Wang Xianzhi is less famous, but more talented. Appreciated by the Prime Minister Xie An, he served as the chief book of the state government, a doctor, Stuart Zuo Changshi and a satrap, and was transferred to the minister of Chinese books, which was different from his younger brother Wang Min and was called the "big order".
Wang Xianzhi is proficient in calligraphy, famous for his running script and cursive script, and has a solid foundation in regular script and official script. In the history of calligraphy, Wang Xizhi and Wang Xizhi are both called "two kings" and "little saints". Together with Zhang Zhi, Zhong You and Wang Xizhi, they are called "the four saints in the book".
Zhang Huaiguan in the Tang Dynasty rated his book reviews as "first-class". At the same time, Wang Xianzhi is also good at painting, and Zhang Yanyuan's Notes on Famous Paintings of Past Dynasties in the Tang Dynasty called his painting "the first in China".
The influence of Wang Xianzhi's calligraphy;
Wang Xianzhi's calligraphy art is not conservative all his life, nor does he like long characters like his father. Wang Xianzhi's family studies hard. His poetry and calligraphy is a rising star in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. His cursive script is as skillful, graceful and romantic as his father Wang Xizhi, and his father and son are called two kings.
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".
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 stickers are cursive 15 characters * * * and silk.
