Bamboo fan inscription
It is said that once, Wang Xizhi went to a village. An old woman was selling a basket of hexagonal bamboo fans at a collection. That kind of bamboo fan is simple, without any decoration, and can't arouse the interest of passers-by. It seems that it can't be sold, and the old woman is very anxious. Seeing this situation, Wang Xizhi felt sorry for the old woman, so he went up to her and said, "You can't sell this bamboo fan because there are no pictures or words on it." How about I write an inscription for you? " The old woman doesn't know Wang Xizhi. Seeing his enthusiasm, she wrote him a bamboo fan. Wang Xizhi took a pen, wrote five words on each fan and gave them back to the old woman. The old woman can't read, and she thinks that his writing is sloppy and unhappy. Wang Xizhi comforted her and said, "Don't worry. You told the fan buyer that it was written by Wang Youjun. " As soon as Wang Xizhi left, the old woman did as he said. When collectors saw that it was really Wang Youjun's calligraphy, they all rushed to buy it. A basket of bamboo fans soon sold out.
Teach children to learn books.
Wang Xianzhi, the seventh son of Wang Xizhi, was smart and studious since childhood. He began to learn calligraphy at the age of seven or eight and studied under his father. One day, Xiao Xianzhi asked her mother Xi, "I only need to write for another three years, right?" Mom shook her head. "Five years of head office?" Mother shook her head again. I was anxious and said to my mother, "How long do you think it will take?" "Remember, after you write this 18 jar of water in the yard, your handwriting will be strong, and you will stand straight." My father stood behind him when I turned around. Wang Xianzhi refused to accept it and said nothing. He gritted his teeth for five years and showed his father a lot of written words, hoping to hear a few words of praise. Who knows, Wang Xizhi shook his head one by one. When the word "big" was raised, my father showed a satisfied expression, filled in a dot casually under the word "big", and then returned all the manuscripts to the dedication. Xiaoxian was still not satisfied, so he showed all his calligraphy to his mother and said, "I practiced for another five years, completely according to my father's words." Look carefully, what's the difference between my dad and me? " Mother really looked at it carefully for three days, and finally pointed to the point added by Wang Xizhi under the word "big" and sighed and said, "My son has worn out three tanks of water, only a little like Xihe." After listening to this, he was very discouraged and said weakly, "It's difficult! If this continues, when will there be good results? " Seeing that his arrogance had disappeared, his mother encouraged him to say, "Son, as long as you work hard, there is no river you can't cross or mountain you can't climb. As long as you keep practicing as you have in recent years, you will certainly achieve your goal! " After listening to the dedication, I was deeply moved and kept practicing. Everything comes to him who waits. He used 18 buckets of water to practice calligraphy, and calligraphy made rapid progress. Later, Wang Xianzhi's writing reached the level of penetrating paper and perfection. His ci is juxtaposed with Wang Xizhi and is called "Two Kings".
perspicacious
Wang Xizhi of the Jin Dynasty was a rare genius with few words. At the age of seven, he was good at calligraphy. At the age of twelve, he saw the ancient "Pen Shuo" under his father's pillow and stole it. Father asked, "Why did you steal my secret book?" Wang Xizhi just laughed and didn't answer. Mother said, "Look at the pen." Father thinks he is young and is afraid that he can't keep a secret. He said to Wang Xizhi, "I'll teach you when you grow up." Wang Xizhi sincerely asked his father, "Give it to me now. If you wait until adulthood, I am afraid that you will bury your childhood talents. " Father was very happy and gave it to him. In less than a month, calligraphy has made great progress. When Mrs Wei saw it, she said to Wang Ce, the official of Taichang, "Wang Xizhi must have read Bi Shuo. I recently read his calligraphy and developed a mature and steady style. " Mrs. Wei said with tears, "This child will definitely be more famous than me." At that time, the imperial court held a sacrificial ceremony in the northern suburbs. When replacing the bamboo board, the worker cut off his words and infiltrated the board for three points.
White goose's book
Wang Xizhi, a book sage, likes geese very much. He thinks that keeping geese can not only cultivate sentiment, but also learn some calligraphy theory from observing the movements of geese. Once Wang Xizhi went out to play and saw a group of beautiful white geese, so he wanted to buy them. I didn't know these geese were raised by a Taoist nearby, and I wanted to discuss buying them with him. When the Taoist priest heard that the famous Wang Xizhi wanted to buy them, he said: If Wang Youjun can copy me a copy of Huang Ting Jing, I will give him some geese. Wang Xizhi readily agreed, which made the book a white goose.
