1, Yan Zhenqing-begging post
Yan Zhenqing, an old minister of three dynasties in Tang Dynasty, is honest and upright, and enjoys a high reputation at home and abroad. But because of honesty and self-sufficiency, I will never be greedy, so I often can't eat and wear. He once wrote a begging letter to Li Taibao at that time, saying that he was poor in production and had many index fingers at home. The whole family has been drinking porridge for several months, and now there is no rice, which is very annoying. I hope to ask for some food relief for the sake of old friendship.
2. Wang Xizhi-Becoming a Goose
There is a Taoist in Yinshan. He wants Wang Xizhi to write a moral classic for him. But he knew that Wang Xizhi would not copy scriptures for others easily. Later, he found that Wang Xizhi liked white geese, so he specially raised a number of geese with good varieties. Wang Xizhi watched by the river and was reluctant to leave, so he sent someone to find a Taoist priest and asked to sell him the goose.
The Taoist priest said with a smile, "Since the princes love eating so much, they don't have to spend any money. I'll give you all these geese. But I have a request, that is, please write a volume of scriptures for me. " Wang Xizhi did not hesitate to copy a scroll of scriptures for Taoist priests, and the goose was taken back by Wang Xizhi.
3. Wang Xizhi-Mo Dangfan
Wang Xizhi's post has reached the point of forgetting to eat and sleep. Once at lunch, bookish, he brought his favorite garlic paste and steamed bread and urged him to eat it quickly several times. He still didn't even look up, as if he didn't hear, absorbed in reading posts and writing. The meal was cold, so Jibang had to ask Wang Xizhi's mother to persuade him to eat. Mother came to the study, only to find Xihe holding a steamed bread stained with ink and sending it to her mouth, making her mouth black.

Master Zhiyong is good at regular script and cursive script, and can master Wang Xizhi's demeanor. Although he practiced in Yongxing Temple, his calligraphy became more and more famous. Many people ask for his calligraphy works through various relationships. People came and went in an endless stream, and the threshold was trampled, so he had to wrap the threshold with iron sheets. People laughed and called it "iron gate limit".
5, Liu Gongquan-hard calligraphy.
Liu Gongquan and several friends held a "reading party". An old man selling tofu saw his handwriting and thought the child was too proud. After saying a word, Liu Gongquan refused. When Liu Gongquan saw the old man's handwriting, he knelt in front of the old man and wanted to learn from the teacher. The old man spread a piece of paper on the ground and wrote a few words with his right foot: "Write eight jars of water with black inkstone;" When you win hundreds of parents, you will get a phoenix in Yi Long. "
Liu Gongquan kept the old man's words in mind and worked hard to practice calligraphy. Thick cocoons were ground on the hands and the elbows were patched layer by layer. After hard training, Liu Gongquan finally became a famous calligrapher in China.
