Classic story of calligraphy

What calligraphy stories does Wang Xizhi have?

Wang Xizhi was a great calligrapher in China 1600 years ago in the Jin Dynasty, and was known as the "sage of calligraphy". There is an Amochi in Zhu Jie Temple on Shaoxing West Street, which is said to be the place where Wang Xizhi washes his pen.

Wang Xizhi practiced calligraphy at the age of 7, and was diligent and eager to learn. /kloc-at the age of 0/7, he stole his father's previous calligraphy works and read them. When he is mature, he practices writing. He sat by the pool every day practicing calligraphy, seeing off the dusk and welcoming the dawn. He finished writing more or less ink, more or less rotten pens, and washed pens in the pool water every day. It took a long time for a pool of water to become ink. This is the legendary Mo Chi that people see in Shaoxing today.

Wang Xizhi concentrated on practicing calligraphy and forgot to eat and sleep. When he was eating and walking, he was thinking about the structure of words and kept doodling on his body with his hands. Over time, his skirt was worn out and everything paid off. Once, he wrote a plaque for someone, wrote a few words on the board and sent it to lettering. The sculptor found that the ink stains of the characters had penetrated into the board for about three minutes. Therefore, people often use the idiom "incisive" to describe the strong brushwork of calligraphy, and later use it to describe the profound views and discussions on things.

When Wang Xizhi 13 years old, he happened to find that his father had a calligraphy book of Shuo, and he stole it. His father worried that he was too young to keep the secret of the family heirloom and promised that he would teach when he grew up. Unexpectedly, Wang Xizhi knelt down and asked his father to allow him to study now. His father was very moved and finally agreed to his request.

Wang Xizhi practiced calligraphy very hard, even eating and walking, and he really kept practicing. Without pen and paper, he scratched on his body, and over time, his clothes were cut. Sometimes I practice my handwriting to the point of forgetfulness. Once, he forgot to eat when he practiced calligraphy, and his family sent the meal to the study. He didn't think about it, so he dipped the steamed bread in ink and ate it. It still felt delicious. It was already dark when the family found out.

Wang Xizhi often writes in the pool, so he washes the inkstone in the pool. After a long time, he ran out of ink, so he was called "Mo Chi". At present, Lanting in Shaoxing, Xigu Mountain in Yongjia, Zhejiang, Guizong Temple in Lushan and other places have places of interest known as "Mo Chi".

The story of the famous calligrapher in ancient China

First, the official script created by Cheng Miao (Qin)

According to legend, a man named Cheng Miao created official script in Qin Dynasty. Cheng Miao started as a small official in a county and was responsible for copying relevant documents.

Later, because he committed a crime, he was put into the prison of Yunyang County (now northwest of Chunhua County, Shaanxi Province) by Qin Shihuang. In prison, there is nothing to do all day He remembered that when copying documents in the past, the characters in the Qin Dynasty were complicated and difficult to write, so he had the idea of changing the writing method of Xiao Zhuan characters.

I thought about it in prison for several years, and then collected and studied it for several years after I got out of prison. Ten years have passed. On the basis of seal script, Cheng Miao simplified the evolution of seal script, changed the original round strokes of seal script into square folds, and changed the original pictographic structure like painting into strokes, so that Chinese characters can be written better than before.

After Cheng Miao's successful research, he wrote down 3,000 official script words that he collected and studied successfully in 10 and gave them to Qin Shihuang. After Qin Shihuang saw it, he appreciated Cheng Miao very much and appointed him as the suggestion.

At that time, there were many official documents submitted to the emperor, and it was difficult to write seal script, so the number of people using official script increased. Because this font is mostly used by low-ranking officials and is convenient to write, it is called official script.

Second, Xiao He's Deep Thinking (Western Han Dynasty)

Xiao He, Minister of the Western Han Dynasty, helped Liu Bang to establish the Han Dynasty. Because of his merits, Liu Bang made him a commendatory minister, and later promoted him to be the prime minister. Xiao He's handwriting is very good, especially good at writing on the plaque with a bald pen. Once, Xiao He was asked to write a temple name for a newly-built palace. After three months of hard thinking, Xiao He began to write.

On the day of writing, some people heard that it took Xiao He three months to finish it, and they all came from far away to read it. See Xiao He, like going out to war, the change of the wrist seems to be in command hordes. The words written seem to be the civil servants and military commanders led by him, and the words are meticulous and imposing. All the people present were deeply moved by his wonderful pen and ink.

