The most elegant of the treasure houses of traditional culture is the qinqi calligraphy and painting. In 353 AD, Wang Xizhi and his friends met in Lanting for a nap, and Wang Xizhi, who was drunk, improvised and wrote the masterpiece "Lanting Collection" that has been passed down through the ages. More than 1,600 years later, in 1982, the Shanghai Film Studio created and filmed the film "Pen in Love" based on this story, which won the "Best Foreign Film Award" at the Royyan International Film Festival in France in 1983. In the play, the name of the calligrapher "Zhao Xuzhi" played by Wang Bozhao is taken from the calligraphers: Zhao Mengfu, Zhang Xu, and Wang Xizhi.
The young calligrapher Zhao Xuzhi triumphantly wrote the "Jiangnan Peerless" wine banner for the hotel owner. Wen Juan, the eldest daughter of Tai Wei Qi Shen, passed by this place and saw Zhao Xu's style and talent, and could not help but feel admiration. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Tai Wei invited all the famous talents of the city to the palace, named Guan Lantern Appreciation, and interned Wen Juan to choose a son-in-law. Asahi was late, and when he saw the real handwriting of Zhong Xuan in the hall, he was fascinated and used his finger as a pen to study on the ground. After Wen Juan saw it, she admired it even more, and Qi Shen was also quite appreciative, so she chose Zhao as her son-in-law. Xu Zhi did not know that Wen Juan was both talented and did not want to agree, and after being persuaded by his friend Xu Anmin, he temporarily stayed in Qi Fu to study books. Qi Shen and his wife quietly prepare for the marriage, but are informed by Xuzhi and flee on the day of their marriage. At this time, the guest Yingmen, Qi Shen, with the help of An Min, had to change to asahi's brother Haozhi and the third daughter Xiaojuan, who were engaged to lovers. One day, Xuzhi, An Min, and others were chanting poems and paintings by the stream, and when they saw that Grandma Lu's fan could not be sold, they wrote an inscription on righteousness. As a result, tourists rushed to buy. Wen Juan walked here, also bought one, and happened to meet Xuzhi. Asahi saw that Wen Juan was outstanding in appearance and proficient in calligraphy, and was deeply impressed, and when he learned that she was Wen Juan, he regretted it. That night, Xu Zhi came to the Qi Mansion to ask Wen Juan for her guilt. Wen Juan asks Xu Zhi to consult Lady Yu. The next day, Lady Yu handed over Wen Juan's relic brush to Xu Zhi and told Xu Zhi that Wen Juan was also her proud protégé, the person who hated the conceit the most, And Xu Zhi had to be appointed as the general of the Zuo Army, and once again came to the door to propose marriage, and was in the process of encountering the general Heng Shu, the protector general of the Nanling Princess, who proposed marriage. At the suggestion of An Min, Mr. and Mrs. Qi Shen decided to test calligraphy in the hall, and wen juan chose to be the son-in-law. Unexpectedly, the calligraphy of the two is generally the same, and Wen Juan is also difficult. An Min used the "Tibetan Head Poem" to enlighten Wen Juan: "Should stay in the spring". Asahi is accompanied by Ahn Min and travels to Gangnam. Passing through an ancient temple, Asahina saw a ragged man selling words, not believing that he could write good words, and the seller went into the shed on the spot to get paper to write. At this time, Wen Juan, who was hiding in the middle of the grass shed, wrote a book with a pen and handed it out to the seller. Asahi was shocked to see the words, and An Min took the opportunity to persuade Asahi to stop being conceited and humbly ask for advice. A year later, when Xu Zhi returned home, he learned that the sale of characters was the work of Wen Juan, and he was deeply ashamed, and decided to visit the famous mountains in the northern country again and watch the inscriptions on behalf of the scholars. Qi Taiwei's second daughter, Yu juan, secretly fell in love with Huan Shu, and An Min designed for them to meet at Mount Tai. The two see each other and hate each other late, and Huan Shu and Yu Juan, who dressed as a man, exchange swords and form a life-and-death friendship. With Wen Juan's encouragement, Xu Zhi decided to go on a third trip, and under the guidance of Lady Yu, he went to visit Lady Yu. After these twists and turns, Xu finally saw Yu Da Niang dancing her sword in the East Sea, and was greatly enlightened, waving cursive writing, and the dragon flying phoenix dance. In the autumn, Xu Zhi and Huan Shu once again tried calligraphy in Qi Province, and Xu Zhi's pen walked the dragon and snake, and the seat was shocked. Suddenly, the eldest princess arrived, intent on sheltering her son. An Min made a plan, and Huan Shu learned that Taishan had befriended his brother Yu Juan, and would rather die than abandon the oath. Under the persuasion of An Min, the eldest princess finally changed her mind and married the three couples. Asahi and Wenjuan strolled to the Bamboo Forest Liquor Store, took off the "Gangnam Peerless" sake banner, and walked forward...
