? Never-ending calligraphy museum

Calligraphy is the quintessence of the Chinese nation and a wonderful flower of traditional culture. Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties is the most important period in the history of calligraphy. During this period, China's calligraphy has undergone historic changes, and Zhong You changed official script into regular script. Moreover, there were a lot of inscriptions and stone carvings in this period, and different styles of calligraphy appeared in various ethnic groups, until various styles of calligraphy continued to merge and formed a new calligraphy style. At the same time, many famous calligraphers appeared in this period, which laid the foundation for the further development of calligraphy. Wang Xizhi lives in this era, so we must mention Wang Xizhi when we talk about calligraphy.

In the history of China's calligraphy, there is an article recognized by calligraphers in past dynasties as chinese odyssey? The best running script in the world?

For thousands of years, it has become a classic model for calligraphers to imitate with their hearts and hands. Wang Xizhi's greatest achievement is to increase and damage the ancient method and turn the simple calligraphy style of Han and Wei dynasties into exquisite and beautiful calligraphy style. In a word, the introduction of Chinese character writing from practicality to the realm of paying attention to techniques and tastes is the awakening of calligraphy art, which indicates that calligraphers not only discover the beauty of calligraphy, but also can show it. Preface to Lanting shows the highest realm of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy art, and the author's bearing, spirit, mind and feelings are fully displayed in this work.

Wang Xizhi is good at regular script, running script and cursive script. On the basis of the simple and clumsy book style in Han and Wei Dynasties, he learned from others and created a beautiful and elegant new book style.

Quietly treasured. Later, the original work of Preface to the Orchid Pavilion reached Wang Xizhi's seventh grandson, who became a monk and was known as a wise and brave monk, and was also one of the top ten calligraphers in China history. Since the wise monk had no children, he passed the Preface to the Orchid Pavilion to his disciples. However, Preface to Lanting is not in the Jianghu, but its legends are everywhere in the Jianghu. As a huge fan of Wang Xizhi, Emperor Taizong certainly always yearned for it. He ordered Cai Bian to ask for the Preface to Lanting three times, and even threatened to kill him, but Cai Bian insisted that he had never seen the Preface to Lanting! Taizong was helpless and sleepless. Therefore, Wei Zhi, the prime minister, recommended Xiao Yi, the supervisor of Taizong, saying that he was resourceful, perhaps? Outwit?
