During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, in the history of Chinese calligraphy, there were two great calligraphers, the first was Mrs. Wei, the second was Wang Xizhi, Mrs. Wei was the first female calligrapher in the history of Chinese calligraphy, and Wang Xizhi was the only book saint in the history of Chinese calligraphy.
Mrs. Wei's life is a life full of legends, and she is known as the "first goddess" in the history of calligraphy! Where did her status as the "first goddess" come from? The author interprets them for you one by one.
In ancient China, female calligraphers were rare, and the first female calligrapher was once in a thousand years!
Lady Wei, whose real name is Wei Xuan, is a famous female calligrapher during the Jin Dynasty and the daughter of Wei Zhan, the court captain. Her main achievement in calligraphy is to form a set of calligraphy theories, and create the ancient saint of the book world - Wang Xizhi!
Mrs. Wei's teacher was the famous calligrapher Zhong Xiu during the Three Kingdoms period, and her disciple was Wang Xizhi, who was known as a generation of "book saints" during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so Mrs. Wei deserves to be a generation of outstanding calligraphers who carry on the past and forge ahead.
Zhong Xiu created the Kaishu and is known as the originator of the Kaishu. Mrs. Wei inherited the tradition of Zhong Xiu and creatively developed a new type of small block script, which is called "Hairpin Flower Small Letter".
What is a hairpin flower? The hairpin is a kind of ornament inserted by ancient women on the hair, and the function is to tie the hair. In order to improve the decorative nature of the hairpin, the top of the hairpin is often decorated with some patterns, known as the hairpin flower.
Mrs. Wei's small kai, the shape is beautiful and soft, just like the carved flowers on the hairpins of ancient women's coiled hair, so it is named "hairpin flower small kai".
The reason why Mrs. Wei is known as the first goddess in the history of calligraphy is mainly because she has created the "eternal saint" in the book world!
Mrs. Wei used her "Pen Array Diagram" to lay a solid foundation for Wang Xizhi's calligraphy enlightenment. This is only one aspect, but Mrs. Wei's obsession, literacy and sincerity in calligraphy are also the keys to creating a book saint.
1. Mistaking ink for meals
Throughout the ages, obsessed with reading and writing, and mistakenly using ink for food, it is no longer an exception, but in Mrs. Wei, this happened, which is particularly intriguing.
When Wang Xizhi was a child, he always practiced with Mrs. Wei, and his long-term book incense edification made Wang Xizhi's calligraphy full of spirituality and developed the good quality of knowing and learning.
Once, the little Wang Xizhi came to lunch and asked the teacher to eat. Mrs. Wei asked him to go to dinner first, and he had to write for a while. Later, when I ate, I dipped the ink as a meal. When Wang Xizhi came over to take a look, Wei Fu found that he had made a joke, and the two looked at each other and laughed.
For a study, without the energy of obsession, you can't enter the role, you must be obsessed and crazy to receive unexpected results.
Optimism and cheerfulness are the instincts of the book legal person, and Mrs. Wei, who ate the ink, not only did not feel embarrassed, but smiled humorously and heartily, giving the calligraphy cause the divinity.
Second, God was moved
The 90-year-old fool in "The Fool Moves the Mountain" mobilized the whole family to move the mountain in order to move the two mountains that stood in the way of his home! After years of digging mountains and transporting soil, he finally moved the Heavenly Emperor, and finally the Heavenly Emperor sent two great gods to move these two mountains.
Of course, this parable illustrates two points: first, perseverance; The second is to sincerely move the sky!
In Mrs. Wei's body, a similar incident occurred.
According to legend, when Mrs. Wei was a child, her family was very poor and could not afford paper and ink, so she practiced her words on the mountain, using mountain springs as ink, stones and trees as paper. Winter comes to spring, cold comes and summer comes, and so on every year.
One day, there was a sudden heavy rain in the sky, and a lot of ink flowed out of the mountains. It turned out that Mrs. Wei practiced her words on the mountain for many years, wrote the trees and stones black, and after the rain, the spectacle of "ink rain falling from the sky" naturally occurred!
Third, "draw the finishing touch" and see the effort
Wang Xianzhi, the son of Wang Xizhi, was once practicing words, and Wang Xizhi came over, took the brush in Wang Xianzhi's hand, and lightly clicked on a certain word. Wang Xianzhi showed his homework to his mother, who smiled after reading it: "Wu'er only has this like learning from your father." ”
The experience of Wang Xianzhi in the story is the experience of Wang Xizhi back then.
Wang Xizhi likes geese very much and also likes to paint geese. Once I saw a goose swimming happily in the water, so I drew the goose, but my eyes were not like it, so I found Mrs. Wei. I saw Mrs. Wei pick up the pen, just so gently, one eye came alive, like a dragon in "The Finishing Touch", almost flying.
Mrs. Wei and Wang Xizhi, they are both successful and powerfully interpret the learning principle of "teaching each other"! Wei Fu made Wang Xizhi! Because Wang Xizhi's studious and intelligent nature also gave Mrs. Wei a lot of inspiration, therefore, Wang Xizhi also created Mrs. Wei!
At the same time, what Mrs. Wei gave Wang Xizhi was not only good teaching methods, but also her persistence, diligence and fun!
