The "Lanting Preface" by Wang Xizhi we are seeing now has been confirmed to be a fake and not Wang Xizhi's original work. So, why is the value of calligraphy higher than the original works of other calligraphers?

Zhang Huaiguan, the calligraphy theorist of the Tang Dynasty, said in "On Characters" that those who are deeply familiar with calligraphy "can only see the spirit but not the shape of the characters." . This comment illustrates the problem. As long as people who write calligraphy have charm, they should not care so much about the shape of the characters. People who care about the shape of the characters are generally people who have not received the real tax. I am a person who has not even found a way. , as for what is the essence, then I don’t even know!
The second one is the "Lanting Preface" written using the method of "copying", which is the closest to Wang Xizhi's brilliance. This method is also more suitable for beginners. However, even if I follow this method, I still can't find the door. It seems that I really know nothing about calligraphy. No wonder the teacher said that I can't write calligraphy well in my life! It seems that the teacher is right.
Many people learn calligraphy to show their temperament and charm. Of course, I just want to write more beautifully and have no other ideas. The "Lanting Preface" written in a copy way is not to show his own thoughts and temperament, but to show Wang Xizhi's. This is a very important reason why "Lanting Preface" is higher than other calligraphers' original works! In fact, it’s a matter of whose perspective you want to look at the problem from.
Of course, we are migrant workers. We only look at the problem from our own perspective, which is why we are in our current state. If we look at the problem from the company's perspective, will our level be improved? A lot? Can we have better development?
