Ancient Calligraphy —— The Artistic Realm of Floating Clouds Leaking Ink

Floating like a cloud, agile like a dragon.

Analysis: Elegant as clouds in the sky, vigorous as Youlong in the sky.

These two sentences are from Cao Zhi's Ode to Luoshen. "Floating like a cloud, spirit like a dragon" is a praise for Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, which means that his calligraphy is natural, elegant and harmonious as a whole.
