Ouyang of the Tang Dynasty asked about his travels and saw an ancient stele, which was written by Suo Jing of the Jin Dynasty. Standing on horseback to watch, it took a long time to leave. After several hundred steps, he dismounted and stood there. When he was tired, he sat down and watched in cloth, and stayed beside him for three days before leaving.
Translation:
In the Tang Dynasty, Ouyang Xun once traveled and accidentally saw an ancient stele. It turned out to be written by Suo Jing, a famous calligrapher in the Jin Dynasty, so he stopped and browsed for a long time before leaving. After a few hundred steps, he came back, dismounted and stood in front of the monument to observe. When he was tired, he spread out his leather clothes and sat down to observe. Then he slept next to it and did not leave until three days and three nights.
Ouyang Xun was a calligrapher. When he saw good calligraphy, it was like a mouse seeing rice, a kitten seeing fish, and a dog seeing bones. When he saw good calligraphy, he couldn't put it down until he studied it. Don’t leave until it’s almost done.
