Wang Xizhi, known as the "sage of calligraphy", was a calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He was good at official script, regular script, cursive script and other fonts. He developed his own school in calligraphy and had a far-reaching influence on later generations. When it comes to Chinese calligraphers, we have to mention Wang Xizhi, a "book saint". He was born in a noble family and lived a very rich life. He practiced calligraphy since childhood and made great achievements in calligraphy creation.

Interesting story about Wang Xizhi's life: Chi Jian had a daughter who wanted to choose a son-in-law. When looking for a son-in-law at Prime Minister Wang's house, all the sons of the Prime Minister's house rushed forward. Only Wang Xizhi was lying on the east bed, and he didn't care at all. This behavior made Chi Jian decide to choose him. When they met, they were humble and polite, and the two families decided to get married. Later, when Wang Xizhi and young talents were studying, the Preface to Lanting was even more famous in the world. Later, he called himself ill and abandoned his official position. He traveled with friends and made great efforts to create works until the Eastern Jin Dynasty was leveled for five years, and Wang Xizhi passed away.

Wang Xizhi's life achievement: "Wang Xizhi didn't dish mud at the feet of his predecessors, painting gourds in the same way, but used his own heart and hands to make the ancients serve me, not sticking to the past and not turning back on the present. He used all the different brushwork of the Qin and Han seal script from the Expo in his life, all of which were integrated into the true cursive style, thus forming the best posture of his time, bringing forth the new and opening up a new world for future generations. This is the reason why Wang Xizhi is respected for "combining various laws and preparing a family." -Quoted from Baidu Encyclopedia. This is Shen Yinmo's evaluation of Wang Xizhi.

Wang Xizhi has made a great contribution to the development of Chinese calligraphy, and has a strong influence on the future generations to learn and develop calligraphy.