Third, the "flat bed" (gold)

Wang Xizhi was a famous calligrapher in ancient China. He is recognized as a "calligrapher" because of his high artistic attainments in calligraphy. His Preface to Lanting Collection is still loved by calligraphy lovers. Wang Xizhi is the story of "sleeping with an open stomach". Chi Jian, an official of the Jin Dynasty, sent guests to the home of Prime Minister Wang Dao to choose a son-in-law, and Wang Dao led the guests to "go to the East Room to look after the children".

The janitor came back and said to Chi Jian, "The young people in the Wangs are all nice, but when they heard that there was a son-in-law candidate, they became stiff. Only one person ate openly in the east bed, as if nothing had happened. " Chi Jian said, "This is a good son-in-law." So I married my daughter to him. This son-in-law is Wang Xizhi. This is the story that "an enlightened woman" represents choosing a husband.

Fourth, night couplets (gold)

One year on New Year's Day, Wang Xizhi posted couplets three times in a row, and those who loved his words stole them. On New Year's Eve, I had to write another letter. He was afraid of being exposed again, so he cut it up and down and put it in half first. The first part is "double happiness" and the second part is "double misfortune". In this way, it really worked. When people saw that what he wrote was unlucky and not rich, they stopped revealing it.

At the beginning of the new year, Wang Xizhi posted half a sentence each, and the couplet became: "Happiness never ends today, but it never rains but it pours last night." Passers-by clapped their hands and sighed.

Verb (short for verb) Learn calligraphy (Tang)

Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, was an emperor in China's feudal society. When dealing with political affairs, he often devotes himself to practicing calligraphy in his spare time. At that time, Yu Shinan, known as one of the four great calligraphers in the early Tang Dynasty, worked in the palace. Because he is proficient in ancient and modern times, his words are like gods, so Emperor Taizong has always respected him and often copied and studied Yu Shinan's calligraphy.

In the process of practicing calligraphy, Emperor Taizong deeply felt that the word "ge" in Shinan font was the most difficult to write, and it was not easy to write its spirit. On one occasion, he practiced "Yan" for fear that his writing would be bad and disgraceful, lest ministers read its jokes and deliberately leave the word "Ge" blank and privately ask Yu Shinan to make it up.

In order to show his progress in calligraphy, Emperor Taizong invited Wei Zhi, an admonition officer, to watch some works and asked Wei Zhi's opinion: "Do you think my handwriting looks like that of Yu Shinan, a bachelor?" Wei Zhi looked at it respectfully and carefully, and kept silent with a smile. At this time, Emperor Taizong asked him anxiously: "Is it like it? Why not talk? "

Wei Zhi immediately said, "I dare not comment on your handwriting." Emperor Taizong said, "You can speak frankly. I forgive your innocence. " At this time, Wei said, "According to the minister, only the' Ge' in the right half of the word' Yan' is basically the same as what Yu wrote, and the rest are quite different."

Hearing these words, Emperor Taizong sighed deeply and admired Wei Zhi's eyesight, thus realizing that learning calligraphy can't be fake at all. You must work hard if you want to succeed.

1, Wang Cizhong weak crown made "eight-point book"

Wang Cizhong, a native of Shanggu (now southeast of Huailai County, Hebei Province), was a calligrapher of the Qin Dynasty. When he was a child, he was smart, ambitious, well-read and good at independent thinking. When he was in his teens, his knowledge had reached a mature stage. At that time, Qin Zhuan was widely used. His structure was slender and his strokes were evenly spaced.

This font is very complicated and difficult to write. Needless to say, it is used by the people. Only government officials bemoan the mountain of official documents and slow approval. Wang Ci-zhong, who is near the weak crown, knows the necessity of writing reform, and widely collects all kinds of Zhong Ding utensils and imperial writing and imitates them.

Arranged together according to the same characters and different shapes, and then compared with each other, they spent hundreds of sleepless nights and finally created a set of twists and turns, divided into about eight books.

Wang Cizhong typed these words in the imperial court. After Qin Shihuang saw them, he thought they were "simple and convenient in case of emergency" and agreed very much. He called Wang Cizhong to Xianyang, the capital, to be an official and write rules.

However, Wang Cizhong's lofty attitude and refusal of imperial edicts angered Qin Shihuang. Qin Shihuang thought he didn't respect himself and sent people to Beijing by prison car. Wang Cizhong knew that if he didn't obey orders, his life would be in danger, so he took the jailer unprepared and threw himself into the river. However, stereotyped writing written by Wang Cizhong is very popular, benefiting future generations.

