With his father he makes up the
二王 'Two Wangs', the twin summits of Chinese calligraphy. The idiom
管中窥豹 'to see a leopard through a tube' comes from a story about him as a boy in 《
世说新语》: he commented on a game his father's retainers were playing, and they mocked him for seeing only one spot of the leopard.
