Wang Xianzhi practiced calligraphy with his father since childhood, and he was very ambitious. Later, he regarded Zhang Zhi as a whole. He is famous for his running script and cursive script, but he also has a deep foundation in regular script and official script, because Tang Taizong didn't appreciate his works very much, and his works were not as many as his father's. The masterpiece "Thirteen Lines of Luo Shen Fu" handed down from ancient times is also called "Thirteen Lines of Jade Edition".
Wang Xianzhi's calligraphy art mainly inherited the family style, but did not stick to the rules and made a breakthrough. In his calligraphy works handed down from generation to generation, it is not difficult to see his inheritance of family studies and traces of his own new way. The predecessors commented on Wang Xianzhi's calligraphy "Dancing in the snow, Yue Long in the clear spring". Precise and ingenious, unexpected. "His pen, from" extension "to" extension ".
His cursive script is even more valuable. Yu Zhuo once said: "The cursive script was handed down from Zhang Zhi in the Han Dynasty, just a wonderful person and a slave." His cursive script Mo Bao handed down from generation to generation includes Duck Head Pill Post and Mid-Autumn Post, all of which are imitations of the Tang Dynasty. His "Duck Head Pill Tie" is a cursive script with the word * * * 15 in silk. Wu Qizhen praised this post in the Book of Calligraphy and Painting in the Qing Dynasty, saying: "(This post) calligraphy is elegant and straight, amazingly beautiful, naturally interesting, and it is the supreme product." His Mid-Autumn Post is a cursive script with 22 words. It looks new and rare in the world. Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty listed it as a "national treasure". He also created a "book", which turned his father's unconnected grass from top to bottom into connected grass, often a coherent number. Because of its magnificent calligraphy, it is valued by the world.
