【明 文徵明 書蘭亭敘(卷)】Preface to the Orchid Pavilion, Wen Zhengming (1470-1559), Ming dynasty
🔽關於文徵明
文徵明（1470-1559），江蘇長洲人。本名壁，字徵明，以字行，別號停雲生、衡山居士。詩文書畫俱工，亦精鑑藏。
Wen Zhengming (1470-1559) was a native of Changzhou in Jiangsu province. His given name was Bi, and he had the sobriquets He Who Stops the Clouds (Tingyunsheng) and the Recluse of Mount Heng (Hengshan Jushi), but he typically went by his style name, Zhengming. In addition to being an accomplished poet, prosaist, calligrapher, and painter, Wen was also an erudite connoisseur of the arts.
🔽書法賞析：
文氏好寫〈蘭亭敘〉，本卷末自題書於八十九歲。用筆、結字和章法與傳世王羲之（303-361）書〈蘭亭敘〉多不相同，應是意臨之作。筆法內斂含蓄，間架縝密，筆意連綿貫串處，極為自然生動。
Wen Zhengming was fond of making copies of the "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion." In his inscription on the tail end of this scroll, he noted that he was eighty-nine years of age at the time of writing. Wen's brushwork, the structures of the characters, and the overall composition markedly differ from the received version of the "Preface to the Orchard Pavilion" in Wang Xizhi's (303-361) hand, indicating that Wen was making a study of the spirit of Wang's writing, rather than its technical particulars. Here the brushwork is understated and reserved, allowing for finely-structured characters. The many places where brush strokes flow one into the other give the scroll an outstanding sense of natural movement.
