石渠寶笈三編(延春閣),第六冊,頁2800&唐太宗得〈蘭亭序〉墨蹟後,敕供名家搨摹,時以歐陽詢(五五七-六四一)所摹著者為最佳,遂刻石置於宮中。宋熙寧間(一0六八-一0七七)定武太守薛珦所搨之本,名〈定武蘭亭〉,據帖後袁桷跋,認為此帖為刻石入宣和內府後,搨賜王黻。曾經宋元名家收藏或題跋,一向是〈蘭亭序〉的名蹟。本帖字體端凝,和歐書〈化度寺碑〉接近。以薄紙搨,筆劃肥瘦適度,渾古而意態從容。&After T'ai-tsung (598-649) acquired Wang Hsi-chih's Orchid Pavilion Preface, he ordered famous calligraphers to make copies, the best of which was by Ou-yang Hsün. Carved in stone, it was displayed at court. Lost after the T'ang, it was not found until the 11th century, when Hsüeh Hsiang, Prefect of Ting-wu, made a rubbing-hence the name Ting-wu. Two versions exist, one with 5 characters missing. Though this is the latter, Yüan Chieh (1266-1327) felt it was the one given to Wang Fu after the stone entered the Hsüan-ho (1119-1125) collection. It is the most famous Preface version. The steady style is similar to Ou-yang's. The thin paper results in crisp archaic lines preserving Wang Hsi-chih's style.&353年王羲之和他的友人,在浙江會稽山陰的蘭亭舉行修禊雅集,曲水流觴,賦詩倡和,王羲之作序,即是〈蘭亭序〉。原蹟今已失傳,不過化身為無數的臨摹本與石刻拓本,成為歷代書法家學習行書的最佳範本。〈定武蘭亭〉拓本即其中一種,由於刻石在定武(今河北真定縣)發現,因此以定武為名。一般認為這是依據唐代重要書家歐陽詢摹本上石,是蘭亭諸刻中最好的刻帖。這件拓本從一些模拓的特徵和卷後題跋、鈐印來看,可能是十一世紀的拓本,也是目前僅存的完整的善拓本。 王羲之祖籍山東,出身仕族世家,西晉末隨父南渡,作過右軍將軍、會稽內史,東晉永和年間(三四五—三五六)去職,與東土名士盡山水之游。他熱衷詩歌、音樂與書法,學書的歷程是由近而古,轉益多師,取資廣博,尤其精研體勢,將秦篆漢隸各種不同的筆法融於真行草體中,形成最完美的體勢。這件書蹟雖然經過摹寫與刻拓,仍然可以看出王羲之行書兼有端莊與流麗的美感。文章的內容在表達豁達開朗的人生觀,書法也追求不激不厲,平和優雅的風度。(何傳馨)
