brief introduction

Wang Xizhi

Wang Xizhi (303-36 1, 32 1-379), a calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was born in Linyi (now Shandong), Han nationality, and later moved to Huiji (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang). In his later years, he lived in seclusion in Shanxian County. Later, he was the secretariat of Huiji, who led the right general and was called "Wang Youjun" and "Wang Huiji". He was a great calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. His son, Wang Xianzhi, is also good at calligraphy, and the world is collectively known as the "two kings". Since then, the Wangs' calligraphy talents have come forth in large numbers. He died in the fifth year of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (36 1) and was buried in Jinting Waterfall Mountain (also known as Ziteng Mountain). The fifth house in Sun Heng is Jinting Temple, and the website still exists.

Wang Xizhi's representative works include: Huang Tingjing in Regular Script, On Le Yi, Seventeen Guas in Cursive Script, Gua for Aunt in Running Script, Gua for Quick Snow Clear, Gua for Funeral, Preface to Lanting Collection, Gua for the First Month, etc. Among them, Preface to Lanting Collection is highly praised by calligraphers of all ages and is known as "the best running script in the world". Wang Jian is good at following the laws of Li, Cao, Kai and Xing, carefully studying the shape, imitating the shape with his heart, learning from others' strengths, preparing everything in one furnace, getting rid of the style of writing in Han and Wei Dynasties, and becoming a family of his own, which has far-reaching influence. His calligraphy is peaceful and natural, and his brushwork is euphemistic and subtle, graceful and graceful. Later generations commented: "If you float in the clouds, you will be surprised if you are agile." Dragons leap into Tianmen, tigers lie in Fengge, "Nature is natural, and God is rich in the world", and they are praised as "book saints" by later generations.

Wang Xizhi seldom learned books from his uncle, and later from Mrs. Wei. He can see famous calligraphers since the Han and Wei Dynasties, Zhang Zhi in cursive script and Zhong You in orthography. His brushwork is open and handsome, and his structure is rigorous. As a national treasure, Emperor Taizong called on the world to copy his handwriting, and his calligraphy became an authentic style instead of Han and Wei brushwork. In the past, all kinds of inscriptions were engraved with seal script or official script, and Wang Xizhi's later calligraphy can also be engraved. It is said that Li Shimin was buried with his running script Preface to Lanting, which was handed down from generation to generation as a manuscript.

In the 9th year of Yonghe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (353), on the third day of the third lunar month, Wang Xizhi, Xie An, Sun Chuo and other 4/kloc-0 people were in Lanting, Shaoxing, drinking and composing poems, and improvising the Preface to Xi. This is the famous Preface to Lanting Collection. 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 called it "the best running script in the world" in Song Dynasty.

In March of the 11th year of Yonghe (355), Wang died of illness, 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), Sun Jianyou Temple was built in front of the tomb, and a bookstore and Mo Chi were built beside the temple. Tang Peitong is the author of Jin Ting Guan Jin Youjun Bookstore Mo Chi's Book. In the seventh year of the Great Cause of Sui Dynasty (6 1 1), Sun Zhiyong, a seven-monk, instructed his disciple Shang Gao (Shaomen of Yongxin Temple in Xing Wu) to go to the Jinting to pay homage to the grave, and wrote an exhibition on the Tomb of Waterfall Mountain to erect a monument in front of the grave. During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Tuguan erected a monument to the right of the tomb. In the fifteenth year of Hongzhi (1502), the stone tablet of "Wang Jin You Jun Tomb" was rebuilt, and it still exists today. In the winter of the 29th year of Qing Daoguang (1849), Wang's successor built the memorial archway of the right army in Jintingguan, which is still well preserved.

anecdote

Choose a husband in an oriental bed.

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".

Wang Xizhi writes with a pool of water.

When Wang Xizhi was young, he practiced calligraphy very hard. It is said that he practiced calligraphy with a broken brush and piled it into a hill, which people called "Pen Mountain". There is a small swimming pool next to his home. He often washes brushes and inkstones in this pool. Later, the water in the small pool turned black, so people called this small pool "Mo Chi".

