(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

Wang Xi-zhi is one of the most famous calligraphers（书法家） during the Eastern Jin Dynasty of China. When he was very young, he practiced his art every day and never stopped.

Later he absorbed the strong points of all the other schools of calligraphy¹, and developed his own unique style of writing. Because of his achievements, he has been honored as one of China's sages² of calligraphy. One time, Wang Xi-zhi sketched³ in wood for an engraver⁴ to cut. Then the engraver found the ink had penetrated⁵ one centimeter into the wood.

"Ru Mu San Fen⁶" is got from this story, which means the calligraphy is penetrating⁷.

Now it is often used to describe expressing sharp ideas or profound views.
