Although the entrance to the tomb was relatively smooth, it had been a long time since morning, and the sky was still overcast, but it should not have rained anymore, because there were already a few faint rays of light from the clouds on the top of the mountain in the distance.

"Let's go, it's already afternoon. After a while, the weather was fine, and it was not good to meet the nearby villagers. As he spoke, he picked up his backpack and walked along the way he came, followed by An Xiangfei and I.

There were too many words along the way, but the residual rain on the weeds wet our trouser legs, which looked cold and cold, knowing that it was already late autumn.

Looking at the Makushu who was leading the way in front of me, in order to break the abnormal silence, I exhaled and asked, "Eh, what kind of treasure is that yellowed book coupon you just took in the tomb?" ”

Who knew that Makushu suddenly stopped and turned around, so that I didn't brake suddenly and went straight into his arms.

I didn't dare to look into his eyes, because his eyes were as deep as before, as if he could see through everything.

"It's a broken book, and you don't take anything good from the curtain repair." An Xiangfei said and took out a bead in his hand, and I could see at a glance that it was a night pearl.

"An Xiangfei, you have made a fortune, this is a pearl of the night." I said in surprise.

"It's not a broken book." Mu Xiu said solemnly to An Xiangfei, and then pondered for a while and said, "Don't get excited, this is the Preface to the Lanting Collection"

"Ah......h You must know that this "Lanting Collection Preface" is Wang Xizhi's work, which has long been lost for thousands of years, and it can be called a treasure of the world.

According to the record, the text of the "Lanting Collection Preface" is splendid, the words are beautiful, it is a popular and beautiful prose, it breaks the rules, finds its own way, does not fall into the ordinary, is wonderful and elegant, whether it is the lyricism of the painting scene, or the commentary on the history of the chronicle, it is refreshing. Although the mentality is contradictory, on the whole, it is still positive, especially in the atmosphere of the Eastern Jin Dynasty when talking about Xuancheng at that time, it is particularly valuable to put forward that "life and death are illusory, and Qi Peng's death is vain". The greater achievement of the Orchid Pavilion Collection lies in its calligraphy art. The atmosphere is light and ethereal, chic and natural; With the pen charming and elegant; The technique is both peaceful and strange, the size is uneven, there is not only the careful arrangement of artistic ingenuity, but also there is no trace of artificiality, natural nature. Among them, all the same words, the writing is different, such as "zhi", "to", "for" and other words, each has its own changes, especially the word "zhi", to achieve the effect of artistic diversity and unity. The Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection is a masterpiece of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy art, a peak in the history of Chinese calligraphy art, which has nourished generations of calligraphers.

In terms of structure and chapter, emotions are used as clues, and there are feelings in the narrative, and reasoning is explained by feelings. The first paragraph in the realm of clear beauty, focusing on the word "music", from music to contemplation, leading to the second paragraph of the word "pain", after some painful thinking, I feel infinite sadness, and finally end with the word "sadness". The emotional colors are very different, but the transition between the front and back is appropriate and natural.

The author wrote this article with his exquisite calligraphy, and the original handwriting is said to have been placed in his tomb by Li Shimin, but from the facsimile of the Tang Dynasty, it can still be seen that his "dragon and tiger are lying" look. "Yu Ti" is known as "the first line of books in the world", Dong Qichang's "Essay on Painting Zen Room" said: "The chapter is the first in ancient and modern times, and its words are all born with reflection, big or small, whatever you want, all into the law." ”

Now displayed in the Lanting Wang Youjun Temple Feng Chengsu facsimile (copy), the real copy is in the Palace Museum in Beijing, there is a small seal of "Shenlong" (Tang Zhongzong year) on it, which is an ironclad evidence that it is judged to be a copy of the Tang Dynasty. The "Shenlong Ben" is the closest surviving copy to Wang Xizhi's authentic work. Because of its careful hook copying, so the line of the turn is vivid, not only the ink color is dry and moist is quite natural, but also the edge of the pen, the fork of the broken pen and the gossamer between the turn are also very realistic, from which we can see Wang Xizhi's writing with the pen Xu Ji, frustration, twists and turns of the wonderful penmanship.

"Lanting Collection Preface" is recognized by the world as a treasure, has always been treasured in the Wang family, until his seventh grandson Zhiyuan, Zhiyong was a monk in Shaoxing Yongxin Temple when he was young, and studied Wang Xi's true works for more than 30 years. Before Zhiyong died, he passed the "Preface to the Lanting Collection" to his disciple Biancai. He is good at calligraphy and painting, and he cherishes the "Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface" very much, and hides it on the loft beam, never showing it. Later, he was deceived by Shi Xiaoyi, the supervisor sent by Tang Taizong. After Tang Taizong got the "Lanting Collection Preface", he was like a treasure. He also ordered Ouyang Xun, Yu Shinan, Chu Suiliang and other calligraphers to write. The Hongwenguan book extension headed by Feng Chengsu was also ordered to copy the original double hook into several copies and distribute them to the prince's close ministers. After the death of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the courtiers followed his edict and buried the original work of the "Lanting Collection Preface" as a funeral object in Zhaoling. However, it was not excavated when excavating the Zhaoling, so there is a folk legend that the "Lanting Collection Preface" was buried in the Qianling, but after all, it is a folk legend that has not been officially recognized.

The background of the creation is that according to legend, the mountains and rivers of Huiji are quiet and the scenery is beautiful. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, many celebrities lived here, talked about the mysteries, and let loose the wreckage. On the third day of the third lunar month of the ninth year of Emperor Yonghe of the Jin Dynasty, Wang Xizhi, who "crossed Zhejiang for the first time and has the ambition of the end", had been in the Lanting of Huiji Shanyin (now under the Lanzhu Mountain outside the city of Shaoxing), held an elegant gathering, these celebrities and scholars, there were Situ Xie An, Sun Sui of the Cifu family, Xie Wan of the proud and arrogant things, the high monk Zhi Daolin and Wang Xizhi's son Xianzhi, Ning Zhi, Zhuozhi, Xuanzhi and other 41 people.

March in the south of the Yangtze River is usually the rainy season of drizzle, but this day is exceptionally sunny, with lofty mountains, lush forests and bamboos, gentle winds, clear streams in the streams, and quiet and pleasant scenery. The main content of the Lanting Yaji is "Xiu", which is an ancient Chinese custom that has been passed down to the people. On the first day of the third lunar month, people go to the water's edge to hold a ritual of purification, sprinkle their bodies with aromatherapy dipped in water, or bathe to wash away dirt, feel the spirit of spring, and pray for the elimination of diseases and bad luck.

Another project of the Lanting Yaji is the Liuyu Qushui, where forty-one celebrities sit on both sides of the meandering stream, and then the scholar puts the feathers of the wine into the stream and lets it go downstream, and if the poem stops in front of anyone, he will be given a poem, and if he can't chant the poem, he will be fined three glasses of wine. This Lanting Yaji, there are eleven people each into two poems, fifteen people into one poem each, sixteen people can't make poems and each is fined three glasses of wine, Wang Xizhi's youngest son Wang Xianzhi was also punished for drinking. Qing Dynasty poets once made fun of Wang Xianzhi in limerick poems. "But laughing at the order of the king of Wuyi, there was no poetry at the Lanting meeting."

Everyone gathered the poems together, and publicly recommended the convener of the gathering, the respected Wang Xizhi to write a preface to record this elegant collection, so Wang Xizhi took advantage of the wine, with a mouse whisker pen, on the silkworm paper, impromptu swaying, heart and hand, wrote 28 lines, 324 words by later generations known as "the first line of the book in the world" of the "Lanting Collection Preface".
