Is there a basis for "words are like people"

There is no basis at all! That is a kind of spiritual deception of corrupt scholars. Qin Gui, a famous traitor in ancient China, was the founder of Songti, and he was a more outstanding calligrapher than Wang Xizhi. Song Huizong Evonne, bad king, first-class calligrapher, Shoujinti was founded by Evonne. Treacherous court official Cai Jing was a great calligrapher in Song Dynasty, whose calligraphy was much higher than that of Su Shi, Mi Fei and Huang Tingjian, and also much higher than that of Cai Xiang. Li Si and Zhao Gao are both models of calligraphers and linguists, and they are the founders of Xiao Zhuan. Cheng Miao is the founder of official script. It is only the attack and rejection of Confucianism that these great calligraphers are not listed as their due status. The contribution of calligraphy and artistic culture should be decoupled from ideological and political evaluation, and the correct attitude and method is to look at the problem in two ways. According to the initiative and cultural value of calligraphy, the real ranking of the twelve calligraphers in China is: Li Si, Cheng Miao, Wang Zhong, Liu Desheng, Evonne, Qin Gui, Zhao Mengfu, Ou Yangxun, Wang Xizhi, Cai Jing, Mi Fei and Zhang Zhi (the first Cao Zhang). These twelve people are all pioneers or masters of calligraphy. Then Liu Gongquan, Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Yan Zhenqing, Zhang Xu, Huai Su, Cai Xiang, Dong Qichang, Zhao and others.
