A short story about Wang Xizhi once had lunch. Nunnery brought Wang Xizhi's favorite garlic paste and steamed bread and urged him to eat it quickly several times. He still didn't even look up, as if he didn't hear, absorbed in reading posts and writing. The meal was cold, so Jibang had to ask Wang Xizhi's mother to persuade him to eat. Mother came to the study, only to find Xihe holding a steamed bread stained with ink and sending it to her mouth, making her mouth black. It turned out that when Xi Zhi was eating steamed stuffed buns, he was still looking at the words and thinking about how to write them in his mind. As a result, he mistook the ink for garlic. Mother couldn't help laughing when she saw this scene. Wang Xizhi still doesn't know what's going on Hearing his mother's laughter, he also said: today's garlic is really fragrant! ? Wang Xizhi persisted for decades, studied hard, kept posting, and practiced very solid kung fu, which laid the foundation and paved the way for his future development.
He believes that raising geese can not only cultivate sentiment, but also understand the truth of calligraphy from some gestures of geese. One morning, Wang Xizhi and his son Wang Xianzhi took a boat tour of Shaoxing. When they arrived near Xianshui Village, they saw a flock of white geese on the shore, staggering and dawdling. Wang Xizhi was fascinated by these white geese and wanted to buy them home. Wang Xizhi asked the Taoist priest nearby, hoping that the Taoist priest could sell him the goose. The Taoist priest said, "If the right army adults want it, please write a Taoist health book" Huang Ting Jing "for me! Wang Xizhi longed for the goose and readily agreed to the conditions put forward by the Taoist priest. This is the story of "Wang Xizhi gave the White Goose Book".
At the age of twenty, A Qiu Chi Jian sent someone to Wang Dao's house to choose a son-in-law. At that time, people paid attention to family status, and the door was right. When Wang Dao's son and nephew heard that Qiu's family was coming to propose marriage, they all dressed up in disguise, hoping to be selected. Only Wang Xizhi, as if he didn't hear anything, was lying on the bamboo couch in the east, eating baked wheat cakes in one hand and painting clothes in the other. When people came back, they reported what they saw to Xi Taiwei. When he knew that there was a quiet Wang Xizhi leaning on the east couch, he couldn't help clapping his hands and cheering. This is the son-in-law I want! So Chi Jian married his daughter Xi Jun to Wang Xizhi. This story has become two allusions of "East Bed" and "Lingtan".
There are more idioms on him than that. It is said that on one occasion, he wrote his words on a board and gave them to a sculptor for carving. The man cut the board with a knife, only to find that his handwriting was printed two-thirds deep in the board. This is the origin of the idiom "cut to the chase".
Wang Xizhi loved writing since he was a child. It is said that when I usually walk, I also practice writing with my fingers at any time. After a long time, even the clothes were cut. After studying hard and practicing hard, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy became more and more famous. People at that time regarded his calligraphy as a treasure. Once, Wang Xizhi met an old woman selling fans and wrote a few words on a fan. At first, the old woman was very unhappy and complained that Wang Xizhi had soiled her fan. Wang Xizhi said to her: Just say that it is an inscription by Wang Youjun (the right general of Wang Xizhi), and someone will definitely buy it. The old lady selling fans was dubious, but when she really shouted in a crowded place, Hu Long was surrounded by people and everyone rushed to buy it. You forced me to take it, and it soon sold out.
One year on New Year's Day, Wang Xizhi posted couplets three times in a row, and those who loved his words stole them. On New Year's Eve, I had to write another letter. He was afraid of being exposed again, so he cut it up and down and put it in half first. Shanglian is? Happiness is not doubled? What is the bottom line? It never rains but it pours? . In this way, it really worked. When people saw that what he wrote was unlucky and not rich, they stopped revealing it. At the beginning of the new year, Wang Xizhi posted half a picture each, and the couplet became:? Until today, there has been no double happiness, but last night it never rains but it pours. ? Passers-by clapped their hands and sighed.
It is said that Wang Xizhi has a beloved pearl. This pearl is not only for entertainment, but also for viewing. Wang Xizhi often rubs his hands when writing to enhance his wrist strength. One day, the pearl suddenly disappeared. I looked and looked, but I couldn't find it. Wang Xizhi is very upset. Who stole it? Except for a monk who lives in his house, no outsiders have been around him? Therefore, he became indifferent to monks. The monk found that the master had doubts about him, so he took it? Sitting? In the name of not eating, I am starving. Later, when the family slaughtered the white goose, pearls were found in the belly of the big white goose. It turned out that the big white goose swallowed the beads. When things were made clear, Wang Xizhi deeply felt that he had wronged the monk, regretted it and was very sad. He rebuilt his house in memory of the innocent monk? Jujie temple? Take the pearl-throwing incident as a lesson, treat your friends sincerely, and don't easily doubt others and let them be wronged.
