Life is nothing but life and death.

Wang Xizhi's Preface to Lanting Collection, an extended material, is highly praised by calligraphers in past dynasties and is known as "the best running script in the world". Wang Jian is good at following the laws of Li, Cao, Kai and Xing, carefully studying the shape, imitating the shape with his heart, learning from others' strengths, preparing everything in one furnace, getting rid of the style of writing in Han and Wei Dynasties, and becoming a family of his own, which has far-reaching influence. His calligraphy is peaceful and natural, and his brushwork is euphemistic and subtle.

In Cao Zhi's Ode to Luoshen, the world often uses it: "If you are amazing, if you are graceful, if you are a dragon, if you are brilliant, you are an autumn chrysanthemum, and if you are a spring pine in Hua Mao. It seems that if the moon is covered by light clouds, it will float like the wind flowing back to snow. " Praise the beauty of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy.

Legend has it that Wang Xizhi practiced calligraphy hard when he was a child. After a long time, the pool water used to clean the brush turned black. Later generations commented: "floating like a cloud, agile like a dragon", "the dragon leaps into the Tianmen, the tiger lies in the phoenix" and "it's natural, and the rich gods cover all generations". There are some idioms about Wang Xizhi, such as cleverness and quick marriage. The most obvious feature of Wang Xizhi's style of writing is exquisite brushwork and changeable structure.

Wang Xizhi's calligraphy has influenced bookstores from generation to generation. Ou Yangxun, Yu Shinan, Zhu Suiliang, Xue Qi, Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan in the Tang Dynasty, Yang Ningshi in the Five Dynasties, Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Mi Fei and Cai Xiang in the Song Dynasty, Zhao Mengfu in the Yuan Dynasty and Dong Qichang in the Ming Dynasty were all impressed by Wang Xizhi, so they enjoyed the reputation of "book saints".
