Wen Zhiming wrote A Thousand Words, at the rate of ten books a day, and the books made great progress. I have lived in books all my life, and I have never hesitated, or simply answered people, and I have never taken pains again and again, so the older I get, the more subtle I am.

Wen Zhiming supervised the writing of Wenziwen, with ten books written every day as the standard, and calligraphy made rapid progress. He has never been careless in writing all his life. Sometimes answering people's letters is a bit incomplete. I must have rewritten it three times and five times, not afraid of trouble. Therefore, the older he is, the more exquisite and beautiful his calligraphy becomes.
Appreciation: Wen Zhiming's calligraphy tells us that no matter what we do, we must persevere, we must not give up halfway, and we must not be careless; As long as there is a certain accumulation, there will be a qualitative leap. If you want to do it overnight, or if you are careless, you will not succeed. We should also learn knowledge like Wen Zhiming's calligraphy, so as to succeed.

Qin Qing did not dissuade him, but gave him a farewell dinner on the roadside outside the city. Qin Qing patted the festival and sang an elegy. The song shook the trees and the sound stopped the clouds. Tan Xue then apologized to Qin Qing and asked to come back to continue his studies.

Author and Works: From the ancient book Liezi Tang Wen. Liezi was originally a compilation of Liezi's works (Zheng Ren Lieyukou in the early Warring States period), Liezi's disciples and Liezi's later research, and was written in the late Warring States period. Qin Shihuang burned books to bury Confucianism, and Liezi was banned. In the early Han Dynasty, Huang Lao was highly praised, and Liezi became famous all over the world. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only respected Confucianism and ousted hundreds of schools, and his examples were scattered among the people. Emperor Han Chengdi asked for a suicide note on earth, and Liu Xiang compiled the examples into eight articles and hid them in the secret room of the Inner Palace. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Zhang Zhan's Notes on Liezi came out and Liezi was widely circulated.
(3) Fan Zhongyan's Bitterness.
original text
Fan Zhongyan is two years old, lonely, poor and helpless. I have little ambition, and I take the world as my responsibility every time. I either study hard or stay out at night and need to face the water. No food, just read with porridge. As an official, every passionate talk about what's going on in the world is desperate. Even after being slandered, Dengzhou was protected by the government. ‖ Zhong Yan works hard and is self-motivated. He doesn't care about meat, and his wife just has enough food and clothing. I often say to myself: "A scholar worries about the world first, and then enjoys the world."
