Reasons for the success of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy art 1 —— 2—

The reasons for success are: being good at learning from the strengths of calligraphers of past dynasties and creating their own calligraphy artistic style.

Wang Xizhi was born in a noble family in the Jin Dynasty. He loved calligraphy since he was a child, but he was indifferent to fame. He copied the copybooks of many calligraphers and made a detailed study of their calligraphy characteristics. He also specially studied the cursive script of Zhang Zhi, a calligrapher in the Han Dynasty, and gained a lot of experience.

Wang Xizhi is not only good at learning from the strengths of calligraphers of past dynasties, but also created his own artistic style of calligraphy through hard study. He painstakingly pondered the shelf structure, strokes and momentum of fonts, and wrote on clothes whenever he had time. Over time, I cut clothes. Later, I went to Yongjia to be an official and have been practicing calligraphy by the pool.

Every time I practice calligraphy, I wash inkstones and carry pens in the pond, turning all the water in the pond black. People call it "Mo Chi". In this way, he finally made brilliant achievements in calligraphy art.

Extended data:

Wang Xizhi began to learn calligraphy at the age of seven, and studied under Mrs. Wei and his uncle, both of whom were born in a calligraphy family. Later, he visited the exquisite works of the masters of seal script in Qin and Han dynasties, studied the body and imitated the hand, and merged them into one furnace to create a running script that was "natural and enriched the people" and was praised as "the sage of books" by later generations.

Professor Peking University and pioneer Li Zhimin commented: "Wang Xizhi's calligraphy not only shows simplicity and abstinence based on Laozi and Zhuangzi's philosophy, but also shows harmony based on Confucian golden mean." Calligraphy reached its peak in his later years, and Preface to Lanting was his masterpiece in his later years.

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. He is in the study, in the yard, at the gate, even outside the toilet.

Everyone has a stool (although these imaginations are good, they were not set in the Jin Dynasty), and pens, ink, paper and inkstones are well placed. Every time I think of a well-structured word, I immediately write it on paper. When he practiced calligraphy, he thought hard and even forgot to eat and sleep.
