2. In the Jin Dynasty (AD 353), Wang Xizhi, a book sage, made friends at the foot of Zhu Lan Mountain in Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and wrote "the best running script in the world". Emperor Taizong admired him very much and personally wrote The Book of Jin Wang Xizhi, praising him as "perfect". I will also send copies to nobles and trusted ministers, and I will bury them with the original.
3. The Preface to Lanting consists of 28 lines and 324 words. The whole article is charming and elegant, and the words are exquisite. Guidance is like dancing, and God helps people. It has always been regarded as the best in the world of calligraphy. Mi Fei, a great calligrapher in Song Dynasty, called it "the first post of China's running script". Anyone who studies running script in the future will fall in love with Lanting.
