Slogans commemorating Wang Xizhi

Wang Xizhi was an outstanding calligrapher in ancient China, who enjoyed a high evaluation in history and was called "the sage of calligraphy" by later generations. Although Wang Xizhi's handwriting is so good, it has something to do with his talent, but the most important thing is his hard practice.

East Jin Mingdi once went to Jiankang Gai Zhoushan in the northern suburb of Kyoto to worship the land god, so that Wang Xizhi could write the eulogy on a wooden prayer board and then send someone to carve it. The man first cut the board with a knife and found that Wang Xizhi's ink actually penetrated into the depths of the board, and he didn't see the white background until he removed the thickness of three points. The brushwork is very strong, and it has reached the point of perfection. The sculptor repeatedly exclaimed, "It's amazing!"

This incident caused a sensation throughout the capital, and "straight to the point" became a well-known idiom. Therefore, according to the plot of this story, people later directly used "straight to the point" to describe people who wrote articles or made very profound speeches.

Extended data:

When Wang Xizhi was appointed as the secretariat of Jiangzhou, he built a house on a slope in Linchuan County. In the house, there was a Mo Chi specially used for practicing calligraphy. Ceng Gong, a litterateur in Song Dynasty, visited Linchuan and wrote "Mo Chi Ji", in which it was mentioned that Wang Xizhi had imitated Zhang Zhi's "Linchuan studies books, and the water in the pool was all black" in order to express his admiration for Zhang Zhi.

Wang Xizhi can become a leading calligrapher of all ages, not only because of his family background and talent, but also because he has made a lot of efforts. These efforts are not only efforts in calligraphy technology, but also his thoughts on the origin and changes of calligraphy.
