Ask a calligrapher to study hard and practice hard (short story)

Zheng Banqiao, one of the Eight Eccentrics in Yangzhou in Qing Dynasty, loved calligraphy since childhood. He copied all kinds of calligraphy styles of famous ancient calligraphers and was able to confuse the fake with the real. But people don't appreciate his calligraphy very much, and he is in a hurry. He studies and practices harder than before. One summer night, he and his wife were sitting outside enjoying the cool. He wrote on his thigh with his finger and on his wife. His wife hit his hand angrily and said, "You have your body, and I have my body. Why not write about your own body and write about other people's bodies? " When sleeping at night, Zheng Banqiao thought, everyone has his own body, and writing has his own font, which is different! Why do I always learn other people's fonts instead of writing my own style? Even if you learn the same as others, it's just someone else's font. What's the point without innovation and your own style? From then on, he learned from the strengths of various schools, combined official script with seal script, grass, lines and model letters, and used painting to write, and finally formed a "six books and a half" which was highly praised by people and often called "rocky pile", and became a famous painter and calligrapher with high reputation in Qing Dynasty.
