perspicacious
Shops that used to do business generally had signboards, and they always gave their shop names auspicious names, such as "Guangyuan Ji", "Mao Yuan Ji" and "Kangtai Ji", and so on. Just say that there is a store that has a good business, expanded its facade, added goods and wanted a new signboard. Don't underestimate this signboard, it has a considerable impact on business. Therefore, signboards are generally made of good plates. Coincidentally, someone found a board that was once used to worship the gods, and the board was full of sacrificial words. At first, people didn't care. The shopkeeper had the strokes on the blackboard cleaned so that he could write new content. But after rubbing for a long time, the strokes on the board did not erase, but became clearer. If it can't be washed out, it will be planed, and the board will be planed for a layer, and the handwriting will be faintly visible; After scraping the board twice, the handwriting can still be seen. People are surprised: who wrote this word? It was so profound and powerful that an old gentleman who knew calligraphy came to see it and immediately cried in amazement. Looking at his amazing appearance, all the people present were very strange and gathered around to see. The old man said, "This is the handwriting of the great calligrapher Wang Xizhi! This word is too deep and powerful, really penetrating! "
Why is Wang Can Xi Zhi's calligraphy so extensive and profound? This is related to his regular exercise. There is a story of "abstaining from beads" to illustrate this point from the side.
It is said that Wang Xizhi has a beloved pearl. This pearl is not only for entertainment, but also for viewing. Wang Xizhi often rubs his hands when writing to enhance his wrist strength. One day, the pearl suddenly disappeared. I looked and looked, but I couldn't find it. Wang Xizhi is very upset. Who stole it? Except for a monk who lives in his house, no stranger has been around him ... so he became cold to the monk. The monk found that Master was suspicious of him, so he starved to death in the name of "making China". Later, when the family slaughtered the white goose, pearls were found in the belly of the big white goose. It turned out that the big white goose swallowed the beads. When things were made clear, Wang Xizhi deeply felt that he had wronged the monk, regretted it and was very sad. In memory of this innocent monk, he converted his house into "Zhu Jie Temple", saying that he should take the incident of throwing pearls as a lesson, treat his friends with sincerity, and don't easily doubt others and let them be wronged. As a calligrapher, Wang Xizhi not only pays attention to exercising wrist strength and enhancing writing ability, but also strictly demands future generations. His son Wang Xianzhi studied calligraphy under the guidance of his father when he was very young. On one occasion, Wang Xizhi stood quietly behind him in order to check his dedication. While he was concentrating on writing, he suddenly held the writing brush in his son's hand with his fingers and pulled it up. Who knows that the pen is tight and the brush is not taken off. Wang Xizhi was very satisfied with this, and he said happily; "This child will become a calligrapher in the future." And wrote a word on the spot to present it. This incident shows that the calligrapher's brushwork has been developed through hard work.
Concentrate on studying ink for food.
When Wang Xizhi was about five or six years old, Mrs. Bai Wei studied calligraphy for her teacher. His calligraphy has made rapid progress. At the age of seven, he was famous in the local area for his writing, which was very popular and praised by his predecessors. When Wang Xizhi was 1 1, he read The Story of the Pen, which only adults could understand. He got up every morning and practiced writing in the dark according to the method described in Pen Shuo, which was simply fascinating. After a while, I looked at my handwriting, and there were some changes compared with what I wrote before. One day, his teacher, Mrs. Wei, was taken aback and said, "The child must have seen the secret of calligraphy. I found that his calligraphy has recently reached the level of an adult. In this way, my child's future achievements in calligraphy will definitely drown my reputation. " Wang Xizhi was not complacent because of the teacher's praise. He worked harder and harder, even forgetting to eat and sleep. Once at lunch, bookish, he brought his favorite garlic paste and steamed bread and urged him to eat it quickly several times. He still didn't even look up, as if he didn't hear, absorbed in reading posts and writing. The meal was cold, so Jibang had to ask Wang Xizhi's mother to persuade him to eat. Mother came to the study, only to find Xihe holding a steamed bread stained with ink and sending it to her mouth, making her mouth black. It turned out that when Xi Zhi was eating steamed stuffed buns, he was still looking at the words and thinking about how to write them in his mind. As a result, he mistook the ink for garlic. Mother couldn't help laughing when she saw this scene. Wang Xizhi still doesn't know what's going on Hearing his mother's laughter, he also said, "today's mashed garlic is really fragrant!" " Wang Xizhi persisted for decades, studied hard, kept posting, and practiced very solid kung fu, which laid the foundation and paved the way for his future development.
