Wang Xizhi was a calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He learned from others and created a unique calligraphy style, which was praised by later generations as Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, which was powerful in beauty and soft in strength, which was unmatched by many later calligraphers. So many people who study calligraphy take his handwriting as a model.
Legend has it that once, the emperor went to the northern suburbs to offer sacrifices, and asked Wang Xizhi to write the words of sacrifice on a board, and then sent someone to carve them. When carving, the sculptor was surprised to find that Wang Xizhi's calligraphy ink had been printed on the board. The sculptor cut into three points to see the end, and could not help but marvel at Wang Xizhi's heroic brushwork. According to the plot of this story, people who come here are directly used to describe people who write articles or make very profound speeches.
Wang Xizhi's Calligraphy Talent
Wang Xizhi has a great talent for calligraphy since he was a child. At the age of seven, he was already famous and could write with one hand. At the age of twelve, Wang Xizhi accidentally found a good calligraphy book in his father's study and secretly took it out to read. Since then, he studied day and night, meticulously practiced calligraphy according to the methods mentioned in the book, and his calligraphy level has been continuously improved.
Although Wang Xizhi's handwriting is so good, it has something to do with his talent, but the most important thing is his hard work. In order to practice his handwriting well, whether he is resting or walking, he must think about the structure of the font, try to figure out the shelf and momentum of the word, and keep paddling his fingers on his skirt. So after a long time, even my clothes were cut.
Wang Xizhi practices calligraphy every day, and then goes to the pond in the back garden to clean the pen and inkstone. Over time, the whole pond was infected with juice, which shows how hard Wang Xizhi practiced calligraphy.
