Commissioned by Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, Monk Huairen spent 25 years and led a team of more than 40 people to organize and select the authentic works of Wang Xizhi and compiled them into a volume called "Huairen Collection of Wang Xizhi's Preface to the Sacred Teachings". This volume can be regarded as a "must-have work" for calligraphy scholars. The whole volume contains 1,903 characters in total.

When Huairen collected characters, he selected all of Wang Xizhi's most exquisite and standard fonts. The strokes were elegant and graceful, flying and free. The tip of the brush changed with the shape of the characters. He often used twisting brushstrokes, and the upper and lower strokes were like silk threads and belts. The shapes were lively and vigorous, with the elegant and healthy beauty of the Wei and Jin dynasties.

In addition to the wonderful "word selection",The layout is also very painstaking, and every detail is harmonious and coherent.For example, in the scroll, Wang Xizhi has many different ways of writing the same character “之”. Huairen arranged them reasonably in every place according to the density, weight, and speed of the two characters before and after.

This ensures that the whole article has a smooth flow of energy, natural rhythm, and no rigidity or other problems, fully demonstrating the interest of calligraphy art. Moreover, every stroke is full of the eight methods and vivid and straightforward, condensing the orthodox "Two Wangs" brushwork in one volume.

Therefore, Wang Shizhen praised it, saying: "Although the "Preface to the Holy Teaching" was written by the monk Huairen, it was copied from the imperial court of Emperor Gaozong with the help of the Right Army's running script. It has the best of the eight methods. It is truly a dragon and elephant in the ink pool and the wings of the "Lanting". He also said:"The calligraphy of "Preface to the Sacred Teachings" is a model for generations to come."

Ye Changchi also said: "Collecting calligraphy began with Huairen, and it was unheard of before the Tang Dynasty. Many people have collected calligraphy by Right Army, but only the "Preface to the Sacred Teaching" is perfect and seamless." Unfortunately, the original stele of the "Preface to the Sacred Teaching" has been eroded by wind and rain, and most of the characters are severely blurred. Even the accuracy of the appearance cannot be guaranteed, not to mention the changes in details, so it is impossible to learn the correct ancient method.

Japanese experts now use high technology to scan the original stones in the Xi'an Forest of Steles, and then fully restore them to produce an ultra-high-definition "Mitsuimoto", which was recently made public for the first time. The characters are clear and complete, and the ink color is bright and vivid. It is the best version for learning "The Preface to the Holy Teaching" and can be regarded as an "immortal legend" in the calligraphy world.

By copying this work frequently, you can master the orthodox "Two Wangs" brushwork through perfect and high-definition strokes. Starting from the details, you can improve the flexibility and beauty of the brushwork. You no longer need to be so cautious, and you can also appreciate the inner emptiness and aura, feel the traditional Jin and Tang artistic style, and take your own skills to a higher level and get ahead of others.

Today, we have made a 1:1 ultra-high-definition reproduction of the "Seikyo Preface" restored in Japan, using museum-level, 12-color micro-spray reproduction technology, which is exactly the same as the original.And based on the "Mitsui version", a "complete version" was produced, fill in the places where the writing is worn and scratched.

The entire article contains 1903 characters without any missing characters, fully restoring the style of the ink marks. In order to facilitate modern scholars with weak foundations to understand the changes in pen details, it conforms to the writing habits of Gao Zhu.We enlarged the font by 1~2 times, and each word reached about 4 cm, all the subtle processing is clearly visible.

At the same time, modern Chinese characters are added below the original text to help beginners read, it is very suitable for copying and learning. There is also a picture of the whole stele at the end of the volume. This kind of exquisiteness is rare in the market, and it is the only one of its kind.
