Translation
Xiao Cheng is very good at calligraphy, and Li Yong also wrote something saying that he is good at identifying calligraphy. Both of them live in Nanzhong. Xiao Cheng wrote the secondary calligraphy and thought it was good, so he showed it to Li Yong, but Li Yong didn't approve of him. Xiao Cheng was very dissatisfied with Li Yong's picky approach, so he made several fake ancient calligraphy and paintings, playing with them every day, and changing the calligraphy and painting. It was very old, and everyone who saw it said it was calligraphy and painting from hundreds of years ago. Xiao Cheng said to Li Yong: "I have Wang Xizhi's original calligraphy. I have kept it for a long time, and now I want to show it to you." Li Yong wanted to see it very much. Look, Xiao Cheng deliberately delayed it for several days and refused to take it out. Later, when the two of them talked about it, Li Yong insisted on asking to see it and said, "You agreed but didn't let me see it. Aren't you lying to me?" Xiao Cheng then asked his servant to go back and get it, but the servant didn't get it. He exclaimed: "A guest came here a few days ago and I saw it. He probably stole it." Li Yong believed it to be true. After a long time, Xiao Cheng said: "I put it somewhere and then forgot it." He asked Li Yong to follow him. Went to pick it up. After arriving at the place, Li Yong observed it for a long time and did not suspect it was a fake. He said, "I have never seen such an authentic work in my life." Everyone present thought that what Li Yong said was right. A few days later, when all of Li Yong's guests were gathering, Xiao Cheng said to Li Yong: "You have never looked down on my calligraphy. I showed you some calligraphy I wrote when I was a child a few days ago. Why did you just call me calligraphy?" I think it is Wang Xizhi's original work. Where is his ability to identify it?" Li Yong was shocked and said: "Bring it to me to see again?" After seeing it, he glanced at it for a while, threw it on the bed and said, "Now look carefully. Look, it’s still not that good.”
