Calligrapher's short story

The short story of this famous calligrapher is as follows:

1, digging graves and stealing paintings

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhong You was very persistent and enthusiastic about calligraphy learning, almost to the point of madness. It is said that he once studied in Baodu Mountain. In order to practice calligraphy well, he wrote down the stones and trees on the mountain in black.

On one occasion, he talked with Cao Cao, Dan Wei and others about calligraphy pen. Zhong You wanted to borrow this pen from Dan Wei, but Shan Wei refused. After Dan Wei's death, Zhong You sent someone to dig this book out of the grave. After repeated research, he finally understood the secret of using a pen.

2, concentrate on learning ink as a meal.

Wang Xizhi, a famous calligrapher, once had lunch. He was extremely bookish and brought him his favorite garlic paste and steamed bread. After urging him to eat quickly several times, he still didn't even look up, as if he didn't hear, and he was absorbed in reading posts and writing.

Wang Xizhi's mother came to the study and saw Xizhi's hand holding a steamed bun stained with ink and sending it to her mouth, which made her mouth black. 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.

3. Zheng Banqiao studied calligraphy.

Zheng Banqiao, one of the Eight Eccentrics in Yangzhou, loved calligraphy since childhood. One night, he wrote on his thigh with his fingers, and he wrote on his wife. His wife hit his hand angrily and said, you have your body and I have mine. Why not write about your own body and other people's bodies?

Zheng Banqiao believes that everyone has his own body, and writing has his own font, which is different! Why do you always learn other people's fonts instead of going your own way?

From then on, he took the advantages of each family and mixed official script with seal script, grass, line and grain to draw a ghost. Finally, six and a half books, which appeal to both refined and popular tastes, were formed, which is often called littering, and became a well-known painter and calligrapher in the Qing Dynasty.

4. Bizuka

Zhiyong Zen master, born in Sui and Tang Dynasties, is the seventh grandson of Wang Xizhi. Because he practiced calligraphy very hard, all the broken brushes were discarded in the bamboo basket. After years of life, he accumulated five baskets, so he wrote an inscription and buried these pens, which is called the pen grave. It can be seen that he loves books and treasures things.

5. Liu Gongquan practices calligraphy hard.

An old man told Liu Gongquan when he was young that he had written eight jars of water, and the inkstone was dyed black in the waterlogged pool. If 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.
