Wang Xizhi's best calligraphy in his life is Preface to Lanting Collection.
After the poem was written, everyone collected the poems and synthesized a preface to Lanting Collection, which was publicly recommended by Wang Xizhi. At this time, Wang Xizhi was drunk. He took advantage of the wine, picked up a moustache pen and waved it on the cocoon paper. This preface is the preface to the Lanting Collection, which became famous throughout the ages. This post is a draft with 28 lines and 324 words. Described the scene of the collection of literati at that time. Because the author was in high spirits and was very proud of his writing. It is said that I couldn't write anymore. Among them, there are more than twenty "zhi" characters, which are written in different ways. Mi Fei in Song Dynasty called it "the best running script in the world". According to legend, Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, collected the Preface to Lanting before his death and was buried in Zhaoling after his death. What's left is just a copy of others. What people see today is a Preface to Lanting. Wang Xizhi's calligraphy works are very rich. Besides Preface to Lanting Collection, there are other famous calligraphy works, such as Guan Nu Tie, Seventeen Tie, Two Xie Tie, Orange Tie, menstruation Tie, Quick Snow Clear Tie, Le Yi Lun and Huang Ting Jing. The main characteristics of his calligraphy are peaceful and natural, the brushwork is euphemistic and subtle, graceful and restrained, and later generations commented that "if you float in the clouds, you may be surprised by moss." Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is beautiful.
Wang Xizhi was a famous calligrapher in Jin Dynasty in China. His calligraphy is popular all over the world and is respected as a "calligrapher" by later generations. He is famous not only for his innovative calligraphy, but also for his lifelong devotion to China's calligraphy and his epoch-making achievements.
Wang Xizhi was born in the Eastern Jin Dynasty in 303 AD and began to learn calligraphy at the age of seven. His first teacher was his uncle and famous female calligrapher Mrs. Wei Shuofu.
Wang Xizhi first learned to block letters, which means writing with regular strokes.
When he was old, he began to create his own style. His handwriting was unique and original. His running script is lively, which fully shows his feelings. His most famous calligraphy work is Preface to Lanting. This work was completed in 353 AD. At that time, Wang Xizhi invited 4 1 relatives and friends (including contemporary calligraphers and poets) to hold a picnic in Lanting in the countryside. They lined up on both sides of the stream, put feathers (a kind of portable wine glasses) on the water and went down the river, and each person took turns drinking and writing poems. Anyone who can't write poetry will be fined. Twenty-six people wrote poems that day and wrote 35 poems. Everyone also drank a lot of wine.
With a little drunk, Wang Xizhi improvised a preface for these poems and wrote the preface to Lanting. It is said that he rewrote it nearly a hundred times in a few days, but it is not as good as his improvisation that day.
Preface to Lanting is considered as the greatest work in China's calligraphy history, and its original work was later taken away by Emperor Taizong. He liked this work very much, so he ordered the best calligraphers in the imperial court to copy a lot, which were originally left as his funerary objects.
Although the original Preface to Lanting was lost in 650 AD, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy had a great influence on China's calligraphy. Emperor Taizong's preference for Preface to Lanting prompted more calligraphers to learn and copy Wang Xizhi's fonts.
Wang Xizhi and his son studied calligraphy tirelessly all their lives. Their concentration and perseverance, as well as their achievements in calligraphy, have always been admired and admired by the world. Whenever people mention their names, they will think of their patience and hard work.
A good calligrapher can not only express his thoughts through calligraphy, but also the words he writes must be full of life, vitality and perfect form. Calligraphy is an art, which requires a clear mind and a comprehensive grasp of the brush to write well. It takes years of careful tempering to succeed.
When he was a child, Wang Xizhi had a strong interest in calligraphy. When he practices calligraphy, he often forgets to eat and sleep. It is said that once, he was fascinated by calligraphy and even used the bread in his hand as a brush to write with ink! He often washes his brush in a small pond outside the house, and the water in the pond turns black.
Wang Xianzhi, the son of Wang Xizhi (his seventh son), also practices calligraphy very diligently. At the age of twelve, he showed his mother a word rewritten by his father. His mother is also good at calligraphy. She recognized the painting written by her husband at a glance.
