Gently unfolding it, a beautiful calligraphy piece appeared before Zhuang Zhou's eyes.
The font is elegant and graceful, the brushstrokes are vigorous and powerful, and each word seems to contain endless vitality.
Zhuang Zhou looked at the work carefully and couldn't help but admire it.
etc.
Zhuang Zhou quickly saw the clue.
The scroll begins with the following words:
"In the ninth year of the Yonghe era, the year of Guichou, at the beginning of late spring..."
this?
It's so familiar!
Isn’t this... Wang Xizhi’s Preface to the Lanting Collection?
Zhuang Zhou could recite the entire article before.
Even after all these years, he can still remember the opening.
"Holy crap! Is this the Preface to the Lanting Poems?"
Zhuang Zhou felt excited.
The work in front of you.
It turned out to be the "Lanting Preface" by Wang Xizhi, which he had always dreamed of getting!
To confirm authenticity.
Zhuang Zhou quickly moved closer to take a closer look, and saw that the handwriting was clear and the strokes flowed smoothly.
Each word seems to have its own life, as if telling the story of Shanyin, Kuaiji in the ninth year of Yonghe.
Li Er was very proud to see Zhuang Zhou so obsessed.
This guy really knows his stuff!
He stroked his beard lightly and heard Li Er laugh:
"This is the authentic Lanting Preface by Wang Xizhi, my favorite calligraphy work in my life.
Zhuang Zhou, what do you think of this calligraphy?

Zhuang Mou is so lucky to be able to see the original work! "
This emotion is really exciting.
It's not an act at all.
"Good! Good! Good!
You really know what you are talking about!
Your ability to recognize the beauty of this character is a testament to your talent."
After hearing this, Li Er laughed out loud and said:
"I acquired this 'Lanting Preface' from a collector. I have treasured it for many years. Even Cheng Qian has never seen it before."
Zhuang Zhou sneered in his heart.
This is really interesting.
What do you get from a collector?
This is clearly a conspiracy, right?
About the origin of Li Er's acquisition of "Lanting Preface".
Zhuang Zhou really did have some understanding of this.
The original manuscript of "Lanting Preface" has always been regarded as a family heirloom by Wang Xizhi.
After Wang Xizhi's death, his paintings were collected by his descendants.
It was not until the establishment of the Tang Dynasty that Li Er ascended the throne as emperor.
