Zhang Zhi, a "sage of grass" at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhong You, a Confucian scholar and regular script writer during the Cao and Wei Dynasties, and Wang's father and son at the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, are called "unique in ancient times". Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher, commented on ancient calligraphy: "Looking for books, Zhong and Zhang Xin are peerless, and the rest are lacking." On the other hand, Wang Xizhi absorbed the essence of Zhong and Zhang and pushed the art of calligraphy to a new height. Wang Xizhi (32 1-379, or 303-36 1), whose real name was Shao Yi, was born in Linyi (present-day Shandong), and later moved to Yin Shan (present-day Shaoxing, Zhejiang) as the general of the right army. He was a great man in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He believes that raising geese can not only cultivate sentiment, but also understand the truth of calligraphy from some gestures of geese. One morning, Wang Xizhi and his son Wang Xianzhi took a boat tour of Shaoxing. When they arrived near Xianshui Village, they saw a flock of white geese on the shore, staggering and dawdling.
Wang Xizhi was fascinated by these white geese and wanted to buy them home. Wang Xizhi asked the Taoist priest nearby, hoping that the Taoist priest could sell him the goose. The Taoist priest said, "If you want it, please write a Taoist book" Huang Ting Jing "for me." Wang Xizhi longed for the goose and readily agreed to the conditions put forward by the Taoist priest. This is the story of "Wang Xizhi gave the White Goose Book". At the age of twenty, A Qiu Chi Jian sent someone to Wang Dao's house to choose a son-in-law. At that time, people paid attention to family status, and the door was right.
When Wang Dao's son and nephew heard that Qiu's family was coming to propose marriage, they all dressed up in disguise, hoping to be selected. Only Wang Xizhi, as if he didn't hear anything, was lying on the bamboo couch in the east, eating baked wheat cakes in one hand and painting clothes in the other. When people came back, they reported what they had seen to Captain Xi.
