Wang Xianzhi (344-386), courtesy name Zijing, was born in Shanyin. He was the seventh son of Wang Xizhi and a famous calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Because of his outstanding calligraphy skills, he and Wang Xizhi have always been called the "Two Kings", or respectfully called the "Little Sage". Wang Xianzhi once held official positions such as Prefectural Registrar, Secretary Lang, Secretary Cheng, Chang Shi, and Wuxing Prefect. After becoming Emperor Jianwen's consort, he was promoted to Zhongshu Ling (equivalent to prime minister). But his political achievements were average and far less prominent than the title of his book. The old friend called him "Da Ling". He is known as the "Little Sage" in the history of calligraphy, and is also known as the "Two Kings" together with his father.
