1, eunuch asked for it. During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, a eunuch went to Zhejiang on business. One day, he and Cao were drinking together. He was drunk and said, "The south is in charge of the north, and the north is in charge of the south. As soon as he passed, he passed, and then he suffered the hardships of businessmen and businessmen from all directions. " A gentleman who was drinking with him said, put the back door in front, the front door in the back, kowtow 1000 times, kowtow 10 thousand times, shout a few times, long live grandpa, and the empress is standing by. The first part exposes Hu Cao's bribery and perverting the law, and the second part ridicules eunuchs for selling themselves for glory, which is enjoyable to read. 2. Tang Yin mocked a businessman. One day, a businessman asked to write a couplet, and Tang waved: business is like spring, and financial resources are like water. Businessmen saw that couplets were not rich, and Tang Bohu saw that they were Shu Ren, and wrote a pair of couplets mockingly: business in front of the door was like mosquitoes joining the team in summer night, and copper coins were like lice in winter. Who knows, businessmen like this pair of nondescript couplets very much.

3. Dilemma Once upon a time, there was a scholar who died suddenly on the morning of his wedding. He had to hold a funeral and a happy event together. According to the custom, couplets should be attached to funerals and happy events. The scholar was in trouble, but a scholar wrote a couplet: When you mourn, when the groom cries? Laugh? Under careful consideration, I can't laugh or cry. I will leave the mourning hall and enter the bridal chamber. Retreat? On second thought, this pair of antithetical couplets, which is in a dilemma, truly depicts the ambivalence of scholars at that time. 4. The poor scholar defected and felt wronged. Once upon a time, there was a master Jinshi who was overbearing and arrogant. One spring festival, in order to show off, he posted such a couplet on the door: father Jinshi, son Jinshi, father and son Jinshi; Mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, mother-in-law It happened that a poor scholar in the town passed by the door of Jinshi's house and saw this couplet. First he showed contempt, and then he gave me a smug smile. In the evening, when he saw no one around, he quietly added a few strokes to the couplet. Early the next morning, there were a lot of spectators in front of Jinshi's door. They talked and laughed, and everyone praised them: "What a change! Well changed! " The noise outside the door alarmed the master Jinshi, who quickly opened the door and immediately fainted on the steps in front of the door. It turns out that the couplet in front of the Jinshi gate has been changed by the scholar to this: the father is buried, the son is buried, and both father and son are buried; Mother-in-law loses her husband, daughter-in-law loses her husband, and both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law lose their husbands.

When Zheng Banqiao insulted Zheng Banqiao, the county magistrate, to be appointed as the county magistrate, Sun Jia, the county magistrate, sent a new person for questioning. After plundering the people's wealth, Zheng wrote a couplet: Jiao Ting was awarded the future gold repair by the people. 6. Shu Tiexiang satirizes Li Hongzhang, and Shu and Li are both jurors. During Li's tenure as governor of the two lakes, Shu was rejected many times. One day, the title of the book friend Yellow Crane Tower hung on the building wall: there are many nobles in the same list, so let him sit tight and be lazy to tell the world about morality. If you have few friends, you are ashamed to climb the yellow crane again, and it is difficult to find a fairy.

7. "Mixed" and "Ball" Joint Sentence Hunan warlord Tan's philosophy of life is a collection of "mixed", and finally he mixed with the executive dean of the Kuomintang. Because of his smooth life, he got the nickname "Crystal Ball". After his death, someone wrote him a couplet: mixing, eating and drinking, swaggering, living a big life, as big as the dean, which is really amazing. The instinct of the ball is to roll, roll, roll in and out, roll east and west, and roll into the coffin. 8. Up and down "You" and so on are full of bureaucracy aimed at feudal society. Someone plays a game: the boss only speaks half a sentence, which is already right. There are thousands of words in the lower-level speeches, always uh-huh, oh, oh, and so on.

9. Wang Yizhi received couplets on New Year's Eve, and the couplets posted at Wang's door were uncovered several times. Wang Xinsheng made a plan and posted a couplet: It never rains but it pours, and no one reveals bad luck. Early the next morning, he asked his son to add a tail to the couplet, because: happiness never comes in pairs, but it never rains. Last night, Zhejiang Qianmou didn't win a prize in the Qing Dynasty and was often left out by relatives and friends. Later, when he won the prize, all his relatives came to congratulate him. In view of this contrast, he posted a pair of calligraphy couplets on the door: famine in May, June and July. At present, in the imperial examination, the articles are all harmonious, and the five classics are obtained, and the names are also fragrant. Are icing on the cake.

