关于王羲之的死,一种说法是因为长期服用五石散(差不多就是吸大烟)中毒而亡。这说法我不太赞成。一个大书法家,一个被称之为书圣的人,不说德艺双馨,怎么也不能坏在这事上。再说了,人家好歹活了59岁,那年头活这把年纪已不错,算长寿了。我认为王羲之的死与下面的情形有关。 About Wang Xizhi’s death, one argument is because long-term use of Wushi scattered (almost smoke is sucked) poisoned. I do not agree with this statement. A big calligrapher, a man who is called a book saint, can not say anything bad about it because he does not say that he has a double virtue. Besides, people are living anyhow, 59-year-old, that lively life that year has been good, count longevity. I think Wang Xizhi’s death is related to the following situation.
