Written at the beginning: calligraphy can cultivate a person's good character and temperament and cultural literacy, you can learn calligraphy with a pen, take your family to learn calligraphy together, especially children, form an atmosphere for families to learn traditional calligraphy, and create a home of books.
The Orchid Pavilion Preface has made Wang Xizhi a sage of ancient calligraphy, and has also become a model that calligraphers of all generations must copy, and there is no introductory calligraphy without learning Wang Xizhi. Many people are copying Feng Chengsu's model book, and even the Palace Museum treasures this version.
This version is from the Tang Dynasty to the present, we look at it from the handwriting, more is too beautiful and charming, lack of a strong sense of strength, which is inconsistent with Wang Xizhi's style of writing, many experts and scholars also think that Feng Chengsu's version is not the original, there is a loss of the original style, it should be Fengfang forged, this version is an inkblot version. Then let's take a look at the inscription, the inscription version of the "Orchid Pavilion Preface" can better reflect Wang Xizhi's style of writing, which is completely different from Feng Chengsu's inkblot style. No matter from which angle to appreciate, it always feels that the inscription is closer to the original version of Wang Xizhi. The inscription version of the "Orchid Pavilion Preface" rhymes through, is natural, and the characters are flexible.
Wang Xizhi's "Orchid Pavilion Preface" cannot enter the contemporary national exhibition, and it is difficult to win the "Orchid Pavilion Award"! What the? The "Lanting Award" set up in the name of "Orchid Pavilion Preface" Lao Wang still can't enter the exhibition? In fact, this is also a manifestation of the inaction of the China Book Association, which seems to be to promote calligraphy, but in fact it is harming Chinese calligraphy! Dear book lovers, do you think Wang Xizhi's calligraphy can be included in the national exhibition of the China Book Association?
