Wang Xizhi said: "I have been studying the calligraphy of famous artists recently. Zhong You and Zhang Zhi are really superb, and the rest are not worth seeing. " It can be said that after the death of Zhong You and Zhang Zhi, Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi inherited them. Wang Xizhi added, "Compared with Zhong You and Zhang Zhi, my calligraphy is comparable to or slightly better than that of Zhong You.

"This is recommended and you want to go beyond the clock. Looking at Wang Xizhi's father and son's specialization in calligraphy, although they did not fully understand the testimonies of their predecessors, they could learn from various calligraphy styles, which is worthy of being a calligraphy career.

Another cloud said, "My book is like a clock, and the clock should resist or say. Cao Zhang is still a wild goose.
