Zhang Rong, a native of the Southern Dynasties, is not good in appearance, but has extraordinary intelligence. He is good at poetry, calligraphy and painting, and is especially good at cursive writing. His works are unconventional and original. He behaves in a noble manner and only associates with people who have real talents and insights. Otherwise, even the princes and nobles will not look down upon him. Emperor Xiao Daocheng of the Southern Dynasties admired him very much when he was a captain in the previous dynasty. Xiao Daocheng was proficient in military strategy and outstanding in literary talent, which won Zhang Rong's admiration, so the two became good friends. After Xiao Daocheng established the Southern Qi regime and became emperor, the two often discussed issues in the field of literature and art together.
One day, the two discussed calligraphy again. After appraising the characteristics of several famous calligraphers, the emperor commented on Zhang Rong's calligraphy. He said: "Your calligraphy is quite elegant, but it still lacks the standards of the two kings (Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi)." Zhang Rong laughed. "Your Majesty only saw that Zhang Rong lacked the laws of the two kings, but did not see that the two kings lacked the laws of Zhang Rong." The emperor was shocked when he heard this, then pointed at Zhang Rong and said with a smile: "I can only take it from your mouth. You said such strange words, okay, tell me your reasons." Zhang Rong said: "A man stands between heaven and earth. He wants to edit the "Poems" and "Books" and formulate the "Li" and "Li" to Confucius. Like "Joy", we open up new paths, create original styles, and the works we launch must have our own unique style and rules. How can we stick to the old ways, pick up other people's wisdom, and rely on others? It's not that I haven't absorbed the rules of the two kings, but I have transformed them into my own rules. "It's a pity that the two kings can't absorb my laws and transform them again." The emperor had to nod in admiration after hearing this. >Related reading》》》》》What does it mean to tie a ring with grass and a ring on it? The idiom story of tying a ring with grass and a ring on it
