The Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection, the best running script in the world, embodies the positive energy of harmony and auspiciousness ------
When Wang Xizhi was thirteen years old, he was taken to attend the event by his uncle. At a banquet held by the most famous old man, the old man brought the beef heart roast for the most distinguished guest in front of Wang Xizhi. He predicted: This young man with extraordinary conversation and clear eyes will definitely become famous all over the world in the future. The beauty of glyphs is always just its appearance, and only works that are permeated with understanding of life and compassion for life can truly coexist with heaven and earth.
If a person has been with calligraphy and painting since childhood, he will be in a harmonious and moderate aristocratic environment. There will be auspicious and elegant temperament in him.
This is due to his concentration on holding a brush in hand and copying the calligraphy for several years, and also due to his deep intoxication in holding poems and books in his hand and reading aloud.
Li Yu, the late leader of the Southern Tang Dynasty, said: "Those who are good at calligraphy will each have a right army. If Yu Shinan gains his beauty but loses his majesty, Ouyang Xun gains his strength but loses his elegance, Chu Suiliang got the meaning but lost the change..."
This is only discussed from the external "form", but it does not explain from the internal "spirit".
And this kind of "god" is precisely the romantic style revealed in Wang Xizhi. This is his elegant temperament, straightforward temperament, his obsession with one thing in his life, his unrestrained and unrestrained feelings in painting, and it is also the common inner awakening of that era and the Wei and Jin Dynasties who had a unique perception of life! The future will look at the present, and the present will look at the past!
It is a story of an era when "osmanthus blossoms bloom on Shanyin Road, and Wang Xie is full of romantic books in Jin Dynasty"... The scene of "weeds and flowers beside Zhuque Bridge, and the setting sun at the entrance of Wuyi Lane" has become thousands of A beautiful picture that has been remembered by Chinese people for many years.
And Wang Xizhi also began his legendary life of "the fragrance of ink drifting into the world of mortals, and the romantic chatter in Wuyi Lane".
When today's people worship in front of the works of the former "Sage of Calligraphy" and lament that every word of his is so beautiful, do they also see the desire for spiritual freedom behind those words? To their cry of infinite love for life?
Modern harmony exists among all things in the world, and it has always been popular; and the attitude towards life that cherishes life and pursues harmony and auspiciousness is an everlasting trend!
Calligraphy is the skill of cultivating one’s mind by writing on paper with a brush! Calligraphy most directly presents the state of life and the state of mind (image), which is the manifestation of peripheral nerves and is the closest to people!
Beauty is balance, beauty is in line with a certain frequency of the universe (the unity of heaven and man), the balance of movement and stillness. For example, "Lanting" is like dancing, every movement makes you feel that it is impossible to stay still. The balance! The reason why "Lanting" is called "the best running script in the world" is because it maintains balance while breaking the balance. The dynamic balance of "the dragon leaps over the Tianmen, the tiger lies in the Phoenix Tower"! Just like the moment of a sudden glimpse condenses on the paper and becomes eternal in front of you, calligraphy is the electrocardiogram of the times and the calligrapher! ----This is shape.
"The Preface to the Lanting Collection" is the best running script in the world and a shining example of writing with love. The whole text is filled with the artistic conception of "the sky is clear and the air is clear, and the wind is gentle and gentle", which makes people enjoy reading it. : The feeling of "the breeze comes out of the sleeves and the bright moon enters the arms". ---This is God!
All the virtuous people gathered together at least for a long time, and the literati and poets practiced deeds and rituals. Although there is no orchestral music of silk and bamboo, there are chants and chanting themes. The lush forests and bamboo trees are blessed by the gentle breeze, and the high mountains and lofty mountains are clear and swift. It is written in a smooth and unrestrained way, ranking first in cursive script in the world.
Huixin has worked hard to practice calligraphy skills to perfection, and her pen strokes convey the world's philosophy of life; she uses her brushstrokes and splashes of ink to express her feelings about people and the world!
Chinese calligraphy embodies the positive energy of harmony and auspiciousness and is a unique art. It is not a poem but has the charm of a poem; it is not a painting but has the agility of a painting; it is not a dance but has the elegance of a dance; it is not a song but has the melodiousness of a song. Chinese calligraphy most vividly embodies the spirit of Chinese culture." Calligraphy is the carrier of our national culture. Chinese calligraphy art not only has a long history, but also has a long history, is grand and profound. Starting from the Yin and Shang Dynasties, it has experienced the glory of the Qin and Han Dynasties, the charm of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, The heyday of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the divine will of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and the prosperity of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
