During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was an outstanding calligrapher named Wang Xizhi, who liked calligraphy very much when he was young. He writes many words every day. Because of persistent practice, his calligraphy has made rapid progress. He used a lot of ink and ruined many works. After practicing every day, I wash my pen in the pond, and I wash a pool of water into ink for a long time.
Once, he was so absorbed in writing in his study that he forgot to eat. Mother had to ask extremely young people to bring him food. There are steamed bread and Wang Xizhi's favorite garlic paste. My mother came to see Xiao Xizhi in the study, and she laughed her head off as soon as she entered the study. It turned out that Wang Xizhi read the copybook while eating, and actually dipped the ink into garlic and ate it, making his mouth black.
It was not until he heard his mother laugh that he suddenly realized. Wang Xizhi turned ink into garlic paste! It was because Wang Xizhi studied calligraphy with great concentration, assiduousness and seriousness that he later became one of the outstanding calligraphers in the history of China.

Wang Xizhi's Personal Experience
Three formal resignations, two resignations.
In his own learning process, Wang Xizhi's fundamental pursuit of cosmic life and his pursuit of art completely occupied an overwhelming position. But at that time, everyone in the world wanted to be an official, and the Wangs were no exception.
Once Wang Xizhi became an official, it was not simply for the sake of "rice and Liang". He had an ideal, which was an ideal of scholars at that time-guiding political unification with Taoism. It is not based on the idea of the ruling party, but on the conscience and conscience of cultural people to influence politics. Moreover, his belief is very firm.
Therefore, Wang Xizhi resigned three times and twice in his life. He completely realized his lifelong "ambiguous" ideal. Of all the celebrities and officials in the Jin Dynasty, I'm afraid only Wang Xizhi can really be ambiguous.
At that time, many people advocated the Northern Expedition, but Wang Xizhi wrote many times not to do so. Wang Xizhi believes that the strategy of the country at that time was not to blindly explore the north and use force, but to repair internal affairs and unify the Central Plains with culture. If the world is not recognized culturally, it will still be divided.
Wang Xizhi's main roles before his death were celebrity leaders, outstanding politicians and representatives of the Wang family. From this point of view, in his life, there are many wonderful chapters that are little known except the administration.
During his more than 30 years in politics, the DPRK and China formed the "three-person" power core many times: Wang Dao, Chi Jian and Yu Liang; Cai Mo, Sima Yu, Yin Hao; Huan Wen, Sima Yi, Yin Hao and so on. Throughout the ruling and opposition parties, Wang Xizhi is the only one who is closely related to the above-mentioned officials and can speak at any time.
He resolved the contradiction between Wang Dao and Yu Liang, reconciled the bad blood between Huan Wen and Yin Hao, and wrote to Sima Yu, saying that he should explore the north cautiously and change his internal affairs. Such an important event is an empty step of the imperial court for decades. Only a celebrity leader, a representative of Wang Men and a "bone" character can do this.
