Wang Xianzhi, also known as Wang Daling, also known as Zijing, was a minor official slave. His ancestral home was Linyi, Shandong. He was born in Kuaiji (Shaoxing, Zhejiang). He was the seventh son of Wang Xizhi, the calligrapher and poet of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the son-in-law of Sima Yu, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty. Wang Xianzhi's official position was Zhongshu Ling. In order to distinguish him from his younger brother Wang Min, he was called Wang Daling and was called "Two Kings" together with his father.
Wang Xianzhi has been smart and studious since he was a child. He specializes in calligraphy in cursive script and is also good at painting. He practiced calligraphy with his father since he was a child, and he had great ambitions. Later, he also took Zhang Zhi and became one. Wang Xianzhi is famous for his running script and cursive script, but he also has a profound foundation in regular script and official script. His new calligraphy style, which is neither cursive nor cursive, is called "po style" or "one-stroke script". Yu Zhuo once said: "Cursive script descended from Zhang Zhi of the Han Dynasty. The masters of wonderful people and gods are just official slaves." His handed down cursive calligraphy treasures include "Yatou Wan Tie", "Mid-Autumn Tie", etc., all of which are copies of the Tang Dynasty.
His "Yatou Wan Tie" is written in cursive, with a total of fifteen characters, on silk. Wu Qizhen of the Qing Dynasty highly praised this calligraphy in his "Calligraphy and Painting Notes" and believed: "(This calligraphy) is elegant and upright, majestic and astonishing, and has a natural and interesting interest. It is a supreme masterpiece." His "Mid-Autumn Calligraphy" cursive work was Twenty-two words, the look is as new as new, and the feathers are auspicious, which is rare in the world. Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty included it in "Sanxi Tie" and regarded it as a "national treasure".