Several stories about Wang Xizhi: 1. Steal "calligraphy"
Wang Xizhi's handwriting was outstanding when he was seven years old. At the age of twelve, he found the calligraphy book "Calligraphy" written by the previous generation under his father Wang Kuang's pillow and secretly took it out to read. When my father found out, he asked him, Why did you peek at my hidden things? Wang Xizhi smiled without a word. Mom told him: See how to use brushwork. ? Father thinks he is young and is afraid that he can't keep the secret of the family heirloom. He told him: I'll teach you when you grow up. ? Wang Xizhi knelt down and begged his father to say, now let me study. When I grow up, I'm afraid my interest and cleverness in calligraphy will not be as great as it is now. ? Father was very happy and finally gave him the book. In less than a month, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy has made great progress. Soon, Mrs. Wei, a great calligrapher at that time, saw Wang Xizhi's handwriting and said to Taichang: The child must have read the hint of using a pen. I found that his calligraphy has reached the level of an adult recently. ? I was so happy that I said with tears: This child has a future and will definitely surpass me and drown my reputation. ?
Second, the best running script in the world.
On March 3rd, 9th year of Yonghe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, forty-one people, including Wang Xizhi, Sun Chenggong, Xie An and Zhi Dun from Taiyuan, gathered at Lanting in Huiji for a meditation day. They bend the water (wine glasses; Drift, put the cup in the water), drink, write poems and express your feelings. And put these poems into an episode, named "Preface to Lanting Collection". Wang Xizhi wrote a preface for this episode, recorded the grand occasion of the banquet and wrote down the impressions of the participants. This preface was written by himself. It's Preface to Lanting Collection.
He wrote this preface with cocoon paper and eight-character pen, which was vigorous and full of charm, overwhelming all the calligraphy of his generation. A total of 324 words, all repeated words are written in different ways, including? What? There are more than twenty characters, which are very different, and no two are the same, as if they have been helped by God. After he was sober, he wrote many books a few days later, but none of them were as good as the one written at the Lanting rally.
Preface to Lanting is the first of the three major running scripts in China's calligraphy history, and the other two are Sacrifice to My Nephew by Yan Zhenqing in Tang Dynasty and Cold Food Post by Su Shi in Song Dynasty. So Wang Xizhi's Preface to Lanting Collection includes? The best running script in the world? The reputation of.
Third, your own body.
Wang Xizhi's calligraphy was not the best at first, nor did it surpass the calligraphers at that time. At the age of 53, he still copied ancient Chinese characters seriously, not afraid of old age, and practiced hard day and night. Even when I was walking on the road and sitting in a chair, I was still thinking about the posture of famous books and posts, and my hands kept drawing glyphs on my body. Over time,
I even cut my own skirt.
Once after sleeping in bed, he even scratched his hand in the air and unconsciously scratched his wife. His wife was angry and said, why do you always row on others? Your own body, gone?
Wang Xizhi heard? Your body? I suddenly realized that I should create my own writing style. Since then, he has been familiar with the calligraphy of inscriptions, integrated the strengths of various philosophers, gained the ever-changing god, and practiced hard, so he became a family of his own. Later, he became a famous calligrapher in China.
Fourth, the mountain middle school book
Wang Xizhi also said that he lived alone in the valley and copied Zhong You and Zhang Zhi's regular script and cursive script for 20 years. I don't know how many words are written on bamboo leaves, bark, rocks and sawdust. As for silk, paper, stationery, wrinkled yarn, withered vines and wood, they are all used to practice calligraphy repeatedly.
Five, the pen is stuck.
When Wang Xizhi was appointed as a folk historian, his son Amethyst (Wang Xianzhi Amethyst) began to learn calligraphy at the age of seven or eight. On one occasion, Wang Xizhi suddenly pulled out his brush from behind his son, but failed to pull it out. Wang Xizhi praised happily: this child's calligraphy will be famous in the future! ?
Six, this book uses the word goose.
