There are few original works of Zhang Zhi's calligraphy. Only the Song Dynasty's Spring Pavilion Post contains two volumes and five posts by Zhang Zhi. Whether these are genuine or counterfeit products is controversial, and it is still difficult to draw a conclusion.
2. Wang Xizhi-"Seventeen Posts"
Originally from Linyi Langya (now Shandong), he moved to Yin Shan (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang). He was a great calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and was honored as a "book saint" by later generations.
Representative works include: Le Yi Lun in regular script, Huang Ting Jing, Seventeen Guas in cursive script, Gua for Aunt in Running Script, Gua for Quick Snow Clear, Gua for Mourning, Preface to Lanting in Running Script, etc. Intensive study of body posture, imitation of heart and pursuit of hand, learning from others' strengths, and casting in one furnace created a running script of "natural, rich in gods and the world", which was praised as "the sage of books" by later generations.
3, Wang Xianzhi-"Duck Head Pill Post"
Wang Xianzhi's calligraphy art mainly inherited the family style, but did not stick to the rules and made a breakthrough. In his calligraphy works handed down from generation to generation, it is not difficult to see his inheritance of family studies and traces of his own new way.
His cursive script Mo Bao handed down from generation to generation includes Duck Head Pill Post and Mid-Autumn Post, all of which are imitations of the Tang Dynasty. His "Duck Head Pill Tie" is a cursive script with the word * * * 15 in silk.
4. Sun Shu Pu
He is the author of Book Score, which won the purport of calligraphy. Sun's calligraphy, tracing back to the "two kings", is adopted by others and combined into one to express his own meaning. His brushwork is standardized, his statutes are great, and he has a legacy of Wei and Jin Dynasties.
5, Zhang Xu-"Four Poems"
Zhang Xu's calligraphy began with Zhangzhi and Erwang, with cursive script as the highest achievement. History is called "the sage of grass". He himself is proud of inheriting the tradition of "two kings" and writes very well. On the other hand, he imitated Zhang Zhi's cursive art and created an unpredictable wild grass, which shocked the world.
