As the saying goes: If you sow melons, you will reap melons; if you sow beans, you will reap beans. This means that what you want to harvest, you should plant. For example, those who want to harvest melons must first plant melons; those who want to harvest beans must first plant beans. There will never be an abnormal phenomenon of reaping beans if you sow melons and reaping melons if you sow beans. The meaning of Hu Shi's inscription "If you want to harvest something, plant it first" is based on this ancient saying that has been circulating for a long time.

It is a fact recognized by the world that Hu Shi is a celebrity. He and Lu Xun are both giants who have the greatest influence on later generations among modern thinkers. His inscriptions are the same as those of Hu Shi's classics, and it goes without saying that they have influenced future generations.
