As early as the Wei and Jin Dynasties, high tables were not yet popular, printing technology was not well developed, and the paper was short. Calligraphers at that time mostly used low desks, or directly held the paper in one hand to create, relying on their arms and wrist strength to move the pen. They had a wider field of vision and could see the entire layout of the whole article. Their brush strokes were flexible, varied, fluent and precise.

Therefore, most of the calligraphy works handed down from the Wei and Jin Dynasties are natural and vivid, with a sense of emptiness and elegance, and are extremely romantic and authentic.Unfortunately, the size is smallIt is impossible to read enough of them in one go. Take Wang Xizhi's works as an example. His "Ping'an Tie", "Da Dao Tie", "Kuaixue Shiqing Tie", etc., each of them has less than 30 words in total.

Even the "Lanting Preface", known as "the best running script in the world", has only 324 characters and is about 70 centimeters long, and is still a short work. These short and concise calligraphy works have a clear and spacious layout and look indeed beautiful and peaceful.

However, from the perspective of technique, calligraphy with fewer characters isThe brushwork system is incomplete, it is difficult to grasp the various changes in multiple colors,The skills learned are too monotonous and cannot be integrated. Searching for calligraphy works everywhere is also time-consuming and laborious.。

In order to solve the above problems, the ancients selected the most classic and standard fonts based on "Preface to the Sacred Teaching", "Half-broken Stele of Xingfu Temple", "Seventeen Letters" and Wang Xizhi's handwritten letters, and compiled them into a book "Tao Te Ching in Running Script".

According to experts, this work was completed in the Tang and Song dynasties and is the only remaining "huge authentic work" by Wang Xizhi. All 5,162 characters in the scroll are intact.The length reaches 11 meters, which is used to calculate its volume.More than 25 copies of Lanting Preface。

Even the Preface to the Holy Teachings can only rank second to it, as it containsMore than 4,000 commonly used "special characters"As for the remaining more than 1,000 identical characters, the "character collector" observes the structure and brushstroke changes of each character, connects the upper and lower parts, and makes reasonable arrangements to ensure that it is in harmony with the composition and has consistent rhythm and rhyme.

At first glance, it looks like it was written by Wang Xizhi himself. It is harmonious and elegant, while highlighting the unique momentum and unique interest of each character. For example, in the middle part of the third line of the scroll, the character "母" (mother) is thick and solid, with sharp and strong turns, and a relatively tight structure, giving it a sense of simplicity.

The character "故" below is completely the opposite. The white space in the middle is sparse, the strokes are fine and vigorous, and the turning point of the reverse character is smooth and rounded. The contrast between the two can not only maintain the coordination and unity of the whole scroll, pursue peace in the changes, but also highlight the three-dimensionality and fluidity, making the artistic charm stronger.

The Running Script Tao Te Ching had been hidden away before, but it has reappeared in the calligraphy world in recent years. It is no exaggeration to say that such a magnificent volume of Wang Xizhi's running script is enough to rewrite the history of calligraphy. It is very worthy of learning. The handwriting of the whole volume is clear and complete, and the details are clearly visible.Master the correct "Two Wangs" brushwork to a great extent。
