Seeing this, the babies can't help but sigh the greatness and amazing creativity of the book saint! A word "Xi" can be written by him in more than a dozen ways! We racked our brains and analyzed the copy, trying to remember every signature of Wang Xizhi, but finally found that, let alone remember, even the order of some signatures was not clear!

Every time I come, I often forget this matter, asking for nothing in return, specious, passing by, let it go! Is it not just a signature? Anyway, we don't need to create! But the babies are bitter and can't say it!

Rational analysis, does Wang Xizhi really need so many signatures? Imagine, when you are famous and married, will you still need so many signatures? A dozen pre-designed preparations, different signatures for different works on different occasions? Is this really necessary?

As a symbol, the signature of a famous artist needs to be accurate and recognizable, and also needs to reflect his own personality. When the signature pattern is stable and accepted by everyone, the author often doesn't make too many random changes.

Therefore, Wang Xizhi's signature presents various faces, on the one hand, because it is his works in different periods, on the other hand, Wang Xizhi has been exploring the best signature method. Why? Because the cursive script of the word "Xi" is too difficult to write!

In Wang Xizhi's time, unlike today, we had a dictionary. The inheritance of grass law mainly depends on mentoring and self-understanding. Through the analysis of a large number of Wang Xizhi's signatures, the author finally found that there is a kind of signature that Wang Xizhi uses the most and is the most stable. Please see:

Of course, as a grass research institute, there is the most important point, and that is "accuracy"! Why do you say that:

To analyze the grass method of Xi is actually to analyze the grass method of Yi. These two characters are very similar in seal script and regular script:

By careful comparison, we can find that the "Xi" in the lower left corner has one more weight than the "Yi". According to the principle of "similarity" in the principle of grass method, Wang Xizhi expressed this difference with one point:

The following is the cursive script of "righteousness", which can be seen by careful identification:

When Zhang Bi wrote the cursive script of "Sunrise" in Ming Dynasty, it was also carried out according to this method.

According to the above analysis, we think that Wang Xizhi's dozens of existing signatures are not necessarily satisfactory to him! In this experiment that he signed for himself, Wang Xizhi tried, explored and maybe lost! When he found the perfect unity of cursive style and form from the perspective of philology, Wang Xizhi stopped fighting for signature! And in the process of learning, don't continue to dwell on some of Wang Xizhi's signatures. Book saints are human beings, not gods! There are also normal problems we encounter in the learning process!
