Wang Youjun (Wang Xizhi) generally refers to Wang Xizhi (a calligrapher of the Eastern Jin Dynasty).
Wang Xizhi (303-361), courtesy name Yishao, was born in Linyi, Langya (now Linyi City, Shandong Province). A minister and calligrapher of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he was the son of Yin Wangkuang of Danyang and the son-in-law of Taiwei Xi Jian. He was known as the "Sage of Calligraphy".
With his family background, he entered the officialdom and served successively as secretary Lang, governor of Jiangzhou, prefect of Kuaiji, and general of the right army. He was known as "Wang Youjun". In the ninth year of Yonghe (353), the Lanting Gathering was organized. The "Lanting Preface" he wrote became "the best running script in the world". In the eleventh year of Yonghe (355), he abandoned his official position due to illness and moved to Jinting, Shaoxing. He died in the fifth year of Shengping (361) and was buried in Waterfall Mountain.
Three minutes into the wood
It is said that the emperor at that time wanted to go to the northern suburbs to offer sacrifices, and asked Wang Xizhi to write the congratulations on a wooden board, and then sent workers to carve it. The engraver chipped away at the wooden board layer by layer and found that Wang Xizhi's calligraphy ink had been printed all the way into the wooden board. He cut three-thirds of the way down before reaching the bottom. The carpenter marveled at Wang Xizhi's powerful brushwork, his superb calligraphy skills, and the strength of his brushstrokes that could penetrate three-thirds of the wood. "Three Points into the Wood" is derived from this story.
