一、智永《真草千字文》
智永,俗姓王,名法极,会稽(浙江)人,书法家王羲之七世孙。大部分二王真迹他都见过,他本人也擅长真草。他常年居于永欣寺内修行,但其善于书写的名声扬外。时人都争先恐后的来索求他的书法作品,以至于门槛都被踩烂,才不得不将门槛上包上铁皮,“铁门限”故事就是由此而来。他学书朝夕苦练,长达三十年之久,他将所有的破笔都埋在土中,堆砌成坟冢,并称之为“退笔冢”。
根据文献考证,智永写了《千字文》八百本。现存《智永真草千字文》共两本,刻石和墨迹各一本。“关中本”,又称“陕西本”,现藏故宫博物馆,原石藏西安碑林。此本字形较扁,隶意未尽,显古雅。传世墨迹本,为日本谷铁臣所藏,后为小川为次郎,故宫博物馆藏有拓本。
智永《真草千字文》字形结构十分谨严,用笔精到一丝不苟。他的行笔精练熟道,飘逸中含古意,温润中含秀劲。宋米芾《海岳名言》评曰:“智永临集千文,秀润圆劲,八面具备”。又如苏轼所评:“精能之至,返造疏淡。”草书的每个字都是分开独立的,用笔精练,笔画肥劲,活泼生动;楷书方圆并用,结构紧凑,有晋人书风法度。“师远祖逸少,.......微尚有道之风,半得右军之肉。” 他继承并总结了“二王”正草两体的结体、用笔。
