at the meeting, it is a time of mastery; People and books are old, which means mature and sophisticated. "Old", for people and calligraphy, is not aging, but maturity, which is full of old age. People who study books have nothing to do with age; Calligraphy, as an art, is eternal. Wang Xizhi wrote "Preface to Lanting", probably only 5 years old. When a person learns calligraphy, he is often afraid and inevitably awkward at the beginning; In the medium term, I have a foundation and am obsessed with skills; In the later period, we can master the cow and become familiar with it. When you are at ease, the writer has a well-thought-out plan, an old mind, a sophisticated calligraphy and a formed style, so that you can reach "all people and books are old".
The simpler the instruments used by an art, the more it can display the author's subjective spirit. China's calligraphy is such an art, which is black and white with pen and paper, but it is changeable, giving birth to beautiful works. Another feature of calligraphy is that it requires the creator to do it with a wave of his hand, not to describe it, to write well and write badly, and to save a thought, otherwise it is not called calligraphy, but to draw. You can imagine the difficulty this brings to calligraphy creation. Without solid copying skills, flashing artistic inspiration and impromptu passion for life, you can't write masterpieces handed down from generation to generation.
thus, calligraphy also brings another feature, that is, it is the same masterpiece, which is difficult to copy over time. When Wang Xizhi was half drunk, he wrote the Preface to the Lanting Pavilion, which is called "the best running script in the world". Later, he could never create the same exquisite and exquisite products with both charm and charm. Yan Zhenqing, with the heart of sorrow and indignation, wrote "A Manuscript for Sacrificing a Nephew", which is known as "the second running script in the world", and it is difficult to write a vivid second time afterwards.
