Inscription poem:
A good book since ancient times, Zhong Zhang was one of the four sages in the Han and Wei Dynasties, two kings at the end of Jin Dynasty,
The ancients were unique, but today they can't be caught. The ancient quality is beautiful today, and the quality is prosperous.
Yan is different from the vulgar, and the book is suitable for remembering words and expressing meaning with words.
The book expresses feelings with pure feelings, thick feelings, fickle feelings and false feelings, and the true feelings remain unchanged.
Calligraphy is constantly changing, quality and style are changing, and it also changes with time.
We should keep up with the development of the European Monetary Union and bring forth the new. When times were bad in ancient times, we should express our feelings.
Different disadvantages today, keep pace with the times, be gentle and be a gentleman again.
Scholars in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, mutual tempering, Wang Xie family, further discussion
It's not all magical and salty. If it's gone forever, there will be fewer and fewer roads.
When you smell doubt, you will get the end of the line, and you will be blocked in ancient and modern times without being questioned;
Have a meeting, the secret is deep; Scholars are at a loss as to what to do and what to gain.
See its beauty, but don't understand why. Heart and hand will return, the same source and different current,
Transformation technique, the * * * tree is divided into strips. When the time is ripe, it is very important to run the script;
Problem, model first. Grass has no model at the same time, which is almost exclusive;
If you can't read grass, it's definitely not a letter. It is the shape and quality of stippling.
Turn into affection; Grass stippling is emotional and transformed into form.
Grass is good, it can't be turned into words; If you draw a picture, you can still remember the words.
Although different from each other, they are generally related. The love of grass is still flesh and blood.

Since ancient times, the husband has been good at writing, and the Han and Wei dynasties have a bell. At the end of the Jin dynasty, he was called the legendary man of two kings. Wang Xizhi said: "Looking for famous works, the clock is unsurpassed, and the rest are insufficient."
Interpretation: Since ancient times, Zhong You and Zhang Zhi are both good at calligraphy, and calligraphy is unparalleled. At the end of the Jin Dynasty, the two kings had exquisite calligraphy. Wang Xizhi said, "Let's compare all the famous calligraphy ink. Zhong and Zhang are really incomparable, and other calligraphy is not worth seeing. "
Zhong you? (15 1-230) Chang, a native of Yingzhou Changshe (Changge, Henan), was an official in the Three Kingdoms period, so he was also called "Zhong Taifu" and was an important minister of Cao Cao. When I was young, I studied calligraphy in Baodu Mountain, and later I studied calligraphy with Cao and Cai Yong (). I worked hard, stayed at home and pointed at the broken quilt. It is said that he saw Cai Yong's brushwork on Wei's birthday and was so angry that he vomited blood that he was saved by Cao's Wudu Pill. Later, Zhong sent someone to steal Wei's birthday tomb and got the book. His brushwork spread to more than a dozen people, including Mrs. Wei, Wang Xizhi, Wang Xianzhi and Yang Xin, and all of them became masters (according to other data, Wei died after the clock). According to legend, Zhong You's pen writing is not long: "I don't know if it is better to use a pen, so it is particularly well known to use the author's heaven (boundary) and beauty (ground)." "I studied for thirty years, but I didn't finish reading other methods, and then I learned to use a pen (Cai Yong). If you live with people and draw a wide range of steps, you will be drawn across the table and forget to go to the bathroom all day. Every time you see 10 thousand kinds, you will draw an image. The former sentence embodies the traditional thought of "harmony between man and nature", which means nature and kung fu in calligraphy. People can only achieve beauty by exerting their own strength, and nature refers to two aspects, one is human nature and the other is nature. There are only three ways to pursue "harmony between man and nature": one is "teacher's nature", that is, "I learn from my law"; The second is "the nature of the teacher", and the method of "forgetting me" adopts various methods to forget me; The third is to connect "sex" with "sex" and "heart" with "heaven". The last sentence is mainly about his hard work in practicing calligraphy.
Zhang zhi? When the Emperor was offered in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Dunhuang people moved to Huayin, Shaanxi Province with their father, and were good at Cao Zhang, which played an important role in turning Cao Zhang into today's grassland and was known as the "sage of grassland". Only lived in his thirties. His cursive script is coherent and staggered, so it is called calligraphy style. Its famous saying: I am in a hurry. His cursive scripts include the number one post, the year-round post, now I want to reply, the 28 th post, the autumn cool post and so on. He was not an official, and there are not many records in history.
It can be said that Zhong did not, but Xian inherited him. Another cloud said, "My book is like a clock, and the clock should resist or say. Still a wild goose, but Zhang is good at this, and the pool is full of ink. If you worry me, you may not thank it. " This is the meaning of clock push. Test its professional knowledge, although it failed in the previous rules, but it is not ashamed to do it.
Commentary: It can be said that after Zhong Zhang's death, Jude Wong came, and their father and son had the best calligraphy. Wang Xizhi added, "Compared with Zhong Zhang, my calligraphy can rival or even surpass that of Zhong Zhang.
? Compared with Zhang Zhi, they are equal. And Zhang Zhi's simplicity lies in his extreme efforts to dye the water black. If I want to be like him, I may not be worse than him. This is because Wang Xizhi thinks that Zhang Zhi is better than Zhong You, and his calligraphy level exceeds Zhong.
Looking at Wang Xizhi's specialty and superb playing style, although he has fully realized the norms of his predecessors, he can also learn from others. Therefore, he is worthy of calligraphy.
