During the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, there was a king who learned the book of the Right Army and got the dharma. The emperor listened to politics and attached importance to calligraphy, and sent several attendants to show them books. Every time he thought that he was not good, Emperor Taizong deliberately went to school. Ask again, as before. Or ask what it means and write: "The book is solid. If it is called goodness, I am afraid that the emperor no longer has this intention. " Later, the emperor's brushwork was excellent, surpassing ancient times, and the world thought it was conducive to rules.
Translation:
When Song Taizong was in power, a man named Wang Zhu learned Wang Xizhi's calligraphy and got its essence. He works as a library assistant in the Hanlin Academy. In addition to dealing with political affairs, the emperor also paid attention to practicing calligraphy. On several occasions, he sent eunuchs to show Wang Zhu his own calligraphy. Every time Wang Zhu said he didn't learn well, Emperor Taizong paid more attention to copying. He asked Wang Zhu with calligraphy, and Wang Zhu's answer was the same as at the beginning. When someone asked him about his intention, Wang Zhu said, "Although he wrote well, you said (his handwriting) well so quickly, and I am afraid that the Holy Family will not pay attention to calligraphy any more." From then on, the emperor's calligraphy was superb, surpassing the ancient times, which was considered as the benefit of Wang Zhu's encouragement.

Cultural common sense:
Hanlin and Hanlin Academy. "Han" originally refers to writing brush, which is extended to poetry. Literally, "Hanlin" is a place where poetry and prose are concentrated, and later became a proper noun. In ancient times, in the imperial examination, the emperor directly appointed some people to hold some official positions, and put the rest in imperial academy. "Hanlin Academy" is actually a talent pool. Their work is to draft imperial edicts, compile historical books, collate literature and history, preach and teach the emperor, and so on.
