The detailed story of Wang Xizhi's penetrating.

Wang Xizhi was an outstanding calligrapher in ancient China, who enjoyed a high evaluation in history and was called "the sage of calligraphy" by later generations. Although Wang Xizhi's handwriting is so good, it has something to do with his talent, but the most important thing is his hard work.

East Jin Mingdi once went to Gai Zhoushan, the northern suburb of Kyoto Jiankang, to worship the land god, and asked Wang Xizhi to write the memorial on a wooden prayer board, and then sent someone to carve it. The man first cut the board with a knife and found that Wang Xizhi's ink actually penetrated into the depths of the board, and only after removing three points of thickness could he see the white background. The brushwork is very strong, and it has reached the point of perfection. The sculptor repeatedly exclaimed, "It's amazing!"

This incident caused a sensation in the whole capital, and "straight to the point" became a household idiom. Therefore, according to the plot of this story, later people directly used "straight to the point" to describe people writing articles or speaking deeply.

Extended data:

When Wang Xizhi was appointed as the secretariat of Jiangzhou, he once set up a house on a slope in Linchuan County, in which there was a Mo Chi specially used for practicing calligraphy. Ceng Gong, a litterateur in Song Dynasty, visited Mo Chi in Linchuan, and wrote "Mo Chi Ji", in which it was mentioned that Wang Xizhi had imitated Zhang Zhi's poem "Learn books in Linchuan, and all the water in the pool is black" in order to express his admiration for Zhang Zhi.

Wang Xizhi can become the leading calligrapher of all ages, not only because of his family background and talent, but also because he has made a lot of efforts. These efforts are not only the hard practice of calligraphy technology, but also his thoughts on the origin and change of calligraphy.
