Taoist love
Wang Xizhi's calligraphy art has reached the height of "reaching the peak". The reason is closely related to Wang Xizhi's belief in Taoism and the unity of calligraphy and Taoism. Taoism, which was born and bred, produced Taoist symbols very early. When copying Confucian classics, it must be copied by students who are good at calligraphy, but in the process of writing Confucian classics, they are unconsciously influenced by Taoist culture.
Many Taoist scholars in history are famous painters and calligraphers. They are self-cultivation, proficient in Taoism, and will splash ink and put pen to paper. Wang Xizhi is a typical representative in this respect. He combined monasticism with calligraphy art, which brought out great artistic charm.
Wang Xizhi's Taoist belief has a profound family background. The Wang family is the most representative cultural gentry in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. I believe in Huang Lao's theory from top to bottom. The Book of Jin Volume Eighty Biography Fifty records that the Wangs are "proficient in books."
Taoist classics recorded the story that Wang Zijin, the founder of Wang Xizhi, yearned for the spiritual emptiness of immortals and marched to the 27th Cave of Tongbai Mountain in Jinting, the north gate of Tiantai (one of the 36th caves in Taoism). "On the Hidden Husband" records: "Because of the royal family, the descendants of the world like to cultivate the art of nature and immortality."
