Now there is a Hexi town in Gaoping, Shanxi Province, among which Suzhuang Village is an ancient village in the southeast of Shanxi Province. There is also a parking pool of more than ten acres in the local area. It is said that Mrs. Wei has been practicing calligraphy seriously when she was young, forgetting to eat and sleep. Therefore, she often spends several hours on the telephone bill just to learn the structure and style of calligraphy, so the parking pool here is where Mrs. Wei often washes pens and inkstones. Once, when she was tired of practicing calligraphy, she put the pen and inkstone directly in a bucket and put them in a pond, so the water in the pond was dyed black. In order to commemorate Mrs. Wei, later generations called this pool "Mrs. Wei Wash".
The story of Mrs. Guan Yu's hard practice of calligraphy, in which eating ink is the most classic, shows that Mrs. Wei is very cautious and single-minded in her research spirit of calligraphy. In order to read and write more, practice writing more and improve efficiency, Wei Zifu will eat while reading. Because he was so absorbed, he ate a steamed bread dipped in ink.
Later, Mrs. Wei's student Wang Xizhi came in and found that Mrs. Wei's desk had not served food, but the ink in the inkstone was gone. After she reminded me, Mrs. Wei didn't react and ate Chinese ink steamed bread as a meal.
Mrs. Wei's achievements in calligraphy
Mrs. Wei, known as Mao Yi and Yue, was a famous calligrapher in the Jin Dynasty. When I was a child, I studied calligraphy with Zhong You and was good at regular script. En Zhong You was a famous calligrapher in the Three Kingdoms period and the founder of regular script. Together with Wang Xizhi, he was called Zhong Wang by later generations, and calligraphy was called "top grade".
Mrs. Wei is a famous female calligrapher in ancient China. She studied under a famous calligrapher and was also the teacher of the famous calligrapher Wang Xizhi.
Mrs Wei has been diligent in learning Chinese characters since she was a child. She washed the pen and inkstone with the pond in front of the door. Over time, she dyed the water in the pond black. Up to now, the name of a fat pond in Suzhuang Village is Mrs. Wei Wash. After marrying Li Moment, the satrap of Ruyin, he became Wang Xizhi's calligraphy teacher, which can be said to be his first teacher. In Wang Xizhi's early years, Mrs. Wei set an example and guided and encouraged Wang Xizhi to study calligraphy hard with her early experience of "washing". Once again, she pretended to be Guanyin's mother to bake cakes in the market in a special way, and praised Wang Xizhi's exquisite calligraphy, which inspired Wang Xizhi to make further progress and eventually become a generation of calligraphers.
In addition, Mrs. Wei's outstanding contribution also includes her brushwork pictures handed down from generation to generation. Teacher Wei summed up calligraphy theory's valuable experience by combining his own learning and teaching experience and the wisdom of his predecessors. She is a rare introductory guide for beginners of calligraphy, with high literary value, which is praised by later calligraphers.
What is the relationship between Wei and Wang Xizhi?
Mrs Wei is a distinctive calligrapher in ancient China, and her calligraphy style is unique. It is said that Mrs Wei's master was Zhong You, a famous calligrapher in the Three Kingdoms period, and Zhong You's calligraphy works were "above the top grade". Mrs Wei studied under Zhong You and was very curious. Her calligraphy works are recognized as noble and elegant by Zhong You.
Under the guidance of famous teachers, coupled with the talent and diligence of teacher Wei, her works were finally called "wonderful flowers" and were appreciated and respected by everyone. However, because of his great fame, Wang Xizhi, a young calligrapher, worshipped Mrs. Wei as a teacher and learned the essence of calligraphy.
As the first teacher of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, Mrs. Wei taught Wang Xizhi what she had learned and felt without stint. Under the influence of Mrs. Wei's learning spirit, Wang Xizhi not only made great achievements in calligraphy, but also read widely and learned from others, becoming a leading figure in calligraphy.
Mrs Wei taught Wang Xizhi in a unique way. Not limited to bookstores, but outdoor teaching, laying a solid foundation for Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. When teaching how to write "point", "one" and "vertical", she described the writing points and feelings of these three basic strokes to Wang Xizhi with rocks and rocks, clouds and withered vines, which not only made Wang Xizhi better understand, but also made him better use the language.
Mrs. Wei not only became Wang Xizhi's calligraphy teacher, but also his life mentor. Mrs. Wei integrated the life and enthusiasm of calligraphy into nature, which gave Wang Xizhi great insight and strength.
