Story introduction
Wang Xizhi had a good life. Whenever he has time, he goes to see the lives of the poor and tries his best to help them solve their sufferings. On one occasion, Wang Xizhi traveled abroad and passed by a lively market where everything was sold. Wang Xizhi was in no hurry, strolling around the market with his servants.
There is a river that divides the market in two, and an old woman sells fans by the river. The old lady is in rags and looks ugly. At first glance, she looks like an old man from a poor family.
The fans bought by the old woman are all bamboo fans woven at home, without any decoration. They are all made of the cheapest materials. Fans look ugly. Few passers-by stopped to buy the old lady's fans, and none of them were sold.
Wang Xizhi sympathized with the old woman and decided to help the old man. Wang Xizhi came to the old woman's booth and took a look at the old woman's fan. The old woman's booth has no customers for a long time. Finally, a well-dressed man came and bought a fan. The old woman was very excited and hurried forward to introduce her fan to Wang Xizhi.
Wang Xizhi looked at the fan and said to the old woman, I can not only help you sell the fan, but also sell it at a good price. The old woman held up Wang Xizhi's boast and showed a puzzled expression on her face.
Wang Xizhi said that I wrote a few words on your fans, and you said that all the words on these fans were written by Wang Xizhi. You mentioned the above price. If you can't sell it, I'll take all the fans. If you sell it, all the money you earn is yours.
The old woman thought she could try it according to Wang Xizhi's method, so she gave the fan to Wang Xizhi, and Wang Xizhi quickly wrote on the fan with a brush.
In a short time, she wrote her own calligraphy on all the fans, and the old woman peddled with a fan and told people in the market that Wang Xizhi had written an inscription on the fan. Most of the literati in the market like Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, and everyone is scrambling to buy the old woman's fan. In a short time, the old woman's fans were sold out, and the old woman returned home happily with the money she earned.
People who study often say that when they are developed, they should help all the people in the world, and when they are poor, they should improve their moral character, don't do ungrateful things, and do their best to help people around them. Scholars of all ages have taken this as their goal and tried their best.
