How did Zheng Banqiao become a self-contained "garbage street"?

Only by creating something in work and life, getting rid of the mindset in your own mind, not following the footsteps of your predecessors, and finding a new road of your own, can you go further. Zheng Banqiao, one of the Eight Eccentrics in Yangzhou in Qing Dynasty, loved calligraphy since childhood. He copied the calligraphy styles of famous ancient calligraphers. After some hard work, he finally wrote something almost identical to his predecessors, and it can confuse people. But people don't appreciate his calligraphy very much, and he is in a hurry. He studies and practices harder than before. One summer night, he and his wife were sitting outside enjoying the cool. He wrote on his thigh with his finger and on his wife. His wife patted his hand angrily and said, "You have your body and I have mine. Why not write about your own body and others? " Zheng Banqiao was suddenly inspired by this sentence: Everyone has his own body, and writing has his own font, which is different! Why do I always learn other people's fonts instead of writing my own style? Even if you learn the same as others, it's just someone else's font. What is the point if you don't have your own style? From then on, he learned from the strengths of various schools, combined official script with seal script, grass, lines and model letters, and used paintings to write, eventually forming a "six books and a half" praised by refined customs, that is, "littering the streets and lanes", and became a famous painter and calligrapher with high reputation in the Qing Dynasty.
