Wang Xizhi was good at Li, Cao, Kai and Xing. He studied the postures carefully, copied them with his heart and followed them with his hands. Yu Yilu broke away from the writing styles of Han and Wei dynasties and became his own style with far-reaching influence. His calligraphy is gentle and natural, his writing style is euphemistic and implicit, and he is beautiful and vigorous. People often use Cao Zhi's "Luo Shen Fu": "As graceful as a startling giant, as graceful as a wandering dragon, with glorious autumn chrysanthemums, and luxuriant spring pines. As if covered by light clouds. "The moon is fluttering like snow in the flowing wind." is a sentence to praise the beauty of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy.

Later generations commented: "Floating like wandering clouds, powerful like a frightening dragon", "Dragon leaping over the Tianmen, tiger lying in the Phoenix Pavilion", "Nature is natural, and the gods are abundant."
