Wang Ci implicitly criticized rudeness
Wang Ci, courtesy name Bobao, was born in Langxie Linyi (now Linyi, Shandong) during the Southern Qi Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Wu of Qi, he served as the prefect of Wu County and Situ Zuo. Long history and other positions.
One day, a friend named Xie Chaozong came to play with Wang Ci. At that time, Wang Ci was practicing writing. Seeing how attentive he was, Chaozong walked up to him and asked: "Compared with Qian Gong, who writes better?"
"Qian" means "Qian". Wang Ci’s father’s name. Wang Sengqian's official writing was quite good and he was quite famous at the time. It stands to reason that it would not be difficult for Wang Ci to answer this question. However, at that time, it was a big taboo to mention the father's name directly in front of his son without any taboo. Wang Ci was very annoyed that Xie Chaozong was so rude, but he remained calm and replied calmly: "Compared with my father, my handwriting is like a chicken compared to a phoenix."
When Xie Chaozong heard this, his face turned red with embarrassment, and he walked away in embarrassment without saying a word. It turns out that Xie Chaozong's father's name is Xie Feng. Wang Ci made a double entendre here, not only expressing his admiration for his father's calligraphy, but also implicitly naming Xie Feng.
Another time when Wang Ci was 10 years old, he and Cai Yue, Cai Xingzong’s son, went to the temple to worship Buddha. At that time, the temple was filled with smoke and the novice monks were chanting sutras with their palms clasped. When Cai Yue saw this, he jokingly said to Wang Ci: "The monks are really called Seng Qian today." This was a deliberate reference to Wang Ci's father's name.
When Wang Ci heard this, he was very angry and said, "You are so rude. How can a person like you promote the Cai family in the future?"
Wang Ci On the one hand, he criticized Cai Yue, and on the other hand, he also implicitly mentioned the name of Cai Yue's father, Cai Xingzong. Cai Yue was immediately speechless and couldn't help but blame himself: "Why am I doing this? I'm really asking for this humiliation!"
