Wang Huizhi (338 – 386 AD), courtesy name Ziyou, was a scholar and calligrapher of the eastern Jin dynasty, and the fifth son of renowned calligrapher Wang Xizhi. Wang Huizhi was born into the Wang clan of Langya Commandery (modern Linyi, Shandong). Initially entering officialdom through hereditary privileges, he served as cavalry officer under Huan Chong in Xuzhou, staff officer under grand general Huan Wen, and later as yellow gate attendant. He was naturally proud and unrestrained, showing little enthusiasm for official duties, often wandering aimlessly. Eventually, he chose to resign from his official position and settled in Shanyin (now Shaoxing in Zhejiang Province).
Wang Huizhi was an accomplished calligrapher, having studied under his father since childhood. Critics held that "Huizhi achieves Xizhi's momentum (徽之得其势)."[1] His extant calligraphic works include the "Cheng Sao Bing Bu Jian Tie (承嫂病不减帖) " and "Xin Yue Tie (新月贴)" .
