Copy me a copy of Tao Te Ching, and I'll give you the whole flock of geese.
Wang Xizhi likes geese.
(Wang Xizhi) Sex Goose, in Huiji, there was a goose who lived alone and kept a goose. It is good at singing, but it can't get the market, just look at the lives of relatives and friends. I heard Xihe was coming, and I cooked for him. Xihe regretted it for a long time. There is also a Taoist priest in Yin Shan who keeps geese well. He is very happy with his visit and seeks the market. The Taoist said, "In order to write the Tao Te Ching, gifts should be given to a group of people." Xihe happily finished writing and went home in a cage, very happy. Its appointment rate is so. After tasting the student's home, I saw it was smooth and clean. Because that book is really half grass. Later, his father accidentally scraped it off, and the students were shocked and depressed. I also tried to see an old man basking in the sun in Lushan Mountain and sold it with a hexagonal bamboo fan. The Book of Xi has its fans, and each fan has five roles. At first, Mu was very sad because he said, "But this is Wang Youjun's book, in order to get rid of money." Like he said, someone made an offer. Another day passed, and Mussina came again with a fan. Xi just laughed and didn't answer. His books are very important to the world, and all books are of this kind.
Translation of Wang Xizhi's Love Goose
Wang Xizhi loves geese by nature. An old woman in Huiji keeps a goose named Jing. Wang Xizhi wanted to buy it, but he didn't, so he took his relatives and friends to see it. When the old woman heard that Wang Xizhi was coming, she slaughtered the goose and cooked it for Wang Xizhi. Wang Xizhi sighed all day. Another Taoist priest in Yin Shan keeps some good geese. Wang Xizhi went to see it and was very happy. He insisted on buying them. The Taoist priest said, "As long as you can help me copy the Tao Te Ching, I will give you all my geese." Wang Xizhi happily copied the Tao Te Ching and came back with a goose in a cage, feeling very happy. Such is his willfulness and frankness. He once went to his house and saw one or more boxes smooth and clean, so he wrote on them, half in regular script and half in cursive script. These words were later scratched by the servant's father by mistake, and the servant was annoyed for several days. He once saw an old woman in Mangshan, holding a hexagonal fan in her hand and crying for it. Wang Xizhi wrote five words on the hexagonal fan of the old woman. The old woman was a little unhappy at first, so Wang Xizhi said to her, "As long as it is written by Wang Youjun, it can be sold for 100 yuan." According to the old woman, many people rushed to buy this fan. Another day, the old woman came with a fan, and Wang Xizhi just laughed. Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is respected by the world, just like this!
