What are the calligraphy works of Wang Xizhi's Preface to Lanting?

Preface to Lanting is also called Preface to Lanting, Preface to Lanting, Preface to He Lin, Preface to Zan and Zan Tie.

Preface to Lanting is the masterpiece of Wang Xizhi's running script, which is called "the best running script in the world" and also the masterpiece of China's calligraphy. Its appearance marks the complete maturity of running script and has a high historical position in the history of calligraphy.

Calligraphers of all ages regarded it as the supreme and regarded it as a model of copying and learning. The preface to Lanting Collection is not only superb in calligraphy art, but also very exquisite in text content, which has been included in the high school Chinese textbooks that we all studied at school.

Preface to Lanting Collection:

It is the dream of every calligrapher and the cultural feelings of every China person. Without reading the Preface to the Lanting Pavilion, we can't talk about the traditional culture of China. These short 324 words are the cultural sustenance of every China person. No wonder Mr Xiong Bingming said that "calligraphy is the core of China culture". I really suggest that everyone in China should get a pen and copy Wang Xizhi's Preface to the Lanting Pavilion whenever they have the chance. Go to Lanting Preface at least once in your life, practice calligraphy, and feel the purest Chinese studies and the core culture.

Because Wang Xizhi's "Preface to the Lanting Pavilion" has long been lost, it is said that it was brought into his mausoleum by Emperor Taizong. The Preface to Lanting Collection, which has been handed down now, was copied by later generations, and there are five versions of the famous copy.
