Wang Xizhi, a three-point scholar
This idiom means that the brushwork goes deep into the board, describing the brushwork of calligraphy is very strong, and also indicating that the views and discussions are very profound and thorough.

Wang Xizhi, born in Huiji (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang) in Jin Dynasty, is a famous calligrapher in China. His calligraphy skills are profound, and he draws on others' strengths, but he is unique. Generations have praised him as a "calligrapher" (calligraphy sage). So far, many of his original calligraphy and rubbings have been circulated in the world. Because he was a general of the right army, later generations called him Wang Youjun. Speaking of calligraphy, "body" is usually famous for its beauty but its brushwork is soft; However, a "vigorous body" is vigorous but often rough and hard. But Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is both beautiful and vigorous, which is the best in ancient and modern times. So many people who study calligraphy take his handwriting as a model.

So after a long time, even my clothes were cut. He used to practice calligraphy by the pond, and every time he finished writing, he washed his pen and inkstone in the pond. After a long time, the water in the whole pond turned black. It can be seen that he has made great efforts in practicing calligraphy.

The sculptor cut the board layer by layer and found that Wang Xizhi's calligraphy ink had been printed into the board. He cut into the depth of three points before reaching the bottom Woodworking marveled at Wang Xizhi's brushwork. His calligraphy skills were perfect and his brushwork was impressive! Although the legend itself is somewhat exaggerated, it is very appropriate to use it as a metaphor for good calligraphy skills and thorough analysis of problems!

Zhuge Liang (in fact, it should be three visits to the cottage)
The story happened in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Liu Bei heard from counselors Xu Shu and Si Mahui that Zhuge Liang was both talented and learned, so he and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came to Wollongong in Longzhong (now Xiangyang County, Hubei Province) with gifts to invite Zhuge Liang. It happened that Zhuge Liang was away that day, and Liu Bei returned disappointed.

Originally, he didn't want to go again. Zhuge Liang was not at home, so he was urged to go back. Liu Bei had to leave a letter explaining his purpose and then went back.
Although Liu Bei went back, his heart of inviting Zhuge Liang has not changed. In order to show sincerity, he was a vegetarian for three days and prepared to invite Zhuge Liang again. Guan Yu said that Zhuge Liang may exist in name only, but he may not have real talent and learning, so there is no need to go. Zhang Fei said rudely, "Let me go alone. If he doesn't come, I'll tie the ground with a rope. " Liu Bei angrily scolded Zhang Fei.
Zhuge Liang was sleeping when Liu Bei went for the third time. Liu Bei dare not disturb him. He stood there until Zhuge Liang woke up, then sat down to talk and begged him to do something for the country. Zhuge Liang was moved by his sincerity and agreed to Liu Bei's request.

Chu Huaiwang was appointed as the general and Xiang Yu as the lieutenant, and led 200,000 troops to save Zhao. Who knows that Yi Song heard that Qin Jun was very powerful, so he stopped halfway and stopped moving forward. When there was no food in the army, the soldiers cooked vegetables and beans for dinner, and he didn't care. He just throws his own party and eats and drinks. This can make Xiang Yu angry. He killed, became a "fake general" and led troops to save Zhao.
Xiang Yu sent his troops first, cutting off the road of grain transportation in Qin Jun; He personally led the main force across the Zhanghe River to rescue the giant deer.
After all the Chu troops crossed the Zhanghe River, Xiang Yu gave the soldiers a full meal, each with three days' dry food. Then he ordered: the boat crossing the river (called the boat in ancient times) was sunk into the river, the frying pan (called the kettle in ancient times) was smashed into pieces, and the nearby houses were set on fire. It's called cross the rubicon. Xiang Yu used this method to show his determination to make progress and win.
The soldiers of the Chu army saw that the coach was so determined that no one was going to go back alive again. Under the personal command of Xiang Yu, they fought a life-and-death battle with Qin Jun. After nine consecutive charges, Qin Jun was defeated. Some leaders of Qin Jun were killed, some were captured and some surrendered. This battle not only solved the siege of Julu, but also beat Qin Jun out of the water. Two years later, the Qin Dynasty perished.

Later generations used the idiom "looking at plums to quench thirst" as a metaphor to comfort themselves with fantasy.
