Because he is proficient in ancient and modern times and his calligraphy is like a pen, Emperor Taizong has always respected him and often copied and studied Yu Shinan's calligraphy.

In the process of practicing calligraphy, Emperor Taizong deeply felt that the word "ge" in Shinan font was the most difficult to write, and it was not easy to write its spirit. On one occasion, he practiced "Yan", fearing that he could not write disgracefully, so that ministers could not see its jokes. So he deliberately left the word "elder brother" blank and privately asked Yu Shinan to make it up.

In order to show his progress in calligraphy, Emperor Taizong invited Wei Zhi, an admonition officer, to watch some works and asked Wei Zhi's opinion: "Do you think my handwriting looks like that of Yu Shinan, a bachelor?" Wei Zhi looked at it respectfully and carefully, and kept silent with a smile.

At this time, Emperor Taizong asked him anxiously: "Is it like it? Why not talk? " Wei Zhi immediately said, "I dare not comment on your handwriting." Emperor Taizong said, "You can speak frankly. I forgive your innocence. "

At this time, Wei said, "According to the minister, only the' Ge' in the right half of the word' Yan' is basically the same as what Yu wrote, and the rest are quite different." Hearing these words, Emperor Taizong sighed deeply and admired Wei Zhi's eyesight, thus realizing that learning calligraphy can't be fake at all. You must work hard if you want to succeed.

Huang Daozhou was disgusted and resigned.

Huang Daozhou bribed Huang Daozhou's handmaid and promised her "a thousand dollars a word". Your handmaid deliberately practiced calligraphy in front of Huang Daozhou.

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, Xiao Gongquan 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 jars of water, and the inkstone is dyed black;" When you win hundreds of parents, you will get a twins. "

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.
