Mi Fei was a calligrapher, painter and painting theorist in the Northern Song Dynasty. He is also known as "Song Sijia" with Cai Xiang, Su Shi and Huang Tingjian. One day, Song Huizong wanted to see Mi Fei's calligraphy, so he ordered him to cursive a famous poem on the imperial screen. I saw Mifei dip the brush in the inkstone and then brushed the snake away. For an instant, Hui Zong was overjoyed and admired. Seeing the emperor happy, Mi Fei took the opportunity to take his beloved inkstone into his arms. Although the ink was stained with robes, he said to the emperor, "This inkstone is for my official use, and it is dirty. The emperor can no longer use it. Please give it to me. " Hui Zong looked at the exquisite calligraphy on the imperial screen and thought that Mi Fei had a serious cleanliness addiction, but he did not hesitate to dye his robe black with ink. He couldn't help laughing and gave him the inkstone.
However, the imperial inkstone that Mi Fei finally got was finally abandoned by Mi Fei because it was not clean.
After he got the imperial inkstone, he showed it off in front of his good friend Su Dongpo. One day, he invited Su Dongpo to his home and said, "Big Brother, I got a precious inkstone, which is rare in the world. I specially invite you to enjoy it. "
Su Dongpo knew Mi Fei's cleanliness, so he wanted to see for himself how neat he really was, so he respectfully washed his hands in the basin, took the precious inkstone and studied it carefully, and then deliberately asked, "On the surface, this precious inkstone is unusual, but I don't know what the grinding effect is?"
Wasting money hurriedly went to get the water for grinding ink. Soon after he came back, he saw Su Dongpo grinding on the inkstone with saliva instead of water. When Mi Fei saw this, he was furious and said, "What's the point, Big Brother? Gu Yan, the good-tempered one, is stained by your saliva! "
But after all, he and Su Dongpo are close friends. Finally, he sighed helplessly: "For this precious inkstone, I will not hesitate to dye my official robe to get the gift of the emperor. Today, I was stained by your saliva. It's my bad luck. Stop. Stop. Stop. Since it is dirty by you, I will simply give it to you. "
Su Dongpo was surprised at Mi Fei's words. He had long heard the servant in Mi Fei say that Mi Fei should wash his hands with tap water, not a washbasin, because the washbasin was dirty and there was no tap water at that time. Wherever he goes, his servant is always on standby with a pot of water. The servant pours water and the master washes his hands. After washing, he shook his hand and did it himself. Su Dongpo was surprised to see that Mi Fei's cleanliness was so serious.
What's more, Mimi is always dissatisfied with her choice when choosing a husband for her daughter. Later, I met a young man whose name was brushed and his words were dusted. I immediately said, "This young man is really clean. He has been dusted, and it will be cleaner if he dusts it again. " So I married my daughter to him.
Mi Fei easily gave away the precious inkstone given by the emperor because of cleanliness, married his daughter-in-law because of cleanliness, and was almost stripped of his job because of washing boots.
When Mi Fei was doing a doctor's degree in painting and calligraphy, one day he found that his boots had been touched and stained, and he felt extremely dirty. When he got home, he ordered the servant to put his boots in the basin, and then brushed them inside and out with a brush. After drying, I found that my boots were wrinkled and deformed. Where can I wear them to court?
Originally, Song's boots were made of leather and felt, so Mi Fei willy-nilly asked his servants to wash them with water. However, due to the different texture, thickness and stress of the dough, it became hard and wrinkled after drying, and even the decorative pieces on the boots became crooked, and the dignity and dignity of the boots disappeared.
As luck would have it, Mi Fei was going to attend the court meeting that day, and it was too late to get a new one, so he had to wear wrinkled boots to court. Miffy's boots were found to be gray and wrinkled, and he took part in one of them, which was a disrespect for the holy family. As a result, he was almost removed from office.
Afterwards, Miffy wrote on his copybook: "The boots were held by others, and the heart was very evil. Because of repeated washing, I can't wear it. " There is a crazy state, which is precisely the value of his selfless pursuit of his career, and also the spiritual realm of his stupidity.
