Brief introduction of Wang Xizhi's characters
Wang Xizhi was born in a calligraphy family. His uncles Wang Yi and Wang Dao; Cousins Wang Tian and Wang Qia were both famous calligraphers at that time. Wang Xizhi * * * 32 1-379, or 303-361* *, with few words, was originally from Linyi, Langya * * *, and now he belongs to Shandong * * *, and later moved to Yin Shan * * and Shaoxing, Zhejiang *.
At the age of seven, Wang Xizhi studied calligraphy with the female calligrapher Wei Shuo. Wang Xizhi had been copying Shu Wei until he was twelve years old. Although he is very good, he always feels dissatisfied. Because I often listen to the teacher's stories about calligraphers' diligent study and hard practice, I admire the calligraphy of Zhang Zhi, a "grass saint" in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and I am determined to use Zhang Zhi's "Linchi" story to motivate myself.
In order to practice calligraphy well, wherever he went, he always waded through mountains and rivers, explored ancient inscriptions and accumulated a lot of calligraphy materials. In his study, in the yard, at the gate and even outside the toilet, he has stools and pens, ink, paper and inkstones. Whenever he thinks of a well-structured word, he immediately writes it on paper. When he practiced calligraphy, he thought hard and even forgot to eat and sleep.
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 the goose 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 there was a quiet Wang Xizhi 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". * * * Dong Chuang son-in-law * * *
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, a total of 41 people, 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.
The life of Wang Xizhi
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 handwriting, and his calligraphy changed from Han and Wei brushwork to authenticity. 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.
Legend has it that Wang Xizhi once went to a pavilion with friends to drink and write poems for fun, and then he wrote Preface to Lanting. Although there are typos in it, which are not very neat and the words are of different sizes, the elegance and elegance of the words cannot be surpassed by future generations. It's a masterpiece, even Wang Xizhi himself is amazed and can't believe it. That's why Preface to Lanting is so famous.

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.
Wang Xizhi's family background
The Jinshi family moved south to the north, while the people moved south and merged in the south of the Yangtze River. The royal family of Langya spread to Wang Lan from 2006 to 278, and Wang Zheng spread to Wang Kuang from 274 to 328. The Eight Kings Rebellion occurred in the Jin Dynasty from 266 to 3 16. Wang Kuang was good at sizing up the situation, imitating his ancestor Wang Lan, and lived in the south for 30 years at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Wuhu invaded Shandong, and Langya was in danger. Since 299, the rulers have been divided and the north has been fighting.
In order to escape the war, Wang Kuang and his family settled in Wudi and Luoshe villages in the south of the Yangtze River for 300 years, and served as officials in the south of the Yangtze River. Ren Danyang is the prefect, and General Anton has been in the army for many years from 302 to 307. In 302 AD, when Wang Sima of Changsha killed Sima Tong, the king of Qi, in Shandong, Wang Kuang's family had fled to the south, moved to Shaoxing, and played in the court, suggesting that Jinshi move south.
In 303 AD, Wang Kuang's wife gave birth to her second son in Luoshe (now Luoshe Town, Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province) on July 11th, the second year of Tai 'an in the Western Jin Dynasty. Wang Kuang's younger brother Wang Xun became his nephew Wang Xizhi's first teacher. Wang Xun's all-rounder is known as "the first person to cross the river for painting and calligraphy".
