I learned books from my uncle, and later from Mrs Wei, which showed me the famous calligrapher since the Han and Wei Dynasties, Zhang Zhi in cursive script, and Zhong You in formal writing. I am good at being a good official, careless, upright and upright, versatile, learning from others and preparing various styles. I got rid of the writing style of Han and Wei dynasties and became a family of my own. The brushwork is open and bright, and the structure is rigorous. Huang Tingjing and Le Yi Lun are the most important regular script. Preface to Lanting is the most important running script; The cursive script is "Sticking Clear Snow" and "Sticking at the First Eye". As a national treasure, Emperor Taizong called on the world to copy his calligraphy, and his calligraphy became authentic instead of Han and Wei brushwork. His calligraphy is known as "floating like a cloud, nimble as a dragon" and "iron calligraphy and silver hooks are the best in ancient and modern times", which was passed down from Buddhism as "the sage of calligraphy", and his running script Preface to Lanting was buried with Li Shimin. Now all the copies are handed down from generation to generation.
He believes that raising geese can not only cultivate sentiment, but also understand the truth of calligraphy from some gestures of geese. One morning, Wang Xizhi and his son Wang Xianzhi took a boat tour of Shaoxing. When they arrived near Xianshui Village, they saw a flock of white geese on the shore, staggering and dawdling. Wang Xizhi was fascinated by these white geese and wanted to buy them home. Wang Xizhi asked the Taoist priest nearby, hoping that the Taoist priest could sell him the goose. The Taoist priest said, "If the right army adults want it, please write a Taoist health book" Huang Ting Jing "for me! Wang Xizhi longed for geese and readily agreed to the conditions put forward by the Taoist priest. This is the story of "Wang Xizhi gave the White Goose Book".
At the age of twenty, A Qiu Chi Jian sent someone to Wang Dao's house to choose a son-in-law. At that time, people paid attention to family status, and the door was right. When Wang Dao's son and nephew heard that Qiu's family was coming to propose marriage, they all dressed up in disguise, hoping to be selected. Only Wang Xizhi, as if he didn't hear anything, was lying on the bamboo couch in the east, eating baked wheat cakes in one hand and painting clothes in the other. When people came back, they reported what they saw to Xi Taiwei. When he knew that there was a quiet Wang Xizhi leaning on the east couch, he couldn't help clapping his hands and cheering. This is the son-in-law I want! So Chi Jian married his daughter Xi Jun to Wang Xizhi. This story has become two allusions of "East Bed" and "Lingtan".
There are more idioms on him than that. It is said that on one occasion, he wrote his words on a board and gave them to a sculptor for carving. The man cut the board with a knife, only to find that his handwriting was printed two-thirds deep in the board. This is the origin of the idiom "cut to the chase".
Wang Xizhi's best calligraphy in his life is Preface to Lanting Collection. That was his work in middle age.
There is a custom in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Every year on March 3rd of the lunar calendar, people go to the river to play, so as to eliminate the ominous. This is called [repair]. On March 3rd, the 9th year of Yonghe, Wang Xizhi and some scholars, 4 1 * * *, went to the Lanting River to build a temple. Everyone is writing poems while drinking.
After the poem was written, everyone collected the poems and synthesized a preface to Lanting Collection, which was publicly recommended by Wang Xizhi. At this time, Wang Xizhi was drunk. He took advantage of the wine, picked up a moustache pen and waved it on the cocoon paper. This preface is the preface to the Lanting Collection, which became famous throughout the ages. This post is a draft with 28 lines and 324 words. Described the scene of the collection of literati at that time. Because the author was in high spirits and was very proud of his writing. It is said that I couldn't write anymore. Among them, there are more than twenty "zhi" characters, which are written in different ways. Mi Fei in Song Dynasty called it "the best running script in the world". According to legend, Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, collected the Preface to Lanting before his death and was buried in Zhaoling after his death. What's left is just a copy of others. What people see today is a Preface to Lanting. Wang Xizhi's calligraphy works are very rich. Besides Preface to Lanting Collection, there are other famous calligraphy works, such as Guan Nu Tie, Seventeen Tie, Two Xie Tie, Orange Tie, menstruation Tie, Quick Snow Clear Tie, Le Yi Lun, Huang Tingjing and so on. The main characteristics of his calligraphy are peaceful and natural, the brushwork is euphemistic and subtle, graceful and restrained, and later generations commented that "if you float in the clouds, you may be surprised by moss." Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is beautiful.
After the Han Dynasty, after more than 60 years of tripartite confrontation, it entered the Jin Dynasty. Calligraphy has reached another peak. The cursive writing method of official script is called official script, which decomposes the basic structure of official script and only keeps waves, which is mainly used to write the memorial, so it is also called Zhanghui. The representative calligraphers who wrote Cao Zhang are You Shi, Huang Xiang and Suo Jing. On the basis of Cao Zhang, this kind of grass appeared again. At the same time, regular script and running script appeared It can be said that in the Jin Dynasty, seal script, official script, cursive script, running script and regular script were all available.
