Learn from my uncle less, and then from Mrs. Wei. You can learn from the famous calligraphers since the Han and Wei Dynasties, learn from Zhang Zhi in cursive writing, and learn from Zhong You in formal writing. You can learn from others, learn from others' strengths, and prepare for others. You can get rid of the style of writing in the Han and Wei Dynasties and become a family of your own. The brushwork is open and bright, and the structure is rigorous. Huang Tingjing and Le Yi Lun are the most important regular scripts. The preface to Lanting is the most important running script; The cursive scripts are "Sticking to Sunny Snow" and "Sticking to the First Eye". As a national treasure, Emperor Taizong called on the world to copy his handwriting, and his calligraphy became authentic instead of Han and Wei brushwork. His words are known as "floating like a cloud, deft as a dragon" and "iron book and silver hook, the highest in ancient and modern times", and the later Buddha is called "book saint" According to legend, his running script "Preface to Lanting" was buried with Li Shimin. Now handed down from generation to generation are copies.
He thinks that raising geese can not only cultivate sentiment, but also understand the truth of calligraphy from some posture of geese. One day early in the morning, Wang Xizhi and his son, Wang Xianzhi, took a boat to travel around Shaoxing's landscape. When they arrived near Xianshui Village, they saw a group of white geese on the shore, swaying and dawdling. Wang Xizhi was fascinated by this group of white geese, so he wanted to buy them home. Wang Xizhi asked the Taoist nearby, hoping that the Taoist could sell him the geese. The Taoist priest said, "If the adults in the right army want it, please write a Taoist health-preserving book" Huang Ting Jing "for me! Wang Xizhi was eager for the goose and readily agreed to the conditions put forward by the Taoist priest. This is the story of "Wang Xizhi's Book for White Goose".
At the age of twenty, a captain Chi Jian sent someone to Wang Dao's house to choose a son-in-law. At that time, people paid attention to family rank, and the door was right. Wang Dao's son and nephew heard that Qiu's family was coming to propose marriage, and they all dressed up in disguise, hoping to be selected. Only Wang Xizhi, as if he didn't hear anything, was lying on the bamboo couch in the east, eating sesame cakes with one hand and painting clothes with the other. When people come back, they report what they have seen to Xi Taiwei. When he knew that there was still a quiet Wang Xizhi leaning on the east couch, he couldn't help clapping his hands and exclaiming, This is the son-in-law I want! So Chi Jian married his daughter Xi Jun to Wang Xizhi. This story has become two allusions of "East Bed" and "Lingtan".
There are more idioms that appear on him. It is said that once, he wrote his words on a board and gave them to the engraver for carving. The man cut the board with a knife, only to find that his handwriting was printed three-thirds deep into the board. This is the origin of the idiom "get to the point".
Wang Xizhi's best calligraphy in his life is the preface to the Lanting Collection. That was his work in middle age.
There is a custom in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. On the 3rd of March in the lunar calendar every year, people must go to the river to play, so as to eliminate the ominous. This is called [repairing]. On March 3rd, the 9th year of Yonghe, Wang Xizhi and some scholars, 41 * * *, went to the riverside of Lanting to repair the temple. Everyone is writing poems while drinking.
After the poem is finished, everyone collects the poems, synthesizes a preface to the Lanting Collection, and recommends Wang Xizhi as a preface. At this time, Wang Xizhi was drunk. He took advantage of the wine, picked up a moustache pen, and waved a pen on cocoon paper. This preface is the preface of Lanting Collection, which was later famous throughout the ages. This post is a draft, with 28 lines and 324 words. Described the scene of literati's elegant collection at that time. Because the author was in high spirits at that time, he wrote very proudly. It is said that it is impossible to write later. Among them, there are more than twenty "zhi" characters, which are written in different ways. In Song Dynasty, Mi Fei called it "the best running script in the world". Legend has it that Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, cherished the Preface to Lanting and buried it in Zhaoling when he died. What remains is only a copy of others. What people see today is a copy of Preface to Lanting. Wang Xizhi's calligraphy works are very rich. In addition to Preface to Lanting, there are other famous calligraphy works, such as Official Slave's Post, Seventeen Post, Two Thank-you Post, Orange Post, Aunt's Post, Sunny Post in Fast Snow, Le Yi Lun and Huang Ting Jing. The main features of his calligraphy are peace and naturalness, tactful and subtle brushwork, graceful and graceful, and later generations commented, "If you are floating in the clouds, you will be frightened by the moss." Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is extremely beautiful.
