But contemporary people are no matter how can not catch up with Wang Xizhi, let alone surpass, needless to say Wang Xizhi, that is, the Qing Dynasty's third-rate masters make modern people unattainable, of course, this is not to belittle modern people, this is a reality of a trend, ancient calligraphy is first of all a life needs, copying documents, exams, writing homework are all with calligraphy, this is a big environment, ancient people wrote calligraphy is not to be famous, to make money, is a kind of cultivation, a state of mind expression, modern people in this neon world is difficult to have this state of mind, not to mention transcendence.

1: Diligence Story:

Wang Xizhi has loved writing since he was a child. It is said that when I usually walk, I also practice calligraphy with my fingers at any time, and after a long time, I even have clothes.

Scratched. After diligent study and hard practice, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy has become more and more proficient.

Name. Since Wang Xizhi was 7 years old, he has been getting up early and practicing calligraphy greedily all day long. When he was 11 years old, he wanted to go to his father's room to find a braille to continue practicing calligraphy, and found that there were a few books next to his father's pillow, so he picked up the top one and looked at it, which was a book called "Pen Theory", which taught people how to move the pen when writing.

When Wang Xiyi opened the book, he couldn't help but begin to record the skills of holding and moving the pen, and he couldn't put it down so much that he unconsciously took the book out of his father's room to read. According to the method mentioned in the "Theory of Writing", he got up early every day to write in the dark, and practiced, and he was simply fascinated.

Once at lunch, the scholar brought his favorite garlic paste and steamed buns, and urged him to eat them quickly, but he didn't even raise his head to look at them, and concentrated on practicing calligraphy while reading the calligraphy. The boy eventually had to go and ask his mother to persuade him to eat. When his mother came to the study, she saw Xi Zhi holding an ink-stained bun in her hand and sending it to her mouth, making her mouth black.

It is precisely this kind of practice that has been practicing calligraphy for decades that Wang Xizhi has become a generation of calligraphers.

There is a very outstanding calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, his name is Wang Xizhi, when he was young, he liked calligraphy very much, every day he would write a lot of special words, because he insisted on practicing, so he made very fast progress, he used up a lot of ink, wrote a lot of pen heads, every day after practicing in the pool in the pen wash, the days are long, even a pool of water is washed black, once he concentrated on writing in the study, actually forgot to eat, Pengzhou his mother had to let the scholar send him the meal, There are steamed buns in the rice, and Wang Lian feasts on Xizhi's favorite garlic, when his mother came to see Wang Xi, he smiled and leaned back and back, it turned out that Wang Xizhi dipped the ink as garlic and dipped it in the steamed buns, he didn't even notice it, and his mouth was black, when he heard his mother laugh, he found that he had eaten the ink as garlic. It is precisely because Wang Xizhi studied calligraphy, focused, hardworking, and serious that he became the most outstanding calligrapher in Chinese history.

Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is peaceful and natural, the gesture is euphemistic and subtle, just like a handful of wild geese, and like a dragon flying in the sky, look at Wang Xizhi's calligraphy has a light cloud covering the moon, the feeling of flowing wind and snow, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is the most obvious feature of the structure is changeable, cursive and line of calligraphy was originally people in order to simplify the way of writing, in order to show their own casual evolution of the font, Wang Xizhi in this aspect of the font changes with a dripping exquisite, and then see his works when there is a happy feeling.

Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is inseparable from his Wang family, which is a master of calligraphy, and he first learned like his father Wang Kuang. He was studious, and he also stole the "Treatise on Writings", which his father regarded as a family heirloom, to study for himself. Later, he studied under Mrs. Wei, a famous female calligrapher at that time, and Wang Xizhi not only laid a solid foundation with Mrs. Wei, but also formed a charming style.

However, Wang Xizhi learned from Mrs. Wei that in addition to calligraphy, there is also a way of life outside the sky, and there are people outside the world. That's why Wang Xizhi is not satisfied with the status quo. With great ambitions, he visited places of interest and historic sites, and through observing the calligraphy seal carvings of the previous generation of famous calligraphers Li Si, Zhong Xuan, Zhang Zhi and others, Wang Xizhi learned from others and created a set of his own style.

Wang Xiyi changed the calligraphy of the Qin and Han dynasties to only pay attention to practical style, and he opened up a vast and majestic new world in the history of calligraphy on a historical level. Wang Xizhi saw the calligraphy of the Zhong family's flying birds, and he turned it straight into a curve, and the penmanship was resistant. After he learned Zhang Zhi's calligraphy, he changed it to a man dance, and then compromised.

Therefore, Wang Xizhi, who did not paint the gourd, integrated the strengths of his predecessors into his own grass, and created the most perfect posture when he was in trouble with Lu Dongjin with a different brushwork from his predecessors.

Wang Xizhi's calligraphy seems to be natural, and the structural changes and the transformation of penmanship are praised by later generations, although it has a unique ingenuity, but there is no pretentiousness. The written font is deep in muscles, rigid and soft, and the dots are concise and concise. In ancient times, Confucius advocated that being a man with good literary quality is the best, and Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is literary but not flashy, quality but not wild, and literary quality is just right.

Turn around to the left, tilt to the right, the meaning of the word is low on the left and high on the right. The skimming seems to be equal in weight, and it is extensible. However, due to the shift of the center of gravity to the "upper right", it will inevitably cause the short and long, the light and heavy, and the main stroke.

In this way, the word on the right side of the center of gravity can be supported, otherwise, the word will fall to the right and be weightless, and it is not easy to stand firm.

Opus. Wang Xi's best calligraphy in his life is the first to recommend the "Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface". It was his work in middle age.

There is a custom in the Eastern Jin Dynasty that on the third day of March of the lunar calendar every year, people must go to the river to play to eliminate the ominous, which is called "repair". On March 3 of the ninth year of Yonghe, Wang Xizhi and some literati, a total of forty-one, went to the river in Lanting to repair. Everyone drank and wrote poems at the same time.

After composing the poems, everyone collected the poems and synthesized a "Preface to the Lanting Collection", and recommended Wang Xizhi to write a preface. At this time, Wang Xizhi was already drunk, and he took advantage of the wine, picked up the mouse whisker pen, and waved the pen on the cocoon paper.
