Wang Xizhi practiced calligraphy very hard, even eating and walking, and he really kept practicing. Without pen and paper, he scratched on his body, and over time, his clothes were cut.

Sometimes I practice my handwriting to the point of forgetfulness. Once, he forgot to eat when he practiced calligraphy, and his family sent the meal to the study. He didn't even think about it. He dipped it in ink and ate it. He still thought it was delicious. It was already dark when the family found out.

Wang Xizhi often writes in the pool, so he washes the inkstone in the pool. After a long time, he ran out of ink, so he was called "Mo Chi". At present, Lanting in Shaoxing, Xigu Mountain in Yongjia, Zhejiang, Guizong Temple in Lushan and other places have places of interest known as "Mo Chi".

After listening, I always remember it silently. When he came home at night, he forgot all the cows he was grazing. Someone took Wang Mian's cattle to Wang Mian's house and blamed the unattended cattle for trampling on his fields.

Wang Mian's father was furious and whipped Wang Mian. After that, he was still like this. His mother said, "The child is so obsessed with reading, why not let him?" Wang Mian ran away from home and stayed in a temple. At night, he sneaked out and sat on the Buddha's lap, holding a book in his hand. By the light of the ever-burning lamp in front of the Buddha, the sound of reading was read until dawn.

It seems that most of them are clay sculptures, which are ferocious and scary. Child as Wang Mian is, he doesn't seem to see it.
