He was drinking alone, reciting Zuo Si's Hermit Poem, and suddenly he thought of Dai Kui. At that time, Dai Kui lived in Shaanxi, and Wang Huizhi visited Dai Kui by boat overnight.

When someone asked him why, Wang Huizhi said, "I went there on a whim and didn't come back until I was exhausted. Why do I have to see Dai Kui? "
