Origin and Story of 户限为穿
During the Southern Dynasties in the Chen Dynasty, Zhijong ( A A智永禅师), a renowned calligrapher, diligently practiced calligraphy for over 30 years.
He used so many brushes that the worn-out ones filled ten urns, which he buried underground in a place called the 'Tomb of Worn Brushes'. In total, he practiced writing 800,000 characters.
He resided in Yongxin Temple in Wuxing County, Zhejiang. So many people came to ask him for inscriptions that the threshold of his room was worn down by their constant foot traffic, eventually requiring him to cover it with a layer of iron.