165438+ The bird is in the cage and the heart is in the nest, so it is not Zhang Fei. 12, Qianlong's riddle couplet One year at the Lantern Festival, Qianlong and the ministers guessed riddles and made a couplet: black is not, white is not, and red and yellow are not. Like foxes, wolves, cats and dogs, they are neither poultry nor wild animals. There are poems, words and Analects of Confucius. Touching things, things, north and south, although short, is a wonderful article. The answer given by Ji Yun present was "guess".

13, the word "old" is nothing. A farmer's debt to the rich man could not be repaid, so he asked someone to write a couplet and stick it on the door. Couplets are: borrow new accounts, pay off old accounts, and pay off debts. Rob Peter to pay Paul, rob Peter to pay Paul, rob Peter to pay Paul. Horizontal batch only wrote the word "old" (there is no word "dot" in it). The rich man came to collect debts and saw couplets. He's not surprised. He said to himself, "This horizontal batch of Lao is not like Kao or Lao." After saying his word, I heard the farmer say: If the old man had a little bit, he would have paid you back 14 long ago. When Zheng Banqiao saw Zheng Banqiao as the county magistrate to help the poor, he visited privately and saw a couplet posted on the shabby door of a family: 23456789. It was another year before Zheng Banqiao saw the couplets, so he urged his entourage to go back to my office to get rice, noodles and clothes. The householder had to thank him in tears.

15, "Better not say" and "Why not say more" At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, there was an official in a county who liked to discuss the right and wrong of his boss and criticized the current abuses. One day, an imperial censor visited the county government, and someone reported it. The censor called the officer in charge to reprimand him and said angrily, "People who talk about people are all said by people who talk about people. It is better not to talk about them. The official was very dissatisfied with this, so he replied in a tit-for-tat manner: Why do you care about the official management and the official management? " 16. A corrupt official was humiliated. There was a local official named Wang Yin in the Qing Dynasty. He is corrupt and perverts the law. A gentleman wrote a couplet and asked someone to post it at the entrance of the county yamen, saying: Wang is good at goods, regardless of gold, silver, copper and iron. Yin is a tiger, and all need chickens, dogs, cattle and sheep.

17, Liang Qichao Miao told Zhang Zhidong that Liang Qichao went to see Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang. Zhang Zhidong wants to give Liang Qichao a duel. As soon as we met, we made a pair of couplets to match Liang: the four rivers are the first, and the four seasons are the second. The old man lives in Jiangxia, and whoever is the first is the second. (Wuhan was formerly known as Jiangxia) Liang Qichao did the right thing calmly: Confucianism is the first, three talents are the last, and young scholars, Confucianism, dare not be the first. Originally, the real core of Confucianism was kingliness, and a real scholar should have courage and integrity. Dare not be in the front and dare not be in the back, modest and heroic. 18, a friend of gentlemen Feng Menglong recorded in the Ming Dynasty's "An Overview of Ancient and Modern Times": A scholar was born in a poor family and celebrated his friend's birthday. Without wine, he held a glass of water and said to his friend, "A friend of gentlemen is so light." The friend knew what it meant and replied, "The meaning of drunkenness is not there." This question and answer just constitutes a couplet: the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, which is not intended to come from the first couplet of Zhuangzi Landscape: "The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and the friendship between villains is as good as ever." The second part comes from Ouyang Xiu's Preface to Drunk Pavilion: "Drunk is not in wine, but also between mountains and rivers." The word "water" is hidden in the proverb "A friendship between gentlemen is as light as water". Simple friendship is right. Couplets are right.

The deeds of celebrities who worked hard for their ideals

(1) In order to confirm Goldbach's conjecture, Chen Jingrun taught himself English, German and even Russian. Whether it is hot or cold, Chen Jingrun will spend more than ten hours studying Goldbach's conjecture. When Chen Jingrun confirmed Goldbach's conjecture, the draft paper of optical calculus was packed in several sacks.

He wrote the research results of Goldbach's conjecture into the paper "Even number represents the sum of the products of a prime number and a prime number not exceeding two". Once published, "Big even number represents the sum of the products of a prime number and a prime number not exceeding two" immediately attracted the attention of international mathematicians.

