Wang Xizhi

Wang Xizhi (303-361), who lived in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (317-420), was the only calligrapher in Chinese history to be honored with the title of "Sage of Calligraphy". His most famous masterpiece was the Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection, which has been hailed as one of the world's finest pieces of running style calligraphy and is highly revered by generations of calligraphers.

Wang's calligraphy style is characterized by its gentle and natural flow, with brushstrokes that are elegant and subtle yet structurally varied. He was adept in various scripts, including clerical, cursive, regular, and running, and was able to draw inspiration from others to create a new style of calligraphy that departed from that of the Han and Wei dynasties. Wang's calligraphic legacy also extended beyond China, as his works were introduced to countries such as Japan and Korea during the Tang Dynasty (618-907) and exerted a profound influence on the development of calligraphy in these regions.

王羲之

東晉書(shū)法家王羲之（303—361），是中國(guó)歷史上唯一被冠以“書(shū)圣”的書(shū)法家，《蘭亭集序》是其最著名的代表作，被后人稱為“天下第一行書(shū)”，為世代書(shū)法家所景仰。

王羲之的書(shū)法平和自然，筆勢(shì)委婉含蓄，遒美健秀，用筆細(xì)膩、結(jié)構(gòu)多變，兼擅隸、草、楷、行各體，并能博采眾長(zhǎng)、融會(huì)貫通，擺脫了漢魏筆風(fēng)，自成一家，創(chuàng)造了一代書(shū)法新風(fēng)格，成為中國(guó)歷代書(shū)法家臨摹范本。在唐代，王羲之的書(shū)法傳播到海外，對(duì)日本、韓國(guó)等國(guó)的書(shū)法藝術(shù)發(fā)展影響深遠(yuǎn)。
