Wang Zhihuan, or Wang Zhihuan, whose real name is Ji Ling, is a famous poet in the prosperous Tang Dynasty and enjoys a high reputation so far. Such a celebrity, the old and new Tang Shu have no biographies, and the biography of Tang Caizi is also very simple. Fortunately, the discovery of the epitaph of Wang Fujun in Taiyuan, Wen 'an County, Tang Dynasty provided some information about Wang Zhihuan.
Biography of Talented Talents in the Tang Dynasty said that Wang Zhihuan was a master of Ji, or guessed that he was not chivalrous, and he came from Wuling Mountains with elegant swordsmanship. According to the epitaph of Jinneng, Jinneng took Jinyang (now Taiyuan) as his native place and lived in Jiangzhou (now Xinjiang County, Shanxi Province). The epitaph says that Wang Zhihuan died in February of the first year of Tianbao (742) at the age of 55. It can be inferred that he was born in Wu (688) and hung in the arch for four years.
Wang Zhihuan was born in Taiyuan Wang family, and was a noble family at that time. His fifth ancestor, Wang Long, was the secretariat of Jiangzhou in the post-Wei period, and probably moved to Jiangzhou for this reason. Great-great-grandfather Wang xin, a doctor and writer in the Sui Dynasty, became an Anyi county magistrate in the Tang Dynasty. Grandfather Wang Biao, a doctor in Tang Dynasty, was ordered by Wen 'an County. Father Yu, the main book of the country, the county magistrate. From my great-grandfather to my father, although they are all officials, they are all small officials. Wang Zhihuan was born in an ordinary official family, ranking fourth. He has been smart and studious since childhood. Before he was 20, he could read articles intensively. Before he was strong, he was poor in classics. Somehow, Wang Zhihuan did not take part in the imperial examination, but supplemented the main book of Hengshui in Jizhou with a gate valve. Wang Zhihuan's parents died when he was in charge of Hengshui, and Li Di, the magistrate of Hengshui County, betrothed his third daughter to him.
The marriage between Wang Zhihuan and Li may have a romantic history. When they got married in the 10th year of Kaiyuan (722), Wang Zhihuan was married and had children. She is 35 years old and Li is 29 years old, 65,438+07 years younger than Wang Zhihuan. She is a young woman. More than 1000 county magistrates are married to a 35-year-old married county marshal under his father, which is quite intriguing. This must be fascinated by Wang Zhihuan's talent.
Wang Zhihuan just high-spirited, unwilling to bend over for Hengshui's humble position, and someone framed the attack, so he resigned angrily, "then swim in the green hills and destroy the yellow ribbon. The river is thousands of miles away because of its high wind; Fifteen years at home, eating its old virtues. It's cool to talk about the knighthood. " I have lived at home for 15 years. Later, his relatives and friends felt that it was not right for him to stay in the lower class, so they advised him to be an official. Later, as the captain of Wen 'an County in Wen 'an County, it was still a humble job. He is famous for his clean work style and fair management of the people, and is praised by the local people. Unexpectedly, it was not long before he became ill and died in the official residence at the age of 55.
In his epitaph, Jin Neng called Wang Zhihuan "filial piety, friendship, generosity and charming talent", which is a perfect summary of Wang Zhihuan's life.
After Li and Wang Zhihuan got married, they fell in love. Wang Zhihuan stayed at home for 15 years, and Li lived a poor life with him. Wang Zhihuan re-entered the officialdom, his life just changed for the better, but he died, leaving Li a widow before he was 40 years old. Six years after Wang Zhihuan's death, Li also died of illness. They can't be buried together because of his ex-wife.
Because of historical data, Wang Zhihuan's life experience is little known, but as a famous poet, he is almost well known. His famous "Liangzhou Ci", that is, "The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, and there is a lonely city, Wan Ren Mountain. Why should a strong brother complain about Liu? The spring breeze does not pass through Yumen Pass. It has been widely circulated by people of all ages and is called' the most quatrains' by Mr. Zhang Taiyan. " But when you walk up a flight of stairs, you broaden your horizons by 300 miles ",which is even more famous in" The Crane Tower ". Wang Zhihuan's poems are rarely handed down from generation to generation. There are only six poems visible today, which are enough to make Wang Zhihuan's poems famous and the universe * * *.
