Characteristics of regular script: Wang Xizhi's outstanding achievement in regular script is "changing the ancient into the shape", which has made positive contributions to the finalization of modern regular script. His regular script "ever-changing archaism" should be relative to Zhong You's regular script. Zhong You's original regular script should have been seen by Wang Xizhi at that time, and there was indeed a record of the declaration form. In Wang Xizhi's regular script, Zhong You's splashing brushwork disappeared and was replaced by a regular and symmetrical brushwork. Wang Xizhi extended the vertical pen downward to make it straight, and other stippling pictures echoed symmetrically, showing a tendency of vertical exhibition. Wang Xizhi's brushwork changed the beginning and end of the official brushwork of Zhong Shu. At the beginning of the brushwork, there was a disappointment, mostly because Fang Bi entered the paper; The pen collection place does not intentionally fold the pen and press it again, but gently lifts the tape back; In terms of pen speed, it is slow before and then urgent; In the form of strokes, it is neat and compact, like an array. After this transformation, the regular script font is in Wang Xizhi's hands, and the configuration relationship between strokes is basically established. The structure changes from horizontal to vertical, regular and vigorous, graceful and elegant, and generous. This is a huge change. After this reform, Wang Xizhi introduced regular script into the dignified and vivid "modern poetry" stage. This change was finally completed in the strict law of the Tang Dynasty.
Characteristics of running script: His "Lanting Tie" is rich in brushwork, vigorous in brushwork, even and smooth in speed, gorgeous in form, natural and implicit, harmonious and peaceful in structure, non-irritating and non-persistent. On the other hand, "Mourning Post" has a fast stroke speed, jumping to close the pen, grass in the line, connected words, intense emotions and vigorous strokes. These two posts are the representative works of Wang Xizhi's new running script, which became the "code" of running script and was followed by later generations. When Wang Xizhi's new running script came out, Zhong You's running script was both ancient and old. People in the Eastern Jin Dynasty advocated magnificence, and the trend of the times tended to be new and tired of the old. Wang Xizhi's running script became a model for dignitaries, nobles and literati to imitate, thus ending the era when Zhong You's running script unified the book world. Since then, the development of running script has basically not deviated from Wang Xizhi's rules and styles.
