Mi Fei: Mi Fei, a great calligrapher in Song Dynasty, likes to collect calligraphy and painting. At the same time, he is also a master of copying, and even reached the realm of confusing the real with the fake. Usually, I borrow the calligraphy and painting collected by others to copy, and then return the copied ones to others, and collect the original works myself, and the owner has no idea.
Once, he and his friend Cai You traveled by boat. Cai You took out a piece of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy to watch. Mifei liked it very much and asked Cai You to give it to him. Cai You refused, and Mifei threatened to jump into the river! Cai You reluctantly agreed to him.
At that time, people called Mi Fei's move "surprise", which is the origin of the idiom "surprise".
Wang Huizhi:
Wang Huizhi, the fifth son of Wang Xizhi, is arrogant and unrestrained.
One winter, it snowed heavily for several days, and one night, the snow stopped. At this time, the moonlight is bright and the scenery is very beautiful. Wang Huizhi was very happy to see the scenery, so he asked his family to move out the desks and chairs, get a dining table and enjoy the scenery alone ... Suddenly, he remembered his friend Dai Kui, who can play the piano and draw pictures. Why not enjoy the scenery with Dai Kui? He thought.
So he asked his servant to punt for Dai Kui. No matter where Dai Kui is, it is far from here. The scenery along the way is beautiful, just like entering a dream. Wang Huizhi urged the servant to hurry up and couldn't wait to see Dai Kui at once.
The ship sailed all night and arrived at Dai Kui's residence at dawn the next day. Wang Huizhi suddenly asked his servant to punt back. The servant was puzzled: "Why don't you go and see Dai Kui when you arrive?" Wang Huizhi said, "I came here on a whim, but now I'm not interested. Why do I have to see Dai Kui? "
This is the idiom "on a whim".
Wang Xizhi:
There are many stories about Wang Xizhi. These idioms all belong to Wang Xizhi. I'm too lazy to fight. Find it yourself.
"In a word, it's worth a thousand dollars": Emperor Taizong ordered monk Huairen to collect Wang Xizhi's words and compile the Preface to the Holy Teaching, which was a big project. When individual words cannot be collected, call the world and reward the daughter of each word provided.
Have a well-thought-out plan: Wen Tong, a painter in the Northern Song Dynasty, advocated a well-thought-out plan before writing.
Never before, never after: This idiom comes from Xuan He Hua Pu, in which Gu (Gu Kaizhi, a painter in Jin Dynasty) is the first, Zhang (Zhang Sengyou, a painter in Southern Dynasties) is the last, and Daozi (Wu Daozi, a painter in Tang Dynasty) has both.
Make the finishing point: Zhang Sengyou, a painter from Southern Liang Dynasty, painted four dragons for a temple, but did not draw eyes. People asked him why he didn't light his eyes, and he replied that if he did, the dragon would fly away. The viewer thinks this is ridiculous and doesn't believe it. Monk Zhang had no choice but to focus on the dragon. Just when I ordered the second dragon, all of a sudden, dark clouds were gathering, the wind was blowing, and there was lightning and thunder. Two dragons that have finished their eyes are in the air! ! They were stunned, and there were only two dragons with no eyes left on the wall!
Getting Better: Gu Kaizhi, a famous painter in Jin Dynasty, lived a very casual life. Once I ate sugar cane with my friends and enjoyed the scenery by the river. Gu Kaizhi was fascinated by the scenery, intoxicated by the beautiful scenery, and actually began to eat from the sugar cane powder. A friend smiled and asked him how he tasted, and then he lost his mind and felt embarrassed. He had a brainwave and said: Eat from the tip, and it will gradually become sweet. This is called getting better and better!
