Thousand- Character Classic In Regular and Cursive Scirpts is a representative work of Zhi Yong and also a famous masterpiece in the history of Chinese calligraphy. With rigorous rules and vigorous strokes, the characters are either independent with their own features or interconnected with each other. With every fall and break properly written, this copybook embodies the principle of "thoughts preceding brushes and practice making perfect" and achieves the artistic conception of "changing with composure." Representing the gentility and elegance of southern calligraphy in the Sui Dynasty, this copybook inherits and summarizes the structure and arrangement of the regular and cursive scripts of Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi, establishing itself as a norm in the style of Chinese calligraphy.
