In short, under the huge changes in the ideological and material levels, calligraphers emerged in endlessly during this period. The most representative and well-known one is Wang Xizhi. Wang Xizhi was the most prominent young talent of the Wang family at that time. When talking about Wang Xizhi, we have to mention the idiom "the son-in-law of the east bed is the quickest son-in-law" because this idiom comes from him. At that time, Xi Jian wanted to choose a young man from the Wang family to be his son-in-law. Xi Jian was an important official in the court. Which young man wouldn't want to be his son-in-law? So they all dressed up early and waited for him to choose. Only Wang Xi was lying bare-chested on the east bed. When Xi Jian heard that this boy was so special, he wanted to meet him. When he saw him, he found that he was well-educated and handsome, so he immediately made a betrothal gift. That's why it's called "East bed, quick son-in-law". Although Wang Xizhi had a good political background and resources, he did not like to engage in politics. Instead, he liked to focus on landscapes and practice calligraphy. Later generations were called the "Sage of Calligraphy". Is the emergence of Wang Xizhi inevitable? I think so.

Firstly, his prominent background allows him not to worry about other things and concentrate on his creation. Because of this, his calligraphy has a transcendent feel. Secondly, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is both forward-looking and realistic, making it a rare masterpiece. We say that the art of calligraphy is not only beautiful, but also its inner charm. Wang Xizhi's calligraphy opened up a new world that had never existed before and provided a source of creativity and open space for later calligraphers, so it is inevitable that he will be highly praised. Thirdly, Wang Xizhi was also a northern gentry. Although the northern aristocratic bureaucrats of the Jin Dynasty reestablished their dynasty in the south, they never integrated well into the southern gentry group, or in other words, they did not absorb the southern gentry group into their own group. middle. The emergence of Wang Xizhi solved this problem very well. As we all know, if you want to achieve identity with strangers, you must have a common understanding of culture, and Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is a carrier of the integration of the north and the south, which can make the gentry in the north and the south integrate with each other and stabilize them. The rule of the Jin Dynasty in the south. So of course his appearance is inevitable.
