Wang Guzhi, named Zuo, also given the courtesy name Renfu. Later, the character "Che" was removed and his name was "Fu". This was the name he adopted. His nickname is by which he became popular in the world. Living in Huangyantai, it is now assigned to the territory of Taiping County. When he was young, he composed poems and practiced cursive calligraphy, and roamed around the capital. One of his fellow villagers committed a crime, and Wang Gu waited in front of the government to find out the case. The officials arrested all the people in Jinghou together and tortured Wang Guzhi's fellow villagers' wives and children very urgently. Wang Guzhi preferred to be violated and humiliated, and ultimately did not tell the whereabouts of Wang Guzhi's wives and children from his hometown. Later, he was sent to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, where he stood alone in the hot sun and did not mix with the prisoners. One of the principals, Li Tingmei, found it very strange. When he went through his clothes and hats, he found some poems by Ke Xueshi, and asked Wang Guzhi, "Can you compose a poem?" and asked him to compose a poem with the title of Sun Shadow, (1 After the meeting) the poem was completed, Li Tingmei released Wang Guzhi, and Wang Guzhi made a long bow and left. The officials in charge of the prison laughed. However, Wang Guzhi also gained fame.

Wang Guzhi became friends with the minister Huang Dingxuan and the minister Xie Fangshi. Wang Guzhi once served as Xie Fangshi's staff, but Xie Fangshi left because his parents died. He served as an adviser to Lin Kechong, who went abroad as an envoy. He served as an aide to Wang Cunjing, a foreign official, and Wang Cunjing also went on missions. He is in charge of appointing Ru Xiu's staff, and this master is always there. Suddenly the request was not fulfilled.

Wang Guzhi lived in the capital for thirty years. He had no servants and no pots, dishes or utensils. There are five or six large boxes, in which there are only a few hundred poems and paintings. There is a jug of wine in the middle. I take it out every morning and drink a spoonful or two, and then lock it before leaving. Bottles made of burnt dried glutinous rice are popular in Beijing during the Shangyuan Festival. They can be filled with water to raise fish. The side is illuminated by candles. They are bright and beautiful, and are known as cannon lanterns among the people. Wang Guzhi bought one and put it in the Xie Guan, where he played the same game as a child every day.

One day, he accidentally broke it and was very unhappy. He said: "My belongings have been here all my life, and now they are gone!" Just when he was about to write cursive, he met a small official. , said: "It actually defeated my interest." Many petty officials wanted to beat him, and some made plans privately. Wang Guzhi said: "I should have been beaten, and fighting also made my reputation more prominent. One day, I met these people on the road and were really beaten. He took it alone and left without caring. Some people advised him to seek an official position. , he said loudly: "Did I come to the capital to get an official title?" "Someone asked, "Why don't you take the imperial examination? He smiled and replied: "How can you restrain me the same way you restrain a child?" "

He was once in a tavern and sighed: "This is also part of the career of fame. "The Taoist priest of Xianling Palace asked him to be a teacher in the school, and the gifts and benefits were very generous. After a month, he suddenly resigned and said: "How can I sit at the desk and use pen and ink so tiredly? " Link rushed to an overseas mission and wanted him to go with him, but he didn't agree. Someone asked him why, and he said: "He is not as strong as me, how can I do things for him! Since ancient times, there has been no restriction on the number of famous people who do not go to sea. Does it mean that they must go to sea in order to develop quickly? ”

Wang Guzhi has an upright character and does not want to give in to others like this. However, he has an upright temperament and will not turn around in his heart. When he meets someone he likes, he will be happy and forget to leave, and people are willing to be with him. The person who wrote this article said: “Mr. How can you say it's fun! According to the investigation, Shen Zhonglu met Wang Guzhi and asked him for his address, name and place of origin. Wang Guzhi said: "You don't need to ask, I'm probably a strange person!" "He also likes his own way!

"Zhou Guan" records scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, and Ban Gu's "Hanshu? Ancient and Modern People" divides ancient and modern figures into nine grades. Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there has been a nine-grade system. I have always I know Wang Guzhi, but I can't tell what kind of person he is.

Original text:

Wang Guzhi, named Zuo, courtesy name Ren. Afterwards, he was promoted to Che Fu, and he used his own name to travel around the world. He lived in Huangyan, Taiping County. Those who sit in the office are waiting for the officials. The officials are eager to inquire about their children. They are willing to be humiliated and do not say where they are. In charge of the beauty of the court, he checked the cloakroom and found some poems written by Ke Xueshi, and asked him, "Can you write poems?" "He made a poem about the shadow of the sun, returned home, and came out with a long bow. The jailers all laughed, but Gu Zhi also got his name naturally. He was friendly with Huang Dingxuan, the current minister, and Xie Fangshi. He tasted the master Fangshi, and Fangshi expressed his worries. Go. The Lord Lin is here to serve Kechong, and Kechong is the envoy to Haiguo. The Lord Cunjing also sends an envoy to Dingxuanzi to serve you.

I have been traveling for thirty years, and there are no servants or cauldrons. There are only five or six large cages, but there are hundreds of poems and paintings, and there are pots of wine in them. Go. On the Shangyuan Festival, the capital made a bottle of glutinous sweat to store water and fish. It was bright and cute, and it was called a cannon lantern in the Xie Guan. One day, it was accidentally broken. He suddenly felt unhappy and said, "My whole family life has been here, and now it's all gone!" "Fang wrote in cursive script, and when the official arrived, he said: "I am defeated suddenly. "The gang members want to beat him, or they may do it for their own purposes. Gu Zhi said: "I am definitely the one who deserves to be beaten, and my name will bring out the best in me. "One day, he encountered various obstacles and was beaten. He carried it back with one sleeve and his hand, but he didn't show any disdain.

Or to persuade the envoy to become an official, he said loudly: "I am here to be a noble and wealthy person!" "Is it the imperial examination?" Then he smiled and said: "It's safe to treat me as a young man." After tasting it in the wine shop, he sighed: "This is also a career of fame and fame. "The Taoist priest of Xianling Palace invited the master to attend a private school, and the food was very generous. After reading the moon, he suddenly resigned and said: "An Neng is doing Zhu Mo, sitting in a few cases!" Ke Chong's envoy wanted to follow suit, but to no avail. Or ask why, he said: "They are not as strong as me, how can I be able to do it for them! Since ancient times, great sages have heard that there is no limit to people who do not cross the sea. How can the sea be crossed and then it will be faster!" His temperament is strong and unwilling to be a human being. Quite like this. However, one's thoughts are straightforward and there are no hidden paths. When one encounters something he understands, he happily forgets it, and people also enjoy this.

The speaker said: "Mr. Fang Shi tasted the cloud: The world is so big, how can there not be things that are gratifying, lamentable, strange, and ridiculous in the middle? What a great way!" Shen followed the law of Chazhong and tasted it. Gu Zhi asked him about the name of the town, but Gu Zhi said: "You don't need to ask, you are probably a strange person!" He is also good at telling himself! "Zhou Guan" refers to the four people, and Ban Gu lists the nine ministers and others. Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the ninth rank of Zhongzheng has been recognized by Yu Ya, but he cannot see why he is like a human being. A direct biography of Wang Gu.
