When he was in Luoyang, Xijing, he once told his bureaucratic subordinates: In his life, he only loved reading, sitting and reading classics (that is, reading hundreds of pre-Qin works). When I was sleeping, I read various miscellaneous notes, and when I went to the toilet, I read folk songs and literati poems from the Tang Dynasty. I never put down the book for a moment. When he was a child, he always brought a book with him every time he went to the toilet. The sound of the ancient books was clear and loud and could be heard from far and near. He was so eager to learn. So I said to Xie Jiang: "Most of the articles I have written in my life are on the 'three places', that is, on the horse, on the pillow, and on the toilet." Because only in this way can we have a good idea. ”