Wang Xizhi writes about white geese.

Wang Xizhi was a great calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He was born in the gentry, and with his outstanding talent, all the ministers in the court recommended him to be an official. He is the secretariat and general of the right army (people also call him Wang Youjun). Wang Xizhi loved writing since he was a child. It is said that when I usually walk, I also practice writing with my fingers at any time. After a long time, even the clothes were cut. When I was an official, I practiced calligraphy and washed pens from the pool in the backyard. Over time, the pool was dark. After studying hard and practicing hard, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy became more and more famous. People at that time regarded his calligraphy as a treasure. It is said that once, Wang Xizhi went to a village. An old woman went to a charity sale with a basket of hexagonal bamboo fans. That kind of bamboo fan is very simple, without any decoration, which can't attract the interest of passers-by. It seems that it can't be sold, and the old woman is very anxious. Seeing this situation, Wang Xizhi felt sorry for the old woman, so he went up to her and said, "You can't sell this bamboo fan because there are no pictures or words on it." How about I write an inscription for you? " The old woman doesn't know Wang Xizhi. Seeing his enthusiasm, she wrote him a bamboo fan. Wang Xizhi took a pen, wrote five words on each fan and gave them back to the old woman. The old woman can't read, and she feels that his handwriting is scrawled, so she is very unhappy. Wang Xizhi comforted her and said, "Don't worry. You told the fan buyer that it was written by Wang Youjun. " As soon as Wang Xizhi left, the old woman did as he said. Collectors rushed to buy Wang Youjun's calligraphy after seeing it. A basket of bamboo fans soon sold out.

Many artists have their own hobbies, some love to grow flowers and some love to keep birds. But Wang Xizhi has his special hobbies. Wang Xizhi loves geese. He believes that raising geese can not only cultivate sentiment, but also understand the truth of calligraphy from some gestures of geese. Where there are good geese, he is interested in seeing them, or buying them to enjoy. There is a Taoist in Yinshan. He asked Wang Xizhi to write the Tao Te Ching for him. But he knew that Wang Xizhi would not copy scriptures for others easily. Later, he found that Wang Xizhi liked white geese, so he specially raised a number of geese with good varieties. One day, Wang Xizhi and his son Wang Xianzhi went to Shaoxing by boat. When they arrived at Xianshui Village, they saw a flock of white geese on the shore. Wang Xizhi was fascinated and asked if these geese were raised by Taoist priests. The geese in the river are floating leisurely, and the white feathers set off a high red top, which is really cute. Wang Xizhi watched by the river and was reluctant to leave, so he sent someone to find a Taoist priest and asked to sell him the goose. The Taoist priest said with a smile, "Since the princes love eating so much, they don't have to spend any money. I'll give you all these geese. But I have a request, that is, please write a volume of scriptures for me. " Wang Xizhi longed for the goose and readily agreed to the conditions put forward by the Taoist priest. He did not hesitate to copy a scroll of scriptures for the Taoist priest, and the white goose was taken back by Wang Xizhi.

Wang Xizhi taught his son to learn calligraphy.