British mathematician Haberstein and German mathematician Li Xite spoke highly of Chen Jingrun's Goldbach conjecture, and wrote the research results of Chen Jingrun's Goldbach conjecture into a book named Chen Theorem.

(2) Tu Youyou has been engaged in the research of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine for many years, creating new antimalarial drugs artemisinin and dihydroartemisinin. A colorless crystal with the molecular formula of C 15H22O5 was successfully extracted from 1972 and named artemisinin.

20 1 1 In September, artemisinin, a drug used to treat malaria, saved millions of lives around the world, especially in developing countries, and won the Lasker Prize and the "Outstanding Achievement Award in Life Science" of GlaxoSmithKline China R&D Center.

20 15- 10 Tu Youyou won the nobel prize in physiology or medicine for discovering artemisinin, which can effectively reduce the mortality of malaria patients. She became the first China person to win the Nobel Prize in Science.

Hawking went to Cambridge University for postgraduate study after graduating from Oxford University. At this time, he was diagnosed as "Luger's disease" and soon became completely paralyzed.

He became a world-recognized giant of gravitational physics in the incredible difficulties of ordinary people. Hawking is a Luxun professor of mathematics at Cambridge University. His black hole evaporation theory and quantum cosmology not only shocked natural science, but also had a far-reaching impact on philosophy and religion.

Since Deng Yaping was more than two years old, his father often put Deng Yaping on a bicycle and took Deng Yaping to the workers' club to watch them play. Deng Yaping learned to play table tennis with his father at the age of 5, and his father developed a set of training methods different from routines.

At first, Deng Yaping shot horizontally. Because Deng Yaping was slow and had short arms, she was asked to take publicity photos the next year. Deng Yaping was particularly serious since she was a child. Deng Yaping encountered many difficulties in her growth.

Because she is short, the provincial team doesn't want her. My father told Deng Yaping all this. Deng Yaping understood his father's meaning: if others say you can't do it, you should fight for breath and practice more. Therefore, Deng Yaping was excellent since she was a child, and her training was particularly hard.

(2) Extended reading of couplet stories 18:

Goldbach conjecture is one of the three major mathematical problems in the modern world. Goldbach put forward the following conjecture in his letter 1742 to Euler: any even number greater than 2 can be written as the sum of two prime numbers.

But Goldbach himself could not prove it, so he wrote to the famous mathematician Euler and asked him to help him prove it, but until his death, Euler could not prove it. Because the convention that "1 is also a prime number" is no longer used in mathematics, the modern statement of the original conjecture is that any integer greater than 5 can be written as the sum of three prime numbers.

Any sufficiently large even number can be expressed as the sum of a number with no more than one prime factor and a number with no more than b prime factors, and the proposition is called "a+b". 1966 Chen Jingrun proved that "1+2" holds, that is, "any sufficiently large even number can be expressed as the sum of two prime numbers, or the sum of a prime number and a semi-prime number".

All kinds of martial arts are proficient in funny story couplets and everything.

I used to work in the front line of the railway construction team, and the Spring Festival is coming. In order to catch up with the schedule and ensure the construction period, the construction team decided to work overtime on holidays and surprise production.

The cold wind is rustling, the plants are yellow and everything is depressed. Although the machines on the construction site are roaring and full of enthusiasm, the construction site is deserted, lacking some atmosphere and a little flavor of the year. I came across an article the other day. The general content is that a school teacher tells a silent story about others with rigorous and fair couplets. Deeply inspired, I wrote a cursive couplet on the door of my comprehensive class, such as electricity, pliers, car and welding.

Complement: send the silver wire to the bright spot for spot welding.

Bottom line: turn, cut, knock and knock carefully.

Horizontal criticism: proficient in everything

As soon as this couplet was posted, I felt that the simple building board house was vivid and more festive.

. . . . . .

Four stories 18, Li and met unexpectedly.

18, Li's coincidence

(1) Miaolian Miaodui

Li was a gifted scholar in Shu. After he was a scholar in Qianlong period, he once engaged in political research in Guangdong. On the day Li arrived, when Hu's sedan chair crossed the downtown area, he also took the sedan chair. Li's entourage didn't know what was going on, so they called the general's name.

