王羲之

書法家

字逸少,號澹齋。生於三二一年,卒於三七九年;一說生於三○三年,卒於三七九年;另一說生於三○七年,卒於三六五年。東晉(317~420)書法家。瑯琊臨沂(今山東臨沂)人,後徙居會稽山陰(今浙江紹興)。曾任職右軍將軍、會稽內史,世稱王右軍、王會稽。早年從衛夫人習書法,後見前代名跡,遂博取眾長,草書師法張芝,正書學習鍾繇,後又遍學蔡邕、梁鵠、張昶等體,開創妍美流便之體,盡有隸、篆、行、草、飛、白諸體之妙,總百家之長,為古今書法第一人,世人尊為「書聖」,與鍾繇並稱「鍾王」,與其子王獻之並稱「二王」。
 所書《蘭亭序》被喻為天下行書第一,今僅存摹本;《快雪時晴帖》,藏臺灣臺北故宮博物院;傳世墨跡另有《奉橘帖》、《上虞帖》、《十七帖》、《黃庭經》、《姨母帖》等;日本東京宮內廳三之丸尚藏館收藏一份唐代(618~907)摹本,將《喪亂帖》、《二謝帖》和《得示帖》連成一紙。
 其深受佛教法義影響,創「意在筆前」之書論,據傳嘗書《佛遺教經》。唐太宗(626~649在位)曾親書《大唐三藏法師聖教序》,文末附《心經》,並命僧懷仁集王羲之行書成碑《集王字聖教序》、《集王字聖教序後心經》;開元九年(721),僧大雅集王羲之行書成碑,立於長安(今陝西西安)興福寺,今僅存殘碑,即今所指的興福寺殘碑,以上二碑現藏陝西西安碑林博物館。唐太和六年(832),唐玄序集王羲之行書成《集王字金剛經》,亦成碑刻傳世。
 此外,《歷代名畫記》記載王羲之:「書既為古今之冠冕,丹青亦妙。」畫跡有雜獸圖、臨鏡自寫真圖及扇上畫小人物。
