Brief introduction of Wang Xizhi
Wang Xizhi (303-36 1) was born in Linyi (now Linyi City, Shandong Province). Minister and calligrapher of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, son of Yin in Danyang, son-in-law of Jane, known as "Book Sage". His Preface to Lanting has become "the best running script in the world".
He is good at calligraphy, as well as official script, cursive script, regular script and other styles. He studied the style, imitated the hand and pursued it, learned from others' strengths, prepared the body and melted into one furnace, and got rid of the style of writing in Han and Wei dynasties, which had far-reaching influence. The style is peaceful and natural, the brushwork is euphemistic and subtle, and it is beautiful.
Li Zhimin commented: "Wang Xizhi's calligraphy not only shows simplicity and abstinence based on the philosophy of Laozi and Zhuangzi, but also shows harmony based on the Confucian doctrine of the mean."
