Wang Xizhi learned calligraphy, how did Wang Xizhi learn calligraphy?

Wang Xi passed by the duck dumpling shop, and saw an old woman in the store making dumplings with her back to the stove.

Wang Xizhi felt strange, thinking that the old man had practiced some stunt and went into the store to inquire; The old man said that she didn't have any special skills, but she had been cooking dumplings like this for many years, so she became proficient. This story is about the truth that practice makes perfect.

"Duck Dumpling Shop" tells the story of Wang Xizhi, a famous calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, who learned calligraphy when he was a child.

Wang Xizhi began to learn calligraphy at the age of seven, and in less than three years, he was quite famous within a radius of 100 miles, so he was fluttering. Later, in a "duck dumpling shop" that was not good-looking, he got a revelation that affected his life.

Duck Dumpling Shop" Translation:

The dumplings sold in the small shop are like ducklings frolicking in the water, they are so delicate and delicious that business is booming, but the words on the signboard are crooked. The owner is a gray-haired grandmother, rolling out the skin and stuffing and kneading dumplings, and her movements are very skillful. She wrapped a dumpling, didn't look at it, and threw it casually, she could go around the low wall, and it fell into the pot without being biased or oblique.

Wang Xizhi was surprised, and asked the old man how long it would take to practice such a deep kung fu? The old grandmother said: "Fifty years of proficiency, deep training takes a lifetime."

Wang Xizhi asked the old man again, why didn't he ask a celebrity to write a deputy signboard if his business was so good? The old man said angrily, "It's not good, please!

Let's just say that the ten-year-old boy Wang Xizhi is holding people to the sky. In fact, his writing skills are not as deep as my kung fu of making dumplings! Wang Xizhi was so ashamed that he was ashamed of himself, and since then he knew that there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky, so he studied calligraphy more diligently, and finally became a master of calligraphy.

When Wang Xizhi was 13 years old, he stumbled upon a calligraphy book that his father had hidden and stole it to read. His father was worried that he would not be able to keep his family inheritance secret at a young age, and promised to teach it when he was older. Unexpectedly, Wang Xizhi knelt down and asked his father to allow him to read now, and his father was very moved and finally agreed to his request.

Wang Xizhi practiced calligraphy very hard, even eating and walking, and it really reached the point of practicing all the time. There was no pen and paper, so he scribbled on his body, and over time, his clothes were torn. Sometimes I practice calligraphy to the point of forgetfulness.

Once, when he practiced calligraphy, he forgot to eat, and his family sent the meal to the study, and he ate it without thinking, dipping it in ink, and he felt that it was very delicious. When the family found out, their mouths were already black.

Wang Xizhi often writes in the pool, washes the inkstone in the pool, and after a long time, the pool water is exhausted with ink, and it is called"Ink pool"。Now Shaoxing Lanting, Zhejiang Yongjia Xigu Mountain, Lushan Guizong Temple and other places are called"Ink pool"of places of interest.