after the Han dynasty, after more than 6 years of tripartite confrontation, it entered the Jin dynasty. Calligraphy has reached another peak. The cursive writing of official script is called official script, which decomposes the basic structure of official script and only keeps the wave, which is mainly used to write the memorial, so it is also called chapter script. The representative calligraphers who wrote Zhangcao are Shi You, Huang Xiang and Suo Jing. On the basis of Zhangcao, this grass appeared again. At the same time, regular script and running script appeared. It can be said that in the Jin Dynasty, seal script, official script, grass script, line script and model script were all ready.
in Jin dynasty, regular script and running script made the greatest achievements and had the greatest influence on later generations. The representative calligraphers were Zhong You and Wang Xizhi. Zhong You (151—23) was born in Yingchuan Changshe (now the east of Changge County, Henan Province). During the Cao Wei period, he was a teacher. He is good at official script, regular script and various lines, especially regular script. In the Song Dynasty's "Xuanhe Shupu", it was evaluated that his calligraphy was "the ancestor of regular calligraphy". His regular script inherited the legacy of the official script of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was divided into eight parts, and the left and right waves were picked, which was ingenious and dense, natural and quaint. He wrote "He Jie Biao", which is quite a swan flying, and was rated as "playing in the sea and dancing cranes in the sky" by Xiao Yan of Liang Wudi. In his regular script, there is also the brushwork of official script. His works also include Manifestation Table, Force Life Table, and Return of Posts.
Wang Xizhi (33-361, 321-379) was born in Linyi, Langya (now Linyi, Shandong), and later lived in Shanyin (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang). Officials to the right army generals, civil history, so the world called Wang Youjun, Wang Huiji. Wang Xizhi learned from Zhong You in regular script, Zhang Zhi in cursive script, Li Si and Cai Yong, and learned from others. His calligraphy is known as "the dragon jumps into heaven, the tiger lies in phoenix", which gives people a sense of quiet beauty, just in contrast with Zhong You's book. His calligraphy is dignified, easy to turn into music, and annoying with his pen, which completely breaks through the brushwork of official script and creates a beautiful and convenient style of modern calligraphy, and is respected as a "book saint" by future generations. The original works of Wang Xizhi are rare, and all we see are copies. Wang Xizhi is good at writing, walking, cursive and flying white, such as Yue Yi Lun, Huang Tingjing in regular script, Seventeen posts in cursive script, Aunt Post in running script, Sunny Post in Fast Snow, Mourning Post and so on. The preface to Lanting, a running script of his book, is the most representative.
In the 9th year of Yonghe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (353), on the 3rd day of the third lunar month, when Wang Xizhi, Xie An, Sun Chuo and other 41 people were repairing a contract in Lanting, Shaoxing (a kind of activity to get rid of diseases and ominous), everyone drank and composed poems, and the poems were collected into a collection, and the preface to the Lanting was improvised. This is the famous Preface to Lanting. This post is a draft, with 28 lines and 324 words. Described the scene of literati's elegant collection at that time. Because the author was in high spirits at that time, he wrote very proudly. It is said that it is impossible to write later. Among them, there are more than twenty "zhi" characters, which are written in different ways. In Song Dynasty, Mi Fei called it "the best running script in the world". Legend has it that Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, cherished the Preface to Lanting and buried it in Zhaoling when he died. What remains is only a copy of others.
Wang Xizhi (33-361), whose name is Yi Shao, was named Lian Zhai. His ancestral home was Langxie Jianyi (now Linyi, Shandong), and later he moved to Huiji. In his later years, he lived in seclusion in Jinting County. Good at calligraphy, known as the "book saint."