Wang Xi zhi mai pawn
Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, loves traveling and walks into natural scenery. That spring, he went to Hangzhou to visit his friends, walked to the ground in Suzhou, stepped on a stone bridge and looked around. He saw a small village ahead. The fluttering wine flag flickered in the afterglow of the sunset, and the kitchen smoke rose slowly from the small roof. What a beautiful picture this is. He stayed for a while and stopped at the bridge. When the moon rises, the village is hazy.
I woke up the next day and suddenly felt my head was heavy. When I went back to the library and lay down, I was ill. Shu Tong invited a famous doctor from Suzhou to treat Wang Xizhi. Wang Xizhi was ill for a whole month. I have spent all my expenses when I am away from home, so I can't go to Hangzhou to see my friends. What should I do? He thought about it and suddenly remembered that there was a pawnshop opposite his hotel. He remembered that the word "pawn" had been worn out. Why don't I write it as a pawn? It's a good idea, so I asked for extreme paper and ink. He wrote a pawn for a nerd to be. The price is thirty taels of silver, not a penny less.
The book came to the pawnshop with great anger and unfolded Wang Xizhi's handwriting. When the boss saw that it was really a good word, he asked how much it was. The bookworm said that 30 taels of silver is not enough for a penny. The boss looked at it carefully and said, "A good word is a good word, but it's not worth it if you are sick." The extremely boy came back and told Wang Xizhi what the boss had said. Wang Xizhi said, "Hey, I respect you. Very good! I'll write another one. " Wang Xizhi wrote another word, which was taken by a bookish person. The boss read it and said, "This pawn is much more powerful than that, only loneliness and anger. That's it, I'll take it. " Give extremely thirty taels of silver With money, Wang Xizhi can go on the road again.
When he came to Hangzhou, he met a friend who set a table of good wine for Wang Xizhi. A relative of a friend here opened a pawnshop and wanted to ask Wang Xizhi to write a pawn as a signboard. Wang Xizhi said, "I wrote a pawn. Go and get it back." Wang Xizhi took out the pawn ticket and handed it to the man. The man took the silver and looked at Suzhou.
When I arrived in Suzhou, I met the pawnbroker, and I was going back to pawn. The boss thought he was crazy when he heard that he was not a local and wanted to be a pawn after running so far. The boss tried to cheat him when he saw that the pawn ticket was real. He pulled up his abacus and charged him 40 taels with interest. The man took out 40 taels and gave it to the boss. The boss was puzzled and obviously lied to him, but he happily took out 40 taels of silver and redeemed it. I asked him, "Excuse me, what is precious about this word?" The man said, "This is the original work of Wang Xizhi, a great contemporary calligrapher. Your old gentleman has eyes but doesn't know gold and jade, hum! Goodbye! " The boss is anxious. Shouted: "Come back, I'll take 50 taels of silver as your pawn, or 100 taels, 100 taels!" The man wouldn't listen. He went back to Hangzhou, met Wang Xizhi, and made a pawn. Wang Xizhi took it and didn't even look. "Chen Wenjing" tore the word to pieces twice. Unfortunately, that man didn't have time to save the pawn. Wang Xizhi said with a smile: "The most important thing for a businessman is a word' harmony', and harmony makes money. This word was written when I was in a bad mood and lost my temper after my illness. It is not good to be a little angry. I'll write you another one now, and I'm sure you can make a fortune by hanging it out. " As a result, friends in Hangzhou exhibited paper and ink, and Wang Xizhi was lucky enough to write a big word' dang'. All the friends present were amazed, and everyone praised the word as excellent. This pawn is carved by a senior craftsman and hung on the thoroughfare avenue in Hangzhou. It is very conspicuous and the business is very lively. Since then, Hangzhou pawnshop has become the most famous pawnshop in China.
