First, the emotional significance of "New Moon Sticker"
? "New Moon Sticker" is a letter written by Wang Huizhi to a friend, expressing his grief and feelings over the death of another friend, and advising friends to cherish their health and pay attention to their diet. At that time, when writing this letter, the background was that he was in poor health, but he was still very considerate and caring for his friends. Therefore, it can be said that the New Moon Sticker was used by Wang Huizhi to prove that he was not the kind of person who didn't care about anything as the literati thought at that time, but also a flesh-and-blood emotional middleman.
Second, the artistic value of crescent stickers
While paying attention to emotional significance, crescent stickers also have high artistic value. Wang Huizhi's calligraphy is mainly cursive, while crescent stickers are mainly regular script and running script. Between the lines, the brushwork is calm and gentle, and every stroke is slow and every stroke is implemented. His calligraphy is not as elegant as Wang Xizhi's, nor as passionate as Wang Xianzhi's, but more unique. So it was commented by later calligraphers as? Deep and elegant? . To sum up, it can be seen that the calligraphy art value of crescent stickers is extremely high.
Third, the historical value of crescent moon stickers
China's traditional culture is extensive and profound, which can be said to have a continuous origin from ancient times to the present. However, it is almost impossible for the calligraphy works of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, such as "New Moon Sticker", to survive to this day. Legend has it that the "New Moon Sticker" was presented by Prime Minister Wang of Wu Zetian era together with nine other calligraphy works handed down from his family, and then it was drawn by double hook copying method. These ten works are collectively called Long Live the Sky. In the course of later generations, many fires, wars and so on happened. Therefore, we feel very lucky to see this art treasure in Liaoning Museum today.
