No one can shake Wang Xizhi's position in the history of calligraphy. How was the Preface to Lanting Collection lost?

Wang Xizhi, a book saint! His calligraphy is unique. Only the world imitates him, and no one imitates others. Preface to Lanting Collection beats all calligraphers and is known as "the number of rows in the world"!

Preface to Lanting Collection has a historical origin. According to records, the ninth year of Yonghe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty was the third day of the third lunar month. Forty people, including Sun Chuo, Xie An and Wang Xizhi, built a pavilion in Lanting, Shaoxing. I don't know the meaning of this repair! However, it is a custom to play by the water on the third day of March to eliminate disease and bad luck. These forty people kept drinking and reciting poems, and as a result, their poems became deeds. As soon as Wang Xizhi was happy, he began to preface this collection of poems and turned it into the famous Preface to Lanting! And not only recorded the poems of these people, but also recorded the scene at that time. Wang Xizhi wrote the word "Zhi" in more than twenty ways.

Like Cui, this masterpiece of calligraphy has become a crossword puzzle, and its whereabouts are unknown. But the most popular saying, Preface to the Lanting Pavilion, was taken to the grave by Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong. It turns out that Li Shimin likes Wang Xizhi's Mo Bao very much. He has collected many famous people, but he has no real Lanting preface. Later, I heard that Wang Xizhi treasured his Preface to the Lanting Pavilion and passed it on to Zhiyong as a family heirloom. This Zhiyong is a monk and a famous calligrapher. After his death, he passed it on to his disciple, the eloquent monk. Li Shimin asked many times, but eloquence said he didn't know and refused. Li Shimin must outsmart him and make Xiao Yi close to eloquence. Xiao Yi specially showed him Wang Xizhi's original work. After reading it eloquently, he said that the original work was true, but it was not Wang Xizhi's best Mo Bao.

Then he showed Xiao Yi the Preface to the Lanting Pavilion, and Xiao Yi gave Li Shimin's letter to the eloquent monk, only then did the monk know that he had been cheated. At this point, the preface to Lanting fell into the hands of Li Shimin! But there is also a saying that after Li Shimin's death. Li Zhi's Preface to Lanting was finally buried in Ganling. This is the preface to the previous life, Lanting Collection.