Wang Xianzhi, the seventh son of Wang Xizhi, was smart and studious since childhood. He is good at cursive script and official script, and he is good at painting. He began to learn calligraphy at the age of seven or eight and studied under his father. On one occasion, Wang Xizhi saw that Xianzhi was practicing calligraphy attentively, so he quietly walked behind him and suddenly reached out to draw a brush in his hand. Xianzhi held the pen tightly and was not pulled out. The father was very happy and praised: "This son is going to be famous again." Xiaoxian was smug after hearing this. Another time, a friend of Xizhi asked Xian to write on a fan, and then he wrote with a brush. Suddenly, the pen fell on the fan and polluted the words. Xiaoxian had a brainwave and a calf came alive on the fan. In addition, people are full of praise for the calligraphy and painting provided, and the small quotation has cultivated pride. It was thoughtful of his parents to see this scene ... One day, Xiao Xianzhi asked his mother Xi, "I only need to write for another three years, right?" Mom shook her head. "Five years of head office?" Mother shook her head again. In desperation, he said to his mother, "How long do you think it will take?" "Remember, after writing this 18 jar of water in the yard, your handwriting will be strong and your bones will be full, and you will stand straight and steady." My father stood behind him when I turned around. Wang Xianzhi refused to accept it and said nothing. He gritted his teeth for five years and showed his father a lot of written words, hoping to hear a few words of praise. Who knows, Wang Xizhi shook his head one by one. When the word "big" was raised, my father showed a satisfied expression, filled in a dot casually under the word "big", and then returned all the manuscripts to the dedication. Xiaoxian was still not satisfied, so he showed all his calligraphy to his mother and said, "I practiced for another five years, completely according to my father's words." Look carefully, what's the difference between my dad and me? " Mother really looked at it carefully for three days, and finally pointed to the point added by Wang Xizhi under the word "big" and sighed and said, "My son has worn out three tanks of water, only a little like Xihe." After listening to this, he was very discouraged and said weakly, "It's difficult! If this continues, when will there be good results? " Seeing that his arrogance had disappeared, his mother encouraged him to say, "Son, as long as you work hard, there is no river you can't cross or mountain you can't climb. As long as you keep practicing as you have in recent years, you will certainly achieve your goal! " After listening to the dedication, I was deeply moved and kept practicing. Everything comes to him who waits. He used 18 buckets of water to practice calligraphy, and calligraphy made rapid progress. Later, Wang Xianzhi's writing reached the level of penetrating paper and perfection. His ci is juxtaposed with Wang Xizhi and is called "Two Kings".

Wang Xizhi's apprentice in Tiantai Mountain

Wang Xizhi came to Tiantai Mountain before Lanting was rebuilt, and was attracted by the magical and beautiful scenery of Tiantai Mountain, so he rebelled at home. He enjoyed the sunrise and the wonders of clouds, waves and fog, which polished his calligraphy. He kept practicing calligraphy, washing pens and inkstones, and even dyed a pool of crystal clear water black. This is the origin of Mo Chi's name. One night, Wang Xizhi practiced calligraphy under the lamp and practiced. He wrote one blank sheet after another and spread it all over the floor. Late at night, he looked and thought word for word. He is not satisfied with what he writes. He reads and practices. He was really tired of practicing, so he took a pen and fell on the table. Suddenly, a breeze blew and a white cloud floated by. On the cloud, an old man with a silver beard smiled at him and said, "Your handwriting is good!" " ""where, where! " Wang Xizhi offered to sit down and answered modestly. Seeing the old man carefully looking at his handwriting, he asked, "Lao Zhang, please correct me." The old man saw Wang Xizhi's sincerity and said, "Hold out your hand." Wang Xizhi doesn't know what the old man is going to do. Seeing that the old man was serious and didn't like joking, he slowly reached over. The old man took the pen and said with a smile, "I think you are sincere in learning to write, so that you can understand a pen formula, which will work in the future." The old man finished, wrote a word on Wang Xizhi's palm, then nodded and said, "You will make faster progress." Say and go. Wang Xizhi quickly shouted, "Where is your husband's home?" I only heard a faint voice in the air: "White clouds on the roof …" Wang Xizhi saw that the word "forever" was in his palm. He compared, rowed, wrote and practiced, and finally realized that the strokes and shelf structure of square characters are all embodied in the word "forever". Teacher Baiyun's teaching is really a good pen! From then on, Wang Xizhi practiced calligraphy harder, and his calligraphy was more free and easy, which was wonderful. Later, Wang Xizhi returned to Shaoxing, met with literary friends in Lanting, and wrote the calligraphy treasure "Preface to Lanting". Wang Xizhi never forgot the word "forever" written by Mr. Baiyun in Tiantai Mountain. He wrote a book "Yellow Seam Cave" in good faith and put it in an abrupt and steep cave on the top of the mountain, which was later called "Yellow Seam Cave". Today, some bold tourists have to climb the Huangjing Cave to see if Wang Xizhi's Huang Ting Jing is still hidden in the cave!

