His calligraphy is vigorous and beautiful, combining rigidity with softness, and few calligraphers in later generations can surpass Wang Xizhi. So many people who study calligraphy take his handwriting as a model. Although his handwriting is so good, it has something to do with his talent, but the most important thing is his hard practice.
