Zhong You had a great influence on the history of calligraphy in China, and has always been regarded as the originator of the history of calligraphy in China. He was the first person to write regular script in the history of calligraphy and made important contributions to the development of Chinese characters. Tao's Book History Society says: "The change of Wang Zhong can be divided into ancient and modern times, and the husband takes the ancient law as an official, but the present law can be used as a model." After Zhong You, many calligraphers competed to learn the clock body. For example, Wang Xizhi and his son have various clock styles. Later Zhang Chang, Huai Su, Yan Zhenqing, Huang Tingjian, etc. They all absorbed the length of the clock body and the essence of the clock theory from all aspects in calligraphy creation.
In a word, Zhong You occupies a very important position in the history of China's calligraphy and plays an important role in the emergence, development and evolution of China's calligraphy.
Zhong You (15 1 year -230) was born in Yingchuan Changshe, Yuzhou (now Changge, Henan), the minister of Cao Wei regime in the Three Kingdoms period, the great-grandson of Zhong You, and the father of Zhong Hui.

Cao Pi replaced Han and Ren Tingwei, and sealed the lofty township. Ming Di acceded to the throne and moved to be a teacher, known as "Zhong Taifu". Gong's calligraphy is unique, especially represented by Li and Kai. If books fly in the sea, cranes jump in the sky. Later generations commented that he was fascinated by his official career, which was very exciting. He and the great calligrapher Zhao Hu called him "Hu Fei Zhongshou". Also known as "Zhong Wang" with the King of Jinxi. On my deathbed, the teacher will say, "I think hard and learn to use a pen." Every time I see 10 thousand kinds, I paint, and I paint so intently. "
