I was ordered to investigate this matter. Sorry, please ask that person to drill into the urn himself now. " Hearing this, Zhou Xing dropped the glass in his hand, then plopped to the ground and kowtowed again and again, saying, "I'm guilty, I'm guilty, I confess."

Original text:

"Wang Jin Xi Zhi, word escape less, quantico also. A good book at the age of seven. At the age of twelve, I saw the previous generation of Bi Shuo at my father's bedside and secretly read it again. Father said, "Why did you steal my secret?" Xi smiled and didn't answer. Mother said:' I read "Using Calligraphy", but my father thought it was too small, so I'm afraid I can't keep it a secret. Semantically, I'll teach you when you are an adult. At the invitation of Xihe, use it today to make adults fear children's orders. Father was very happy, so he followed. If the month is not profitable, the book will make great progress. When Mrs. Wei saw it, she said,' This son must read the book "Using a Pen". If he sees his book recently, he will have wisdom in old age. He cried, "This son will hide my name." When the Jin emperor offered sacrifices to the northern suburbs, he even wished the edition and made a work cut. "

Translation:

Wang Xizhi of Jin Dynasty, a few words, son of Wang Kuang. At the age of seven, he was good at calligraphy. At the age of twelve, he saw the ancient "Pen Shuo" under his father's pillow and stole it. Father asked, "Why did you steal my secret book?" Wang Xizhi just laughed and didn't answer. Mother said, "Look at the pen." Father thinks he is young and is afraid that he can't keep a secret. He said to Wang Xizhi, "I'll teach you when you grow up." Wang Xizhi sincerely asked his father, "Give it to me now. If you wait until adulthood, I am afraid that you will bury your childhood talents. " Father was very happy and gave it to him. In less than a month, calligraphy has made great progress. After reading it, Mrs Wei said to Wang Ce, the Taichang official, "Xizhi must have read Bi Shuo. Recently, his calligraphy has developed a mature and steady style. " With tears streaming down her face, she said, "This child will definitely be more famous than me." During the Jin Dynasty, the imperial court held a sacrificial ceremony in the northern suburbs. When replacing the bamboo board, the worker cut off his words and infiltrated the board for three points.

Describing the vigorous brushwork of calligraphy is also a metaphor for profound insights and proper discussion.
