Once, he asked his father to teach him the secret of calligraphy. Wang Xizhi didn't answer directly, but pointed to eighteen water tanks in the yard and said, "The secret lies in these water tanks. You will know after you write about the water in these tanks. " Wang Xizhi taught his son Wang Xianzhi to practice calligraphy.
Wang Xianzhi refuses to accept, thinking that although he is small, his handwriting is already very good. He is determined to practice the basic skills again and show it to his father. He imitates his father's handwriting every day and practices horizontal, vertical, dot, left and right strokes. It took him two years to show his handwriting to his father. Father smiled without a word, and mother said, "It's a bit like iron." Wang Xianzhi practiced all kinds of hooks for two years, and then showed them to his father, who kept silent. His mother said, "It's a bit like a silver hook." . Wang Xianzhi began to practice complete words. After four years of practice, he showed his father the words he had written. After reading it, Wang Xizhi added a little under the word "big" written by his son, and it became the word "too" because he thought the word "big" written by his only son was too tight and too loose. Mother looked at Wang Xianzhi's handwriting, sighed and said, "My son has been practicing calligraphy for 3,000 days. Only this is like your father's handwriting! " Hearing this, Wang Xianzhi was completely convinced. Since then, he has practiced writing harder.
Wang Xizhi was very happy to see his son practicing calligraphy hard. One day, he quietly walked behind his son, suddenly pulled out the pen in his hand, but did not move, so he praised his son and said, "This son is going to be famous again." Wang Xizhi knew that his son had a strong hand in writing, so he began to cultivate him carefully. Later, Wang Xianzhi really finished writing Eighteen Tanks of Water and became a famous calligrapher like his father. Wang Xizhi taught his son Wang Xianzhi to practice calligraphy.

Wang Xizhi explained to his son with a 18 water tank that there is nothing in the world for nothing. Only by practicing the basic skills hard can we find out the basic rules and achieve the perfection of calligraphy. As the saying goes, "Heaven governs nature". Children's learning is focused and persistent. When children accumulate to a certain extent, they will naturally get good grades. When educating their children, parents should not be eager for quick success and instant benefit, but should gradually cultivate their children's earnest and down-to-earth character.
