Legend has it that in ancient times there was a calligrapher named Wang Xizhi, whose calligraphy skills were so high that he was known as the "Sage of Calligraphy." One day, Wang Xizhi went on a trip and came to a mountain peak. He was fascinated by the colorful scenery on the peak and took out his pen and ink to start copying it. He carefully observed the shape of the peak, the color of the sky, the posture of the trees, and the waterfall cascading down the mountain. He incorporated all these sights into his calligraphy, eventually creating a beautiful landscape painting. In this painting, the majestic mountain, the azure sky, the lush trees, and the cascading waterfall, vividly displayed the colorful scenery of the mountain. People said that this painting was Wang Xizhi's masterpiece, the pinnacle of his calligraphy skills.