Wang has served as secretary, general Ningyuan and Jiangzhou secretariat. Later, it was the civil history of Huiji, and the right general was called "Wang Youjun". In March of the 11th year of Yonghe (355), he called himself ill and abandoned his official, and moved to Jinting with his son Cao. Build a library, plant mulberry fruits, teach children, write poems and make paintings and calligraphy for entertainment. And with Xu Xun, Zhi Dun, all the celebrities, all over the landscape.
since Wang settled in Jinting, calligraphy has risen. His descendants are good at calligraphy and painting, and their works are hung all over the hall and study, so they are called "Hua Yuan Painting Hall". Later generations named the village "Huatang", which has been called since then. Wang Xizhi's remains spread all over the county. Duxiu Mountain in the west of Shengxi is Wang Xizhi's reading place, and the plaque of "Old Tour Place of Right Army" is hung in Guanyin Hall on the mountain. The main temple of Taoyuan Township was built in the foothills, with Wang Youjun as the township owner. Xizhiping in the Lushan Mountain in the north of Shengsheng, Qingyin Temple in the east of Shengsheng, and Wanghanling at the junction of Shengxin, etc., are all places for Wang's recreation, and there are still traces to be found.
In the fifth year of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (361), Wang Zu was buried in Jinting Waterfall Mountain (also known as Ziteng Mountain), and his fifth Sun Heng's house was Jintingguan, and the site still exists. During the reign of Liang Datong (535-546), Chien Sun Youjun Temple was built in front of the tomb, and a bookstore and Mo Chi were built next to the temple. Tang Peitong wrote "The Book of Ink Pond in Jinting Guanjin Youjun Bookstore". In the seventh year of the Great Cause of Sui Dynasty (611), the seventh monk Sun Zhiyong instructed his disciple Shang Gao (Shaomen, Yongxin Temple, Xing Wu) to go to the Jinting to offer sacrifices to sweep, and wrote "The Tomb of Waterfall Mountain Exhibition" to erect a monument in front of the tomb. During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Tuguan made a monument to the right of the tomb. In the 15th year of Hongzhi (152), the stone tablet of "Jin Wang Youjun Tomb" was rebuilt, which still exists today. In the winter of the 29th year of Daoguang reign in Qing Dynasty (1849), Sun Xiuqing, Wang's heir, built the memorial archway of "Jin Wang Youjun Tomb Road" in Jintingguan, which is still intact.
When it comes to the love for geese, Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher in the Jin Dynasty, is the most prominent one. There is a story here:
It is said that Wang Xizhi, a noble and virtuous man, had little interest in being an official, so he left the noisy and boring capital and came to the south of the Yangtze River with pleasant scenery. When he lived in Shaoxing, he often wandered in Zeguo, a water town, and observed the geese. Goose after goose, with neat and beautiful feathers and elegant posture. Some of them float, some sing and some play. ..................................................................................................................................................................................
One day, he was pleasantly surprised to find that a goose was unusual in appearance. Its feathers were as white as snow, and its crown was as red as a jewel. In particular, its singing was particularly pleasant. He liked it very much, and immediately sent someone to inquire about it nearby. If he wanted to buy this goose, he would pay twice as much. It turns out that the owner of the goose is a white-haired old woman, and there are no relatives around the old man, only this white goose is the companion. Although her family is poor, the goose can't bear to part with it. When Wang Xizhi learned about these situations, he fully understood the old man's feelings and said that he would not buy this precious goose. In order to make an observation, he decided to call at home. Besides, the old woman was very happy when she heard that the calligrapher Wang Xizhi was going to visit her home, but what should she do to entertain her guests? The old man was worried when suddenly there was a cry of "Oh-ah-"in the yard. Oh, yes, in order to entertain the guests, the old man killed his beloved white goose and cooked a delicious dish, waiting for the arrival of Wang Xizhi. In a short time, Wang Xizhi walked into this humble hut with hurried steps. When he learned that the warm and generous host brought the only beloved thing to entertain guests, his eyes were moist: he felt sorry for the death of this goose, and was even more moved by the host's kindness ... So he asked someone to find an ink pen and write on the hexagonal bamboo fan he brought with him, and handed it to the old woman, saying, "Old man, I have nothing to thank you for. Please take this fan to the market and sell it for 1 yuan. The old man refused, and Xizhi said with deep affection: This is a little token of my respect for your old man!
