It is said that once, Wang Xizhi passed a bridge in Yin Shan (now Shaoxing). An old woman went to a charity sale with a basket of hexagonal bamboo fans. That kind of bamboo fan is very simple, without any decoration, which can't attract the interest of passers-by. It seems that it can't be sold, and the old woman is very anxious.
The old woman can't read, and she feels that his handwriting is scrawled, so she is very unhappy. Wang Xizhi comforted her and said, "Don't worry. You told the fan buyer that it was written by Wang Youjun. " As soon as Wang Xizhi left, the old woman did as he said. Collectors rushed to buy Wang Youjun's calligraphy after seeing it. A basket of bamboo fans soon sold out.
2. Goose's book
Wang Xizhi, a book sage, likes geese very much. He thinks that keeping geese can not only cultivate sentiment, but also learn some calligraphy theory from observing the movements of geese.
When the Taoist heard that the famous Wang Xizhi wanted to buy it, he said, "As long as Wang Youjun can help me copy a copy of Huang Ting Jing, I will give him some geese. Wang Xizhi readily agreed, which made this book a story of exchanging white geese. " .
3. Make up Spring Festival couplets skillfully
Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher, writes Spring Festival couplets on the door every New Year's Eve. Because his handwriting is called "the best running script in the world", many people want it and it is rare. So every year on New Year's Eve, his Spring Festival couplets are posted, and before midnight, they are secretly removed. This year, New Year's Eve came again, and Wang Xizhi still wrote the Spring Festival couplets of "double happiness, double misfortune", leaving the second half sentence.
4. Don't shy away from this word.
Fei Songzhi, Liu Laozhi, Kou, Sima Fuzhi, Sima Liangzhi, Sima Jingzhi, Sima ... Wang Xizhi's sons Xuanzhi, Ningzhi, Huiji, Cao Zhi and Xianzhi; Sun Zizhen's, Jing Zhi. Why don't these people avoid family secrets? There is a big secret hidden here, a secret related to Sean in the Western Han Dynasty.
5. Taoist love
Wang Xizhi, a famous calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, reached the height of "reaching the peak". The reason is closely related to Wang Xizhi's belief in Taoism and the unity of calligraphy and Taoism. Taoism, which was born and bred, produced Taoist symbols very early. When copying Confucian classics, it must be copied by students who are good at calligraphy, but in the process of writing Confucian classics, they are unconsciously influenced by Taoist culture.
