Zhong Wei, you have a common personality. Liu Sheng and I went to Baodu Mountain (2) and studied for three years, so I discussed writing with Wei Taizu, Han Danchun and Dan Wei (3). Yao Nai asked Cai Bozhen (4) how to write Wei's birthday. He regretted it. I beat my chest and vomited blood. Mao was saved with five panaceas and survived. And life and death, the cave was robbed of its tomb, and it was won. Therefore, it is better to write a pen. I studied books carefully, and my lying chart passed table ⑤, and I forgot to go to the toilet ⑤ all day. Every time I see ten thousand kinds of books, I like them. A good three-color book ⑦, the best one is eight points.

Wei Zhong You, whose word is Chang, went to Baodu Mountain as a teenager, studied calligraphy for three years, and then learned calligraphy skills with Cao Cao and Han Danchun. Zhong You borrowed Cai's original work, but the latter was very stingy and refused to give it to Zhong You. Zhong You beat his chest (angrily) until he vomited blood. Cao Cao saved Zhong You with five elixirs, and Zhong You was able to survive. It was not until Dan Wei's death that Zhong You had Dan Wei's tomb stolen and Cai Bo's original work was obtained. So Zhong You's pen is more wonderful. Zhong You devoted himself to calligraphy, lying on the bed, grinding the quilt by hand (practicing calligraphy), and forgot to go back to his room after going to the toilet all day. See everything in the world and write it down. Zhong You is good at writing regular script, running script and cursive script, among which his eight characters are the most ingenious.
