Brief introduction of Wang Xizhi's thousand-character works

Wang Xizhi's thousand-character writings show the powerful influence of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy in the Southern Dynasties, which can be seen in the compilation and writing of thousand-character writings. In the Southern Dynasties, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy works have always been used as the characters in a calligraphy book, so Qian Dengzi Collection was created to collect and sort out Wang Xizhi's words. Qian (535-545) was compiled in Datong County, Liang Wudi. It was compiled by Zhou Xingsi, a famous scholar in Liang Wudi who loved Wang Xizhi's calligraphy very much, and selected 1000 non-repetitive words from Wang Xizhi's calligraphy handed down from generation to generation. Legend has it that it took Zhou Xingsi one night to complete the arrangement. His hair and beard turned white, so he was awarded by Liang Wudi. Another version of Qian Zi Wen was compiled by Xiao Zifan (486-549), the younger brother of Nanping people, but it has been lost today. After the publication of thousands of words, calligraphers continued to write, among which Xiao Ziyun and Wang Xizhi's seventh Sun Zhiyong were the most famous. Qian Zi Wen was written by Xiao Ziyun at his request and presented to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but the original is no longer in existence. Zhi Yong wrote "Thousand Characters", but there are ink and block printing that have been passed down to this day.
