Why is Wang Xizhi, the "Book Sage", so angry?

How did Wang Xizhi die? In romance novels, the protagonist Zhou Yu is angry; In history, Wang Xizhi, who was known as the "sage of books" in ancient times, was also angry. I really sigh when I think about it.

Wang Xizhi is sad not by others, but by himself. In fact, Zhou Yu was not grieved by others, but also by himself. If Zhou Yure were a little more generous and didn't have the bad feelings of envy, jealousy and hatred, how could he be angry with Zhuge Liang?

Wang Xizhi is also a blessed man, and God is quite partial to him. He was born in a noble family of Langya Wang's family, and he brought a rich boy ashore. He has a good life experience, he is smart, and he is especially good at calligraphy. The boy gained a high reputation, and he influenced his neighbors and princes. "Commentators call it brushwork, thinking that it is as floating as a cloud and as agile as a dragon", and calligraphy is rated as "especially good at official calligraphy, the highest in ancient and modern times". Indeed, Wang Xizhi's Preface to Lanting is the best in the world. More than a thousand years have passed, and no one has surpassed it so far.

Living here, what can a husband ask for?

Wang Xizhi has come, but there are still too many demands.

Wang Xizhi likes to compete with others for leisure. Frankly speaking, it's easy to envy and hate. There is a man named Wang Shu, with the same surname, the same age and the same clan. He is quite moody. Wang Xizhi regarded Wang Shu as an imaginary enemy from an early age. "Wang Shu, an ancient general of a title of generals in ancient times, is not famous, as famous as Xi, but Xi is very light because he is in love." The two kings are equally famous, and their names are the same. In calligraphy, Wang Xizhi left Wang Shu far behind. Wang Xizhi can be proud of himself and eat all over the world. What else are you dissatisfied with? Pride is enough, but it is even more superficial. What is the book saint of a Chinese Odyssey compared with a talented but little-known person?

Wang Xizhi likes to compare with others. His comparison is not a trick to eat all over the world, but a variety of tricks. His calligraphy, articles, status, family, career, wealth, reputation, chess and calligraphy, tea and wine poems ... have all been lost, so he will live a hard life. Wang Shu was far inferior to Wang Xizhi in calligraphy and fame, but later he was far superior to Wang Xizhi in official position and prestige in the workplace. "Wang Youjun (Wang Xizhi) was lighter than Lantian (Wang Shu was once named Lantian Hou and later Wang Lantian), and later Lantian became more and more famous, especially for the right army."

Wang Shu's early reputation was not very good (the story that he flew into a rage without eating eggs was also selected in Shi Shuo Xin Yu), but later he became an official and was well received, and his promotion was faster and higher than Wang Xizhi's. Now Wang Xizhi can't sit still and the fire in his heart is burning. Wang Xizhi is a civil servant (local governor) of Huiji. It happened that Wang Shu's mother died, and he was mourning in Huiji. He went to pay his respects and saw Uncle Wang crying his mother there. Uncle Wang wants to come and say hello to him. He turned and left. There is jealousy and hatred in my heart. Is it necessary to humiliate people who have lost their mothers?

Wang Xizhi did another funny thing. Wang Shu became the secretariat of Yangzhou, and Huiji happened to be under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou. Originally, one was famous in the art world and the other in the officialdom, but their positions were basically the same. Now, Wang Shu is coming to "lead" Wang Xizhi. Now, in Wang Xizhi's mind, the nameless fire is burning more vigorously. "I got the news at the beginning, and it was Yuezhou." After finishing the report, I'm going to delimit the territory from Yangzhou and upgrade Huiji to Yuezhou, so that I can be an equal with Wang Shu and be a secretariat. Isn't it a joke to say that the administrative region will be adjusted just to quarrel with Uncle Wang? "I was greatly laughed at by the sages at that time." In addition, Wang Shu's hands may have something to handle in the future. "The right army then called it going to the county." Officialdom is dying, I resigned, and I no longer serve.

After Wang Xizhi resigned, some historical materials said that he lived a comfortable life, playing cards with people, reading books to people and traveling in the forest ... In fact, Wang Xizhi did not live so well. People who are not broad-minded are very sad to live like immortals. The statement in Liu Yiqing's Shi Shuo Xin Yu may be more reliable. "The right army then said that it was sick and went to the county seat, ending in indignation."

Wang Xizhi died really early, at the age of 59. Unfortunately, a generation of great calligraphers died young and narrow-minded. Well, if you haven't lost anyone and everything, then please lose your life.