Eat dumplings

One day, Wang Xizhi passed by the market and saw a shop called Jiaozi. There is a lot of noise and excitement. In particular, the two couplets by the door are particularly eye-catching. On the horizontal plaque "Duck jiaozi Store", the words "Don't cross here, know the taste and come here often" are written. But the handwriting is dull and weak, lacking in kung fu. After reading it, Wang Xizhi thought: Is this word worthy of inscription on the plaque? Another thought: "If you can't pass this level, you will know the taste. Come often." -Boy! Who the hell is buying and selling here, boasting so much? Looking closely, I saw a cauldron with boiling water in it, which was located next to a low wall. Jiaozi wrapped in white flour, like white birds, flew over the wall one by one and landed in the boiling cauldron. When the pot is full, the bird will be grounded without saying hello. When this pot of jiaozi was cooked and fished out, the "birds" flew in a line again, exactly. Wang Xizhi was surprised, took out some scattered silver coins, asked for a big bowl of jiaozi and sat down. Only then did he discover that jiaozi was delicate and delicate, like a duck swimming in the water. This is an amazing product! He picked up jiaozi with chopsticks, slowly put it in his mouth and took a gentle bite. Suddenly, the smell was fragrant and delicious. Before I knew it, I swallowed the big bowl of jiaozi. After a hearty meal, Wang Xizhi said to himself, This duck jiaozi is really delicious! It's just that the handwriting of the couplet at the door is too poor to deserve this delicious jiaozi. Why don't I, Wang Xizhi, take this opportunity to write another couplet for them and live up to my visit here? Thinking of this, he asked the clerk, "Where is the shopkeeper?" The clerk pointed to the low wall and said, "Hui Xianggong, the shopkeeper is behind the wall." Wang Xizhi bypassed the low wall and saw a white-haired old woman sitting in front of the panel, rolling dumpling skins and wrapping dumpling stuffing alone. In the blink of an eye, the action is extremely fast. Stranger still, after the bag was finished, the white-haired old woman threw jiaozi at the low wall, and jiaozi the duck climbed over the wall one by one. Wang Xizhi was stunned by the old man's superb skills. He hurried forward and asked, "Old man, with your deep kung fu, how long will you have to practice?" The old man replied, "To tell you the truth, it takes fifty years to master it, and it takes a lifetime to master it." Hearing this, Wang Xizhi was silent for a while, as if he were savoring this sentence. Then he asked, "You are so skilled, why don't you ask someone to write a better one at the door?" The old man said very enthusiastically; ""xianggong "don't know, not the old woman don't want to please, but not please! Some people are only famous for their writing, but their eyes are upward, so they don't want to write for us ordinary people. In fact, in my opinion, their writing skills are not as deep as I throw jiaozi! " The old man's words don't necessarily refer to Wang Xizhi, but Wang Xizhi felt annoyed and ashamed when he heard it. Finally, he specially wrote a pair of couplets and respectfully gave them to the old man.

Wang Xizhi's tomb

Wang Xizhi died in the fifth year of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (36 1 year) and was buried in Jinting Waterfall Mountain (also known as Ziteng Mountain). According to "Historical Records", "Wang Youjun's tomb is five miles in Xiaojia Township, East County." Fifth, Sun Heng's house is Jintingguan, and the website still exists. During the reign of Liang Datong (535-546), Sun Jianyou Temple was built in front of the tomb, and a bookstore and Mo Chi were built beside the temple. Tang Peitong is the author of Jin Ting Guan Jin Youjun Bookstore Mo Chi's Book. In the seventh year of the Great Cause of Sui Dynasty (6 1 1), Sun Zhiyong, a seven-monk, instructed his disciple Shang Gao (shaman of Jinyong Temple in Huiji) to go to the Jinting to pay homage to the grave, and wrote the Tomb Exhibition of Waterfall Mountain to erect a monument in front of the grave. During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Tuguan erected a monument to the right of the tomb. In the fifteenth year of Hongzhi (1502), the stone tablet of "Wang Jin You Jun Tomb" was rebuilt, and it still exists today. In the winter of the 29th year of Qing Daoguang (1849), Wang's successor built the memorial archway of the right army in Jintingguan, which is still well preserved.

