Sometimes there is a break between the strokes of running script, and the strokes are not even connected. The basic strokes of Wang Xizhi's running script must pay attention to three points: first, stippling should have a strong sense of hierarchy, second, it should have a sense of texture, and third, the ties and folds between stippling should be natural and smooth.
Longevity means very long, so many calligraphers will deliberately write long words when writing longevity, which is also a blessing for longevity. Birthdays are also an important part of China's traditional culture. Sixty years old is called Shoushou, 80 years old is called Zhongshou and 100 years old is called Longevity. Another example is Happy Birthday at 77, Mishou at 88 and Bai Shou at 99.
At the age of seven, Xi Zhi Zhi was a good book. At the age of twelve, he stole the pen theory of the previous generation from his father's pillow. His father, Wang Kuang, is good at deeds and official books; Uncle Wang Xun is good at calligraphy and painting. He once commented in Lun Shu: "Before crossing Jiangdong and the right army, Xun was the most important, painting was the teacher, and Wen was the right army. Wang Xizhi was deeply influenced by the Wangs in calligraphy since he was a child.
Legend has it that Wang Xizhi practiced calligraphy hard when he was a child. After a long time, the pool water used to clean the brush turned black. Later generations commented: "floating like a cloud, agile like a dragon", "the dragon leaps into the Tianmen, the tiger lies in the phoenix" and "it's natural, and the rich gods cover all generations". The most obvious characteristics of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy style are exquisite brushwork and changeable structure.