Wang Zhihuan's poems were not only admired by later generations, but also shocked the world when he was alive. He often made friends with Wang Changling, Gao Shi, Cui, Chang Dang and other famous poets, and his poems were "spread to the movement and spread to the population". Xue Zeng, a native of Hedong (now Yongji, Shanxi) in the Tang Dynasty, used the story of "painting a wall and hanging a flag pavilion" in Ji Jie Ji to illustrate people's worship of Wang Zhihuan's poems at that time. At the beginning of Kaiyuan, Wang Zhihuan was neck and neck with Wang Changling and Gao Shi. One day, it was freezing and snowing slightly, and three people came to the flag pavilion to drink. Just 10 more than the Liyuan Lingguan and four famous prostitutes also came to this banquet, and the three of them warmed up while watching. Wang Changling suggested that each of us is good at poem titles. Who is better than who? Today, we can see who sings more poems and who sings the best. The first geisha sang Wang Changling's "There is a Ice Heart in the Jade Pot", and Wang Changling drew a picture for himself on the wall. The second song is "Open Your Eyes with Tears" by Gao Shi, and Gao Shi drew one for himself. Then Wang Changling added another one. Wang Zhihuan said that these girls are ordinary geisha, and they all sang from the beauty of chin. It depends on whose poem the best geisha sings. If it weren't for my poem, I wouldn't dare to compare with you two all my life. When the famous prostitute sang, it was really a poem by Wang Zhihuan, and the three of them laughed happily. Zhu Ling because they asked with a smile, know that it is Wang Zhihuan and others. Glad to invite them to the table. The flag pavilion painted the wall and became an allusion. Yuan people also staged a big play. This shows that Wang Zhihuan's poems were famous at that time.
Such talents, unfortunately, will never be used, and things will not work out. This is also the common outcome of all talented and upright intellectuals. Although only six of his poems have been handed down, they are the essence of China's classical literature.
"The general way, is to master the right pen, lack of other aspects, not late. It is just a process of continuous enrichment. " This is written by Mr. Wang Huanzhi. Mr. Guan Huanzhi's calligraphy is like a dragon out of water, which sets off majestic publicity and gentle and restrained jade, rigorous statutes and unconventional brushwork, all of which are coquettish, and the chic style of "the calligrapher is beautiful" is all in it.
Mr. Huanzhi, whose real name is Quan Wang, is the president of Zaozhuang "Third Hospital" and the 56th grandson of Wang Xizhi, who is called "Master of Third Hospital". It is of the same ancestry as Mr. Wang Luan, the "ancient town calligrapher" who is well-known in the painting and calligraphy art circles in southern Jiangsu. Since childhood, he has devoted himself to studying Wang Xizhi's calligraphy art, gained the essence of his art, and created his own "Three Institutes" with both form and spirit. His calligraphy is good at cursive strokes, with retrograde strokes and full of ink, fast and strong strokes, accidental brushwork and rigorous structure. He inherited Wang Xizhi's "essence of traditional pen-using", with pen belly in front, pen belly in front and pen-laying as the main task, and switched the center of gravity between wrist, elbow, arm and waist, and made some innovations.
Calligraphy is a portrayal of the writer's character, and self-correction is the first element of the calligrapher's artistic life. "There is a poetic soul in the belly", and the calligrapher's aesthetic taste, talent, knowledge and care for life are all permeated in calligraphy. Mr. Huan Zhi read poetry books since childhood, appreciated the connotation of classic works, and immersed the soul of poetry into calligraphy works. When he was young, he got the ancestral secret book of Xi, and he followed it carefully and diligently. Wang Xizhi's book is a copybook. He attends classes all day, often stays up late, enjoys it and practices it repeatedly 10 for many years. He can memorize the content of the post and the structure of each word by heart. Sometimes in order to draw every word accurately, I can't sleep well and eat well. I have copied it thousands of times for more than a month. At the same time, I also thank my uncle Mr. Wang Lu 'an for his exemplary guidance, and his calligraphy is getting better and better.
Mr. Guan Huanzhi's calligraphy is like a dragon coming out of water, flowing like clouds, and the majestic publicity and gentle and restrained jade complement each other. Strict statutes and unconventional brushwork are all coquettish, which fully shows the chic style of "the beauty of the book". Zhuang said: "My life is also limited, and my knowledge is also limited." The road of aspiring artists is Xiu Yuan's, and Huanzhi is obsessed with the research and creation of calligraphy. He participated in many important competitions at home and abroad, extensively dabbled in and learned from others' strengths, completed a systematic summary of China's traditional calligraphy represented by Wang Xizhi, and published Wang Xizhi and China's Traditional Calligraphy Pen and Wang Xizhi's Calligraphy and Its Word Formula, which made Wang Xizhi vividly expressed and spread. He created the post-Wang Xizhi's calligraphy theory with a brand-new concept, and created and published Sanzhixuan Letters and Sanzhixuan Books, which attracted the attention of the book circles at home and abroad. "Sanzhixuan" is the knowledge handed down from generation to generation by the descendant Wang family to commemorate their ancestors, which means to cherish, cherish and tie the past. The "three" inferred by Mr. Huan Zhi are Wang Xizhi, Wang Xianzhi and Wang Huanzhi, which means to inherit Wang Xizhi's calligraphy tradition and create a new artistic height.
