Why is Wang Can Xizhi called the "Book Sage"? What are the characteristics of his calligraphy?

One of the characteristics of regular script is to pay attention to the beginning and end of writing, pay attention to, enrich and reach the designated position; Second, the stroke action in the middle of the line is mainly to raise the pressure, and there are fewer strokes to twist; Third, the horizontal fold is almost a turning point, with obvious pen folding action. Wang Xizhi lived in Wei and Jin Dynasties, when official script evolved into regular script, as well as Cao Zhang and Jin Cao. Wang Xizhi is good at regular script, and regular script also has great artistic achievements, such as Le Yi Lun, Huang Tingjing and Dong Fangshuo Portrait Fu. Compared with seal script and official script, regular script is not as dense and thick as seal script and official script, but the beginning and end of regular script are more delicate, rich and cautious.

In the process of crosscutting, regular script is the main one. Compared with the combination of seal script and official script, it is a few minutes longer, although it lacks heavy facts. The long completion, especially the folding of the calligraphy pen, opens the structure of a word for cursive script, strengthens the combination of words and phrases, and plays a key role in the whole work. On the basis of calligraphers' habit of using pens, this kind of pen transfer is king.

Before Wang Xizhi, Zhang Zhi was good at Cao Zhang. Cao Zhang's personality is independent, and there is no connection between words. This sentence only echoes in the whole work. Wang Xizhi changed the direction of the horizontal line "Zi" in calligraphy with a turning stroke, from the direction of the turning stroke "Zi" inclined to the right to vertical downward or left downward. This vertical downward and left oblique pen "potential" is very beneficial to the opening of calligraphy structure, strengthening the connection between words and strengthening the combination of words. For top-down writing, cursive writing from right to left has always been a strong support for the pen body.

One of the important reasons why Wang Xi can become a master of calligraphy is that he has the ability to link the past with the future. He can push cursive script to a new height, that is, the nationality and regular script he is good at, and devote himself to the development of cursive script and his mastery of all the brushwork of nationality and cursive script, so he can sum up his brushwork experience, use it for him, take its essence and discard its dross, and make his brushwork set cursive script transfer to these brushwork of lines. He borrowed a lot from the writing habits of regular script, paid attention to the richness, delicacy and appropriateness of starting and putting pen to paper, and increased the turning point of horizontal folding, which was vividly shown in Wang Xizhi's Phoenix Orange Post.
