Since Emperor Taizong Li Shimin vigorously promoted Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, calligraphers of all ages have been full of praise for Wang Xizhi. Calligraphy in Jin Dynasty, represented by Wang Xizhi, is considered to be the highest peak of China's calligraphy, and Wang Xizhi is the highest peak, the highest peak in the world. What is this called? Book saint? . For more than 1000 years, almost no one doubted the above view. Perhaps only Mifei was drunk and scolded Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. As for other aspects, it is difficult to hear any criticism. So, is Wang Xizhi really the highest peak of China's calligraphy? It may not be true. ? As is known to all, Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, admired Wang Xizhi's calligraphy very much, and even achieved the goal of reverence. He collected Wang Xizhi's original works on a large scale and ordered his famous ministers to copy Wang Xizhi's works. For example, the calligraphy works of famous calligraphers Yu Shinan and Zhu Suiliang are all over the world. Wang Xizhi's masterpiece Preface to Lanting has been promoted to myth. There have been countless copies, faxes and engravings. Later, because the original tomb was buried with Zhaoling, the Preface to Lanting was mysteriously covered up. Countless people have studied it all their lives, even called it? The first running script in the world? . Thanks to the admiration of a generation of saints, the world has set off an upsurge of learning Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. This influence is not limited to time, but also affects the development history of calligraphy for more than 1000 years. Emperor, calligrapher and calligraphy critic all praised Wang Xizhi, and Wang Xizhi was finally promoted to the highest peak of calligraphy in China. In fact, before the Eastern Jin Dynasty and even the Tang Dynasty, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy was not highly appraised, even worse than his son Wang Xianzhi. It should be said that the evaluation level of art is closely related to the development level of art. If the calligraphy level in the Eastern Jin Dynasty is the highest, then the calligraphy criticism level in the Eastern Jin Dynasty should not be low, but Wang Xizhi has existed in the Eastern Jin Dynasty for a long time. It was not until Li Shimin appeared that he was highly praised. On the other hand, Du Li's poems and other art forms were also in full swing at that time. Like Su Han's prose, it was admired by thousands of people at that time, which also made people doubt Wang Xizhi's calligraphy skill.
