Chinese characters have been born for more than 6000 years. What China needs most is a calligrapher who writes Chinese characters. Throughout the ages, calligraphers have been on an equal footing with stars, and there are countless. To ask which is the best, it should be said that famous people have their own characteristics, and everyone is by no means one. Some people say Wang Xizhi, some people say Mi Fei, some people say Zhao Mengfu, some people say Lu Ji, some people say Wang Xianzhi, some people say Wang Xun and some people say Xie An.
Some say Yan Zhenqing, some say Liu Gongquan, some say Li, some say Sun, some say Chu Suiliang, some say He, some say Zhang Xu, some say Huai Su, some say Huang Tingjian, some say Ouyang Xiu, some say Wen, some say Zhu Yuanzhang, some say Wu Changshuo, some say Yu Youren, some say Guo Zhiruo, and some say Qigong. In a word, numbers are not clear and words can't be finished.
No calligrapher can surpass Wang Xizhi.
First, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is most in line with the aesthetic intention of China culture. One of the core of China's philosophy is to treat or deal with problems impartially and peacefully. However, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, whether original or cursive, can give people a harmonious, quiet, beautiful, natural and elegant artistic feeling. Therefore, in calligraphy culture, it has become the object of admiration of rulers of past dynasties, and even deified Wang Xizhi.
The second is to turn the past into a new contribution. As we all know, from the Han Dynasty to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, official and folk characters were official script and Cao Zhang. With the development of the times, these characters have not adapted to the requirements of the times, and as a representative figure of bringing forth the old and bringing forth the new, Wang Xizhi has completed and perfected the transformation process of the characters in his time from Li to Kai and from modern Cao. Thanks to the contributions of him and his colleagues, a new generation of Chinese characters in China was born. Until now, we are still using innovative fonts since the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It can be said that the benefits are in the future, and the merits are in the future.

Therefore, Wang Xizhi has a unique advantage in the creation of China's calligraphy art. The key figures connecting the past and the future are called "book saints". For example, taking regular script as an example, from the structural point of view, Wang Xizhi changed the previous official script and the horizontal style of official script into an elegant vertical format with neutral rhyme and beauty.
At the same time, Wang Xizhi's regular script simplified Zhong You's regular script and changed it into a convergent style. The brushwork began to be simple and lively, the internal structure was extended and the structure was changeable. Ou Yangxun, Yu Shinan and Chu Suiliang were great calligraphers in the Tang Dynasty.
They all developed their own characteristics on the basis of Wang Xizhi's inheritance. Later calligraphers of all ages were even more difficult to surpass. Ou Yangxun's running script draws on the power of the king. Bowing back won the king's wonderful brushwork, and the rhythm was wonderful.
