I. Introduction to Wang Duo
Wang Duo, a famous calligrapher in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, was known as "Wang Duo". Wang Duo pursues the "two kings" in calligraphy, especially Wang Xianzhi, who has extensively dabbled in Wei, Jin, Tang and Song dynasties, and has the most in-depth research on pavilion posts. During the three years from 44 to 46, Wang Duo visited the Jin and Tang Dynasties' masterpiece "The Pavilion in Spring" and was almost at a loss.
13 years old began to learn the preface to the imperial edict of Ji Wang. After only three years of practice, I learned the essence of Wang Xizhi, and calligraphy is famous in the village. Later, he was admitted to imperial academy, and with extraordinary talent, he rose to the peak of officialdom. However, the crumbling buildings of the Ming Dynasty are about to collapse. In desperation, Wang Duo became a "second minister".
Second, "Zhunshan Garden Post"
We can get a glimpse of the real legacy of the "two kings" from the post to the mountain garden. After this post was introduced to Japan, Wang Duo defeated Wang Xizhi with this word, and became the "pen god" in the eyes of the Japanese, known as the "late king of Sheng Wang". The "first king" was Wang Duo, and the "first king" was Wang Xizhi.
Wang Duo's copying skills are superb. No matter what kind of calligraphy style, he can always write the essence of God in his works. In this Zhunshan Garden Post, there are regular script, running script and running script, and every word is exquisite, and every word is unconventional and relaxed. Really worthy of the title of "pen god"!
