Wang Xizhi came to Tiantai Mountain before the renovation of Lanting Pavilion, and was attracted by the beautiful scenery of Tiantai Mountain, so he lived at the top of the mountain. He enjoyed the sunrise and the wonders of the sea of clouds, waves and fog, and kept practicing calligraphy, washing pens and inkstones, and even dyed a clear blue pool of water black. This is the origin of Mo Chi's name.

One night, Wang Xizhi practiced calligraphy until late at night. He looked and thought word by word, but he was still not satisfied with his handwriting. He watched and practiced, so tired that he fell on the table with a pen. Suddenly, a breeze blew and a white cloud floated by. On the cloud, an old man with a silver beard smiled at him and said, "Your handwriting is good!" " "

"Where, where!" Wang Xizhi offered to sit down and answered modestly. Seeing the old man carefully looking at his handwriting, he asked, "Lao Zhang, please correct me."

The old man saw Wang Xizhi's sincerity and said, "You reach out."

Wang Xizhi doesn't know what the old man is going to do. Seeing that the old man was serious and didn't like joking, he slowly reached over. The old man took the pen and said with a smile, "I think you are sincere in learning to write, so that you can understand a pen formula, which will work in the future."

When the old man finished, he wrote a word on Wang Xizhi's palm, then nodded and said, "You will make faster progress." Just say it and leave. Wang Xizhi quickly shouted, "Where is your husband's house?" I heard a faint voice in the air: "White clouds on the roof ..."

Wang Xizhi saw at a glance that his palm was "forever". He compared, rowed, wrote and practiced, and finally realized that the strokes of the square characters and the tricks of the shelf structure were all embodied in the word "forever". Teacher Baiyun's teaching is really a good pen! From then on, Wang Xizhi practiced calligraphy harder, and his calligraphy was more free and easy, which was wonderful.

Later, Wang Xizhi returned to Shaoxing, met with literary friends in Lanting, and wrote the calligraphy treasure "Preface to Lanting". Wang Xizhi never forgot the word "Yong" inscribed by Mr. Baiyun Mountain, and wrote a book "Huang Ting Jing" in good faith, which was placed in a sudden and steep cave on the top of the mountain, and was later called "Huang Ting Cave".

2. Liu Gongquan practices calligraphy hard.

One day, Liu Gongquan and several friends held a "reading club". At this time, an old man selling tofu saw his handwriting, "I can write about Feng Fei's family background and dare to boast in front of people." He felt that the child was too proud and frowned and said, "This word is not well written, just like my tofu, it is soft, flat and spineless. Is it worth boasting in front of people? " Hearing this, Hsiao Kung chuan said unhappily, "Write some words for me if you can."

The old man smiled heartily and said, "No, I dare not. I am a clown and can't write well. " However, some people write with their feet much better than you! If you don't believe me, go to Huajing. "The next day, Hsiao Kung chuan got a vigil and went to Huajing alone. As soon as he entered the capital of China, he saw many people gathered around a big pagoda tree.

He squeezed into the crowd and saw a black and thin old man, without arms and barefoot, sitting on the ground, his left foot pressing paper, his right foot holding a pen, writing couplets freely, and his handwriting was like a galloping horse, while flying while flying, which won applause from the onlookers.

Xiao Gongquan plopped down on his knees in front of the old man and said, "I would like to worship you as a teacher, please tell me the secret of writing ..." The old man quickly pulled Xiao Gongquan up with his feet and said, "I am a lonely man, born without hands, and I can only live skillfully with my feet. How can I be a teacher? " Xiao Gongquan begged, and the old man spread a piece of paper on the ground and wrote a few words with his right foot:

"Write eight cylinders of water, inkstone dyed black; 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.

3. Wang Xizhi and Swan Jiaozi.

Wang Xizhi loved to practice calligraphy since he was a child. When he was 7 years old, he learned calligraphy from the calligrapher Mrs. Wei. He concentrates on his efforts and makes progress every day. In less than three years, his pen was heavy and frustrated. In the calligraphy competition held by Langya Taishou, he won the first prize in one fell swoop, which shocked the famous calligraphers in Fiona Fang Baili. For a time, the praise was constant and the guests were full. Wang Xizhi, who just turned 10, can't help feeling proud under such circumstances.

One day, Wang Xizhi passed an alley and saw a group of people making noise in front of a restaurant. Especially the couplets on the shop door are particularly eye-catching. It says: delicious, famous, handsome and loved by everyone. The horizontal plaque says "Swan Jiaozi". But the words are lifeless, lack of kung fu and plain.

After reading it, Wang Xizhi curled his lips and thought, this kind of word that lacks kung fu can only be used in front of this humble alley shop to make a fool of himself! But he also thought: delicious, famous and handsome, everyone loves it. What's so surprising about jiaozi? Whose shop is this in jiaozi? How dare you be so arrogant!

When Wang Xizhi walked into the shop, he saw four large iron pots filled with boiling water and placed them under a screen. The wrapped jiaozi flew over the screen like white birds, and landed in the boiling pot impartially.