Second, the short stories of ancient calligrapher Wang Xizhi.
1, Wang Youjun's words
It is said that on one occasion, Wang Xizhi saw an old woman carrying a basket of hexagonal bamboo fans in a collection to sell fans, and she never sold them. She went up to her and said, "Of course you can't sell this bamboo fan." How about I write an inscription for you? "
Wang Xizhi took a pen and wrote five words on each fan. He gave it back to the old woman, who couldn't read, and felt that it was scribbled and unhappy.
Wang Xizhi comforted her and said, "Don't worry, tell the person who bought the fan that this was written by Wang Youjun." As soon as Wang Xizhi left, the old woman did as he said. When people in the collection saw that it was really Wang Youjun's calligraphy, they all rushed to buy it, and a bamboo fan sold out immediately.
2. Make up Spring Festival couplets skillfully
Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher, personally writes Spring Festival couplets and posts them on the door every New Year's Eve, because his handwriting is called "the best running script in the world", which many people want and it is rare.
This year, New Year's Eve came again, and Wang Xizhi still wrote the Spring Festival couplets of "double happiness, double misfortune", leaving the second half. People who want to steal couplets are disappointed when they see these eight words. When he arrived in Yin Shi, Wang Xizhi made up the second half and became "be in heaven, the rain cleared up last night." Early the next morning, people who wanted to steal Spring Festival couplets were amazed and applauded.

Three Stories of Wang Xizhi
Wang Xizhi's story:
1, Wang Youjun's words
Wang Xizhi was a great calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He was born in the gentry, and with his outstanding talent, all the ministers in the court recommended him to be an official. He is the secretariat and general of the right army (people also call him Wang Youjun).
Wang Xizhi loved writing since he was a child. It is said that when I usually walk, I also practice writing with my fingers at any time. After a long time, even the clothes were cut. After studying hard and practicing hard, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy became more and more famous. People at that time regarded his calligraphy as a treasure.
It is said that once, Wang Xizhi went to a village. An old woman went to a charity sale with a basket of hexagonal bamboo fans. That kind of bamboo fan is very simple, without any decoration, which can't attract the interest of passers-by. It seems that it can't be sold, and the old woman is very anxious.
Seeing this situation, Wang Xizhi felt sorry for the old woman, so he went up to her and said, "You can't sell this bamboo fan because there are no pictures or words on it." How about I write an inscription for you? "
The old woman doesn't know Wang Xizhi. Seeing his enthusiasm, she wrote him a bamboo fan.
Wang Xizhi took a pen, wrote five words on each fan and gave them back to the old woman. The old woman can't read, and she feels that his handwriting is scrawled, so she is very unhappy.
Wang Xizhi comforted her and said, "Don't worry. You told the fan buyer that it was written by Wang Youjun. "
As soon as Wang Xizhi left, the old woman did as he said. Collectors rushed to buy Wang Youjun's calligraphy after seeing it. A basket of bamboo fans soon sold out.
2.goose
Many artists have their own hobbies, some love to grow flowers and some love to keep birds. But Wang Xizhi has his special hobbies. Where there are good geese, he is interested in seeing them, or buying them to enjoy.
There is a Taoist in Yinshan. He wants Wang Xizhi to write a moral classic for him. But he knew that Wang Xizhi would not copy scriptures for others easily. Later, he found that Wang Xizhi liked white geese, so he specially raised a number of geese with good varieties.
Wang Xizhi heard that there were good geese in Taoism, so he really went to see them. When he approached the Taoist priest's house, he saw a flock of geese floating leisurely on the surface of the river, with white feathers and high red tops. It was really cute.
Wang Xizhi watched by the river and was reluctant to leave, so he sent someone to find a Taoist priest and asked to sell him the goose.
The Taoist priest said with a smile, "Since the princes love eating so much, they don't have to spend any money. I'll give you all these geese. But I have a request, that is, please write a volume of scriptures for me. "
Wang Xizhi did not hesitate to copy a scroll of scriptures for Taoist priests, and the goose was taken back by Wang Xizhi.
