What is the reason for sorting out calligraphy?

I think it is precisely because the preface to Lanting Collection has traces of alteration that it will be written. Moreover, the writing of Preface to Lanting is not gorgeous, but it is very simple, and it expresses the author's strong feelings with very simple words. This is a rare parallel prose.

But that's not enough to make it unforgettable. On the contrary, it is from Wang Xizhi's Preface, but the Preface to Lanting is indeed the original. Now the preface to Lanting Collection has been copied and the original has been taken to the grave. Even so, the world still recognizes the status of Lanting Preface.

Although there are many traces of alteration in Wang Xizhi's Preface to the Lanting Pavilion, it is because he is drunk and inevitably makes mistakes, but it is these smears that make the Preface to the Lanting Pavilion more "human". I can feel the author's mood from this daubed handwriting.

This feeling just responds to what we call telling the truth after drinking, and Wang Xizhi's telling the truth after drinking makes people yearn for a drunken mood. How to write such exquisite calligraphy is difficult to copy, and more can reflect the author's true feelings from calligraphy.

I think, perhaps it is this true feeling that makes the Preface to Lanting become the first running script in the world. But in fact, there is another reason because Emperor Taizong raised the status of Preface to Lanting. At that time, the preface to Lanting copied by Emperor Taizong was definitely a great honor for courtiers, so it improved the status of the preface to Lanting.

To sum up, Wang Xizhi's Preface to the Lanting Pavilion has become the world's first running script because of the combination of weather, geography and human harmony, which makes the Preface to the Lanting Pavilion have today's value, but the Preface to the Lanting Pavilion can also bear such value.
