I am starting the whole new series of articles entitled "Wizards of Ink", where I intend to talk about the famous calligraphers, both Chinese and Japanese ones. I will discuss there not only their masterpieces, but also their lives, personalities, or even some amusing anecdotes that surround them. The first one is about the Jin dynasty calligrapher, Wang Xizhi, a true wizard of ink indeed.

I am glad you enjoyed it! Definitely more is coming. There should be at least two more articles on Xizhi, and then I will start writing about other calligraphers.

Glad you enjoyed, Kirie. I upload all the updates done to the blog on our Facebook: Beyond Calligraphy - Main. Simply not enough time to post everything on the forums.

In this part I am writing about possibly the greatest calligraphy masterpiece ever written - The Preface to the Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion (窶披?凪?凖?ﾂ集ﾂ祥? pinyin: Lántíngjí Xù). Enjoy!

edit: I see that pinyin does not agree much with the site system...