The tomb was rebuilt in 1984, facing south, with round stone tablets, neutral stone tablets, square stone pavilions and a single eaves resting on the top of the mountain. There are cypress shading, waterfalls hanging pools, surrounded by green mountains and green water flowing around, which is delicious. It is a provincial-level cultural relics protection unit.

On Wang Xizhi's Biography

The prosperity of book contracts originated in the Middle Ages is not impressive. The previous generation went to Park Guihua, where they were humble and eager to praise and compete for their own handiwork. Boying is wonderful in the pool, with no trace of recovery; Teachers have to register their accounts, and there are few relics. It's a bit difficult to catch Zhong and Wang. Although the clock is beautiful for a while, it is also unique. Perfect or doubtful. As for the thick cloth, there is nothing wrong with it. However, its style is ancient but not today, its words are too long and unconventional, and its language is big, which is a defect. Although it is my father's style, it is not a new coincidence. Look at its character, thin, like a dead tree in the middle of winter; Look at the trace of his pen. Is Yan's family hungry? Its dead trees, though crowded, do not bend and stretch; If he is hungry, he will be restrained from indulgence. Two-pronged approach, solid mo cold disease! Ziyun became famous for Jiang Biao recently, but he only got a book and didn't take it out on her husband. If you walk like a spring bug, every word is like an autumn snake, lying on paper and sitting under Yan Xu's pen; Although the bald rabbit is honest, there is no muscle in it; Skin in poor valleys can't collect bones. To spread beauty instead of abusing its name? The number of this child is exaggerated. Therefore, a detailed study of ancient and modern seal characters is perfect, but there are very few Wang Yi! Look at the dragged work, beautifully cut, the smoke is exposed, and it will be connected if it is broken; Phoenix, like a dragon, is inclined and straight. You don't feel tired when you play, and you don't know its ending when you watch it. The heart is chasing the hand, this person is just. The rest is like that, how can we talk about it!

Calligraphy strategy

When a husband wants to read a book, when he closes his eyes and turns his back when he hears it, he will never worry about concentration, his heart will be healthy and harmonious, and then he will be bound by mystery. If the heart is not right, the words will be crooked; If ambition is not harmonious, books will be subverted. Its Tao is the same as that of Confucius Temple, which is illusory, complete and correct. Righteousness and harmony are also called.

Generally speaking, the wrist is vertical and the front is straight. The front line is regular and full of potential in all aspects. The second truth means that the force is uniform. It works well when the palm is empty.

You have to pay, but it's tight and heavy.

For painting, you must be happy, expensive and late.

In order to get rid of it, it is necessary to plunder, which is expensive and dangerous.

Strive for vertical and fight bravely.

Hesitated, looking for GeBiRun everywhere.

Always turn around, because the ring will be depressed and your front will frown. I'll give you a 30% discount on Bobby.

The sides should not be flat.

Don't lie down with a pen, you must write first.

Straight is not desirable, straight will lose strength.

You must save your pen and get rid of this situation.

The policy must be withdrawn.

Sweeping the beard, saving the pen, is beneficial.

Peck your beard and lie down with a pen.

I want to work hard outside the pen. I am proud of Xu.

Be sharp, be angular, avoid roundness, and be more expensive than change.

The same is true of the word "year" combined with the insurance policy.

He le Chu le, the word "Shi" is also.

The word "earth" is also painted horizontally and used when it is covered.

We must solve three problems, the upper level, the middle level and the lower level, as well as the words "spring" and "main". All three paintings are used.

