嘗以章草答庾亮，而翼深歎伏，因與羲之書云：「吾昔有伯英章草十紙，過江顛狽，遂乃亡失，常歎妙跡永絕。 He once replied to Yu Liang in draft cursive; Yu Yi was awestruck and wrote to him: "I once owned ten sheets of Zhang Zhi's draft cursive, but lost them in the chaos of crossing the Yangzi. I thought such masterpieces were gone forever.

忽見足下答家兄書，煥若神明，頓還舊觀。」 Then I saw your answer to my brother—it shines like a work of the gods and brings that vision back in an instant."
