1, post couplets at night
One year on New Year's Day, Wang Xizhi posted couplets three times in a row, and those who loved his words stole them. I have to write another letter on New Year's Eve. He was afraid of being caught again, so he cut it up and down and put half on each side first. The first part is a blessing, and the second part is a curse.
It really worked. When people saw that what he wrote was not auspicious and prosperous, they stopped revealing it. At the beginning of the new year, Wang Xizhi posted another half, which became a blessing. It never rains but it pours. Hearing this, passers-by clapped their hands and sighed.
2. Bizuka
Zhiyong Zen master, from Sui and Tang Dynasties, is the seventh grandson of Wang Xizhi. Because he practiced calligraphy very hard, all the broken brushes were discarded in the bamboo basket. After years of life, he accumulated five baskets, so he wrote an inscription and buried these pens, which was called the pen grave, to show his love for books and his treasure for things.
3. Ouyang Tong went to school and bought his father's word.
Ouyang Tong is the son of Ou Yangxun. Ou Yangxun died when he was very young. After Ouyang Tong became sensible, his mother began to teach him to learn his father's calligraphy. Ouyang Tong is small and has been practicing calligraphy for a long time. He wants to go out to play, and his handwriting is average. Mother said to him, son, your father's handwriting is very good, and many people pay high prices for his handwriting. You should write as well as your father.
Ouyang Tong listened and said, "I can write as good as my father's handwriting, but I don't know what my father's handwriting looks like when he buys it." After that, he often accumulated the exotic flowers and plants given by his mother and bought back the words that his father had sold to others before. When people refused to sell, he paid a high price.
Knowing that his father's handwriting is really good, he stopped being lazy to practice it. After several years of hard study, Ouyang Tong's handwriting is as good as his father's, and more people come to buy his handwriting.
Step 4 ask for rice paste
Yan Zhenqing, an old minister in the Tang Dynasty, was honest and upright, and enjoyed a high reputation in China. However, because of his honesty and self-sufficiency, he is never greedy, so he often cannot support himself.
He once wrote a begging letter to Li Taibao at that time, saying that he was poor in production and had many index fingers at home. The whole family has been drinking porridge for several months, and now there is no rice, which is very annoying. I hope for the sake of old friendship, I can ask for some food for relief. Yan Zhenqing's achievements in calligraphy have always been admired by later generations, and also inspired by his personality to some extent.
5. Liu Gongquan writes poems to help others.
Tang Wuzong was angry with a female official in the palace for a long time. Later, he called her in and said to Liu Gongquan, "I am very dissatisfied with this person. I won't blame her if I can get one of your works. " So he handed him dozens of pieces of paper made in Shu County and put them on the imperial case.
Without thinking, Liu Gongquan immediately wrote a quatrain: "Regardless of the past, I have always been willing to stand alone in Nagato. But now the king has taken care of him and went back to the pepper room to wipe his tears. " The emperor was very happy, and gave him 200 pieces of brocade, and asked the female official to come forward to thank him.