Hu clear voice sings in the car:

Spring peony, summer hibiscus, autumn chrysanthemum, winter plum flower, I am Tanhualang, three * * * into righteousness.

Li Tiaoyuan immediately understood Hu's intention. When Hu turned to ask him for a generic name, he also casually replied in the sedan chair:

Dong, Xi Chang Gung, Nanji Beidou, I am a fairy, and Sichuan Li Diaoyuan.

Hearing this, Hu was surprised and admired, and hurried out of the sedan chair to meet him. And invited Li Diaoyuan to host a banquet at home.

(2) Self-defense

Shortly after Li took office, the local literati invited him to have an outing. They came to a place with mountains, water, cliffs and quiet scenery. Unexpectedly, the path suddenly stopped, and only the stream was still gurgling from the cliff on the side of the road. The word "half a mountain" is engraved on the cliff, and a stone tablet stands beside the cliff. There is a line engraved on the tablet, which reads:

Half a mountain, half a road, half a stream, half a drain;

This colleague explained: "This is the time when Su Dongpo and Huang Shangu traveled here together in the Song Dynasty. This couplet is for Su Dongpo, who doesn't deserve it, so I have to ask Huang Valley to join it at this moment to show self-restraint and seek the next couplet. " After that, the man smiled at Li and said, "A bachelor's adult is witty; Can you wash away this shame for your countryman Sue? "

Li Ming understands that this man is trying to insult him through this matter. So, he smiled unhurriedly and said, "Sue, you've got the bottom line right. Why is he right again? " Everyone was puzzled, and he went on to say, "In fact, Su asked Huang Li to write an inscription here, which was the antithesis of the first couplet, called' Righteousness'. Obviously, the second couplet is:

A tablet, a line of words, a joint and a virtual.

After listening to it, everyone felt beyond reproach and had to praise it repeatedly.

Li added: "This is right, even children in Sichuan can understand it. What do you care? "

It is said that most people in this place are ashamed, but some people are not satisfied. One of the officials said, "Impossible? I tried it when I was in Sichuan, not what you said. "

Li asked, "Who have you tried?"

A: "A farmer."

Q: "What is the first step?"

A:

The tower is brightly lit, and Zhuge Liang is bright;

Q: "What did the farmer say?"

Answer: "He picked lotus roots in the pool by himself, but there was no response."

Li said to him, "The farmer is right, but it's a pity that he didn't take the first step. He's right:

Lotus roots are picked in the pool, and the roots are too white (plum) and long (Geng).

Hearing this, the official was startled, made a deep salute, said "live up to his reputation" and retreated to one side.

(3) scene pair.

One winter, Li braved the heavy snow and returned to Beijing from Xinjiang. When I stopped at a hotel on the way, I found a pair of couplets on the wall in the store. I read the ink paper. It didn't take long for the second couplet to be written. The first part says:

The yellow dog crossed the frost bridge and a small plum blossom landed;

Li was puzzled and asked the shopkeeper why. The shopkeeper told him that a scholar came to the store for dinner this morning and saw a yellow dog walking on the bridge, so he casually sang a couplet. But he couldn't sing the next couplet after searching for his heart, so he wrote it down and posted it here, expecting someone to make the next couplet. The shopkeeper learned that this was Li Diaoyuan, a gifted scholar in Shu, and said, "Why don't Xianggong show his talents?" Li Xinran agreed. But when he carefully tasted this couplet, he found it extraordinary. He is worried that he can't make a good couple after much consideration. At this time, suddenly a few crows flew in and landed in the snow in front of the door, jumping for food. His heart suddenly brightened up, hurriedly brought pen and ink, and wrote the bottom allied:

Crows are jumping in the snow and bamboo leaves are in the air.

This bottom line, perfectly matched with the top line, won unanimous applause from the hotel.

④ Dialogue between Li and his wife:

The full moon is gone, the full moon is gone, year after year, the sun shines at the end of the night.

Bloom flowers fall, bloom flowers fall, summer is summer and autumn is autumn, summer is cool, and spring comes after severe winter.

