What are the characteristics of Mi Fei's calligraphy compared with Wang Xizhi's?

Mi Fei was a famous calligrapher, painter, painting theorist and a talented person in the Northern Song Dynasty. Therefore, he was able to combine poems, paintings and books, and founded "Midian Landscape" according to his own feelings. Mi Fei devoted himself to art all his life. For the sake of art, he was eccentric and charming, so he also had a nickname Mi Dian. Mi Fei and Wang Xizhi are both famous calligraphers in China, so what are the characteristics of their calligraphy?

Mifei is very accomplished in calligraphy. He is good at seal script, regular script, running script and cursive script. He is especially good at copying the calligraphy of the ancients, and even reached the level of confusing the fake with the real. Among Mi Fei's artistic achievements, calligraphy has the deepest employment, among which running script is the largest. Mi Fei's calligraphy was influenced by Yan Zhenqing, Chu Suiliang, Duan and others. From his handwriting, we can see the style of Jin and Tang Dynasties. Mi Fei's calligraphy is unpredictable in stippling lines and structure, and his calligraphy concept can be regarded as inferior to that of Tang Dynasty and Tang Dynasty. It mainly uses the side of the pen, the thickness, rigidity and flexibility of stippling in calligraphy, showing a variety of jumps.

Wang Xizhi is known as a "book saint" in China. Although Wang Xizhi was a former teacher, he did not imitate blindly, but absorbed the strengths of various calligraphers and achieved mastery. Therefore, his calligraphy posture is rich and unobtrusive, bold and elegant, combining rigidity with softness, and his posture is unwritten. Therefore, his calligraphy is just in line with the aesthetics of China people, so he is called the "book saint" of China.

Personally, I think that Mi Fei and Wang Xizhi's calligraphy have their own characteristics, but both of them have made great contributions to China's calligraphy art, and have had a far-reaching impact on China's later calligraphy.