The word "household" was the same when we plundered together.

"Mouth" is the right side of the words "shape" and "shadow". You can't always do it, you must recite it.

"Ai" must be a twist of the upper jaw and a release of the lower jaw, not a double.

The word "many" is four-fold, one shrinks, two shrinks less, three shrinks, and four must come out. If you care about gravel skillfully, it will be ancient and far-reaching; If you care about frivolity, you will be thin and straightforward. Picking flowers, scraping, almost calligraphy. Without self-cultivation and teacher's instruction, many diseases will occur, and examiners will hang themselves in the dark.

In the book

Emperor Taizong once said to his courtiers, "Learning books is not an urgent task at first, but if you attach importance to it, you might as well abandon Japan. In all arts, people who haven't studied can't do it. The disease is that the heart is slack and can't concentrate on the ears. As a childe when I was young, I was frequently attacked by enemy lines. In the name of justice, it was rebellion from the beginning. There must be an order to hold a golden drum, and you can know the strength by looking at its array. We are weak to him, we are strong to him, and the enemy attacks him. He can't run more than a hundred paces. If I attack him, I will suddenly go through his array and hit him back, and there will be no big collapse. I think it's reasonable to win with this. Today, I am in the book of the ancients. I don't learn its environment, but I seek its strength and the environment is self-generated. " What I do, I think first, and I can only achieve it with fruit. "

meaning

The word "Fu" takes God as its essence. If God is not harmonious, the word has no attitude. Taking the heart as the bones and muscles, if the heart is not strong, then the words are not strong; Take auxiliary hair as skin. The auxiliary hair is not round and the words are not moist. It is beautiful to use it wholeheartedly. Today, your weight is light, your wrist is not as sharp as your blade, and your blade is not as sharp as your breath. Naturally, your wrist is light and weak, and your front is calm. Husband's heart is harmonious, qi and heart; God, the use of the heart; Heart, will be quiet. Yu Anji Yun: If my husband doesn't understand the meaning of the book and wants to copy down every bit of the picture, it will be self-defeating. Is this a book? If you put a book vertically, you can capture the truth through its shape, but you can't explain the meaning of the pen. This is an effect, it did not enter the room of Shi's Austrian school. Therefore, he learned roughly at first, but not carefully. Those who are too slow are stagnant without tendons, those who are too anxious are ill without bones, the lateral tubes are dull and fleshy, and the vertical front is dry and red. And its enlightenment, the heart and the hand are in the rules, the square is in the moment, thick and sharp, thin and strong, the big one is not redundant, the short one is not insufficient, and thinking and God are the same, I don't know why.

On Wang Xizhi's Classical Chinese

Xizhi, the king of broken books

original text

Wang Xizhi of Jin Dynasty was a man of few words and broad mind. A good book at the age of seven. At the age of twelve, I saw the previous generation of Bi Shuo at my father's bedside and secretly read it again. Father said, "Why did you steal my secret?" Xi smiled and didn't answer. Mother said:' I read "Using Calligraphy", but my father thought it was too small, so I'm afraid I can't keep it a secret. Semantically, I'll teach you when you are an adult. At the invitation of Xihe, use it today to make adults fear children's orders. Father was very happy, so he followed. If the month is not profitable, the book will make great progress. When Mrs. Wei saw it, she said,' This son must read the book "Using a Pen". If he sees his book recently, he will have wisdom in old age. Crying: "This child will hide my name." When the Jin emperor offered sacrifices to the northern suburbs, he even wished the edition and made a work cut. "

