Wang Xizhi's Preface to Lanting, please

In the Jin Dynasty, elegance and quality were advocated in life, and the beauty of moderation and simplicity was pursued in art. Calligraphers came forth in large numbers, and bamboo slips were the two kings (Wang Xizhi. Wang Xianzhi) Yan Fang's exquisite artistic taste caters to the requirements of literati, and people increasingly realize that writing has aesthetic value. Wang Xizhi, the most representative of the spirit of Wei and Jin Dynasties, is the most influential calligrapher in the history of calligraphy and is known as the "sage of calligraphy". Wang Xizhi's running script "Preface to Lanting" is known as "the best running script in the world", and critics say that his writing style is like a cloud and agile as a dragon. His son's "Ode to Luo Shen" is magnificent, creating a "broken style" and "a book", which is a great contribution in the history of calligraphy. Driven by Lu Ji, Wei and Jin Dynasties, Suo Jing, Wang Dao, Xie An, Liang Jian and other calligraphy families, Nanzong calligraphy flourished. Yang Xin, Qi, Xiao Ziyun and Chen of Liang in the Southern Song Dynasty were all his followers.

At the peak of calligraphy in Jin Dynasty, it was mainly manifested in running script, which was a font between cursive script and regular script. His representative works "Three Wishes", namely "Yuan Bo Tie", "Sunny Tie in Fast Snow" and "Mid-Autumn Festival Tie".
