Ya Tou Wan Tie [bw188.com]

Ya Tou Wan Tie is one of the representative works of Wang Xianzhi, an outstanding calligrapher in Eastern Jin Dynasty (316-420). Wang Xianzhi, the seventh son of Wang Xizhi, was well versed in calligraphy like his father. This piece is a short letter to his friend with only fifteen characters. Although the piece is a Tang Dynasty-era facsimile, the work still shows smooth strokes, gracious and delicate style of the original writer.
