Appreciation of Preface to Lanting Collection;
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, graceful and relaxed style, changeable brushwork, freely taking advantage of the situation.
Scholars of later generations feel that they are facing an ordinary and mysterious tower, which is often inaccessible. Just looking at the richness of their pens, there are various wonderful changes, such as hiding the front, weighing ornaments, hanging pens to return to the front, tying lines, reflecting tapes, turning from square to circle, and turning from circle to square.
Some horizontal pens and wave pens have the legacy of official script, which is unpredictable, new and better, and even and odd, which is also the permanent artistic charm of Lanting Preface.
