The original text and translation of Kuai Xue Shi Qing's post are as follows:
The original text of Kuai Xue Shi Qing's post is: "Kuai Snow Shi Qing looks clear for a few nights, the plum blossoms are blowing in the nose and the windows are chaotic." It is a line from an ancient poem.
Translation: When it was about to snow, the sunny weather made me look up many times. The plum blossoms in front of the window exuded a rich fragrance and fell to the ground.
Appreciation:
After the heavy snow, the weather turned sunny, and Wang Xizhi used this short note to express his greetings to his friends. The last line "Sanyin Zhanghou" may be the name of the recipient. It was originally written on the cover of the letter, but is copied here together with the original on the same piece of paper.
This piece of calligraphy is mainly composed of round pens with hidden edge. The strokes are not exposed when starting and closing the pen, hooking, lifting or curling. The strokes are mostly made from horizontal to vertical to circular, and the structure is even and stable. It shows a calm and leisurely mood, neither slow nor slow. Zhan Jingfeng, a collector in the Ming Dynasty, described its characteristics as "round, vigorous and elegant, with a leisurely and leisurely style, and an unfathomable taste".
He also believed that Zhao Mengfu Influenced by this writing. However, Wang Xizhi was restrained and submissive, while Zhao Mengfu showed a slight edge. Comparing the inscriptions and postscripts of Zhao Mengfu, we can get this impression.
Extended information:
The dot paintings in "Quick Snow and Clear Tie" are full of emotions, and the hooks and hooks are not exposed. The emphasis is on the roundness and vigor of the strokes, the rhythmic ups and downs of lifting and pressing, and the gentle sense of elasticity. The pen is mainly round and the edge is hidden. The starting and closing of the brush are even and steady, whether it is light or heavy, fast or slow, and the lifting and pressing are appropriate. Calm and unhurried, with a calm demeanor and strong bones.
The whole post looks graceful and elegant, round and charming. It may be in regular or regular script, or it may flow and stop, or it may stop and flow. No stroke is taken lightly, and no word fails to express the smoothness and beauty of the intention. .
The structure of "Quick Snow and Clear Tie" is mainly square, stable and well-proportioned, and the running script has a regular script style, which is very changeable and full of brisk rhythm. In the post, "Xizhi Dunshou" begins with running cursive, and "Shanyin Zhanghou" ends with running regular script. The form is graceful and rich in layers.
"Xi Zhi paused", these four characters are relaxed, elegant and peaceful, they can be written in a cursory way, broken or connected, and the meaning of the writing is consistent. "The snow will soon clear up and the sky will clear up," the words are independent, the pen is round and the ink is smooth, between regular script and regular script, it is lively but not stagnant, and its power penetrates the back of the paper. The word "kuai" has an echoing relationship between the two parts facing each other. The right shoulder of "夬" is slightly high, and the last stroke is right, which harmonizes the tilted posture. The character "雪" has a similar situation. The upper part is tilted to the left, and the last horizontal stroke has a downward-rightward stroke, so the center of gravity of the entire character is also adjusted.
