"Seventeen Posts" is a representative work of cursive writing of the sage Wang Xizhi, named after the word "seventeen" at the frontispiece. The original ink has long been lost, and now only the engraved copy has been handed down in the world. Since the Tang and Song dynasties, the "Seventeen Posts" has always been the supreme model for people to learn cursive script, and has been regarded as "the dragon elephant in the book" by calligraphers. What I am sharing today is the volume of Zhao Mengfu's "Pro Seventeen Posts", which is a masterpiece of the calligrapher in his later years. The calligrapher is a cursive classic of Wang Xizhi at an advanced age, and he is particularly diligent.
