in the Song Dynasty at that time and in today's life. Even today, many calligraphers have given such an evaluation: it is hard for us netizens to accept such an evaluation.
It is understandable that netizens have such an understanding, because Wang Xizhi's reputation has been great since ancient times, especially the title of "Book Sage", which makes us feel that Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is unparalleled, and Song Huizong is an incompetent emperor. Can calligraphy be compared with Wang Xizhi's? So let's see whose handwriting is better.
First, let's look at Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. The calligrapher's handwriting is very beautiful, which is in line with the traditional beauty of China's traditional calligraphy. We can see from Wang Xizhi's masterpiece Preface to the Lanting Pavilion that Wang Xizhi's calligraphy skills are very profound, his running script is very smooth, his font is calm, his pen and ink are very soft, and the distance between words and meanings is also very well grasped. This kind of calligraphy is worth writing by calligraphers.
Let's enjoy Song Huizong's Thin Golden Body again. When we see this and Chinese characters, do we feel very individual? Completely different from traditional calligraphy, our traditional calligraphy pays attention to the beauty of hidden front, with rounded strokes, while Song Huizong's "thin gold body" has long and thin strokes and outstanding brushwork. It is precisely because of this bold innovation that calligraphy experts greatly appreciate it, because only by continuous innovation can our calligraphy in China progress. Therefore, calligraphy experts think that Song Huizong's "thin gold body" is better.
As a calligraphy lover, who do you like better after reading the calligraphy of Wang Xizhi and Song Huizong? If you have any different feelings, you can leave a message in our comment area. I am waiting for your news in the comments section!
