What are the similarities and differences between Yan Zhenqing and Wang Xizhi's excellent calligraphy?

Yan Zhenqing is famous for block letters, and Wang Xizhi is famous for his running script. Liu Yan has the reputation of "Yan Liu Jin Gu", and Wang Xizhi's Preface to Lanting is regarded as the best running script in the world. However, both of them pay great attention to the change of font. "Preface to Lanting" 2 1 "zhi" is written differently, and the color body pays more attention to the thickness change in the horizontal and vertical directions. However, Yan Ti is very practical in calligraphy, especially in writing big characters, and everyone is eager to learn.

Yan Zhenqing has opened up a brand-new realm of calligraphy: in terms of characteristics, Yan has a brand-new figure, strict statutes and great momentum. From the aesthetic point of view, beauty of face and beauty of body are dignified, masculine and artificial, and beauty of number is simultaneous, which sets a rule for later generations. From the perspective of the times, the early Tang dynasty inherited the rest of the Jin and Song dynasties, but failed to stand on its own feet. As soon as Yan style appeared, the new style of Tang Doutan casting became one of the distinctive features of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Wang Xizhi is good at Li, Kai, Xing and Cao. He studies his body posture, imitates his heart and pursues it with his hands, absorbs the strengths of others, prepares his body and melts in one furnace. He got rid of the style of writing in Han and Wei dynasties and had a far-reaching influence. His calligraphy is peaceful and natural, and his brushwork is euphemistic and subtle, beautiful and beautiful. The world often uses Cao Zhi's Ode to the Goddess of Luo: "If you are amazed, if you are graceful, if you are in Youlong, you will be glorious and autumn, and Hua Mao will be spring pine. It seems that if the moon is covered by light clouds, it will float like the wind flowing back to snow. " Praise the beauty of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. Later generations commented: "Floating like a cloud, agile like a dragon", "Yue Long goes to heaven, the tiger lies in the phoenix pavilion" and "nature is natural, and abundant gods cover all generations". The most obvious characteristics of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy style are exquisite brushwork and changeable structure. Legend has it that Wang Xizhi practiced calligraphy hard when he was a child. After a long time, the pool water used to clean the brush turned black.
