Preliminary analysis of Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Preface" (13-2): The writing method of three points of water in "Lanting Preface"

There are four words in Wang Xizhi's "Orchid Pavilion Preface": Clear currents are turbulent, each word contains three points of water, and each three points of water is different.

1. These four three-point water have three common points:

1. The upper end is lower than the right part, while the lower end and the right part are basically on a horizontal line.

2. Consists of two parts. The first point is the first part, and the second and third points are connected to form a whole, which is the second part. The first part and the second part of the three-point water in "Qingji Turbulence" are disconnected, while the first part and the second part of the word "流" are connected by a hairspring.

3. Except for the word "Qing", the three points of water in the other three characters are tilted to the right.

2. Differences:

1. Three dots of Qing characters: the first dot should be drawn to the right, then to the lower right, and then back. Start from the middle of the point to the lower left, bring out the pulling thread, and connect the second part. The second and third dots are connected to form the shape of a vertical hook. The vertical position is slightly tilted to the left, leaving space for the third horizontal extension of the character "青" on the right to the left. The hook is relatively long, its vertical height is lower than the second part, and the pointed tail reaches the third horizontal lower side of the word "青".

2. Three points of water in the word "Liu": the first point is written with a slight pause of the pen, and then the pen is drawn back slightly to draw out the hairspring and connect the second part. In the second part, first lightly tap the pen to write the second point, and then move the pen to the lower left to write a vertical hook. Tilt vertically to the right. The hook is relatively long and its vertical height is slightly lower than the left part of the second part.

3. The three dots of water in the word "excited": the first dot is written by gently pen strokes to the lower right. The length is the longest of the four three dots of water, and there is no obvious connection with the second part. action. In the second part, first tap the pen lightly to write a short horizontal line parallel to the first point, and then write a vertical hook downwards. This vertical line is slightly tilted to the right, and its inclination is slightly smaller than the three points of water in the character "liu". The hook is smaller than other hooks with three characters and three points of water.

4. The three-point water in the word "turbulent": The first point is unique among the four three-point water, just like the Arabic numeral "7" and the beak of a bird. This point is connected to the second part below. The second part is a vertical curved hook. The second point is not obvious and tilts vertically to the right. The length of the hook is the longest in the middle of the three points of the four characters.
