What will you find when you put Wang Xizhi and Zhong You together?

Putting the same words of Wang Xizhi and Zhong You together, we will find that Wang Xizhi's words are very similar to Zhong You's posture in some aspects. The fundamental reason is that Wang Xizhi's teacher used to be a disciple of Zhong You, but Wang Xizhi also has his own characteristics, which are still very different.

It's also joys and sorrows. Sad? One of the characteristics of Wang Xizhi and Zhong You is that they are very intense. Moreover, they all combined their own understanding of the culture of Wei and Jin Dynasties with their own descriptions of calligraphy in this period. The reason is that both Wang Xizhi and Zhong You once followed a faction, that is, Cai Wenji's father? Cai Yong's faction. Cai Yong once gave his daughter the same level of calligraphy and painting as another person, and then Cai Yong's apprentice gave the essence of his calligraphy to Zhong You, and Zhong You gave her to Mrs. Wei, who gave the essence of this set of calligraphy to Wang Xizhi. Therefore, from this perspective, both Wang Xizhi and Zhong You learned calligraphy from Cai Yong School, and they basically followed the aboveboard calligraphy characteristics of Cai Yong. They basically inherited a school, and even Wang Xizhi once imitated the characteristics of Zhong You's calligraphy to a great extent.

However, due to the difference of personal experience and personal life, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is more of a comfort to the whole class and a concern for people's livelihood. Zhong You's calligraphy shows more concern for personal destiny and national destiny. Wang Xizhi, after all, is rich at home and doesn't need to worry about his personal life. Zhongyou needs to worry about his personal life, and his calligraphy performance will be different. This is why the two of them put the same word together in calligraphy for different reasons.

To sum up, Wang Xizhi's and Zhong You's words, put together, must be similar in general, but due to the different personal life and personal life background, they are different to a great extent.
