Selected calligraphy of two kings:
Selected Calligraphy of Two Kings is a book published by Henan Fine Arts Publishing House in August, 2007 by Baima and Chen. This book mainly collects the excellent works of Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi.
After the efforts and expansion of many calligraphers in Wei and Jin Dynasties, and the integration and innovation of Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi, cursive and running scripts began to be displayed in new ways and gradually finalized. Because the two kings and their sons emphasized the use of pen, the pen gesture continued, the structure was rich in changes, the lines were smooth, and they had great charm, thus getting rid of Cao Zhang's waves and the rigidity of writing procedures, making writing more free and interesting.
For more than 1000 years, cursive script, with its vertical and horizontal posture, ups and downs, elegance and charm, has become a widely used writing form for later calligraphers. It can be said that the two kings and their sons initiated the great beginning of expressing emotion in books and really raised calligraphy to an artistic level.
