A short story about celebrities who lost and gained.

Wang Xizhi practiced calligraphy hard. When Wang Xizhi was 13 years old, he accidentally discovered that his father had a calligraphy book called Shuobi and stole it to read. His father was worried that he was too young to keep his family heirloom secret, and promised to teach it when he grew up. Unexpectedly, Wang Xizhi knelt down and asked his father to allow him to read now. His father was very moved and finally agreed to his request. Wang Xizhi practiced calligraphy very hard, even eating and walking, and he really practiced all the time. Without pen and paper, he scratched on his body, and over time, his clothes were cut. Sometimes practice calligraphy to the point of forgetfulness. Once, when he practiced calligraphy, he forgot to eat, and his family sent the meal to the study. Without thinking, he dipped it in ink and ate it, still feeling very delicious. When the family found out, it was already dark. Wang Xizhi often writes in the pool, so he washes the inkstone in the pool. After a long time, the pool runs out of ink, so he is called "Mo Chi". At present, there are famous places like Lanting in Shaoxing, Xigushan in Yongjia, Zhejiang, and Guizong Temple in Lushan, which are called "Mo Chi". Da Vinci painted an egg (1452 ~ 1519), an Italian Renaissance artist, natural scientist and engineer. He was born in the town of Vinci near Florence, Italy. His father was a local notary and his mother was a rural woman, but he died early. He is also very beautiful and very lovable. When he was in primary school, his grades in all subjects were excellent, and some questions he raised in arithmetic class often made the teacher feel difficult. In his spare time, his hobby was painting. He actually drew lifelike snakes, bats, butterflies and grasshoppers on boards, floors and walls without a teacher's knowledge ... My father was very happy when he saw it. Everyone affectionately called him a "little painter". Finch's father didn't want his children to learn painting at first, but he hoped his son would follow in his father's footsteps and become a lawyer. But his son's extraordinary painting skills conquered his stubborn father. At the age of 14, his father finally happily sent him to Florence, the European art center at that time, to learn from the famous painter, sculptor and architect Ferrocchio. The teacher was very strict with his students. His teaching method is also very special. On the first day Leonardo da Vinci came to the studio, he learned to draw eggs, the next day he learned to draw eggs, and the third day he did the same. He painted endlessly, which was so boring that he painted for a year. He was tired of painting and thought, "What's the need?" Just draw a circle with one stroke. "Teacher Ferrocchio seemed to see through his mind at a glance and said to him," Don't think it's easy and simple to draw an egg, but it's wrong to think so. There are never two eggs with exactly the same shape among 1 eggs. Even if you look at it from a different angle, the shape will be different immediately ... So, if you want to accurately show it on the canvas, You have to work hard. "After listening to the teacher's teachings, Leonardo da Vinci understood the teacher's painstaking efforts and decided to keep practicing basic skills. He painted eggs early in the morning every day until the dead of night, and still painted eggs. After three years of hard work, Leonardo da Vinci's skills have grown greatly. His eggs are various and lifelike, and he has a keen sense of color and an accurate grasp of lines. The brush in his hand can absolutely obey his own will. The teacher was very satisfied with it. One day, Ferrocchio drew a picture of the baptism of Christ. He was very satisfied. When he was proud, he said to Leonardo da Vinci, "Finch, draw two more angels on this picture!" "Finch agreed happily, and soon drew two angels with lively and natural postures and vivid and soft facial expressions. The teacher was surprised when he saw them. By contrast, what a stiff and dull painting he made. He was happy and ashamed when he admitted in his heart that the students had surpassed him, so he even stopped painting and devoted himself to carving. Leonardo ended his apprenticeship and began to create independently. The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa are all his immortal masterpieces. The higher his painting achievements, the more serious his painting becomes. It is said that when Leonardo painted The Last Supper, he went to various occasions to observe the images and behaviors of gamblers, hooligans and