The waiter in jiaozi's shop is busy greeting the diners. Each waiter is in charge of a pot. Count off: No.1 pot is half a catty, ok, 1 catty again. ""No.2 pot weighs half a catty. " "No.3 pot is 92 liang ..."

Curious, Wang Xizhi conveniently took out a few coppers, asked for half a catty of jiaozi and sat down. Jiaozi soon served on the table. He looked at it carefully. jiaozi here is really different, delicate and delicate, like a white swan frolicking in the water. Xiang Tiange is really great.

He picked up a jiaozi with chopsticks, gently took a bite and sent it to his mouth. Ah, suddenly it's delicious. Before I knew it, I swallowed all the plates of jiaozi. After a full meal, it was really memorable.

Wang Xizhi couldn't help saying to himself, "This swan jiaozi really deserves its reputation." I thought to myself: It's just that the couplet at the door is so badly written that it really doesn't deserve this jiaozi. Why don't I, Wang Xizhi, take this opportunity to write another couplet for the hotel and live up to this delicious meal? Thinking of this, he asked the man, "Where is the shopkeeper?" The clerk pointed to the screen and said, "Hui Xianggong, the shopkeeper is behind the screen."

Wang Xizhi bypassed the screen and saw a white-haired old woman sitting in front of the chopping board, rolling dough and wrapping jiaozi. Fill in the stuffing, pinch it a few times quickly, and instantly turn into a skilled white swan.

To his surprise, after jiaozi wrapped it, the white-haired woman threw jiaozi at the screen. Swan jiaozi flew over the screen one by one and landed in the pot. Every two or five, according to the number reported by the buddy, how much is put in each pot and the weight is exactly the same.

Wang Xizhi was amazed by the superb skills of the white-haired old woman. Quickly asked: "old man, how long will it take to practice your kung fu?"

The white-haired woman replied, "To tell you the truth, it takes forty years to master it and a lifetime to practice it deeply." Hearing this, Wang Xizhi couldn't help thinking silently and savoring the taste of this sentence. Then he asked, "You are so skilled, why don't you ask the people at the door to write better?" Not with this swan jiaozi! "

Wang Xizhi didn't ask how she was, but when she asked, the white-haired old woman became angry. She said angrily, "xianggong" doesn't know. It's not that I'm too old to invite, but it's not easy to invite! Take Wang Xizhi, who just appeared, for example. He was praised! As the saying goes, there is no limit to learning, and strive for the upper reaches with diligence. The first row is proud and will eventually fall behind. "

The words of the white-haired girl made Wang Xizhi blush and feel ashamed. He respectfully wrote a couplet to the old woman. Since then, this swan jiaozi shop has hung up the couplets written by Wang Xizhi, and its business is getting more and more prosperous.

This incident also changed Wang Xizhi's life and made him attached to geese all his life. Practise calligraphy more humbly and assiduously, learn from others' strengths, study the physical situation intensively, bring forth the old and bring forth the new, and create a vigorous and changeable new body with both form and spirit, which is famous all over the world. Become a famous calligrapher in the history of China.

4, concentrate on learning ink as a meal.

When Wang Xizhi was about five or six years old, Mrs. Bai Wei studied calligraphy for her teacher. His calligraphy has made rapid progress. At the age of seven, he was famous in the local area for his writing, which was very popular and praised by his predecessors.

When Wang Xizhi was 1 1, he read The Story of the Pen, which only adults could understand. He got up every morning and practiced writing in the dark according to the method described in Pen Shuo, which was simply fascinating.

After a while, I looked at my handwriting, and there were some changes compared with what I wrote before. One day, his teacher, Mrs. Wei, was taken aback and said, "The child must have seen the secret of calligraphy. I found that his calligraphy has recently reached the level of an adult. In this way, my child's future achievements in calligraphy will definitely drown my reputation. "

Wang Xizhi was not complacent because of the teacher's praise. He worked harder and harder, even 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.

It turned out that when Xi Zhi was eating steamed stuffed buns, he was still looking at the words and thinking about how to write them in his mind. As a result, he mistook the ink for garlic. Mother couldn't help laughing when she saw this scene. Wang Xizhi still doesn't know what's going on Hearing his mother's laughter, he also said, "today's mashed garlic is really fragrant!" "

Wang Xizhi persisted for decades, studied hard, kept posting, and practiced very solid kung fu, which laid the foundation and paved the way for his future development.

5. Zheng Qian Hongye wrote a book

Zheng Qian was a famous scholar and calligrapher in Xuanzong period of Tang Dynasty, and his knowledge was very profound. When he was young, he liked writing and painting, but sadly, his family was so poor that he couldn't even afford paper. How does he practice calligraphy?

There happened to be several rooms of persimmon leaves in the nearby Jionji, so he moved to the temple and used them as paper every day to study hard. After a long time, I finished writing persimmon leaves in several rooms.

Things are troubled and Zheng Qian finally achieved great success. His calligraphy, painting and poetry have made great achievements, which surprised Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, and he called it "Zheng Qian's Three Musts".