2. Cheng Miao made an official script in prison.

Official script, also known as Zuo Shu and history books, is a new style of writing that appeared at the end of Qin Dynasty, which can help writers reach a speed that seal script can't. Its font is square, its lines are straight and its thickness is good, which breaks the tradition of six scripts and lays the foundation of regular script, marking a turning point in the history of Chinese character development. According to legend, the author of Lishu is Cheng Miao, a native of Xiadu (now southwest of Xi, Shaanxi) in Qin Dynasty.

Cheng Miao, Yu Yuancen, first worked as a jailer in a county government, then offended Qin Shihuang and was imprisoned in Yunyang (now northwest of Chunhua, Shaanxi). At that time, due to centralization and numerous documents, many military emergencies were often delayed because it was difficult to seal the word quickly. Cheng Miao knows that this is a top priority.

In his early years, he vowed to devote his life to the reform of writing, so although he was in prison, he still insisted on learning the calligraphy of Da Xiaozhuan. He wrote hundreds of words in different fonts, and then chose the most satisfactory one. After ten years of painstaking research, he finally simplified the big seal script and created more than 3,000 beautiful and practical official scripts.

3. Stone sells words for wine.

The Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD) lasted for 426 years, which was a crucial period in the history of China's calligraphy development from constant changes to stereotypes. By the end of Han Dynasty, China's calligraphy was basically completed.

Lishu is a widely used calligraphy style in Han Dynasty. Also known as Zishu or Bashu, the brushwork is becoming more and more sophisticated and the styles are diverse. By the Eastern Han Dynasty, Lishu had entered the stage of mature calligraphy style and various schools, and famous artists came forth in large numbers.

Although the Lingdi of the Eastern Han Dynasty was incompetent, he loved calligraphy. He once recruited people who were good at calligraphy from all over the world to gather in Hongdumen, and there were about several hundred people. After carefully reading everyone's works, Emperor Lingdi of the Eastern Han Dynasty found that among these people, Nanyang stone spread its wings like a kite, with great grace, and his eight-part calligraphy was the best.

Large, the diameter of a word can be one foot long; Small, on an inch square bamboo slip, you can write a thousand words. Emperor Han Ling was overjoyed and sent someone to call the stone into the palace. At this point, Shi was drunk in the hotel, unaware of it.

After drinking enough, the store came to ask for the money. Arrogant, he took out his pen and waved a book on the hotel wall for sale, which attracted many people to watch. Shi's condition is simple: if you sell him wine, he will sell more to the store; Or shovel the words on the wall. There was enough money for drinks, but when Emperor Han Ling heard about it, he gave up the idea of asking him to be an official.

4, concentrate on learning ink as a meal.

When Wang Xizhi was about five or six years old, he studied calligraphy with Mrs. Wei. His calligraphy has made rapid progress. At the age of seven, he was famous in the local area for his writing, which was very popular and praised by his predecessors. He got up every morning and practiced writing in the dark according to the method described in Pen Shuo, which was simply fascinating.

After a while, I looked at my handwriting. Compared with my previous handwriting, there are some changes. One day, his teacher, Mrs. Wei, was taken aback and said, "The child must have seen the secret of calligraphy. I found that his calligraphy has reached the level of an adult recently. If this continues, this child's future achievements in calligraphy will definitely drown my reputation. "

Wang Xizhi was not complacent because of the teacher's praise. He worked harder and harder, even forgetting to eat and sleep.

Once at lunch, bookish, he brought his favorite garlic paste and steamed bread and urged him to eat it quickly several times. He still didn't even look up, as if he didn't hear, and he was absorbed in reading posts and writing. The meal was cold and the book was very angry, so I had to ask Wang Xizhi's mother to persuade him to eat it. When her mother came to the study, she saw Xihe holding a steamed bread stained with ink and sending it to her mouth.

His mouth is black. It turned out that when Xi Zhi was eating steamed stuffed buns, he was still looking at the words and thinking about how to write them in his mind. As a result, he mistook the ink for mashed garlic. Mother couldn't help laughing when she saw this. Wang Xizhi still doesn't know what's going on!

Hearing his mother's laughter, he also said, "today's mashed garlic is really fragrant!" " Wang Xizhi persisted for decades, studied hard, kept posting, and practiced very solid kung fu, which laid the foundation and paved the way for his future development.

