What are the short stories of famous calligraphers?

The stories of famous calligraphers are very short, including the story of Wang Xizhi dyeing the black pond. Wang Xizhi wrote in a letter to a friend that Zhang Zhi practiced calligraphy with the water in the pond, and even the water in the pond turned black. If people practice so hard, they may not catch up with Zhang Zhi.

From then on, Wang Xizhi doodled every day, and after finishing writing, he went to the pool at the door to rinse his pen. Over time, the water in the pool turned black, so people called this pool "Mo Chi".

According to records, Wang Xizhi has his Mo Chi in Lanting, Shaoxing, Xincheng Mountain in Linchuan, Jiangxi, Jigu Mountain in Yongjia, Zhejiang, Guizong Temple in Lushan, Jiangxi and other places.
