I. Interpretation
The first step is to save, don't be sparse, there are many wonders in the mountains and rivers. Yang Xiong's "Shu Capital" and Zuo Taichong's "Three Capitals" are especially surprising. Knowing that he is so strange is good for his eyes and feet.
If you can get the fruit, you should tell Qing to beg for it. Few people have enough ears. Signal at the right time. It is true that this period is too late and the day is old. I want to set foot in town, but I don't care. If you want to be with your wife, it will be a fairy event to visit Wenling and Emei. But when I say this, my heart is on the other side.
Two. Brief introduction of the author
Wang Xizhi (32 1-379, 303-36 1), a calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was born in Wangjia, Linyi, Shandong. He held many official positions and was a famous right-wing general, so he was called "Wang Youjun".
Wang Xizhi is good at orthography, running script and cursive script. He changed the simple calligraphy style since the Han and Wei Dynasties and created a new beautiful and convenient style. His works are called "book saints", and the original works have disappeared, but most of them are copied by later generations. Among them, Preface to Lanting is the representative work of the running script, the first month's post and the seventeenth post are the representative works of the cursive script, the most famous of which are Huang Tingjing and Le Yi Lun.
Calligraphy analysis
First, the air shaft
Compared with engraving, the characters and spools of Youmutie turn the dynamic trend of engraving into a stable straight line. Compared with the word "move your ears" in the eighth line, the right side of the engraving "Li" has tilted to the left, and the last stroke of "two" continues to move to the left, so the word "Yao" is also to the left.
The word "desire" is to the right, and the axis of this line is skewed, while the copy of "You Mu Tie" begins with the word "reason" and is almost written vertically. Wang Xizhi's writing rhythm of "turning left and right" has decreased, just as Wang Xizhi said in On Books that "if the pen is straight, it will be like a book for a while, but it will be weak for a long time".
Second, Yan Mei is agile.
The calligraphy of "Youmutie" is beautiful but not gentle and charming, smart but not frivolous, strong but not arrogant, smart but not reserved. Fang Ming's little Confucian praised the cloud: "The book" You Mu Tie "is neat and tidy, and it is full of strength in jumping. Its ups and downs are like natural luck. The change is sudden, unpredictable, amazing and self-defeating. "