Wang Xizhi of Jin Dynasty, a few words, son of Wang Kuang. At the age of seven, he was good at calligraphy. At the age of twelve, he saw the ancient "Pen Shuo" under his father's pillow and stole it. Father asked, "Why did you steal my secret book?" Wang Xizhi just laughed and didn't answer. Mother said, "Look at the pen." Father thinks he is young and is afraid that he can't keep a secret. He said to Wang Xizhi, "I'll teach you when you grow up." Wang Xizhi sincerely asked his father, "Give it to me now. If you wait until adulthood, I am afraid that you will bury your childhood talents. " Father was very happy and gave it to him. In less than a month, calligraphy has made great progress. After reading it, Mrs Wei said to Wang Ce, the Taichang official, "Xizhi must have read Bi Shuo. I recently learned his calligraphy. " With tears streaming down her face, she said, "This child will definitely be more famous than me." During the Jin Dynasty, the imperial court held a sacrificial ceremony in the northern suburbs. When replacing the bamboo board, the worker cut off his words and infiltrated the board for three points.

In the ninth year of Yonghe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (353), on the third day of the third lunar month, 465,438+0 people, including Wang Xizhi, Xie An and Sun Chuo, drank wine and wrote poems in Lanting, Shaoxing, and made an impromptu Preface to Xi. This is the famous Preface to Lanting Collection. 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.

Preface to Lanting is also called Preface to Lanting, Preface to Lanting, Preface to He Lin, Preface to Zan and Zan Tie. It is one of the three major calligraphy posts and one of the top ten famous calligraphy posts handed down from ancient times in China. On March 3rd, the 9th year of Yonghe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 353), 41 people, including Wang Xizhi, Xie An and Sun Chuo, wrote Poems in Yinshan Lanting (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang). At the meeting, Wang Xizhi wrote a preface for their poems. The preface narrates the beauty of the landscape around Lanting and the joy of gathering, and expresses the author's feelings of impermanence of life and death. The book of law posts handed down from generation to generation, with 28 lines and 324 words, is perfect in composition, structure and brushwork, and is his masterpiece at the age of 33. Later generations commented that "the font of the right army has changed. Its heroic spirit is natural, so it is considered to be a model from ancient times to the present. " Therefore, calligraphers of all ages called Lanting "the best calligraphy in the world". "Dragon Book" is the most famous ink in the Tang Dynasty. It was named "Lanting Dragon Book" because it was printed with the name of Feng Chengsu during the reign of Emperor Taizong. This book is well written, and its brushwork, ink style, style and charm are all reflected. It is recognized as the best copy. Stone carving is the first to promote the "fixed object book" According to Guo Moruo's textual research, the second half of the Preface to Lanting handed down from ancient times has nothing in common with Wang Xizhi's thoughts, and the calligraphy style is also different from the epitaph of the Eastern Jin Dynasty unearthed in recent years, which is suspected to be wrongly entrusted by Sui and Tang Dynasties. But some people disagree. Preface to Lanting shows the highest realm of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy art, and the author's tolerance, phoenix spirit, mind and feelings are fully displayed in this work. The ancients said that Wang Xizhi's cursive script is like "the breeze comes out of the sleeve and the next month comes into my arms", which is a wonderful metaphor.

Wang Xizhi's wife, daughter, named Xuan, word ovary. Calligraphy is outstanding and unique, and it is called "writing spirits for girls".

The word "son-in-law" comes from the story of Chi Jian choosing a son-in-law.

The whereabouts of the world's first running script-Preface to Lanting Collection

Wang Xizhi regarded the Preface to the Lanting Pavilion as a family heirloom, which was handed down from generation to generation until the seventh generation of the Wangs used it. However, Zhiyong somehow became a monk in yunmen temple, Shaoxing. Naturally, there were no children behind him, so he passed on the original ancestral book to his disciple, monk Cai Bian. In the early Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin collected a large number of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy treasures and studied them frequently. He praised the original "Preface to the Lanting Pavilion" and paid a lot of money for many times, but nothing came of it. Later, it was discovered that the original work of Preface to Lanting was in the hands of a monk named Cai Bian in Yongji Yongxin Temple (present-day yunmen temple), which led to the legendary story that Emperor Taizong defrauded Preface to Lanting, and the original work was buried in Zhaoling with Emperor Taizong. This story adds a legendary and mysterious atmosphere to the Preface to Lanting.
