Wang Xizhi, is regarded to be one of the most known Chinese calligrapher, known for his breathtaking arts of words. This man reminds, of Confucius bringing back order into society by declaring the way Wen and Wu and the Duke of Zhou, were the way to rule. Instead of going to the past politically like Confucius did, he look for previous dynasties and copied them. Leading to large amounts of calligraphic materials. Wang, born in a family of calligraphers, really seemed to understand what it was all about. It all makes me wonder how the rise of perfection in this time consuming art begin.
