Original text (excerpt): The heavens and the earth are mysterious and the universe is vast. The sun and the moon are full, and Chen Su is on the list. Cold comes and summer goes, autumn harvest and winter storage. Striding into adulthood, rhythm and temperament adjust Yang. It rains in Yun Teng, and the dew becomes frost.
The sky is blue and black, the earth is yellow, and the universe is formed in a state of chaos and ignorance. The sun is oblique to the right, the moon is round, and the stars are all over the boundless space. Cold and summer cycle alternately, come and go, come and go, harvest crops in autumn and store food in winter. Accumulate leap profits for several years and do it for one month.

The full name of Qian Wen Zi is The Book of Two Rhymes of Wang Xizhi, which is a verse composed of 1000 words. Compiled in Liang Wudi period (502? —549? Years), with a history of about 1500 years, Xiao Yan, Liang Wudi is well-read and loves Wang Xizhi's calligraphy very much, so people choose 1000 words with different names from Wang Xizhi's ink.
He also asked Zhou Xingsi, assistant minister of Sanshui, to write this word 1000 into a popular article with four rhymes. It took Zhou Xingsi only one night to write a submission to Emperor Wu. This is the "thousand-character essay" that has been handed down to this day. Zhou is a textbook for thousands of years. Because of its clever thinking, profound knowledge and harmonious phonology, it is suitable for children to remember.
