Wang Xizhi is down-to-earth, diligent and fair. Being a politician is not annoying, inaction is the way. In today's words, it means no tossing, no high pressure and so on. But there is no drastic reform. Just let nature take its course. Judging from the commemoration of his letters, he is sympathetic to the people's feelings and takes care of the overall situation. In case of natural disasters, open warehouses, release food and help people.
Wang Xizhi is wild. He just ignores people he doesn't like and offends them completely. It can be confirmed from the communication with Wang Shu. Wang Shu died, and he has been looking forward to Wang Xizhi's condolences. But Wang Xizhi only went once, symbolically. Generally speaking, friendship is good. At that time, it took three years to be filial. Wang Shu waited for Wang Xizhi for more than a year and didn't go again. Later, with resentment, he suppressed Wang Xizhi everywhere.
Finally, he made an ugly face, and Wang Xizhi resigned in a rage. Of course, the more important reason is that Wang Shu and his family helped the emperor gather centralization, and Wang Xizhi, the most powerful family in the early days, was suppressed in various ways. The struggle between power and profit is cruel. His uncle rebelled and was almost wiped out. There are also incidents in which children are poisoned by political opponents. Reality is always very specific.

Anecdotal allusions
Legend has it that the emperor at that time went to the northern suburbs to offer sacrifices and asked Wang Xizhi to write his congratulatory message on a board, and then sent workers to carve it. The sculptor cut the board layer by layer and found that Wang Xizhi's calligraphy ink had been printed into the board. He didn't reach the bottom until he cut into a depth of three points. Woodworkers are amazed at Wang Xizhi's pen power, perfect calligraphy skills and his pen power. Cut to the chase is derived from this story.
The influence of later generations
Wang Xizhi's calligraphy has influenced bookstores from generation to generation. The establishment of Wang Xizhi's calligrapher status has its evolution process. Calligraphers in Taishigong period of Southern Song Dynasty said in the book list: "Han, Wei, Zhong (Yi) and Zhang (Zhi) were good at beauty, and the two kings were called English at the end of Jin Dynasty." The title of the Right Army was unparalleled at that time, and Wang Xianzhi was the highest-ranking person in calligraphy during the Song and Qi Dynasties. Concentrated on learning books from his father, he was very talented and sensitive to innovation. He transferred to Zhang Zhi and created a cursive script that runs from top to bottom. He even surpassed his father and became a saint, and he was called "two kings" with his father.
