[The book saint Wang Xizhi is also the ancestor of the Wang family]

I emboldened myself and said, "They are not filial!" ”

As soon as I finished speaking, my grandfather slapped the table and pointed at me gloomily: "You, you, what do you say?" ”

I didn't wait for him to continue, so I said: "If they blindly tolerate it, if they are really harmed by their stepmother, then they don't let their stepmother bear the name of unkindness, aren't they unfilial?" ”

Grandpa nodded and smiled after hearing this, and said, "Then what do you do?" ”

I swallowed and said, "I'm going to have to find a way to make my stepmom change her mind."

The father said coldly, "What can you do?" ”

I nodded reluctantly and said bitterly, "You have to try."

But I really didn't expect my words to come true later, this is a later story, and I will talk about it later.

I would like to mention that the person who has done the most official and the most famous in the history of our Wang family is Wang Dao, the grandson of Wang Lan. He served as prime minister when he was Emperor Yuan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and when Emperor Ming and Emperor Cheng, he served as Situ and Taifu, and he was a famous minister of the Jin Dynasty. But I don't want to mention him more, maybe it is due to the influence of my grandfather, my Wang family is a family of gentlemen who are in retreat, not a profiteer who fights for fame and power, so I don't want to mention him. The ancestor of the Wang family, what I admire and admire the most is Wang Lan's great-grandson, Wang Xizhi, a famous generation of "book saints" in the world.

When it comes to Wang Xizhi, they all say that I have Wang Xizhi's atmosphere, he is good at cultivating Taoism and health preservation techniques, and I have been influenced by my grandfather since I was a child; He often traveled with Taoist priests, and so did I; He is good at calligraphy, not only cursive and official calligraphy crown ancient and modern, the article is also exquisite, has made "Orchid Pavilion Preface", "Le Yi Theory" and other famous articles, I also follow its ancestral style, good calligraphy, good articles, good poetry, although it does not dare to compare, but also yearn for it.

When I was learning calligraphy as a teenager, my father's teachings to me benefited me for life, and he said: "The way of calligraphy first requires 'the most important in the fine', and then 'the law has no fixed law', and finally 'all the laws return to the sect'", these three points, I privately think that the order of learning art is applicable everywhere.

In addition, he has quoted the words of Cheng Hao, the super master of Confucianism in the Northern Song Dynasty, more than once, because he is called Mingdao, known as Mr. Mingdao, Mr. Cheng Mingdao said that "when a certain writing is very respectful, not to have good words, but to learn", this point is the essence of my life's calligraphy, respect a word for life.

Next, I would like to mention my sixth ancestor, Wang Gang, who makes me both envious and admired. There are three things that interest me about him, one is that his divination method with Taoist priest Zhao Yuandu is so interesting. It is said that at that time, Wang Gang and his mother took refuge in Wuchu Mountain to avoid the rebellion. One day, a Taoist priest stayed at his house overnight, and Wang Gang found this Taoist immortal wind and Taoist bones, and he didn't feel that he was respectful.

Wang Gang couldn't help but ask: "You must have a Taoist, and you are willing to hear the surname." ”

The Taoist priest replied, "I will end up with Zhao Yuandu, the hermit of Nanshan."

Later, Zhao Yuan taught Wang Gang the method of divination, and persuaded Wang Gang to travel with him outside the square, Wang Gang because of the old mother at home, with filial piety, this is one thing.

Therefore, Yi Xue and Taoism have been related to the Wang family since my six ancestors, so it is reasonable for me to be good.

The second thing is that Wang Gang is a friend of Liu Bowen, a generation of wisdom gods, Liu Bowen has always been my idol, I have heard many folk legends about him, saying that Zhuge Liang set up the Seven Stars Altar to borrow the east wind. Later, Liu Bowen took a monk and a practice to burn Chen Youliang's giant fleet in Poyang Lake.

Legend has it that Wang Gang is proficient in the highest technique of easy learning "Qimen Dunjia", which makes me proud that when Liu Bowen was humble, he often visited Wang Gang, and maybe he had Wang Gang's guidance, so that Liu Bowen later got the ambition and recommended Wang Gang to the imperial court.

In the fourth year of Hongwu, Wang Gang, who was already seventy years old, met Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of this dynasty, and proposed to him a thoughtful strategy for governing the country, which was accepted by Taizu and appointed him as the military department Langzhong, which was the third thing.

Later, I kept looking for my grandfather to grind, and finally saw Wang Gang's divination book, Liu Bowen's book of Qimen and the book of the art of war, although I couldn't understand it at the time, but in the years to come, these books gave me nourishment and laid the foundation for my contribution to the country, which I firmly believed.

What I particularly admire is Wang Gang's feat of calmly serving as a senator in Guangdong. Yes, if the country is in trouble, it will be dealt with by oneself, this is the best education given to me by the six ancestors of Wang Gang.

Next, I would like to talk about another idol I admire, my great ancestor is also Wang Gang's grandson, Wang Hezhun. He was very lucky, since he was a child, his father Wang Yanda passed on all the books left by Wang Gang to him, and said: "But don't waste the first business, don't look forward to the future."

Wang and Zhun are very competitive, he closed his door to study and study, read all the books of his grandfather, of course, there is a Taoist priest to Wang Gang's divination book, Wang and Zhun studied this book in his spare time, and tried to divination, but he did not expect to be surprisingly accurate, and became famous for a while, and even the county order sent a messenger to ask him for divination.

At that time, he went to Mr. Zhao in Siming Mountain to learn "Yi", Mr. Zhao concluded that this son was not good, so he married a girl from his clan to him, and persuaded him to become an official, he politely refused to "escape the world without boredom" in the "Book of Changes" taught by Mr. Zhao.

In the end, Wang and Zhun burned the book of divination, became a hermit for life, and called himself "Escape Stone Weng".

My grandfather mysteriously told me that Wang Youzhun had once occupied a hexagram for himself, and he had a "great" "shock" hexagram, so he said to his son: "My ancestors were extremely prosperous and declined, and now the decline is extremely reincarnable, but I will be reborn and prosperous?" It will prosper and last".

Then, my grandfather said to me meaningfully, "The prophecy of your ancestors must be in your father and in you." So, it's understandable that I've been a little pretentious since I was a child.

Finally, I would like to mention my great-grandfather Wang Jie, Wang Hezhun understands the Book of Changes, must understand feng shui, he planted three locust trees in front of his door, this point must be good for the Wang family's feng shui, because of this, Wang Jie called himself "Huai Lizi".

At that time, many people led by the teacher, that is, the teacher Cheng Jing, were optimistic about Wang Jie, but Wang Jie was also a hermit, he saw that the candidates were too tired and returned to his hometown to no longer participate in the imperial examination, although he was recommended many times, he did not accept it, he taught his disciples while plowing the fields, although his life was hard, but also peaceful.

Every time my father talked about the wonderful realm of Confucius that "a gentleman is not satisfied without entering", he used Wang Jie as an example.

Wang Jie followed his mother's orders to enter Nanjing Guozijian to study, and the sacrificial wine was the principal Chen Jingzong's friendship to him, and he was not included in the list of disciples, but he did not expect that he was recommended to be an official in the imperial court in the second year, and died before he arrived, which is a pity. Wang Jie's fame is very great, and the celebrity Leng Chuan praised him as "the first in the world" and called him "unmatched by Confucians in modern times".

Well, the origin of the ancestors has come to an end, and in general the gentlemanly style has been passed down from the ancestors, and then, I will look back on my beloved grandfather and upright father.
