張翼，王右軍自書表，晉穆帝令翼寫題後答，右軍當時不別，久後方悟，云『小人幾欲亂真』。 Zhang Yi: when the Right General Wang drafted a memorial himself, Emperor Mu of Jin had Yi copy it and pen the heading on the reply; at the time the Right General could not tell which was which; only much later did he see through it and say, "The little man nearly turned truth upside down."
