Does Shen's calligraphy surpass Wang Xizhi's? Why?

No. Wang Xizhi is a famous calligrapher in history and is known as the sage of calligraphy. His running script, cursive script and official script have far-reaching influence and are considered as one of the peaks of China's calligraphy. Shen's calligraphy works have certain artistic value, but compared with Wang Xizhi, his calligraphy attainments and influence are still lacking. Shen is a politician in China. He once held many positions in the government of China, including Vice Premier the State Council and State Councilor.
