Wang Xizhi's "Preface to Lanting" calligraphy conforms to the most basic aesthetic view of traditional calligraphy: "literary quality is not flashy, qualitative but not wild, not vigorous but not vigorous, gentle and elegant". His brushwork combines rigidity with softness, his lines are flexible, his stippling is concise, his book style is based on dispersion, and he has the aesthetic feeling of respect, concession and comparison, which has become a model of "the beauty of neutralization". Appreciating the Preface to Lanting will give you an extraordinary artistic enjoyment.
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 comfortable borrowing, make later generations of literati feel that they are facing an ordinary and mysterious tower and can't enter the door.
Looking at the richness of his pen, there are various wonderful changes, such as hiding the front, weighing and decorating, hanging the pen to the front, tying the line, reflecting the belt, turning from square to circle, and turning from circle to square. Some horizontal pens and wave pens have the meaning of official script, which is unpredictable, new and healing, and the common mind sees the strange longitudinal, which is also the permanent artistic charm of Lanting Preface.
Extended data:
Preface to Lanting is a book written by Wang Xizhi at the age of 47. It tells the story that Xihe and his good friend Yashi gathered in Lanting (now Lanqing, southwest of Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province) for a grand tour. The full text is as follows:
Yonghe nine years, aged in Guichou, will gather in Lanting to repair things in late spring and early spring. A group of smart people never miss, but some of them are long and salty. There are mountains here, and there are bamboo cultivation in Maolin; There is also a clear stream, which reflects left and right, thinking it is a stream, followed by a row. Although it is not as prosperous as the string of silk and bamboo, it is enough to love.
It's sunny, sunny and breezy. Looking up at the size of the universe and overlooking the variety, it's enough to enjoy watching and listening. I believe in coke. The phase of a lady, pitching for a lifetime, or taking a bosom, realizing a room; Let the waves go because of the entrustment. Although the fun is different, the calmness is different. When they are happy with what they encounter, they will gain something from themselves temporarily, they will be self-sufficient (the same as "fast"), and they will not know the arrival of old age. What he is tired of is that his feelings are advancing with the times and his feelings are sentimental.
I'm happy about it. It's a thing of the past between pitches, so I still have to be happy about it. The situation is short-lived, and it will end in the end. The ancients said, "Life and death are great." It hurts!
Every time we look at the reasons for the excitement of the ancients, if we unite, we will not be without sorrow, and we can't compare it to something in our chests. Knowing that a dead life is a false birthday and the destruction of Peng Qi is a mistake. Look at the present in the future or look at the past today. Sad husband! Therefore, as soon as people go public, they record what they say. Although the world is different, they are happy and they are one. Later visitors will also be impressed by Sven.
