Pu Shu's original text and translation

The original score of the book is as follows:

Husband has been good at writing since ancient times, and Han and Wei have stunts. Later Jin Dynasty called two kings wonderful. Wang Xizhi said: "Looking for all the famous works, Zhong is unmatched, and the rest is not enough."

It can be said that Zhong and Xian did not, but, Xian inherited. Another cloud said, "My book is like a clock, and the clock should resist or say. Cao Zhang is still a wild goose. However, Zhang is good at this, and the pool is full of ink, which worries me. If it is not necessary, I will thank you. " This is the meaning of clock push. Test its professional knowledge, although it failed in the previous regulations; In order to communicate at the same time, there is nothing shameful about it.

The translation of the book score is as follows:

Calligraphers throughout the ages, from the Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms period, Zhong and Zhang Zhi's calligraphy is the most exquisite, known as "Zhong Zhang's masterpiece". At the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Wang Xizhi and his son Wang Xianzhi had good calligraphy.

Wang Xizhi said: "I have collected and studied many famous calligraphy works recently. I am sure that only Zhong and Zhang's calligraphy have reached an unparalleled level, and the rest are not worth seeing." It can be said that after the death of Zhong and Zhang, only Wang Xizhi and his son can inherit their status.

Wang Xizhi added, "Compared with Zhong Zhang, my calligraphy is as good as Zhong Zhang's, even better than him. Almost worse than Zhang's cursive script, behind him. But Zhang Zhi's brushwork is good at this, and he made great efforts to blacken the water in the pond where he practiced calligraphy. If I am as persistent as him, I may not be as persistent as him. " .

This is the meaning of praising Zhang Zhi for surpassing the clock. Looking at Wang's expertise, although some deviated from the previous calligraphy norms, he was able to learn from others and create his own calligraphy style. Therefore, they are worthy of the reputation of "the wonders of the two kings".
