Wang Xizhi's story:

It is said that once, Wang Xizhi passed a bridge in Shanyin City (now Shaoxing). An old woman carried a basket of hexagonal bamboo fans to sell at the collection. That kind of bamboo fan is very simple, with no decoration, which can't attract the interest of passers-by. It seems that it can't be sold, and the old woman is very anxious. Seeing this situation, Wang Xizhi sympathized with the old woman, so he went up to her and said, "You can't sell this bamboo fan because there are no pictures or characters on it. How about I give you an inscription? "

The old woman didn't know Wang Xizhi. Seeing his enthusiasm, she gave him a bamboo fan to write. Wang Xizhi took a pen and wrote five words on each fan, and returned them to the old woman. The old woman can't read, and she feels that his handwriting is sloppy and she is very unhappy.

Wang Xizhi comforted her and said, "Don't worry. You told the fan buyer that it was written by Wang Youjun. "As soon as Wang Xizhi left, the old woman did as he said. People on the collection rushed to buy Wang Youjun's calligraphy when they saw it. A basket of bamboo fans will be sold out soon.
