Name five ancient calligraphers and painters and tell their stories. What is the secret of their success?

Wang Xizhi was born in Linyi (now Shandong). Jin Huaidi was born in Yongjia (AD 307) and died in Xingning (AD 367). The officers of the right army generals will review the internal history, so later generations will call it "Wang Youjun". He came from a noble family in the Jin Dynasty. When Wang Xizhi was twelve years old, he was taught the theory of brushwork by his father, and he realized that "language is based on the outline". When I was a child, I studied calligraphy under the famous female calligrapher Mrs. Wei at that time. Later, he crossed the river to the north, visited famous mountains, learned from others, observed and studied "combining various laws and preparing a family", and reached the height of "being more expensive than others and being the first in ancient and modern times". Wang Xizhi's regular script, such as Le Yi Lun, Huang Ting Jing and Dong Fangshuo Hua Zan, was famous in the Southern Dynasties and had a great influence on later generations. Wang Xizhi is an innovator in calligraphy, and his main achievements are in running script and cursive script. His cursive script is honored as "the sage of grass" by the world. He combined some advantages of using the brush and Guan Zi scattered in ancient and contemporary calligraphy works to become a brand-new calligraphy work.
