Preface to Lanting Collection was written in China Jin Dynasty (AD 353). Wang Xizhi, a book sage, wrote books and made friends at the foot of Zhu Lan Mountain in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, and wrote "the best running script in the world", also known as Preface to Lanting, Preface to He Lin, Preface to Lanting March 3, etc.
Wang Xizhi compiled these poems into an episode, made a preface, described the swimming event, and expressed the inner feelings caused by it. This preface is Preface to Lanting Collection. And wrote "Preface to Lanting Collection".
Appreciation of the calligraphy of Preface to Lanting;
Although Preface to Lanting is not as good as Wang Shu's cursive script, as an elegant, leisurely and chic style of the times, no one can surpass it and accompany it.
That kind of elegant layout, elegant style, changeable brushwork, and easy borrowing make later learners feel that they are facing an ordinary and mysterious tower, which is often impossible to enter. Just look at the richness of their pens, there are all kinds of wonderful changes, such as hidden front, weighing ornaments, hanging pens to return to the front, tying lines, reflecting belts, turning from square to round, and turning from round to square.
Some transverse wave brushwork is unpredictable, sometimes there is new healing, sometimes there is strange vertical self-harmony, which is also the permanent artistic charm of Lanting Preface. The so-called "no stimulation, no stimulation, no rules" (in the words of Tang Sun Guoting) should be the most appropriate evaluation of the gods in Preface to Lanting.
