Wang Pet seems to be a natural artist. His artistic talent is manifested in what he does. It is said that he saw that the silversmith made a beautiful silverware, and he made it by himself, and when he did it, he was better than the silversmith. When he was in his 30s, Wang favored a Qinglou star, because he could not buy a satisfactory gift, he woven his own skirt and made his own gold jewelry to give, the star was happy and broken, and immediately wanted to elope with him.
These plump artistic cells fell on the calligraphy, and soon the king's pet shone brightly. He enlightened cai yu, and then traced the Jin people from Zhiyong and Yu Shinan, and finally found his home in Wang Xianzhi. Da Ling's outward dashingness deeply trapped the king's pet, and the doom of the early death of the great ling also fell on the head of the king's pet. The beautiful characters, but the heavens are not favored, only forty years old, wang pet died in a hurry, becoming a big regret in the history of calligraphy.
