This is not to encourage everyone to have more children, because what you lack is not a son, but Wang Xizhi. On the other hand, Wang Xianzhi should be recognized as the successor of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, and his calligraphy level is called "Two Kings" with his father, which shows that his calligraphy level is high.
In fact, among Wang Xizhi's sons, there are even more powerful calligraphy levels, which are also recorded in history. Huang said in "On the East View and Xu Lun": condense its rhyme, practice its propriety, symbolize its power, rejuvenate its appearance, and offer its source.
Ning Zhi, Cao Zhi, Hui Zhi, Huan Zhi and Xian Zhi are the five sons of Wang Xizhi, and another Wang Xuanzhi has long since passed away. Wang Suzhi's calligraphy is not worth mentioning. Let's think carefully about what Huang said.
Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is unique to Wang Ningzhi, which should be the highest evaluation of his calligraphy. Everyone who studies calligraphy knows that it is easy to learn fonts, but it is the most difficult to learn the charm of calligraphy. The real thing is easy to learn, but the imaginary thing is difficult to learn. "Rhyme" belongs to imagination.
There are many people studying Wang Xizhi's calligraphy now. There is a boy of 1 1 years old in Wang Xizhi's Preface to Lanting, but he can do it vividly. There's still a long way to go. It can be seen that the charm of calligraphy is the hardest to learn and master.
Some people say that "giving" is a higher evaluation? Actually, it is not. Learning from Wang Xizhi all day can also be called the "source", just who the font comes from. Not as high as Wang Ningzhi's evaluation of "winning its rhyme". It can be seen that Wang Ningzhi, one of the seven sons of Wang Xizhi, has a higher level of calligraphy than Wang Xianzhi.
But genius is flawed. Wang Ningzhi is so superstitious that he thinks everything can be solved by asking God, which is very pedantic. In those days, Wang Ningzhi guarded Huiji as a general and was surrounded by the enemy.
Wang Ningzhi's people advised him to reinforce the wall to resist, but Wang Ningzhi didn't listen, saying that he had asked the Jade Emperor to send heavenly soldiers to save him and give up the resistance. As a result, it is conceivable that Wang Ningzhi, together with all the generals, was killed, and a generation of calligraphy wizards declined.
