What are the characteristics of Wang Xizhi?

Wang Xizhi was good at Li, Cao, Kai and Xing. He studied the styles carefully, imitated them with his heart and followed them with his hands. He picked up the strengths of others, prepared various styles, and refined them in one furnace. He got rid of the writing styles of the Han and Wei dynasties. , a family of its own, with far-reaching influence. His calligraphy is gentle and natural, his writing style is euphemistic and subtle, and he is beautiful and graceful.

It is said that Wang Xizhi practiced calligraphy so hard when he was a child that the pond water used to clean his brushes turned into ink color over time. Later generations commented: "Floating like wandering clouds, powerful like a frightened dragon", "Dragon leaping over the Tianmen, tiger lying on the Phoenix Tower", "Nature is natural, and the gods are abundant." There are idioms about him such as penetrating wood three points, east bed fast son-in-law, etc. The most obvious feature of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy style is his delicate brushwork and changeable structure.

Wang Xizhi’s calligraphy influenced his descendants. Wu Zetian tried to ask for Wang Xizhi's book, and Wang Xizhi's ninth great-grandson Wang Fangqing submitted ten volumes of the writings of twenty-eight people from the eleventh generation to his great-grandfather, and compiled them into "Long Live Tongtian Tie". In the Southern Dynasties, the Qi kings Sengqian, Wang Ci and Wang Zhi were all descendants of the royal family and had Dharma books recorded.

Shi Zhiyong was the seventh grandson of Xi. He passed down the family method wonderfully and was a famous calligrapher in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. During the war, his descendants were in chaos and their family tree was lost. They were distributed in Shenyang, Helen and other places. It is now known that his descendants include Wang Qingkai, Wang Xiaodan and others.
