The thing that is better than the better than the worse is calligraphy.
1. Allusions
Cui Ziyu and Du Bodu were famous calligraphers of the previous generation and were famous for their cursive script. The two calligraphers Luo Hui and Zhao Xi lived in a later era than Du Bodu. A man named Zhang Boying was a contemporary of Luo and Zhao. He was proud and complacent, and often laughed at Luo and Zhao for their poor calligraphy. He even wrote to his friend Zhu Ci, saying that he was "not as good as Cui and Du, but more than Luo and Zhao."
It means that although my handwriting is not as good as Cui Ziyu and Du Bodu, it is more than enough than Luo Hui and Zhao Xi. The first half of the sentence is false modesty, because Cui and Du were already famous calligraphers in the previous dynasty. To say that they are inferior is of course a last resort, but the second half of the sentence is obviously to belittle others and elevate themselves.
