Wang Xizhi (王羲之)

This scroll is one that mounted three works of Wang Xizhi together. Each of them is a passage that he wrote about or to one of his relatives or friends. Firstly, Ping-an is one written for his cousin. He-ru is to greet his friend and to tell him about his recent life. Lastly, Feng-ju is a message he attached to the tangerines he sent to his friends.