Step 3 Eat jiaozi
One day, Wang Xizhi passed by the market and saw a shop called Jiaozi. There is a lot of noise and excitement. In particular, the two couplets by the door are particularly eye-catching. On the horizontal plaque "Duck Feet Shop", the words "I can't get here, I know the taste often" are written. But the handwriting is dull and weak, lacking in kung fu.
After reading it, Wang Xizhi thought: Is this word worthy of inscription on the plaque? Another thought: "If you can't pass this level, you will know the taste. Come often." -Boy! Who is buying and selling here,
How can you brag like that?
Looking closely, I saw a cauldron with boiling water in it, which was located next to a low wall. Jiaozi wrapped in white flour,
Just like Bai Niao flew over the wall and just fell into the boiling cauldron. When the pot is full, the bird will be grounded without saying hello. When this pot of jiaozi was cooked and fished out, the "birds" flew in a line again, exactly.
Wang Xizhi was surprised, took out some scattered silver coins, asked for a big bowl of jiaozi and sat down. Only then did he discover that jiaozi was delicate and delicate, like a duck swimming in the water. This is an amazing product! He picked up jiaozi with chopsticks, slowly put it in his mouth and took a gentle bite. Suddenly, the smell was fragrant and delicious. Before I knew it, I swallowed the big bowl of jiaozi.
After a hearty meal, Wang Xizhi said to himself, This duck jiaozi is really delicious! It's just that the handwriting of the couplet at the door is too poor to deserve this delicious jiaozi. Why don't I, Wang Xizhi, take this opportunity to write another couplet for them and live up to my visit here? Thinking of this, he asked the clerk, "Where is the shopkeeper?"
The clerk pointed to the low wall and said, "Hui Xianggong, the shopkeeper is behind the wall."
Wang Xizhi bypassed the low wall and saw a white-haired old woman sitting in front of the panel, rolling dumpling skins and wrapping dumpling stuffing alone. In the blink of an eye, the action is extremely fast. Stranger still, after the bag was finished, the white-haired old woman threw jiaozi at the low wall, and jiaozi the duck climbed over the wall one by one.
Wang Xizhi was stunned by the old man's superb skills. He hurried forward and asked, "Old man, with your deep kung fu, how long will you have to practice?" The old man replied, "To tell you the truth, it takes fifty years to master it, and it takes a lifetime to master it."
Hearing this, Wang Xizhi was silent for a while, as if he were savoring this sentence. Then he asked, "You are so skilled, why don't you ask someone to write a better one at the door?"
The old man said very enthusiastically; ""xianggong "don't know, not the old woman don't want to please, but not please! Some people are only famous for their writing, but their eyes are upward, so they don't want to write for us ordinary people.
In fact, in my opinion, their writing skills are not as deep as I throw jiaozi! "The old man's works don't necessarily refer to Wang Xizhi, but Wang Xizhi feels hot and ashamed on his face. So, he specially wrote a pair of couplets and respectfully gave them to the old man.
(3) Extended reading of Wang Xizhi's ancient stories: Wang Xizhi (works of 303-36 1 year, 32 1-379), a famous calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, is known as the "book saint". Linyi (now Linyi, Shandong Province) was born, then moved to Huiji (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province) Yin Shan, and lived in seclusion in Jinting County in his later years.
Successive secretary, general Ningyuan, Jiangzhou secretariat, later literature and history records, right general. His calligraphy is good at calligraphy, calligraphy, calligraphy, calligraphy, calligraphy, calligraphy, calligraphy, calligraphy, calligraphy, calligraphy, calligraphy, calligraphy, calligraphy, calligraphy, calligraphy, calligraphy, calligraphy. The style is peaceful and natural, the brushwork is euphemistic and subtle, and it is beautiful.
Li Zhimin commented: "Wang Xizhi's calligraphy not only shows simplicity and abstinence based on the philosophy of Laozi and Zhuangzi, but also shows harmony based on the Confucian doctrine of the mean." The masterpiece Preface to Lanting is known as "the best running script in the world". In the history of calligraphy, he and his son Wang Xianzhi were called "two kings".
The story of Wang Xizhi
1, Wang Xizhi once saw an old woman selling fans, but the business was bleak, and many bamboo fans were moldy, which made the seller even more disdainful. I decided to do the old lady a favor.
He asked, Grandma, how is your fan business? You're welcome, grandma. Objectively speaking, you are humorous. I have sold so many fans here that I haven't sold them all day. If this situation continues, there will be no food in our house.
