1. Wang Xizhi’s calligraphy is as floating as floating clouds and as graceful as a frightening dragon.
2. Yan Zhenqing’s calligraphy changed the ancient method and became a style of its own.
3. The calligraphy of Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, is thin and powerful. The strokes are thin and strong, and the writing is refreshing. The structure is tightened in the middle and divergent around, with heavy ups and downs. There are obvious folds at the turning points. The scars make the bones even more impressive.

The story of Wang Xizhi:
It is said that once, Wang Xizhi passed a bridge in Shanyin City (today's Shaoxing). An old woman was selling a basket of hexagonal bamboo fans at the market. That kind of bamboo fan was very simple, with no decoration, and it did not attract the interest of passers-by. It seemed that it could not be sold, and the old woman was very worried. When Wang Xizhi saw this situation, he sympathized with the old woman, so he stepped forward and said to her: "You have no paintings or words on this bamboo fan, so of course you can't sell it. How about I inscribe it for you?"
The old woman didn't know Wang Xizhi, so seeing his enthusiasm, she gave him a bamboo fan to write on. Wang Xizhi picked up his pen and wrote five words on each fan, then returned them to the old woman. The old woman was illiterate and felt that his writing was very sloppy and she was very unhappy.
Wang Xizhi comforted her and said: "Don't worry. Tell the person who bought the fan that it was written by Wang Youjun." As soon as Wang Xizhi left, the old woman did as he said. When people at the market saw that it was Wang Youjun's calligraphy, they all rushed to buy it. A basket of bamboo fans was sold out immediately.
