The story "Cheng Men Li Xue" tells the story of Song Dynasty scholars Yang Shi and You Zuo seeking advice from Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi.

Er Cheng was a native of Yichuan, Luoyang, and a famous Confucianist in the Song Dynasty. The Ercheng theory was later inherited and developed by Zhu Xi, and was known as the "Cheng-Zhu School" in the world. Yang Shi and You Zuo studied with Er Cheng and were very respectful. Yang You and Yang You originally had Cheng Hao as their teacher. After Cheng Hao's death, they were already forty years old and had passed the Jinshi examination. However, they still had to go to Cheng Yi to continue their studies. The story happened on the day when they first came to Songyang Academy to pay homage to Cheng Yi.

According to legend, one day Yang Shi and You Zuo came to Songyang Academy to pay homage to Cheng Yi. They met the old gentleman with his eyes closed, sitting up and pretending to sleep. Cheng Yi knew clearly that two guests were coming, but he refused to say anything and ignored them. Yang and You were afraid of disturbing their husband's rest, so they had no choice but to stand respectfully and wait silently for him to open his eyes. After waiting like this for a long time, Cheng Yi suddenly woke up. When he saw Yang and You, he pretended to be surprised and said: "Ah! Ah! The sages have been calling here for a long time!" It means that you two are still here and haven't left. It was a very cold day in winter. I don’t know when it started to snow. There was snow outside the door, more than a foot deep.

Translation

Yang Shi, whose courtesy name was Zhongli, was a general in Jiannan. As a child, he was extremely smart and good at writing articles. When he got a little older, he concentrated on studying classics and history. In the ninth year of Song Xining's reign, he became a Jinshi. During the Xining and Yuanfeng years, Cheng Hao and his younger brother Cheng Yi from Henan taught the academic essence of Confucius and Mencius (i.e. Neo-Confucianism) locally. The literati in the areas around the Yellow River and Luoshui rushed to worship them as their teachers. At that time, Yang Shi was transferred, but he did not go to the post in order to become a disciple. Later, he became a disciple of Cheng Hao in Yingchang, and the teachers and students got along very well. When Yang Shi returned, Cheng Hao watched him off and said, "My doctrine will be spread to the south."

Another four years later, Cheng Hao passed away. After Yang Shi heard about it, he set up a funeral memorial for Cheng Hao in his bedroom and wrote an obituary letter to his classmates. After that, he went to Luoyang to visit Cheng Yi. At this time, Yang Shi was about forty years old. One day I visited Cheng Yi. Cheng Yi was dozing off.
