Seventeen Posts by Wang Xizhi

Seventeen Posts is a group of Wang Xizhi's ruler slips.

It is named because of the words "17 days" at the beginning of the volume.

The content is full of characters in Shuzhong, mainly the letter written by Wang Xizhi to Zhou Fu, the governor of Yizhou.

Zhang Yanyuan of the Tang Dynasty recorded the collection of Seventeen Posts: "Emperor Taizong purchased the calligraphy of the two Wang.

Dawang Cao has three thousand papers. The rate is one zhang and two feet. The calligraphy and language are selected, and the two characters are used as the small seal." Seventeen Postsis a typical modern cursive script, the whole post is clearly lined, and the characters are mainly intermittent.

With the change of font size, line thickness, and oblique direction, the energy flow can be penetrated, and the shape is broken and the spirit is connected.

The style is striking and elegant, and the atmosphere is aloof.

Huang Bosi commented in the Song Dynasty: "This post is the dragon in calligraphy." Seventeen Posts is used as a cursive temporary study model, just as Huairen Ji Wangxi's Holy Religious Preface is a cursive temporary study model. "
