| Additional information |
Part of China's ongoing Calligraphy Art series, this issue highlights the xíngshū (running script) style — a cursive hand that emerged during the Han dynasty and became the dominant mode of educated writing through the Tang and Song periods. Wang Xizhi's fourth-century work is generally considered the aesthetic benchmark against which all running script is measured, a judgment that has gone essentially unchallenged in Chinese scholarly tradition for over 1,600 years.
