Mifei learned to write in the library of a private school when she was a child. He studied for three years, but he failed. One day, a scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam passed by the village. Mi Fei heard that the scholar wrote a good hand, so he went to ask for advice. The scholar looked through a stack of papers written by Mi Fei in his post. If he realized something, he said to him, "If you want to learn to write with me, you have to buy my papers on one condition. But it's a little more expensive, five taels of silver. " Miffy was surprised and thought, "How can there be such expensive paper? Aren't people hard? " Seeing his hesitation, the scholar said, "Forget it if it's too expensive!" I wasted a lot of money to learn, so I lent five taels of silver to the scholar. The scholar handed him a piece of paper and said, "Go back and write well and show it to me in three days."
At home, Mifei looked around with a piece of paper bought by Wuliangye, and dared not use it easily. So I opened the copybook and scratched it on the case with a pen that was not dipped in ink, thinking about the shelf and nib of each word, and I was fascinated by it.
Three days later, the scholar came. Seeing Mi Fei sitting there, pen in hand, staring at the copybook, but not writing a word on the paper, he pretended to be surprised and asked, "Why haven't you written yet?" Miffy was shocked and woke up like a dream, only to remember that the three-day deadline had arrived and murmured, "I, I'm afraid I wasted the paper." The scholar laughed and pointed at the paper with a fan and said, "Well, I've been thinking about it for three days. Write me a word! " "
Miffy began to write a word "forever". The scholar took it and saw that the handwriting was good, much better than the previous one. He asked, "If you can't write well in three years, why can you write well in three days?" Miffy replied cautiously, "Because this piece of paper is expensive, I'm afraid of wasting it. I dare not write like before, but I have carefully thought over the words first ... "
"Yes!" The scholar interrupted Mi Fei and said, "To learn Chinese characters, we should not only write, but also be tempted. We should not only observe its shape, but also understand its spirit and get information, so as to write well. Now that you know the tricks of writing, I should go. " As he spoke, the scholar added seven words to the paper with the word "Yong": "(Yong) never forgets, and the tattoo is five or two." Then he returned the five taels of sycee in his pocket to Mi Fei, and went out on the road to catch the exam.
Mi Fei has always put these five taels of silver on his desk, always remembering this painstaking first teacher and encouraging himself to study hard and practice hard.
