The Interconnection Between Literature and Calligraphy from the Perspective of Wang Xizhi's Preface to the Lanting Collection

Abstract

Preface to the Lanting Pavilion takes calligraphy as the carrier and literature as the sustenance. Its literary and artistic values are
closely linked to the universal concepts in traditional Chinese culture, which not only enriches the expressive connotation of calligraphy art,
but also contributes to the sound development and construction of contemporary higher calligraphy education. Taking the literary and artistic
value implications of Preface to the Lanting Pavilion as the starting point, this paper expounds its profound influence on contemporary higher
calligraphy education from the perspective of "Literature as a Vehicle for Dao", as well as its guiding and reference significance for contempo
rary calligraphy creation practice and calligraphy theoretical research.