The commentator said: "The four sages of the former dynasty were unique, but now they can't catch up with the former dynasty, and the former dynasty is now beautiful." Husband's quality is based on generations, and beauty is different because of customs. Although the works about books are suitable for memorizing words, the quality of books has changed, the evolution of books has changed, and the Chang Ran of physics has also changed. It was different when I was naughty before. The so-called gentleness is a gentleman. Why is it easy to carve the palace on the spot, but it faces the jade?
Commentary: Critics say that their four wise men are the best since ancient times. But today's people are not as good as the ancients, whose calligraphy is simple, and today's calligraphy is gorgeous and beautiful. Simple style rises with different times; Yan Mei will also have different styles because of different secular preferences. Although writing is created to record language, the style of calligraphy will change from simple and honest to gorgeous and simple, from paying attention to practicality to pursuing beauty. So much for simplicity and literary talent. The law of the development of things is inheritance and development. Everything is the same.
The most valuable thing is that we can inherit the laws of the ancients without deviating from the trend of the times. We should pursue the current fashion without distinguishing it from the vulgarity of others. The so-called combination of literary talent and simplicity is a gentleman's demeanor. Why give up the magnificent palace carved with dragons and winds to live in caves where primitive people live, and give up the exquisite jade treasure car to take the original unicycle?
Commentary: From this passage, we can see that his artistic view is profound in today's Bo Gu. However, his book spectrum has arguments, regardless of evidence. Zhong, Zhang and Wang are all old friends of Sun. However, he did not list several famous artists in the early Tang Dynasty, which seems to have a contradictory mentality. In fact, his character is reflected here. He doesn't care about his peers. Only he can make the past serve the present.
There is another cloud: Amethyst is inferior to Shao Yi, and Shao Yi is inferior to Zhong Zhang. The Italian thought his discipline was evaluated, but he didn't explain his beginning and end. While Yuan Chang specializes in official script, Boying is good at cursive script, and the other is both beautiful and easy, and the grass is more true. Small and inferior, but better and consistent.
Commentary: Critics also said: Wang Xianzhi's calligraphy is not as good as Wang Xizhi's, just as Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is not as good as Zhong You's and Zhang Zhi's. Some people may think that this comment captures the crux of the problem, but it does not elaborate on the reasons.
Note: According to his viewpoint of valuing the present and belittling the ancient, it should be explained that the two kings (today) are better than Zhong Zhang (ancient), but each generation is worse ("judging their discipline"). Further suspense is raised here.
Note: Besides, Zhong You is good at regular script (official script in Tang Dynasty is the same as official script and regular script, and official script is called "Eight Points"), while Zhang Zhi is especially good at cursive script, but Wang Xizhi has both the beauty of calligraphy. Compared with cursive script, Wang Xizhi has more real books than Zhang Zhi. Better than regular script, Wang Xizhi is better than Zhong You's cursive script. Although Wang Xizhi's calligraphy may not be as good as Zhong and Zhang's in some writing style, Wang Xizhi's handwriting is still inappropriate, because he can learn many excellent things and synthesize the strengths of various schools.

The scholars in the Eastern Jin Dynasty hardened each other. The room belongs to Wang Xiejia, which is a blessing to Yu. Even if it is not magical, it is salty and has its own taste. If you go on forever, the road will be smaller. Fang doubts? Doubt, at the end of the line, ancient and modern occlusion, no question; Have a meeting, the secret is deep; Therefore, scholars are at a loss and don't know the main point. They only see the beauty of success and don't understand the reasons. Or it has been distributed for many years, which is far from the rules. If you really can't read the picture, you will be fascinated by learning grass. If you write a fine cursive script and preach the official law roughly, you will be good at drowning and obeying the rules. Believe that intimate hands will come back, if the same origin is different; The art of conversion is still an article? It is very important to write books by taking advantage of timely changes; The topic is really the first. Grass is neither true nor true, almost dedicated; I really don't understand grass, it's really awkward, and it's really based on stippling, which makes it very emotional; Grass takes stippling as its emotion and turns into shape. Grass is good, it can't be turned into words; It's really a loss to draw, but it's worth remembering. Although the answers are different, they are generally related.
Scholars in the Eastern Jin Dynasty all influenced each other. As for Wang, Xie, Zhi, Yu and other schools, their calligraphy level is not magical, but it also has a certain charm and elegance. However, the farther away from the Jin Dynasty, the more the calligraphy art declined. When future generations hear the book theory, they praise it blindly, even if they get some fur, they will practice it. Because of the isolation between ancient and modern times, it is difficult to ask questions anyway; ? Although some people know something, they often keep their mouths shut, leaving learners at a loss. They can't get to the point. They only see others succeed in taking beauty, but they don't understand the reasons for success. It took some people many years to master the structural distribution, but it is still far from the regulations. Copying regular script is difficult to understand, and practicing cursive script is chaotic. Even if you can have a superficial understanding of cursive brushwork and a rough understanding of the rules of regular script, you are often caught in roughness and deviate from the statutes. I don't know, the connection between heart and hand is like a tributary of every vein formed by homology; The turning technique is like a tree with several branches. Speaking of improvisation, running script is the most important; For the inscription on the list, regular script is the first choice There is no way to open a letter when writing cursive script, and it is easy to lose the normative statutes; It's hard to call a good book if you don't know everything about regular script. Regular script is composed of stippling, which expresses emotions with turning points; Cursive script reveals the spirit by stippling and forms the body by turning. If you don't use cursive script well, you can't write it; Regular script can still describe words if it lacks the effort of stippling. These two forms of calligraphy are different from each other, but their rules are roughly the same. Therefore, to learn calligraphy, we should bypass Da Zhuan and Xiao Zhuan, integrate into Han Li and learn from Cao Zhang. If you realize it, you are still far from it. ?