Wang Xizhi likes geese by nature. There is a Taoist priest in Tan Zhi village behind the mountain who keeps a dozen beautiful geese. Wang Xizhi often drives a boat early in the morning and deliberately goes to see those geese. He really wanted it, so the negotiator was willing to pay a high price, but the Taoist refused. I've talked to you many times, but to no avail. The Taoist priest told Wang Xizhi that he liked Laozi very much and wanted to copy Laozi's Tao Te Ching for a long time. Silk has been made, but no one can write it. Said, if you are willing to help me copy the Tao Te Ching, I will give you all these geese. As a result, Wang Xizhi copied it for him in half a day. The Taoist priest gave him all the geese, and he was very happy to take them home.
Wang Xizhi's allusions 1. Allusions: Dong Chuang Tan Abdomen
According to Shi Shuo Xin Yu, at the age of 20, another scholar-bureaucrat Chi Jian sent someone to the Wangs to choose a husband. At that time, family status was important, and the sons and nephews of the Wangs dressed up in disguise and looked reserved, hoping to be elected. However, Xi lay beside the bamboo case in the east without thinking, gesticulating with calligraphy and eating cold steamed stuffed buns. Because of the hot weather, his chest was exposed. Qiu jubilantly praised: This is my husband! From then on? East bed? (son-in-law's address) and then what? Lingtan? Say (call someone else's son-in-law).
Story: Choosing a husband in the oriental bed
That was a long time ago. At that time, there was a great official named Chi Jian. He is a man who loves talents very much. In order to choose a suitable object for her daughter, the boss Xi racked his brains. Later, when he learned that the children of the Wangs were handsome and talented, he wanted to narrow down the scope and choose one of these young people as a son-in-law. When the news came, the children of the Wangs were excited and nervous. They heard that Miss Xi has a good personality and is very talented. Who doesn't want to marry her? As a result, they were carefully decorated, sitting in school, seemingly reading books, and their hearts had already flown.
However, on the east side of the case, there is a person who is different. I saw him casually as usual, as if there was no such thing, and he was still writing intently. On this day, the weather was not hot, but the young man was so hot that he untied his coat and showed his stomach. Maybe he has no time to eat in the morning. As he wrote, he grabbed a mouthful of cold steamed bread and chewed it freely. His eyes were still fixed on the calligraphy in front of him. The right hand holding the brush has not been released for a moment, and sometimes it will be hung up to write. That serious expression makes people laugh.
Chi Jian sent his own representative to the school to observe and understand, and then he went back. In his opinion, the children of the Wangs are very good, polite, young, handsome and talented, and it is almost impossible to say which is the best and which is the worst. However, to say that the performance is not so satisfactory, there is another one. He bared his chest and abdomen, while writing and eating steamed bread. It seems too casual, as if he doesn't care about such an important thing as the boss choosing a son-in-law?
This adult Xi listened to the return, for this behavior? Whatever. Young people are interested. He inquired about the situation in detail, closed his hands happily and said, this is the son-in-law I am looking for. ? What's going on here? Boss Xi thinks that this young man doesn't take personal matters to heart, but concentrates on calligraphy, which is a promising performance. With such enthusiasm and infatuation, he is not worried about becoming a talent.
Guess who this young man is? It was none other than Wang Xizhi, and later he really became an outstanding calligrapher. This shows that the boss Xi has a good eye. By the way, Wang Xizhi's wife and Chi Jian's daughter are also calligraphers, which are very helpful to Wang Xizhi. Her son Wang Xianzhi later became a famous calligrapher, which is also her credit.
Second, Wang Xizhi wrote about geese.
Many artists have their own hobbies, some love to grow flowers and some love to keep birds. But Wang Xizhi has his special hobbies. Where there are good geese, he is interested in seeing them, or buying them to enjoy.
There is a Taoist in Yinshan. He wants Wang Xizhi to write him a copy of Tao Te Ching. But he knew that Wang Xizhi would not copy scriptures for others easily. Later, he found that Wang Xizhi liked white geese, so he specially raised a number of geese with good varieties.
Wang Xizhi heard that there were good geese in Taoism, so he really went to see them. When he approached the Taoist priest's house, he saw a flock of geese floating leisurely on the surface of the river, with white feathers and high red tops. It was really cute.
Wang Xizhi watched by the river and was reluctant to leave, so he sent someone to find a Taoist priest and asked to sell him the goose.
The Taoist priest said with a smile, since the princes love so much, they don't spend much. I'll give you all these geese. But I have a request, please write a volume of scriptures for me. ?
Wang Xizhi did not hesitate to copy a scroll of scriptures for Taoist priests, and the goose was taken back by Wang Xizhi.
