Wang Dao is Wang Kuang's cousin and uncle of Wang Kuang's son Wang Xizhi. Wang Dao, the prime minister in the early years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was a famous politician, calligrapher and one of the great calligraphers in history. Wang's family has a deep relationship with calligraphy, and his nephew is Wang Xizhi, a famous "book saint" in history.
Wang Dao attached great importance to calligraphy and often taught the Wangs to respect the harmony of calligraphy. As Wang Xizhi's uncle, Wang Dao must have made such outstanding achievements in calligraphy later, which is also inseparable from his guidance. Wang Dao's excellent calligraphy works have been handed down to this day, including Convenient Sticker and Gaishuo Sticker, among which Gaishuo Sticker has become one of the models in the development of cursive script.
character introduction
Wang Dao has a deep relationship with calligraphy, and it is the "capable calligraphy" in cursive script, which can add luster on the basis of predecessors, thus leaving a legacy for future generations. Judging from Wang Xizhi's parents, everyone is a master of calligraphy, and the inheritance of brushwork in history is not so unbearable, but only a few people inherit it. Wang's family, famous families, all got the brushwork, or they all have the same brushwork.
One of the most important teachers in Wang Xizhi's life is also his uncle and prime minister Wang Dao. Looking at Wang Dao's words, they are not inferior to Wang Xizhi in breath and phonology, and even worse. The works of Wang Jia and Wang Dun are the same style. Wang Tian's De Tie Shi is lively and elegant in style, which is no different from Wang Xizhi's classic Seventeen Ties.
