Wang Xianzhi, a native of Yongxing, Hunan, is a contemporary scholar, expert in cultural relics appraisal, poet and calligrapher. His calligraphy started from Zhao and Dong, then went to Beihai and Tang, and finally traced back to Erwang, and it was spread all over the tablets, integrating the strengths of various schools and forming its own family. His calligraphy has both ancient interest and modern beauty, appealing to both refined and popular tastes.
Mr. Wang Xianzhi dabbled in Confucianism, Buddhism, medicine, Taoism, hundred schools of thought, astronomy, martial arts, Taiji, poetry and prose, especially in the study of inscriptions. Over the years, I have suffered from the classic calligraphy inscriptions of past dynasties, and visited Chunhua Pavilion and Sanxi Hall for more than ten times. The above methods are the methods to prove his personal knowledge. In the end, he is brand-new and unique. He has been learning Zen tea and living a simple life, but few people know the details today. He is a mysterious scholar. There is a reputation as a Zen master in the workshop.
Mr. Wang has been fond of reading since he was a child, and his collection of books is beyond the reach of ordinary people. From the pre-Qin period to the present, the collection of books includes calligraphy inscriptions, stone seal cutting, subsets of classics and history, poems and songs, Buddhism and Taoism, astronomy and geography, world history and economy, philosophical aesthetics, Chinese and western medicine, Chinese and foreign art, music and so on. Mr. Wang has read all kinds of books, read them, quote them at will, and get them at your fingertips. His talent is amazing.
Mr Zhai is called "Daqian Pavilion" for two reasons. First, Mr Zhai has a profound appreciation of calligraphy and painting, and has a reputation as a "contemporary genius". In addition, Mr. Zhang has always respected Zhang Daqian, a master of Chinese painting, so he likes this title very much. The second is to take its infinite number and treat the impetuous gas in the world. His calligraphy theory is very simple and natural. He believes that there is no need to limit statutes when writing, and there is no difference between learning and learning in inscriptions. The key is to understand, in calligraphy, each needs what he wants, and win or lose between pen and ink.
In his spare time, Mr. Wang's comments on calligraphy, pen and ink, and Linchi are all in one book, including Notes on Calligraphy, Random Talks on Linchi, On Ten Diseases of Calligraphy, Appreciation of Calligraphy, Mastery of Running Script, and Preliminary Exploration of Pen Calligraphy.