Third, the pool is full of ink.
Since the age of seven, I have been studying with Mrs. Wei (Wei said), especially admiring Zhang Zhi and Zhong You and learning from their hard work. When you were young, did you? Learn books in Linchi, and the pool is exhausted? .
Fourth, Wang Xizhi helped the old lady sell fans.
Wang Xizhi was a great calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He was born in the gentry, and with his outstanding talent, all the ministers in the court recommended him to be an official. He is the secretariat and general of the right army (people also call him Wang Youjun).
Wang Xizhi loved writing since he was a child. It is said that when I usually walk, I also practice writing with my fingers at any time. After a long time, even the clothes were cut. After studying hard and practicing hard, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy became more and more famous. People at that time regarded his calligraphy as a treasure.
It is said that once, Wang Xizhi went to a village. An old woman went to a charity sale with a basket of hexagonal bamboo fans. That kind of bamboo fan is very simple, without any decoration, which can't attract the interest of passers-by. It seems that it can't be sold, and the old woman is very anxious.
Seeing this situation, Wang Xizhi sympathized with the old woman and walked up to her and said, Of course, you can't sell this bamboo fan without pictures or words. How about I write you an inscription? The old woman doesn't know Wang Xizhi. Seeing his enthusiasm, she wrote him a bamboo fan. Wang Xizhi took a pen, wrote five words on each fan and gave them back to the old woman. The old woman can't read, and she feels that his handwriting is scrawled, so she is very unhappy.
Wang Xizhi comforted her and said, don't worry. You told the fan buyer that this was written by Wang Youjun? .
As soon as Wang Xizhi left, the old woman did as he said. Collectors rushed to buy Wang Youjun's calligraphy after seeing it. A basket of bamboo fans soon sold out.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) Wang Xizhi's godson learned calligraphy.
Wang Xianzhi, the seventh son of Wang Xizhi, was smart and studious since childhood. He is good at cursive script and official script, and he is good at painting. He began to learn calligraphy at the age of seven or eight and studied under his father. On one occasion, Wang Xizhi saw that Xianzhi was practicing calligraphy attentively, so he quietly walked behind him and suddenly reached out to draw a brush in his hand. Xianzhi held the pen tightly and was not pulled out. Father was very happy and praised:? With this son, I will have a big name. ? Xiaoxian was smug after hearing this. Another time, a friend of Xizhi asked Xian to write on a fan, and then he wrote with a brush. Suddenly, the pen fell on the fan and polluted the words. Xiaoxian had a brainwave and a calf came alive on the fan. In addition, people are full of praise for the calligraphy and painting provided, and the small quotation has cultivated pride. The parents who saw this scene were also thoughtful.
One day, Xiao Xianzhi asked his mother Xi: I only need to write for another three years, right? Mom shook her head. ? Five years, right? Mother shook her head again. In desperation, I said to my mother: How long do you think it will take you to remember? After writing this 18 tank of water in the yard, your handwriting will be strong and flesh-and-blood, and you will stand straight and steady. ? My father stood behind him when I turned around. Wang Xianzhi refused to accept it and said nothing. He gritted his teeth for five years and showed his father a lot of written words, hoping to hear a few words of praise. Who knows, Wang Xizhi shook his head one by one. Buy one? Big? Without saying anything, my father showed a satisfied expression, and he was at ease? Big? Fill in a dot under the word, and then return all the manuscripts to dedication.
Xiaoxian was still not satisfied, but he showed all his calligraphy to his mother and said, I practiced for another five years, completely according to my father's words. Take a closer look. What is the difference between my father's handwriting and mine? Mother really looked at it carefully for three days and finally pointed it at Wang Xizhi? Big? The dot added under the word sighed and said, my son has worn out three tanks of water, and there is only one thing like it. ?
I was very discouraged after listening to it, and said weakly: difficult! At this rate, when can we have a good result? Seeing that his arrogance has disappeared, his mother encouraged him to say: Son, as long as you work hard, there is no river that you can't cross and mountain that you can't climb. As long as you keep practicing as you have in recent years, you will certainly achieve your goal! ?
After listening to the dedication, I was deeply moved and kept practicing. Everything comes to him who waits. He used 18 buckets of water to practice calligraphy, and calligraphy made rapid progress. Later, Wang Xianzhi's calligraphy reached the state of penetrating paper and ink, and it was called "Wang Xizhi's calligraphy". Two kings? .
Sixth, be alert.
