Zhong You, an avid calligrapher
Zhong You is the founder of today's popular regular script. There is a saying in the calligraphy circle that Wang Xizhi, a "book saint", learned calligraphy as a self-defense wife, while Mrs. Wei learned it from Zhong You. In this way, Xi is still Zhong You's disciple, which shows Zhong You's position in the history of calligraphy.
I saw a casual book called "Wandering in the Three Kingdoms", which also talked about Zhong You, saying that he was an all-rounder in literature, and he was proficient in history, Yi ology and calligraphy. The main aspect of martial arts is to learn the art of war and swordsmanship, and his fingers can penetrate the quilt.
I can't help but be startled. When did Zhong You, who has always been a weak scholar in my impression, achieve this skill of finger meditation? Unless the modern sea lantern mage also wants to recognize Zhong You as the granddaddy!
Think of the battle between Ma Dai, Ma Chao's cousin, and Zhong You, which was rated as the most unequal battle in the history of the Three Kingdoms War by later generations: "Dai led fifteen thousand troops and came from all over the mountains. Zhong You horse answer. Dai made a nod and fought with Yao. If you don't agree, you will be defeated. "
posterity comments: "It's too exaggerated to use a nod against Zhong You, who can only write in black on white paper!"
If Zhong You's fingers can penetrate the quilt, though he can't penetrate Ma Dai's treasure knife, then at least he is not an equal in martial arts, so he won't only fight Ma Dai for one round.
Actually, the real situation is that it is recorded in history that Zhong You fingered his way through the quilt, which is the result of his studying books for more than 3 years and practicing calligraphy on the quilt continuously every night.
When Zhong You died, he called his son Zhong Hui to his side, gave him a calligraphy secret book, and told Zhong Hui the story of his hard work. He said that he has spent more than 3 years practicing calligraphy in his life, regardless of day and night, regardless of the occasion and place, whenever he has time, and whenever he has the opportunity. Sit with people and chat while squatting on the ground to write. When I sleep at night, I use the quilt as paper. As a result, the quilt has been scratched for a long time. See flowers and trees, insects, fish, birds and animals and other natural scenery, it will be associated with brushwork, and sometimes go to the toilet and forget to come out.
Zhong You is obsessed with learning calligraphy, and he is a hardcore calligraphy lover. There is one more thing that can prove it.
In his youth, Zhong You and his later leader, Cao Cao, came together because of the same hobby of calligraphy. At that time, Han Danchun, Wei Dan, Sun Zijing, Guan Pipa and other calligraphy fans often attended calligraphy academic seminars.
One day, Zhong You found Cai Yong's secret of practicing calligraphy on Wei Birthday's seat and borrowed it from Wei Birthday. Unexpectedly, this gentleman who is good at making ink (the ink made by Wei Dan is called "Wei Dan Ink" and is praised as "a hundred years as stone, a little as paint." ), probably afraid that Zhong You borrowed it and didn't return it, or that Zhong You's calligraphy surpassed his. In short, Ren Zhong You stubbornly refused to borrow it.
Zhong You was very angry. He drummed his chest for three days, until his chest was black and blue, and he vomited a pool of blood. People who didn't know the inside story thought that he was practicing great magic and was going to go to the Jianghu to sell dog skin plasters. Wei Dan was cruel enough, and he was not moved by Zhong You's "risks", so he just didn't show it to him. Zhong You, however, was too devoted to the "performance" and beat himself to death. Fortunately, Cao Caopa sent someone to give him the Five Elixirs (the holy medicine for healing in the Three Kingdoms period) before he came back to life. Zhong You got a heart attack, and swore that he would not hesitate to rob the tomb after Wei's death, and he would also see the secret of Cai Yong.
This is almost an advertisement for Wei Dan. Everyone knows that Wei Dan has a secret book for practicing calligraphy, so that Wei Dan's tomb was really stolen later.
However, Wei Dan died 2 years later than Zhong You, so it was impossible for Zhong You to steal it himself. However, due to the oath he made, later generations insisted that Zhong You ordered the robbery, which really wronged Zhong You.
