What are the stories about geese in ancient and modern China and abroad?

Wang Xizhi likes white geese very much. He likes to admire the way it walks. I remember once, Wang Xizhi heard that there was an old woman in the country who had a big white goose, so he went to see it at once. Unfortunately, the old woman just went out. Wang Xizhi looked at the white goose raised by the old woman. It was tall and handsome, and it was really a first-class goose. So Wang Xizhi told her neighbors that the old woman would visit again tomorrow. When the old woman came back, she was very nervous when she heard that Wang Xizhi's adult was coming to visit tomorrow, so she began to clean the house inside and outside and prepare food for Wang Xizhi. But the poor family in the country couldn't find anything good to entertain the guests, and suddenly the old woman had a good idea.

The next day, Wang Xizhi came to visit as promised. Before he could explain his purpose, the hospitable old woman immediately took out the pot and enthusiastically said to Wang Xizhi, there is nothing to entertain adults in our country. This morning, we killed the only white goose in our family and invited Wang Adults to taste it. Wang Xizhi froze on the spot, and it took a long time to return to god.

In addition to this time, Wang Xizhi's raising geese also caused death. It happened to an old monk, because the old monk was very close to Wang Xizhi and often went to Wang Xizhi's home. But once when the old monk left, Wang Xizhi found that one of his favorite pearls was missing. Since no one else was present at that time, he naturally suspected that the old monk had stolen it. A few days later, the old monk came to visit again and found that Wang Xizhi's attitude towards himself became very cold, so he privately asked the servant why. After learning this, the old monk took the worst measures to show his innocence and hanged himself. However, the truth finally came out, and the servant found pearls in the stool of the white goose. It turned out that the old monk came and the white goose followed. When Wang Xizhi was practicing calligraphy, he got up to help the monk pour water, leaving the monk and the white goose alone in the study. The white goose also took this opportunity to swallow the pearl into his stomach, but no one saw it at that time, which caused this unjust case. Wang Xizhi felt deeply guilty and regretted it, so he erected a monument to the monk and renamed his house "Zhu Jie Temple", and never played with pearls again.

On another occasion, Wang Xizhi heard that a Taoist raised a flock of white geese and went to see it at once. Sure enough, every white goose is brave and beautiful. So I wanted to buy it at a high price, but I didn't expect the Taoist priest to refuse to sell it. Wang Xizhi had to beg, but I didn't expect the Taoist priest to say that I would give you the goose as long as you answered my conditions. Seeing that the Taoist priest had prepared Four Treasures of the Study, he said to Wang Xizhi, I will give you the White Goose as long as you are willing to help me copy a copy of the Yellow Pavilion Classic. Hearing this, Wang Xizhi began to write a book. Due to the large number of words in Huang Tingjing, it took him half a day to finish it.

Later, Wang Xizhi dug a goose pond specially for these geese. He often observes the graceful movements of geese by this goose pond and often writes the word "goose" in the hope of "writing" the image and characteristics of geese. Once I was so absorbed in writing that I forgot the time for dinner. Mrs. Wang then sent the snacks to his desk and asked him to eat them while they were hot. Wang Xizhi promised repeatedly, so he dipped his starting point in the inkstone several times and then stuffed it into his mouth, making his mouth full of ink. This scene amused Mrs. Wang. She said, "I think ink is sweeter than sugar to you!" " "

Because of Wang Xizhi's love for geese and long-term practice, it is said that the word "goose" written by Wang Xizhi later reached a vivid level.