criminals with great concentration in order to paint Judas, a traitor who betrayed Jesus. Finally, he found the means to make Judas panic and hold his purse in his hand. It is inseparable from years of hard work in painting eggs as a teenager. At the age of seven, Luo Binwang —— Luo Binwang (about 64 ~ 684) was born in Yiwu, Wuzhou (now Zhejiang Province), a writer in the Tang Dynasty. Together with Wang Bo, Yang Jiong and Lu Zhaolin, he was known as the "four outstanding figures in the early Tang Dynasty". He used to be a county official in Linhai, and later he rose up against Wu Zetian with Xu Jingye. After the defeat, he was defeated. In other words, he escaped into an empty door. There is a collection of Luo Binwang's works. Luo Binwang was young and talented, and he loved literature at an early age. He was good at observing things from the perspective of an innocent and lively child and grasping the characteristics to describe them. His childhood poems were naive, straightforward and full of spirituality. One day, Luo Binwang came to play by the river in front of his house. He saw a group of common geese again. They swam freely on the river like several gentlemen. Snow-white feathers, long necks, green water and red goose's feet slowly stirred the clear water waves. Suddenly, a goose craned its neck and called out "Goose" crisply, and then other geese sang to the sky. When King Luo Bin saw this scene, his heart thumped. A four-sentence poem: Goose, Goose, Goose, Xiang Tiange. White hair floats green water, and the red palm clears the waves. Repeatedly reciting this poem will not only bring out a colorful picture before our eyes, but also seem to be able to hear wonderful sounds: the children's call for geese, the geese's singing with their necks high and the geese's splashing in the water. We will feel the vitality of spring after reading it. Feeling the tranquility and sweetness of rural life, Luo Binwang was ambitious to make contributions since he was a child, and he was born with a chivalrous attitude. However, his life was bumpy. He once served as the chief editor for a long time, and soon went to prison for crimes, and he was depressed and abandoned his official position. Later, he helped Xu Jingye to crusade against Wu Zetian, and the draft "Generation of Xu Jingye spread to the world" became famous all over the world. Even Wu Zetian herself read it and lamented: Kong Rong let pear Kong Rong have five brothers and one younger brother when she was a child. One day, I ate pears at home. A plate of pears was placed in front of everyone, and my brother asked my brother to take it first. Guess what kind of pear Kong Rong took? He didn't pick the good one, didn't pick the big one, only took the smallest one. Dad was very happy when he saw it. Although the child is only four years old, he is really sensible. He deliberately asked Kong Rong, "There are so many pears that you have to take them first. Why don't you take the big one and only the smallest one?" Kong Rong replied: "I am young and should take the youngest;" The big one is reserved for my brother. " The father asked him again, "You still have a younger brother, isn't he younger than you?" Kong Rong said, "I'm older than my brother. I'm my brother. I should leave the older one for my brother." Look, how well Kong Rong speaks. His father laughed: "Good boy, good boy, really a good boy." Kong Rong is four years old and knows how to make pears. Give way to your brother and give way to your brother. Everyone speaks highly of him.

When he was seven or eight years old, his father told him to herd cattle on the ridge, and he secretly ran into the school to listen to students. After listening, I always remember it silently. When he came home in the evening, he forgot all the cattle he was grazing. Someone led Wang Mian's cattle to Wang Mian's house and blamed the unattended cattle for trampling on his field. Wang Mian's father was furious and whipped Wang Mian. After that, he is still like this. His mother said, "The child is so obsessed with reading, why not let him?" Wang Mian has since left home and stayed in a temple. At night, he came out secretly and sat on the Buddha's knee, reading with a book in his hand by the light of the ever-burning lamp in front of the Buddha, and the sound of the book read until dawn.

Kuang Heng is diligent and studious, but there is no candle lighting at home. There are candles in the neighbor's house, but the light can't reach his house, so Kuang Heng chiseled a hole in the wall to attract the light from the neighbor, so that the light can shine on the book to read.
