Once, Wang Xizhi went to visit a friend. Because he didn't go out for a long time, he wore a very ordinary dress. People in the village don't recognize him as a famous calligrapher, thinking that he is an ordinary guest and is very cold to him.
A friend took him home, and a girl was practicing calligraphy. Wang Xizhi read her handwriting and began to guide. The girl was very grateful after hearing this. Wang Xizhi said with a smile, "I just told you what I know. You can write as well as me as long as you practice hard. "
Later, the girl worked harder to practice calligraphy, and her handwriting became better and better, even surpassing that of Wang Xizhi. People in the village were also surprised by her progress and asked her for advice.
This story tells us that as long as we study and practice hard, we can constantly improve our abilities, even surpassing those who seem out of reach. This is one of the reasons why Wang Xi became a great calligrapher. Through continuous efforts and study, he reached the pinnacle of art.
The life of the character
Wang Xizhi was born in Langya Wang, a famous family in Wei and Jin Dynasties. He is the second son of Wang Kuang, and his hometown is Nanrenli, the capital of Linyi County, Langya County. According to the accepted statement, Wang Xizhi was born in the second year of Jin Hui Tai 'an (303). I lived in Kaiyang county when I was a child. When Wang Xizhi was born, it was the "Eight Kings Rebellion" and the Western Jin Dynasty was in jeopardy. His father Wang Kuang suggested that Si Marui, the king of Langya, move south.
When Wang Xizhi was five years old, famous families, including Wang Langya, crossed the river with their families and Si Marui, which was called "Nandu" in history. When Wang Langya first came to Jianye, he lived in Wuyi Lane.
When Wang Xizhi was a teenager, there was no data to test. In the third year of Yongjia (309), Wang Kuang led the troops to save Huguan, and his whereabouts were unknown after the whole army was defeated. This year, Wang Xizhi was seven years old. In the days of Jianye, "mother and brother got married and got better and better". I loved calligraphy since I was a child and was enlightened by my father Wang Kuang and my uncle Wang Xun. I also learned books from my menstruation Mrs Wei.
