Wang Xizhi was born in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. He was good at calligraphy when he was seven years old. Legend has it that the emperor of the Jin Dynasty would go to the northern suburbs to offer sacrifices, and asked Wang Xizhi to write his congratulatory message on a wooden board, and then sent workers to carve it. The sculptor cut the board layer by layer and found that Wang Xizhi's calligraphy ink had been printed into the board. He didn't reach the bottom until he cut into a depth of three points. Woodworkers are amazed at Wang Xizhi's pen power, perfect calligraphy skills and his pen power. Main entrance: East Bed Husband
/kloc-at the age of 0/6, Wang Xizhi was chosen as the son-in-law of Dongchuang by Chi Jian. Chi Jian has a daughter who is 28 years old and has a beautiful face. She is not married. Chi Jian loves her daughter, so she wants to choose a husband for her. She has a deep friendship with Prime Minister Wang Dao and is also an official. I heard that there are many children in her family, all of whom are talented and beautiful.
One morning, I told the Prime Minister Wang my idea of choosing a spouse. Prime Minister Wang said, "Well, my family has many children, so you can choose at home. I will agree with whoever you like. "
Ask the confidant housekeeper to bring a generous gift to the Prime Minister's house. When the children in Wang Fu heard that Qiu Xi sent someone to find her husband, they all dressed up and came out to meet each other. Looking around, one person is missing. The housekeeper took the housekeeper to the study of the East Cross Court and found a young man lying on his back on the bed near the east wall, indifferent to Qiu's search for a husband. When the housekeeper of Xi's mansion returned to the mansion, she said to Taiwei Xi, "I heard that Xi's mansion is looking for a husband, and there are more than twenty younger sons in the mansion, all vying for it. There is only one son lying on the east bed, and nothing happens. " Chi Jian said, "This is the kind of person I want to choose. Go and show me. " When Chi Jian came to Wang Fu, he saw that this man was both enlightened and elegant, talented and handsome. He got a dowry on the spot and chose him as his son-in-law. This is how the phrase "son-in-law in the east bed" came from. Wang Xizhi's Preface to the Collection of Lanting is highly praised by calligraphers of all ages and is known as "the best running script in the world". Wang Jian is good at following the laws of Li, Cao, Kai and Xing, carefully studying the shape, imitating the shape with his heart, learning from others' strengths, preparing everything in one furnace, getting rid of the style of writing in Han and Wei Dynasties, and becoming a family of his own, which has far-reaching influence. His calligraphy is peaceful and natural, and his brushwork is euphemistic and subtle, graceful and graceful. The world often uses Cao Zhi's Ode to the Goddess of Luo: "If you are amazed, if you are graceful, if you are in Youlong, you will be glorious and autumn, and Hua Mao will be spring pine. It seems that if the moon is covered by light clouds, it will float like the wind flowing back to snow. " Praise the beauty of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. Legend has it that Wang Xizhi practiced calligraphy hard when he was a child. After a long time, the pool water used to clean the brush turned black. Later generations commented: "Floating like a cloud, agile like a dragon", "Yue Long goes to heaven, the tiger lies in the phoenix pavilion" and "nature is natural, and abundant gods cover all generations". There are some idioms about Wang Xizhi, such as cleverness and quick marriage. The most obvious feature of Wang Xizhi's style of writing is exquisite brushwork and changeable structure.
Wang Xizhi's calligraphy has influenced bookstores from generation to generation. Ou Yangxun, Yu Shinan, Zhu Suiliang, Xue Qi, Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan in the Tang Dynasty, Yang Ningshi in the Five Dynasties, Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Mi Fei and Cai Xiang in the Song Dynasty, Zhao Mengfu in the Yuan Dynasty and Dong Qichang in the Ming Dynasty were all impressed by Wang Xizhi, so they enjoyed the reputation of "book saints". (Atlas data) Wang Xizhi loved calligraphy since childhood and was enlightened by his father Wang Kuang and his uncle Wang Biao. He was a good book at the age of seven. At the age of twelve, he stole the pen theory of the previous generation from his father's pillow. Wang Kuang's good deeds and official letters; Wang Kui is good at calligraphy and painting. Wang Sengqian once commented in "On Books": "Before crossing the river to the east and the right army, Wei Xiao was the best, painting was the teacher, and literature was the law of the right army." Wang Xizhi was deeply influenced by the Wangs in calligraphy since he was a child. Liu Duo, a rising contemporary calligrapher studying in the United States, once praised: "The only good word is Wang Xizhi".
Wang Xizhi studied under Mrs. Wei in his early years. Wei Shuo, who studied under Zhong You, inherited his method brilliantly. She taught Wang Xizhi the method of Zhong You, the method of learning calligraphy in Wei Dynasty, and her own calligraphy style and method. The Book Review of the Tang Dynasty said: "Mrs. Wei's books are as beautiful as flower arranging dancers. Another example is the beauty on the stage, the fairy shadow, the red lotus reflecting the water, and the blue marsh floating. " Modern Shen said: "Mrs. Wei, the scholar of Xi, is naturally influenced by it." She followed the clock method and learned charm, which was also formed by it. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the traces of Zhuan Xu and beginning of spring have been exhibited, which is different from the new school of clock method passed on by Mrs. Wei, so I am dissatisfied with the teacher's biography. This is the same as the books of later generations, which all started from post-learning. Once they see the tablet, they want to change their research. This is the same. You can appreciate the charming style of the west, which is inexhaustible and deeply rooted. "(On the Calligraphy of Two Kings)"
Wang Xizhi is good at changing from one teacher to another. When he broke away from Mrs. Wei's calligraphy, he reached a new historical height. He once told himself this historical turning point: "it will be great to learn from Mrs. Wei's book;" And crossing the river to visit the famous mountains in the north, comparing books such as Lisi and Cao; And make a promise, see Zhong You, Liang Yu book; See Cai Yong's Three-body Book of The Book of Songs; At the meeting place with my brother, I saw Zhang Chang's Hua Yue Monument. It took me several years to learn Mrs. Wei's book. ..... I changed my teacher, and I still studied historical sites. " From this passage, we can see Wang Xizhi's experience and intention of constantly broadening his horizons, studying extensively and exploring the source of enlightenment. (Atlas data)
Wang Xizhi is ambitious and creative. He learns from Zhong You, so he can change. Zhong Shu is still turning over, and the real book is also divided. The pen is still expanding and there is a tendency for birds to soar. The so-called bell-tailed falcon wave. Wang Xizhi likes to chase with his hands, but it is easy to turn into a song and subtract momentum. The so-called right army came down with a bang. He imitated Zhang Zhi consciously. In the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Huaigeng once pointed out this point in the "Introduction": "It is a shame to compromise on the analysis of the bow grass; Zhong Jun's servant's profit and loss, although used to increase China, is quaint and can't be grasped. When it comes to research, it will do anything. Wang Xizhi's analysis and harmony of Zhang Zhi's cursive script, and Zhong You's official script's gain and loss and use can all be studied by two calligraphy masters. Shen said: "Wang Xizhi didn't dish mud at the feet of his predecessors, and so did painting gourds." Instead, I want to use my heart and hands to make the ancients work for me, not sticking to the past and not turning my back on the present. ".All his life, he exhausted all the brushwork of Qin and Han seal scripts in the Expo, all of which were integrated into the real cursive script, forming the best posture of his time, bringing forth the new and opening up a new world for future generations. This is the reason why Wang Xizhi is highly regarded as "combining various laws and preparing one family".
