Xiao Rang is a calligrapher. Why does he like to imitate other people's handwriting?

He became famous because he was good at imitation. In ancient times, he was not a man who could write well, but he wanted to have his own calligraphy style, which was still worthy of appreciation. It was not easy to have literary value. Therefore, Xiao Rang is good at imitating the handwriting of many famous artists, which is also his great ability, and his ability has really helped a lot in the Water Margin.

It's not difficult to be born in troubled times with Xiao Rang's talent. After all, if a famous handwriting can be produced at that time, it must have been bought by someone at a high price, and Xiao Rang's ability is beyond doubt, and many people can't distinguish his handwriting. If he wants to, he can write a word casually, and he can be carefree for half his life, but Xiao Rang just met Wu Yong as such a friend. When Song Jiang was arrested, Wu Yong wanted Xiao Rang and Jin Dajian to fake a pair of Cai Jing's words to transfer Song Jiang. After all, Song Jiang was facing the death penalty of decapitation at that time, so the situation was urgent. But in the end, it was revealed. Not only did Song Jiang suffer, but even Xiao Rang faced capital punishment.

In fact, it is not that Xiao Rang's handwriting imitation is not in place, but the actual situation at that time. So why didn't Xiao Rang directly imitate a pair of Song Huizong's words and write the next imperial edict? Actually, it's not that Xiao Rang doesn't want to. It should be that he doesn't dare or can't. After all, Song Huizong's calligraphy is one of the three cursive scripts recognized by later generations, which is of great literary value, and its rhyme is not easily imitated. Like later Su Cai Zhao's handwriting is not as good as Song Huizong's.

Although the emperor of Song Weizong didn't do very well, his excellent calligraphy really deserves the praise of the whole world. There is an imperial air everywhere in his handwriting, so even if he can imitate the handwriting, he can't imitate it. Besides cursive script, Song Huizong's thin gold body is extremely well written. Therefore, even if Xiao Rang had an idea to imitate Song Huizong's words at that time, he might not succeed. After all, that's the emperor's word.