(5) The plight of shepherd boy Li

According to legend, when Li was studying politics in Guangdong, a shepherd boy built a small bridge with three stones on the way, and Li's bearers kicked the Sanshiqiao down with one foot. The shepherd boy asked the sedan chair bearer, and Li got off the sedan chair to mediate. The shepherd boy said, "Are you Master Li? I heard that you are good at doing the right thing. If you make couplets, please take your seats accordingly. If you are right, kick my bridge. " Li Diaoyuan readily agreed, and the shepherd boy read aloud a way:

Kick through the three stones of Leiqiao

Li thought for a long time, but didn't answer, so he had to make an appointment to deal with it tomorrow. When I got home, I thought hard and was unhappy. The wife asked why, smiled, wrote a word "Chu" on the paper, and then cut it into two words "mountain" with scissors. Li suddenly realized that the next morning he went to the appointed place to see the shepherd boy, and said to the bottom allied cloud:

Cut a mountain with two characters.

The shepherd boy smiled and said, "Li's adult, I'm afraid your wife came up with this couplet?" Li was surprised and asked, "How do you know?" The shepherd boy replied, "Women often deal with scissors with rulers, while men use axes." Why not change the bottom line to "split the way out and make two mountains"? The shepherd boy went on to say, "Master Li, shall I give you another pair?" Say that finish and sing the first part:

China ancients did it, poetry did it, and Fu did it.

Li couldn't answer at the moment. After returning home, he discussed with the people and racked his brains, and finally came up with the bottom allied:

Eight knives are angry, angry and angry.

But when he read the couplet to the shepherd boy, the shepherd boy said, "This is obviously made by a poor scholar. It is not in line with Li's identity to make such a poor appearance." It's better to change it to: "Swallow with a big mouth and swallow the sea", which will have boldness of vision. " !

Hearing this, Li repeatedly praised the shepherd boy as a wizard and praised "the afterlife is terrible!" "

The story of five kings Xizhi

1, Wang Xizhi once saw an old woman selling fans, but the business was bleak, and many bamboo fans were moldy, which made the seller even more disdainful. I decided to do the old lady a favor.

He asked, Grandma, how is your fan business? You're welcome, grandma. Objectively speaking, you are humorous. I have sold so many fans here that I haven't sold them all day. If this situation continues, there will be no food in our house.

Wang Xizhi said, stop complaining, old woman. I'll teach you a good way to ensure that these fans can buy good prices and make you a lot of money. Then write an inscription on the fan bought by the old lady. The old lady didn't know it was a great calligrapher.

I grabbed the pen from Wang Xizhi. I said, sir, are you here to make trouble? I haven't sold this clean fan. Come and write it down for me. Who should I sell it to?

Wang Xizhi said, don't worry. After I finish writing, you only need to shout when you sell Wang Xizhi's body fan. I guarantee that each can be sold at 100 yuan. When the old woman heard this magic trick, she took a dubious attitude and asked Wang Xizhi to write a few.

When people heard that it was Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, they all bought it. The original fan was robbed at that time. The old lady wants to know whether it is really God who wants to help me. The next day, the old lady waited for Wang Xizhi to write for herself. Wang Xizhi is not very happy.

I think I wanted to help you yesterday, so I came up with this plan. Now you beg me just to make money, but there is no way. Wang Xizhi wrote several songs for the old lady, which sold well. Later, Wang Xizhi crossed the bridge. If he saw his mother-in-law still selling fans there, he would make a detour to avoid it.

There is a Taoist priest in Yinshan. He wants Wang Xizhi to write him a copy of Tao Te Ching. But he knew that Wang Xizhi would not copy scriptures for others easily. Later, he learned that Wang Xizhi liked white geese, so he specially raised a group of great white geese with good varieties.

Wang Xizhi heard that there were good geese in Taoism, so he really went to see them. When he approached the Taoist house, he saw a flock of geese floating leisurely on the water in the river, with white feathers and high red tops, which was really lovable.

Wang Xizhi watched by the river and was reluctant to leave, so he sent someone to find a Taoist priest and asked to sell him the goose. The Taoist smiled and said, "Since the princes like it so much, they don't have to spend money. I'll give you all these geese.

But I have a request, please write a volume of scriptures for me. "Wang Xizhi did not hesitate to copy a volume of scriptures to the Taoist priest at that time, and the goose was taken back by Wang Xizhi.

3. One night, Wang Xizhi was practicing calligraphy under the lamp, and he wrote one piece of white paper after another and spread it all over the floor. Late at night, he looked and thought word for word. He was too tired to practice, holding a pen and leaning against the case.

