The big pen is like a rafter, which is a metaphor for a calligrapher.
Da pen is like a rafter, a Chinese idiom whose pinyin is dà bǐ rú chuán. It originally means to praise someone else's powerful writing or the grandeur of the article. Nowadays, it mostly refers to great writers and generous writers. From: "Book of Jin·Biography of Wang Xun": Xun dreamed that someone used a big pen like a rafter to deal with it. When he realized it, he said to the person: "This must be a big deal." When Emperor Erer (Emperor Xiaowu of Jin Dynasty, Sima Yao) passed away, all the memorials and posthumous proposals were written by Xun.
Idiom story: Wang Xun was quick-thinking since he was a child and could write prose and poetry very well. He was hired as the bookkeeper when he was twenty years old. Once, in order to test Wang Xun's courage, Huan Wen deliberately rode a horse from the back hall straight into the hall during a meeting in Da Sima's Mansion. The staff were so frightened that they ran away in panic, but Wang Xun remained calm and composed. Sit still.
Huan Wen sighed and said: Anyone who can sit firmly in front of a galloping horse will definitely be a black-headed man in the future! In order to test Wang Xun's talents, Huan Wen sent someone to secretly take away the manuscript of Wang Xun's speech while his staff were discussing matters. When Wang Xi spoke, he was eloquent and eloquent. Huan Wen took out his manuscript and compared it, and found that what he said was the same as what was written in the manuscript.
But the words are not the same, so I can’t help but admire him very much. One night, Wang Shi had a dream in which someone gave him a large pen like a rafter. After waking up, he said to his family: I dreamed that someone gave me a large sum of money like a rafter. It seemed that I was asked to do something big. Wang Xun's prediction immediately became a reality. On this morning, Emperor Xiaowu of Jin died suddenly because Wang died for his outstanding writing style.
