1. Wang Youjun's handwriting
It is said that once, Wang Xizhi saw an old woman carrying a basket of hexagonal bamboo fans to sell fans at a collection, and she couldn't sell them all the time, so she went up to her and said, "You didn't draw any characters on this bamboo fan, of course you couldn't sell it. How about I give you an inscription? "
Wang Xizhi picked up a pen and wrote five words on each fan. He gave it back to the old woman, who couldn't read. She felt that his writing was sloppy and unhappy.
Wang Xizhi comforted her and said, "Don't worry, tell the fan buyer that it was written by Wang Youjun." As soon as Wang Xizhi left, the old woman did as he said. When people on the collection saw that it was really Wang Youjun's calligraphy, they all rushed to buy it, and a bamboo fan was sold out immediately.
