First, Wang Xizhi's story is brilliant.
Wang Xizhi is a great calligrapher. I think everyone knows that his calligraphy enjoys a high evaluation in history, so he is respected as a calligrapher by later generations. His handwriting is not only beautiful, but also powerful. Perhaps in the eyes of many people, this sentence is obviously a sick sentence. If you want the font to look beautiful, it must be soft, while Cang Jing's calligraphy looks rough. But Wang Xizhi can combine the two into one, which shows how terrible his calligraphy attack is. The word "incisive" comes from his writing. It is said that one day, he wrote his words on a board and gave them to carving professionals for carving. The master of engraving first cut the board with a knife and found that Wang Xizhi's handwriting penetrated into the board to a depth of three points. This incident caused a sensation in the whole capital at that time, and the story of penetrating wood became a special word to praise his vigorous calligraphy. There may be no one else at this level except Wang Xizhi. We can also imagine that the calligraphy written by the book saint has reached the level of perfection.
Second, the story of Yan Zhenqing
Yan Zhenqing lost his father when he was three years old, and has been brought up by his mother, Mrs. Yin. Later, Mrs. Yin moved him to his grandfather's house. His grandfather is a famous painter and calligrapher. Yan Zhenqing was very clever and talkative since he was a child, so he was very popular with his grandfather, who was also happy to teach him to read and write. When dealing with people, I am glad that my children are willing to study hard and practice hard, but at the same time I am worried about the expenses at home. Things are really tight at home, so it's hard to buy Yan Zhenqing Four Treasures of the Study to practice calligraphy. Smart little Yan Zhenqing knew his mother's worry and told her not to worry about it. He took a bowl and a brush and said that the brush on the experimental bed was yellower than Wang Lide's. As for paper, the whole wall can be used as paper. Since then, Yan Zhenqing has been practicing calligraphy on the wall until the wall.
It can be seen that God is not partial to anyone, and he has no kindness. They don't care about a child, so there are so many so-called geniuses. The geniuses you think are only where you can't see them. They work a thousand times and a hundred times harder than you. Pay and gain must be equal, and you may pay ten times and a hundred times in return. May our descendants learn from the ancients.
