"The Thousand-Character Essay" was originally called "Ciyun Wang Xi's Book of Thousand-Character Essays". Legend has it that during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty Xiao Yan (464-549) ordered people to copy a thousand unique characters (jie and 絜 are synonyms) from the inscription written by Wang Xizhi for the princes to learn calligraphy. Later, Zhou Xingsi, the Minister of Foreign Sanqi, was ordered to compile it into verses that are easy to read.
