After practicing calligraphy every day, I wash my pen in the pool water. After a long time, I have washed a pool of water into ink. This is the legendary Mo Chi that people see in Shaoxing today.
Wang Xizhi gave birth to a sex goose. An old woman in Huiji keeps a goose and sings very well. Wang Xizhi wants to buy it, but the old woman doesn't sell it. So one day, Wang Xizhi took his relatives and friends to see the goose by car. When the old woman heard that Wang Xizhi was coming, she killed the goose and cooked it until Wang Xizhi came. Wang Xizhi regretted it for many days. His beloved goose died because he wanted to see it. There is a Taoist in Yinshan who is good at raising geese.
Wang Xizhi went to see the geese there. He was very happy and insisted on buying these geese. The Taoist priest said, "If you are willing to write me a moral classic, I will give you all these geese." Wang Xizhi readily agreed, finished writing and went home with a cage of geese. Do what you say, don't bully the weak, and exchange what you love reasonably, haha! What a nice guy.
His calligraphy is good at calligraphy, calligraphy, calligraphy, calligraphy, calligraphy, calligraphy, calligraphy, calligraphy, calligraphy, calligraphy, calligraphy, calligraphy, calligraphy, calligraphy, calligraphy, calligraphy, calligraphy. The style is peaceful and natural, the brushwork is euphemistic and subtle, and it is beautiful.
Li Zhimin commented: "Wang Xizhi's calligraphy not only shows simplicity and abstinence based on the philosophy of Laozi and Zhuangzi, but also shows harmony based on the Confucian doctrine of the mean." The masterpiece Preface to Lanting is known as "the best running script in the world". In the history of calligraphy, he and his son Wang Xianzhi were called "two kings".
When practicing calligraphy, he likes to sit by the pool and practice calligraphy every day. I don't know how many times he practiced in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and how many bad written words he wrote. After practicing calligraphy every day, he washes his pen in the pool. After a long time, a pool of water turned black because of washing pens. There is Amochi in Shaoxing today. It is said that Wang Xizhi washed his brush. Although this is only a legend, it fully shows how hard Wang Xizhi practiced calligraphy.
