Legend has it that there was a famous calligrapher in ancient times. Near the New Year, he wrote a couplet of "Spring Breeze, Spring Rain, Spring Festival, New Year, New Year, New Color" for his son and posted it on the door. Unexpectedly, that evening, the couplet was unveiled.

The calligrapher had to write a pair of "Ti Ying Beili, Yan Lin" and asked his son to post it. It wasn't long before this couplet was posted, and it was uncovered again. No wonder the calligrapher's excellent handwriting-"a word is worth a thousand dollars" must have been stolen by someone who loves his calligraphy.

As the Spring Festival approaches, his door is still empty. What should I do if the couplets are posted and exposed? The calligrapher was puzzled and pondered for a long time, and finally came up with a way. He happily wrote the first couplet "Happiness never comes in pairs" and the second couplet "It never rains but it pours". After posting it, the calligrapher didn't expect such unlucky couplets, and no one cared about it anymore.

At the dawn of New Year's Day, calligraphers added the couplet "Happiness didn't double until today, but it never rains but it pours last night". People read this couplet and praised it. This calligrapher is Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
