Wang Xizhi's life is profound.
Wang Xizhi of the Jin Dynasty was a rare genius with few words. At the age of seven, he was good at calligraphy, and at the age of twelve, he was in his father's office. The emperor of the Jin Dynasty will go to the northern suburbs to offer sacrifices, so that Wang Xizhi can write his message on the board and then send workers to carve it. The sculptor cut the board layer by layer and found that Wang Xizhi's calligraphy ink had been printed into the board. He dug three points deep before reaching the bottom. Woodworkers marveled at Wang Xizhi's strong brushwork, exquisite calligraphy and brilliant brushwork.
Bare-bellied East Bed
/kloc-at the age of 0/6, Wang Xizhi was chosen as the son-in-law of Dongchuang by Chi Jian. Chi Jian has a daughter who is 28 years old and has a beautiful face. She is not married. Chi Jian loves her daughter, so she wants to choose a husband for her. She has a deep friendship with Prime Minister Wang Dao and is also an official. I heard that there are many children in her family, all of whom are talented and beautiful. One morning, I told the Prime Minister Wang my idea of choosing a spouse. Chi Jian, the king's prime minister, ordered his confidant to be a housekeeper and brought a heavy gift to his home. When the children in Wang Fu heard that Qiu Xi sent someone to find her husband, they all dressed up and came out to meet each other. Looking around, one person is missing. The housekeeper took the housekeeper to the study of the East Cross Court and found a young man lying on his back on the bed near the east wall, indifferent to Qiu's search for a husband. When the housekeeper of Xi's mansion returned to the mansion, she said to Taiwei Xi, "I heard that Xi's mansion is looking for a husband, and there are more than twenty younger sons in the mansion, all vying for it. There is only one son lying on the east bed, and nothing happens. " Chi Jian said, "This is the kind of person I want to choose. Go and show me. " When Chi Jian came to Wang Fu, he saw that this man was both enlightened and elegant, talented and handsome. He got a dowry on the spot and chose him as his son-in-law. This is how the phrase "son-in-law in the east bed" came from.