5. Wang Xizhi and Swan Jiaozi.

Wang Xizhi loved to practice calligraphy since he was a child. When he was seven years old, he studied calligraphy from the calligrapher Mrs. Wei. He concentrated on his efforts and made progress day by day. In less than three years, the pen is heavy and the posture is frustrated. He won the first prize in the calligraphy competition held by Langya Taishou, which shocked the famous calligraphers in Fiona Fang Baili. At that time, it was praised constantly, and it was just over 10.

One day, Wang Xizhi passed by a Hu and saw a noisy restaurant door. Especially the couplets on the door are particularly eye-catching. It says: delicious, famous, handsome, everyone loves it.

The horizontal plaque reads "Swan Jiaozi", but the words are lifeless, lack of kung fu and plain.

After reading it, Wang Xizhi curled his lips and thought, this kind of word that lacks kung fu can only be used in front of this humble alley shop to make a fool of himself! But he also thought: delicious, famous and handsome, everyone loves it. What's so surprising about jiaozi? Whose shop is this in jiaozi? How dare you be so arrogant!

When Wang Xizhi walked into the shop, he saw four large iron pots filled with boiling water and placed them under a screen. The wrapped jiaozi flew over the screen like white birds, and landed in the boiling pot impartially. The guys in the jiaozi store are busy greeting the diners. Each young man is in charge of a pot and reported the number: a pot is half a catty, okay, then.

Curious, Wang Xizhi conveniently took out a few coppers, asked for half a catty of jiaozi, and then sat down. Jiaozi soon served on the table. He watched carefully, and the jiaozi here is really different, exquisite and delicate, like a white swan frolicking in the water and a piece of Xiang Tiange, which is really wonderful.

He picked up a jiaozi with chopsticks, gently took a bite and sent it to his mouth. Ah, delicious, delicious. Unconsciously, he swallowed all jiaozi. It's really a long aftertaste after a full meal.

Wang Xizhi couldn't help saying to himself, "This swan jiaozi really deserves its reputation." He thought to himself, "It's just that the couplets at the door are so badly written that they really don't match this jiaozi. Why don't I, Wang Xizhi, take this opportunity to write another couplet for the restaurant, which is worthy of this delicious food? " Thinking of this, he asked the man, "Where is the shopkeeper?"

The clerk pointed to the screen and said, "Hui Xianggong, the shopkeeper is behind the screen."

Wang Xizhi bypassed the screen and saw a white-haired old woman sitting in front of the chopping board. While rolling the dough, she wrapped jiaozi, filled it with stuffing, squeezed it quickly, and skillfully turned into a white swan in an instant.

To his surprise, after jiaozi wrapped it, the white-haired old woman threw jiaozi at the screen. Swan jiaozi flew over the screen one by one and landed in the pot. Every two or five, according to that person's report, how much is put in each pot is exactly the same.

Wang Xizhi was amazed by the superb skills of the white-haired old woman. He quickly stepped forward and asked, "Old man, how long does it take to practice kung fu like you?" The white-haired woman replied, "To tell you the truth, it takes forty years to master it and a lifetime to practice it deeply."

After listening to this, Wang Xizhi couldn't help thinking, savoring the taste of this sentence carefully, and then asked, "Your craftsmanship is so superb, why don't you ask someone to write better at the door?" Not with this swan jiaozi! "

Wang Xizhi didn't ask how she was, but when she asked, the white-haired old woman became angry. She said angrily, "xianggong" doesn't know. It's not that I'm too old to invite, but it's not easy to invite! Take Wang Xizhi, who just appeared, for example. He was praised!

To tell the truth, the little effort he put into writing is really not as deep as I threw jiaozi. Don't learn from him, as the saying goes: there is no limit to learning, and strive for the upper reaches with diligence. You will be proud before rowing once, and eventually you will fall behind. "

The words of the white-haired old woman made Wang Xizhi blush and feel ashamed. He respectfully wrote a couplet to the old woman. Since then, this swan jiaozi shop has hung up the couplets written by Wang Xizhi, and its business is getting more and more prosperous.

This incident also changed Wang Xizhi's life and made him attached to geese all his life. He practiced calligraphy more humbly and assiduously, learned from others, studied styles, brought forth new ideas, created a vigorous and changeable new style, became famous all over the world and became a famous calligrapher in the history of China.

Once when Wang Xizhi went out to play, he saw a group of beautiful white geese and wanted to buy them. After asking, he learned that these geese were raised by a nearby Taoist, so he found the Taoist and wanted to discuss buying them with him.