Wang Xizhi said, stop complaining, old woman. I'll teach you a good way to ensure that these fans can buy good prices and make you a lot of money. Then write an inscription on the fan bought by the old lady. The old lady didn't know it was a great calligrapher.
I grabbed the pen from Wang Xizhi. I said, sir, are you here to make trouble? I haven't sold this clean fan. Come and write it down for me. Who should I sell it to?
Wang Xizhi said, don't worry. After I finish writing, you only need to shout when you sell Wang Xizhi's body fan. I guarantee that each can be sold at 100 yuan. When the old woman heard this magic trick, she took a dubious attitude and asked Wang Xizhi to write a few.
When people heard that it was Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, they all bought it. The original fan was robbed at that time. The old lady wants to know whether it is really God who wants to help me. The next day, the old lady waited for Wang Xizhi to write for herself. Wang Xizhi is not very happy.
I think I wanted to help you yesterday, so I came up with this plan. Now you beg me just to make money, but there is no way. Wang Xizhi wrote several songs for the old lady, which sold well. Later, Wang Xizhi crossed the bridge. If he saw his mother-in-law still selling fans there, he would make a detour to avoid it.
There is a Taoist priest in Yinshan. He wants Wang Xizhi to write a moral classic for him. But he knew that Wang Xizhi would not copy scriptures for others easily. Later, he learned that Wang Xizhi liked white geese, so he specially raised a group of great white geese with good varieties.
Wang Xizhi heard that there were good geese in Taoism, so he really went to see them. When he approached the Taoist house, he saw a flock of geese floating leisurely on the water in the river, with white feathers and high red tops, which was really lovable.
Wang Xizhi watched by the river and was reluctant to leave, so he sent someone to find a Taoist priest and asked to sell him the goose. The Taoist smiled and said, "Since the princes like it so much, they don't have to spend money. I'll give you all these geese.
But I have a request, please write a volume of scriptures for me. "Wang Xizhi did not hesitate to copy a volume of scriptures to the Taoist priest at that time, and the goose was taken back by Wang Xizhi.
3. One night, Wang Xizhi was practicing calligraphy under the lamp, and he wrote one piece of white paper after another and spread it all over the floor. Late at night, he looked and thought word for word. He was too tired to practice, holding a pen and leaning against the case.
Suddenly, after a breeze, a white cloud floated by. An old man with a silver moustache smiled and said, "Your handwriting is good!" " ""where, where! " Wang Xizhi offered to sit down and answered modestly.
Seeing the old man carefully looking at his handwriting, he asked, "Old man, please correct me." The old man saw Wang Xizhi's sincerity and said, "You reach out." Wang Xizhi doesn't know what the old man is going to do.
Seeing that the old man was serious and didn't like joking, he slowly reached over. The old man held hands and said with a smile, "I think you are sincere in learning to write, so that you can understand a brushwork and will have your own role in the future."
When the old man finished, he wrote a word on Wang Xizhi's palm, then nodded and said, "You will make faster progress." Just say it and leave. Wang Xizhi quickly shouted, "Where is your husband's house?" I heard a faint voice in the air: "White clouds on the roof ..."
Wang Xizhi saw at a glance that his palm was "forever". He compared, rowed, wrote and practiced, and finally realized that the strokes of the square characters and the tricks of the shelf structure were all embodied in the word "forever".
Professor Baiyun's skill is really good! From then on, Wang Xizhi practiced calligraphy harder and his calligraphy was more free and wonderful. Later, Wang Xizhi returned to Shaoxing, met with literary friends in Lanting, and wrote the calligraphy treasure "Preface to Lanting".
Wang Xizhi never forgot the word "Yong" inscribed by Mr. Baiyun Mountain, and wrote a book "Huang Ting Jing" in good faith, which was placed in a sudden and steep cave on the top of the mountain, and was later called "Huang Ting Cave".
On one occasion, Wang Xizhi was practicing calligraphy seriously, and even the steamed bread and garlic juice brought by the girl were not found beside him. The girl told Mr. Wang to eat quickly so as not to make himself hungry. As a result, Wang Xizhi still concentrated on practicing calligraphy.
When the maid saw it, she ran to Mrs. Wang Xizhi to help her explain the situation. This lady is very worried. She was afraid that her husband would be addicted to tea and rice because of practicing calligraphy, and then hurt herself, so she took the maid to persuade him.
