Huai Su chose to become a monk at the age of 10, and later became a famous calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty. He is most famous for his weeds and is called a sage in the grass. But at the beginning of becoming a monk, because my family was poor, I had no money to buy pens, ink, paper, inkstones and the like. At first, he practiced writing on the wall or floor of the temple. At that time, there were 10,000 banana trees in the backyard of the temple. Every time Huai Su practiced calligraphy, he would pick banana leaves and write on them. He practices like this very diligently every day, but I didn't expect that one day he would pick all the leaves of the banana tree, leaving those small ones reluctant to pick them. Huai Su was very upset. Later, he thought of another way, holding pen and ink to the banana garden, standing under the banana tree and writing on the banana leaves. In this way, no matter whether it is the scorching sun in summer or the ice water in winter, there is not a day without doing it. Perhaps it was his spirit of hard work that eventually made a generation of calligraphy masters.

Although Huai Su is a monk, he likes drinking as much as Zhang Xu. Zhang Xu acts like a madman every time he drinks, so people sometimes call him Zhang Dian. Huai Su likes drinking sometimes, and even got drunk one day. But Huai Su prefers to write about weeds after drinking. He has some white houses in the temple. Every time he is drunk, he writes in it. At this time, his "Wild Grass" is excellent, so some people call it "Chasing Crazy". There are many short stories about Huai Su's diligent calligraphy. For example, there is a pool near where he lives. It is said that every time Huai Su practices calligraphy, he will wash the brush and inkstone in this pool, which will be dyed black after a long time, so this pool is also called Mo Chi. Huai Su impressed me as much as his calligraphy, because he likes drinking. Every time he drinks too much, he starts to write. He can only write where he can, such as utensils, clothes or walls and desktops.
By practicing calligraphy, we can see that Huai Su is still a devoted person. After he found it interesting to practice calligraphy, he kept practicing calligraphy every day and never gave up halfway. Only by doing this can Huai Su become a great calligrapher. By practicing calligraphy, we can also see that Huai Su is a diligent person and never gives up halfway. He only has time to practice and is never afraid of hard work. As long as he feels that his writing is not good, he will practice again and again until he is satisfied. Finally, I learned a good hand. Because there was no spare manuscript paper to write, Huai Su came up with a good way to provide himself with materials for practicing calligraphy. So he began to plant banana trees. When the banana trees grew up, he picked the leaves and practiced calligraphy on them. Therefore, Huai Su is still a very smart and flexible person.
When you learn calligraphy, you learn to persist. Success is not achieved overnight, but accumulated over time.
