Wang Xizhi seldom spoke when he was a child, and no one could see the difference between him. But he loves learning, likes studying, is resourceful, and is good at calculating. He started studying in Linchi at the age of seven. By the time he reached 10, his handwriting was very good, and his uncles liked him very much.
1 1 year-old Wang Xizhi really wants to learn some theoretical works on calligraphy to guide himself. One day, he found a book called Bi Tan under his father Wang Kuang's pillow, all about writing methods. He was so happy that he was ecstatic when he learned that. Just when he was interested, his father found him and asked him, "Why did you steal the secret book under my pillow?" Wang Xizhi just looked at his father and giggled. Mother chimed in: "I'm afraid he's thinking about using a pen!" " "The father said," you are too young now. When you grow up, I will naturally teach you to read. "
Wang Xizhi couldn't wait and said unhappily, "If I don't pay attention to brushwork when I grow up, wouldn't it be a sunset study and my youth would be wasted?" Wang Kuang was very surprised at his son's words. He thought that his son had little ambition and should be cultivated from an early age, so he carefully explained the content of Bitan to Wang Xizhi. With solid copying skills and theoretical guidance of written talks, Xi Zhi's calligraphy has risen to a new height in several months' efforts. Later, I worshipped Mrs. Wei, a female calligrapher at that time. Under the careful guidance of teacher Wei, he has made greater progress in practicing calligraphy. Wang Xizhi studied with Mrs. Wei for a period of time, and calligraphy has become very mellow and mature. Even Mrs. Wei had to marvel: "shine on you is better than blue, and this child will definitely surpass me in the future!"
Wang Xizhi's achievements in calligraphy are inseparable from his numerous teachers and efforts.
