Untitled[edit]

The Further reading terms seem to have a typo of sorts. I can't find any reference online to Nakata, Yujiro. "The Masterpieces of Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi." In Chinese Calligraphy, edited by Yujiro Nakata. Translated by Jeffery Hunter, 116 - 118. New York, Tokyo and Kyoto: Weatherhill/Tankosha, 1983. It is not used in the text as source so it isn't problematic but maybe if anyone else can't find such references either it should be deleted.

"a fusion of the Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism"[edit]

You know you're reading bad Sinological scholarship when something is described as (yet another) "fusion of the Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism." In fact, through its allusions, the text criticizes both Confucius (in the phrase 死生亦大矣) and Zhuangzi (一死生). Sometimes conventional wisdom about "harmonious fusion" is so strong that it leads people to ignore the text right in front of them. 98.115.255.240 (talk) 09:30, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
