Good literature or words
When he went to school, Cao Ba Quat wrote very badly, so many good essays were still given poor marks by his teacher.
One day, an old lady next door came to implore:
- The old family has an unjust matter that they want to appeal to the mandarin, can you please help write the application?
Cao Bat Quat happily replied:
- I thought it was difficult, but I was willing to do it.
The letter wrote a clear argument, Cao Ba Quat assured that the official would consider the injustice for the old woman. Unexpectedly, his handwriting was so bad that the mandarin couldn't read it, so he yelled at the soldiers to chase her out of the district. Returning home, she told a story that made Cao Ba Quat extremely regretful. He knew that no matter how good the writing was, it wouldn't help if the words didn't come out. Since then, he has devoted himself to practicing writing beautifully.
In the morning, he took a stick to draw on the column of the house to practice writing to be strong. Every evening, he finished writing ten pages before going to bed. Handwriting has improved, he borrowed beautiful handwriting books as models to practice many different types of letters.
Persevering in practice for several years, his handwriting is getting better and better every day. He was famous throughout the country as a good writer.