When the Taoist priest heard that the famous Wang Xizhi wanted to buy it, he said that as long as Wang Youjun could help me copy a copy of Huang Tingjing, he would give him some geese.

Wang Xizhi readily agreed, which turned the book into a white goose.

The strong stimulation of wine can glow the true nature hidden in people's hearts, and the so-called "telling the truth after drinking" is exactly the case. Some literary and art workers are proud of their talents, and they are even crazier after drinking and behave abnormally. So people call them "crazy people" and they are instantly vivid. But he is not good at drinking, pretending to be crazy and selling stupidity, addicted to drinking and scolding, painting after drinking, and often destroying and cracking. "Rich people want to paint, but they are reviled." People call him crazy, but his name is not understood.

Artists pursue truth, goodness and beauty, and the pursuit after drinking is more intense and unscrupulous, or they despise powerful people or denounce snobs. And the list goes on. After Li Bai's ninth birthday, he dared to let the hot Yang and Gao Lishi sharpen their motuo boots. Such a slave despises the arrogance and affability of powerful people! Cute! Respectable! Kai Liang in the Southern Song Dynasty was even wilder. Liang Kai was a figure painter in the Southern Song Dynasty. He is a heavy drinker and usually entertains himself. "When he was drunk, he was soaked through again." His behavior is wild, and he got the nickname of Liang Crazy. Painting Treasures records that when he was in Song Ningzong, he was waiting for a letter from the Academy. The emperor gave him a gold belt, but he didn't accept it. He hung it in the yard with the emperor's reward. In feudal society, what the emperor gave must be preserved and enshrined respectfully. Kai Liang's action is what most people dare not do and don't understand. In the Ming Dynasty, Gui Zhuang (16 13- 1673) could write cursive script and was good at drawing ink bamboo. After the death of Ming Dynasty, he refused to be with Qing * * *, and often drank wine to drown his sorrows, and lamented after drinking, but no one watched. Gui Zhuang is as famous as Gu, a great thinker at that time, and is known as "returning to the strange and keeping the strange". Wei Wu, a court painter in the Ming Dynasty, went in and out of the court, but looked down on the powerful. Eunuchs at that time had great power. The autocratic behavior of eunuchs endangering the country is despised by people, while some people are awed by their arrogance and bow to their knees. Tachileik is what he seems, and his love and hate are clear. The attendants wanted to paint, but they never got one. There are also some people who ask Wei Wu to paint. If they are impolite, he will never write. Only when you are drunk will you automatically wipe the paper clean, throw it on the ground after painting and let others take it away.

Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, was an emperor in China's feudal society. When dealing with political affairs, he often devotes himself to practicing calligraphy in his spare time. At that time, Yu Shinan, known as one of the four great calligraphers in the early Tang Dynasty, worked in the palace. Because he is proficient in ancient and modern times, his words are like gods, so Emperor Taizong has always respected him and often copied and studied Yu Shinan's calligraphy.

In the process of practicing calligraphy, Emperor Taizong deeply felt that the word "ge" in Shinan font was the most difficult to write, and it was not easy to write its spirit. On one occasion, he practiced "Yan" for fear that his writing would be bad and disgraceful, lest ministers read its jokes and deliberately leave the word "Ge" blank and privately ask Yu Shinan to make it up.

In order to show his progress in calligraphy, Emperor Taizong invited Wei Zhi, an admonition officer, to watch some works and asked Wei Zhi's opinion: "Do you think my handwriting looks like that of Yu Shinan, a bachelor?" Wei Zhi looked at it respectfully and carefully, and kept silent with a smile. At this time, Emperor Taizong asked him anxiously: "Is it like it? Why not talk? " Wei Zhi quickly said, "I dare not comment on your handwriting." Emperor Taizong said, "You can speak frankly. I forgive your innocence. " At this time, Wei said, "According to the minister, only the word" Ge "in the right half of the word" Yan "is roughly the same as that written by Yu, and the rest are quite different." Hearing these words, Emperor Taizong sighed deeply and admired Wei Zhi's eyesight, thus realizing that learning calligraphy can't be fake at all. If you want to learn something, you must work hard.

Zhiyong Zen master, born in Sui and Tang Dynasties, is the seventh grandson of Wang Xizhi. Because he practiced calligraphy very hard, all the broken brushes were discarded in the bamboo basket. After years of life, he accumulated five baskets, so he wrote an inscription and buried these pens, which is called the pen grave. It can be seen that he loves books and treasures things.
