As we all know, Wang Xizhi represents the highest level of calligraphy history and has become a model for future generations to learn, but it is not perfect!
In the view of the Tang Dynasty calligrapher Zhang Huaijun: "(Wang Zi) has a girl's talent, no husband", although it is a little extreme, calligraphy friends who have studied calligraphy know that it is difficult to write a large opening and closing, majestic and strong calligraphy.
Later generations can make up for this regret, only Yan Zhenqing, Mi Fu, Huang Tingjian a few people, especially Huang Tingjian's large-character works, full of chic and unrestrained feeling, but not far from the law, so that scholars all shouted: enjoyable!
From the perspective of the history of calligraphy, in the Song Dynasty, Huang Tingjian's calligraphy influence is no less than Su Shi, and it is farther than Mi Fu and Cai Xiang, especially his large-character masterpiece "Pillar Inscription", which was auctioned at the Beijing Poly Spring Auction 436.8 billion yuan, with a single word reaching more than 700,000, causing a sensation in the collection world.
This volume is more than 600 words, written in large characters, the spear is aposed, majestic atmosphere, can be called an immortal work in the history of calligraphy, make up for the "two kings" calligraphy, can not enlarge the shortcomings of writing.
Huang Tingjian's unique way of learning calligraphy, he started from "Crane Ming", and later combined with the calligraphy of "Erwang" to form his own unique style of calligraphy, which comes from "Erwang", but is different from "Erwang", is the product of the perfect fusion of the pen and posture of "Erwang" and the calligraphy style of "Erwang".
In addition to the exquisite penmanship, this volume of "Pillar Inscription" has a clear sense of rhythm, starting and ending, like a beautiful music, which makes people immersed and difficult to extricate themselves, even if you don't understand calligraphy, when you really go deep into the rhythm of this work, you will be shocked by it.
Of course, for people who can only read horizontal and vertical, such exaggerated calligraphy is just an "ugly book"!
This "Pillar Inscription" is undoubtedly one of the rare scriptures for later generations to learn large-character works, and today I especially recommend to you a high-definition copy of Huang Tingjian's "Pillar Inscription", which uses museum-level reproduction technology, which is no different from the original, and looks forward to your like.
