The documentary "Painting the Sage" tells the story of Wu Daozi. When Wu Daozi was found by officers and men in the village, his hand was already broken. It is said that he cut it himself, so why did he cut it for Saint Wu Daozi? In fact, some people in the play lamented that if he had Wu Daozi's hand, he would always be a celebrity. Wu Daozi heard that it was an insult and cut off his hand directly.

However, Wu Daozi didn't cut off his hand in history. These are just fictional plots in the movie, so they are not real.
