Cheng Yi was a famous Neo-Confucianism and thinker in the Northern Song Dynasty. At the age of 24, he became a monk and taught in Kaifeng.
Once, his students Shi Yang and You Zuo went to Chengfu, Henan Province to visit their teacher.
It was the middle of winter, and I saw Mr. Cheng Yi in the hall with his eyes closed. In fact, he was pretending to sleep and observing.
Seeing this, the two disciples quietly withdrew and waited in the yard.
Unexpectedly, it began to snow. They braved the snow and waited for a long time. Franz Chen opened his eyes and saw that the snow had buried the instep of the students.
Allusions advocate and exaggerate the traditional thought of respecting teachers and valuing education.
2. Lingering Garden, one of the four famous gardens in China, has a building named Quxilou on the east side of the central pool. The rare octagonal doorway is engraved with the word "Quxi", which was written by Wen Zhiming.
Quxi originated from the allusions of Qushui.
In the ninth year of Yonghe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Wang Xizhi, a book sage, and 42 relatives and friends played the game of "Quliu Shuixiang" in Lanting, Shaoxing, Zhejiang. Eleven of them each wrote two poems, fifteen wrote one, eleven handed in blank paper, and each was fined three times.
Wang Xizhi put these poems together and prefaced them with silk cocoon paper and moustache, counting 28 lines and 324 words, which is the world-famous Preface to Lanting Collection, praised by later generations as the best running script in the world.
In his article, Wang Xizhi not only described the beautiful natural scenery of Lanting, but also expressed the happy mood of his friends. His calligraphy is full of vigor and vitality, including more than 20 characters of "Zhi".