Who knows that Wang Xizhi is eating steamed bread with ink? Both the lady and the girl laughed. The girl said, Sir, do you think steamed bread today is different from the past? Wang Xizhi put down his pen and said thoughtfully.
This sauce seems delicious. Wang Xizhi, who devoted himself to writing, actually used ink as garlic juice, but Wang Xizhi himself didn't seem to notice it at all.
My wife rushed forward to grab the steamed bread and said with distress, your handwriting is so beautiful, why do you have to practice until you forget to eat and sleep? Wang Xizhi said, "My words are all imitated by others. Now I want to create my own words."
After a long period of practice, Wang Xizhi finally made his calligraphy unique. He finally got rid of the brand of imitating others and became an imitated existence by later generations.
One day, I found a book called Bi Tan under my father's pillow, which is all about writing methods. He peeked at it with joy.
Just as I was studying hard, my father came and asked, "Why did you steal the secretary from under my pillow?" Xihe just laughed. Mother wanted to smooth things over for him, and put in a sentence from the side: "Do you want to find out how to use a pen?"
Father thought he was too young to read, so he took the book back and said to him, "I'll teach you to read when you grow up." Wang Xizhi said unhappily, "Tell me when you are happy. When I grow up, I will pay attention to brushwork.
Then I've lived in vain these years, haven't I? Let me study now, lest I don't know how to grope around. "Father heard him right and gave him the book.
Therefore, Wang Xizhi practiced hard every day according to the methods mentioned in the book, and soon, his calligraphy made remarkable progress. However, Wang Xizhi is not satisfied with the existing progress. Once, he saw the handwriting of Zhang Zhi, a calligrapher in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he couldn't put it down.
Zhang Zhi's cursive script is so good that people call him "the sage of grass". Wang Xizhi not only worships his calligraphy, but also admires his indomitable spirit of "learning in a pool, learning in a pool is dark". In a letter to a friend.
Wang Xizhi wrote: "Zhang Zhi practiced calligraphy with the water in the pond, and even the water in the pond turned black. If people practice so hard, they may not catch up with Zhang Zhi. "
From then on, Wang Xizhi doodled every day, and after finishing writing, he went to the pool at the door to rinse his pen. Over time, the water in the pool turned black, so people called this pool "Mo Chi".
The story of the famous ancient calligrapher Wang Xizhi.
1, reserved for geese
Wang Xizhi, a book sage, likes geese very much. He thinks that keeping geese can not only cultivate sentiment, but also learn some calligraphy theory from observing the movements of geese. Once Wang Xizhi went out to play and saw a group of beautiful white geese, so he wanted to buy them. I didn't know these geese were raised by a Taoist nearby, and I wanted to discuss buying them with him. When the Taoist priest heard that the famous Wang Xizhi wanted to buy them, he said: If Wang Youjun can copy me a copy of Huang Ting Jing, I will give him some geese. Wang Xizhi readily agreed, which made the book a white goose.
Step 2 enter the forest
Legend has it that the emperor at that time went to the northern suburbs to offer sacrifices and asked Wang Xizhi to write his congratulatory message on a board, and then sent workers to carve it. The sculptor cut the board layer by layer and found that Wang Xizhi's calligraphy ink had been printed into the board. He didn't reach the bottom until he cut into a depth of three points. Woodworkers are amazed at Wang Xizhi's pen power, perfect calligraphy skills and his pen power. Cut to the chase is derived from this story.
(5) Wang Xizhi's Extended Reading of Ancient Stories;
1, claiming to be sick, abandoning the official.

Build a library, plant mulberry fruits, teach children, write poems, make paintings and calligraphy, and let geese fish for entertainment. " He and Xu Xun, Zhi Dun and others began to travel around the world. After settling in Jinting, calligraphy rose. His descendants are good at painting and calligraphy, and their works are hung all over the hall and study, so they are called "Huayuan Painting Hall". Later generations named the village "Huatang" and have been calling it so ever since.
2, will die peacefully.
In the fifth year of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 36 1 year), Wang Xizhi died in Jinting (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang) and was buried in Jinting Waterfall Mountain (also known as Ziteng Mountain). His fifth house in Sun Heng is Jinting Temple, and the website still exists. During the reign of Liang Datong (535-546), he inherited the mausoleum in front of Chien Sun Temple.
