Qianzi wen (J., Senjimon, E. The Thousand-Character Classics), an ancient-style Chinese poetry book containing 250 four-character poems, was popularly used as textbook and copybook for reading and calligraphy in China in ancient times. Zhiyong (n.d.), the seventh-generation grandson of Wang Xizhi (307-365), wrote 800 books of Qianzi wen in standard and cursive scripts. Among them, this work, known as the Guanzhong edition, was copied in 1109 (Daguan 3) based on Xizhi's original, which was owned by the Cui family in Changan.
