Wang Xianzhi can be called "two kings" with his father Wang Xizhi, which shows the essence of his calligraphy. Besides, unlike Wang Xizhi, Wang Xianzhi is more conservative. Wang Xianzhi is committed to creation and innovation, and has his own unique views on the innovation of calligraphy fonts, and he is also willing to study this aspect. It is because of his personality that he has made outstanding contributions to the modern model and modern grass since Wei and Jin Dynasties. Mi Fei once praised Wang Xianzhi for surpassing Wang Xizhi in brushwork.
Wang Xianzhi's calligraphy attainments are profound and far-sighted. His suggestion to persuade his father to change the font was put forward at the age of 15, when his youth and depth of thought were amazing. However, it is Wang Xianzhi's viewpoint that is very novel. Wang Xianzhi himself also pays attention to the innovative activities of calligraphy and deeply studies the internal relations between calligraphy fonts.
Wang Xianzhi's temperament is more free and easy than his father Wang Xizhi's, and he is detached and uninhibited. Wang Xianzhi's calligraphy strokes are faster, and emotions are mixed between the lines, which adds to the author's thoughts and feelings. Wang Xianzhi's cursive script has infinite tension, and his brushwork is full of hearty feeling, vigorous and powerful, which is completely different from Wang Xizhi's style.