Suddenly, after a breeze, a white cloud floated by. An old man with a silver moustache smiled and said, "Your handwriting is good!" " ""where, where! " Wang Xizhi offered to sit down and answered modestly.

Seeing the old man carefully looking at his handwriting, he asked, "Old man, please correct me." The old man saw Wang Xizhi's sincerity and said, "You reach out." Wang Xizhi doesn't know what the old man is going to do.

Seeing that the old man was serious and didn't like joking, he slowly reached over. The old man held hands and said with a smile, "I think you are sincere in learning to write, so that you can understand a brushwork and will have your own role in the future."

When the old man finished, he wrote a word on Wang Xizhi's palm, then nodded and said, "You will make faster progress." Just say it and leave. Wang Xizhi quickly shouted, "Where is your husband's house?" I heard a faint voice in the air: "White clouds on the roof ..."

Wang Xizhi saw at a glance that his palm was "forever". He compared, rowed, wrote and practiced, and finally realized that the strokes of the square characters and the tricks of the shelf structure were all embodied in the word "forever".

Professor Baiyun's skill is really good! From then on, Wang Xizhi practiced calligraphy harder and his calligraphy was more free and wonderful. Later, Wang Xizhi returned to Shaoxing, met with literary friends in Lanting, and wrote the calligraphy treasure "Preface to Lanting".

Wang Xizhi never forgot the word "Yong" inscribed by Mr. Baiyun Mountain, and wrote a book "Huang Ting Jing" in good faith, which was placed in a sudden and steep cave on the top of the mountain, and was later called "Huang Ting Cave".

On one occasion, Wang Xizhi was practicing calligraphy seriously, and even the steamed bread and garlic juice brought by the girl were not found beside him. The girl told Mr. Wang to eat quickly so as not to make himself hungry. As a result, Wang Xizhi still concentrated on practicing calligraphy.

When the maid saw it, she ran to Mrs. Wang Xizhi to help her explain the situation. This lady is very worried. She was afraid that her husband would be addicted to tea and rice because of practicing calligraphy, and then hurt herself, so she took the maid to persuade him.

Who knows that Wang Xizhi is eating steamed bread with ink? Both the lady and the girl laughed. The girl said, Sir, do you think steamed bread today is different from the past? Wang Xizhi put down his pen and said thoughtfully.

This sauce seems delicious. Wang Xizhi, who devoted himself to writing, actually used ink as garlic juice, but Wang Xizhi himself didn't seem to notice it at all.

My wife rushed forward to grab the steamed bread and said with distress, your handwriting is so beautiful, why do you have to practice until you forget to eat and sleep? Wang Xizhi said, "My words are all imitated by others. Now I want to create my own words."

After a long period of practice, Wang Xizhi finally made his calligraphy unique. He finally got rid of the brand of imitating others and became an imitated existence by later generations.

One day, I found a book called Bi Tan under my father's pillow, which is all about writing methods. He peeked at it with joy.

Just as I was studying hard, my father came and asked, "Why did you steal the secretary from under my pillow?" Xihe just laughed. Mother wanted to smooth things over for him, and put in a sentence from the side: "Do you want to find out how to use a pen?"

Father thought he was too young to read, so he took the book back and said to him, "I'll teach you to read when you grow up." Wang Xizhi said unhappily, "Tell me when you are happy. When I grow up, I will pay attention to brushwork.

Then I've lived in vain these years, haven't I? Let me study now, lest I don't know how to grope around. "Father heard him right and gave him the book.

Therefore, Wang Xizhi practiced hard every day according to the methods mentioned in the book, and soon, his calligraphy made remarkable progress. However, Wang Xizhi is not satisfied with the existing progress. Once, he saw the handwriting of Zhang Zhi, a calligrapher in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he couldn't put it down.

Zhang Zhi's cursive script is so good that people call him "the sage of grass". Wang Xizhi not only worships his calligraphy, but also admires his indomitable spirit of "learning in a pool, learning in a pool is dark". In a letter to a friend.

Wang Xizhi wrote: "Zhang Zhi practiced calligraphy with the water in the pond, and even the water in the pond turned black. If people practice so hard, they may not catch up with Zhang Zhi. "

From then on, Wang Xizhi doodled every day, and after finishing writing, he went to the pool at the door to rinse his pen. Over time, the water in the pool turned black, so people called this pool "Mo Chi".
