The seventh son of the famous calligrapher Wang Xizhi, influenced by his father, loved calligraphy since childhood. He saw that his father's handwriting was very good, and everyone was copying his handwriting, which was really admirable. I don't know when I can become a respected calligrapher like my father. Once, he couldn't help asking his father, "Dad, why is your handwriting so good?" Wang Xizhi said with a smile, "If you want to know the secret, come to the yard tomorrow morning." The next day, Wang Xianzhi came to the yard early and found that his father had been practicing calligraphy there. When Wang Xizhi saw his son coming, he pointed to the eighteen jars of water in the yard and said, "There is no secret in calligraphy. As long as you finish writing these eighteen tanks of water, the words will naturally be written. " Deeply inspired, Wang Xianzhi practiced calligraphy day and night. In a blink of an eye, year after year, when he finished writing Eighteen Tanks of Water, he finally became a great calligrapher.
Gorky put it well: "Reading a good book is like talking to a noble person." I benefited a lot from reading this book. I admire Wang Xianzhi's will very much. Look at us. We usually need the help of our parents when we encounter some difficulties, and even complain bitterly. Now I understand that where there is a will, there is a way. When you encounter problems, you should persevere, face difficulties, and don't give up halfway.
