• Description:
  The wooden cover booklet page is bound with wood at the front and back, and the wooden cover is engraved with “Four Posts of Emperor Lin Wang Xizhi” and written in gold. The inner page is painted with lines of boundaries. Inside the lines are four pieces of calligraphy written by Emperor Qianlong on behalf of Wang Xizhi, namely “Prime Minister Anhe”, “Farewell”, “Yu Xiu”, and “Yuan Sheng”. These four pieces of calligraphy can be seen in the Song Dynasty’s “Daguan”, but they are four pieces of calligraphy written by Wang Xizhi at different times, so the style is slightly different. However, under the pen of Emperor Qianlong, not only did the style of the four posts differ little, but most of the knots were also square, without the original change of Wang Xizhi. It can be said that a variety of styles are included in the rules, and the skillful drafting of Emperor Qianlong also shows his diligence in calligraphy and calligraphy practice.
