Throughout the ages, those calligraphy lovers have left many anecdotes, only to learn calligraphy for later generations, to add a little encouragement and confidence to their own practice, and to add a little fun to the boring calligraphy practice.
The Distress of Preface to Lanting
As we all know, Preface to Lanting is written by Wang Xizhi, a "book sage", and it is the best running script in the world, and it is also the object copied by calligraphy lovers. He couldn't put it down and tried his best to get the original, including Li Shimin and Emperor Taizong. In order to get the original Preface to Lanting, he put it on the emperor's bookshelf.
Li Shimin liked copying Wang Xizhi's Preface to the Lanting Pavilion very much, and he never forgot its original work. The original cannot be found. Ministers want to share their worries for the emperor, but they don't know where to start.
I know that the preface to the collection of Lanting is in Wang Xizhi, a disciple of the seven monks Sun Zhiyong. So Li Shimin begged as an emperor, but they were all rejected, saying that there was no original. Whether it's bullying or beheading, eloquent monks don't count. I have no choice but to find another way.
Xiao Yi came up with a clever plan, and Li Shimin told him to be quick. Xiao Yi came to the temple gate of monk Cai Bian early in the morning. As usual, monk Cai Bian opened the door of the temple and wanted to practice martial arts in the back hill. But as soon as his left foot stepped out, monk Cai Bian got a fright, and a drunk appeared at the door. In this way, this Xiao Yi worshipped him as a teacher. From then on, they ate and slept together, and they felt that they had known each other for a long time.
They often learn calligraphy. One night, the scholar suddenly opened his carry-on bag, took out a shaft of things and unfolded it on the table. Cai Bian got up and took a look. It turned out to be several works by Wang Xizhi, but I heard the scholar say, "Although Master and I have never met, we have become bosom friends. Since I know that Master loves authentic works, I would like to reward my bosom friend with the treasure of my life. "
Cai Bian was shocked by the scholar's words and began to blame himself: the scholar gave himself what he had hidden in his life for no reason, but refused to let himself see it. He quietly bypassed the table and smiled faintly: "It's true, but it's not the best. Donor and so on. " Cai Bian said, and jumped onto the beam, took out the Preface to the Lanting Pavilion, which had been treasured for many years, and unfolded it for the reader. When the scholar saw the real thing, he repeatedly said "good". The two men studied and studied until late at night. Cai Bian was lying in bed, and soon he snored evenly, but the scholar in the same bed couldn't sleep. He rolled out of bed, rolled the preface to Lanting Collection into his arms, gently opened the door and walked into the dissolved moonlight. I just woke up and wanted to go out to practice as usual, only to find that my confidant and the real thing were gone. After much deliberation, he let out a cry and was cheated, so he hurried down the mountain.
At this time, Xiao Yi was walking on the mountain road in a hurry. Distinguish to catch up with Xiao Yi, it is already dawn, and then Xiao Yi has set foot on Shenye Temple, thinking about taking a deep breath. Without saying a word, Cai Bian walked behind Xiao Yi in a few steps, trying not to be upset and saying, "The scholar went down the mountain in the middle of the night, and it was hard all the way!" Xiao Yi didn't panic when he saw that he was in the way. As soon as he reached out and took out the imperial edict from his pocket, he shouted, "Identify it first, then take it!" " Hearing this, he snorted on his head, thinking that the emperor really wouldn't stop. He couldn't hold it any longer, and with a "wow", he spit out one mouthful blood. A few days after returning to the temple, Cai Bian swallowed his pride and left for the west.
Li Shimin got the Preface to the Lanting Pavilion by improper means, and he really couldn't put it down. At first, after the death of Emperor Taizong, he asked that the Preface to Lanting be buried with him. The original "Preface to Lanting" disappeared from the world.