Regular script and running script in Jin Dynasty achieved the greatest success and had the greatest influence on later generations. The representative calligraphers are Zhong You and Wang Xizhi. Zhong You (15 1-230) was born in Yingchuan Changshe (now east of Changge County, Henan Province). He was a teacher during the Cao Wei period. He is good at official script, regular script and various running scripts, especially regular script. His calligraphy was appraised as "the ancestor of regular script" in Xuanhe Pu Shu in Song Dynasty. His regular script inherited the legacy of official script in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is divided into eight parts, which are ingenious and dense, natural and quaint. He wrote "Crane's Solution to Watch", which is quite ambitious, and was praised by Liang Wudi's ZSZSZSZ as "swimming in the sea and dancing cranes in the sky". His regular script also has the brushwork of official script. His other works include The Manifestation, The Life Table of the Force, and The Reply.
Wang Xizhi (303-36 1, 32 1-379) was born in Linyi (now Linyi, Shandong) and later lived in Yin Shan (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang). Officials to the right army generals, both civil and military, deceased people called Wang Youjun, Wang Huiji. Wang Xizhi studied Zhong You in regular script, Zhang Zhi in cursive script, Li Si and Cai Yong, and learned from others. His calligraphy is known as "the dragon leaps into the sky, the tiger lies on the phoenix", which gives people a quiet beauty, just in contrast to Zhong You's books. His calligraphy is dignified, easy to turn into fun, and his pen is boring. He completely broke through the brushwork of official script and created a beautiful and convenient style of modern calligraphy, which was respected as a "book saint" by later generations. Wang Xizhi's original works are few, and all we see are replicas. Wang Xizhi is good at writing, running script, cursive script, flying white and so on. For example, the regular script Le Yi Lun, Huang Ting Jing, Seventeen cursive posts, menstruation post of running script, Qing post when it snows, funeral post, etc. His running script Preface to Lanting Collection is the most representative.
In the 9th year of Yonghe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (353), on the third day of the third lunar month, when Wang Xizhi and Xie An, Sun Chuo and other 4/kloc-0 people were in Lanting, Shaoxing (an activity to drive away diseases and ominous), everyone drank and wrote poems, which were included in the anthology, and Xi made an impromptu preface. This is the famous Preface to Lanting. This post is a draft with 28 lines and 324 words. Described the scene of the collection of literati at that time. Because the author was in high spirits and was very proud of his writing. It is said that I couldn't write anymore. Among them, there are more than twenty "zhi" characters, which are written in different ways. Mi Fei in Song Dynasty called it "the best running script in the world". According to legend, Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, collected the Preface to Lanting before his death and was buried in Zhaoling after his death. What's left is just a copy of others.
Wang Xizhi (303-36 1), whose real name is Shao Yi, was originally named Lian Zhai. The ancestral home of Lang Xie Jianyi (now Linyi, Shandong Province) moved to Huiji and lived in seclusion in Jinting County in his later years. Good at calligraphy, known as the "book saint"
Wang served as the secretary of General Ningyuan and the secretariat of Jiangzhou. Later, it was the literature and history of Huiji, and the right general was called "Wang Youjun". In March of the 11th year of Yonghe (355), he claimed to be ill and abandoned his official position, and moved to Jinting with his son Cao. Build a library, plant mulberry, teach children, write poems, and do calligraphy and painting entertainment. And with Xu Xun, Zhi Dun and other celebrities, all over the landscape.
Since Wang settled in Jinting, calligraphy has risen. His descendants are good at painting and calligraphy, and their works are hung all over the hall and study, so they are called "Huayuan Painting Hall". Later generations named the village "Huatang" and have been calling it so ever since. Wang Xizhi's remains are all over the county. Duxiu Mountain, west of Shengli West, is Wang Xizhi's reading place, and the plaque of "Old Tour Place of Right Army" is hung in guanyin temple on the mountain. The main temple in Taoyuan Township is built in the foothills, with Wang Youjun as the township owner. Xizhiping of Lushan Mountain in the north of Shengsheng, Yin Qing Temple in the east of Shengsheng, and Wanghanling at the junction of Shengsheng, etc. They are all places for Wang's recreation, and there are still traces to be found so far.
In the fifth year of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (36 1), Wang was buried in Jinting Waterfall Mountain (also known as Ziteng Mountain), and the home of the fifth Sun Heng was Jinting Temple, and the site still exists. During the reign of Liang Datong (535-546), the Right Army Temple in Chien Sun was built in front of the tomb, with a bookstore and Mo Chi beside it. Tang Peitong wrote Jin Guan Ting You Jinjun.