Wang Xizhi writes for geese
Wang Xizhi was a great calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He was born in the gentry, and with his outstanding talent, all the ministers in the imperial court recommended him to be an official. He was a secretariat and a general of the right army (people also called him Wang Youjun). Wang Xizhi loved writing since childhood. It is said that when walking at ordinary times, I also practice calligraphy with my fingers at any time. After a long time, I even cut my clothes. After studying hard and practicing hard, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy became more and more famous. People at that time regarded his handwriting as a treasure. It is said that once, Wang Xizhi went to a village. An old woman carried a basket of hexagonal bamboo fans to sell at the collection. That kind of bamboo fan is very simple, and there is no decoration, which can't attract the interest of passers-by. It seems that it can't be sold, and the old woman is very anxious. Seeing this situation, Wang Xizhi sympathized with the old woman, so he went up to her and said, "You can't sell this bamboo fan because there are no pictures or characters on it. How about I give you an inscription? " The old woman didn't know Wang Xizhi. Seeing his enthusiasm, she gave him the bamboo fan to write. Wang Xizhi took a pen and wrote five words on each fan, and returned them to the old woman. The old woman can't read, and she feels that his handwriting is sloppy and she is very unhappy. Wang Xizhi comforted her and said, "Don't worry. You told the fan buyer that it was written by Wang Youjun. "As soon as Wang Xizhi left, the old woman did as he said. People on the collection rushed to buy Wang Youjun's calligraphy when they saw it. A basket of bamboo fans will be sold out soon. Many artists have their own hobbies, some love to grow flowers and some love to keep birds. But Wang Xizhi has his special hobby. Wherever there is a good goose, he is interested in seeing it or buying it back to enjoy it. There is a Taoist priest in Shanyin. He wants Wang Xizhi to write him a volume of Tao Te Ching. But he knew that Wang Xizhi would not copy the scriptures for others easily. Later, he found out that Wang Xizhi liked white geese, so he specially raised a number of geese with good varieties. Wang Xizhi heard that there were good geese in the Taoist family, so he really went to see them. When he approached the Taoist priest's house, he saw a flock of geese floating leisurely on the water in the river, with white feathers and a high red top, which was really cute. Wang Xizhi looked at it by the river and was reluctant to leave, so he sent someone to find a Taoist priest and asked to sell him the geese. The Taoist priest said with a smile, "Since the princes love it so much, they don't need to spend any money. I'll send all these geese to you. But I have one request, that is, please write a scroll of scriptures for me. " Wang Xizhi did not hesitate to copy a scroll of scriptures for the Taoist priest, and the geese were taken back by Wang Xizhi.
Wang Xizhi teaches his son to learn calligraphy
You keqin
Wang Xianzhi, the seventh son of Wang Xizhi, was smart and studious since childhood. He specialized in cursive and official calligraphy and was good at painting. He began to learn calligraphy when he was seven or eight years old, and studied under his father. On one occasion, Wang Xizhi saw that Xian Zhi was practicing calligraphy attentively, so he quietly walked behind him and suddenly reached out to draw the brush in his hand. Xian Zhi held the pen firmly and was not drawn off. The father was very happy and praised: "This son will be famous again." Xiao Xian felt smug after listening to it. Another time, a friend of Xizhi asked Xian to write on the fan, and then he wrote with a brush. Suddenly, the pen fell on the fan, polluting the words. Xiao Xian had a brainwave and a calf came to life on the fan. In addition, people are full of praise for the calligraphy and painting offered, and the small offer has fostered pride. The parents who gave it were thoughtful when they saw this scene ... One day, Xiao Xianzhi asked his mother, Xi, "I just need to write it for another three years, right?" Mom shook her head. "Five years of head office?" Mom shook her head again. I was in a hurry and said to my mother, "How long do you think it will take?" "Remember, finish school.
