Source: Act 2, 1 of Lao She's "Youth Commando": "But, brother, you are working for the country, are you still afraid of bowing your head in order to learn more? Don't you often say that people want to "Live until you are old and you will learn"? "The older I get the more I learn." Solon won the title of "The First Poet of Athens" in his early years; before and after the implementation of the "Solon Reform" that destroyed the clan system, he traveled around for inspections; in his later years, he retired at home, engaged in research and writing, and often chanted "Live and learn" To encourage oneself.

The famous biographer Plutarch quoted this famous saying in "The Life of Solon". Rousseau, the French enlightener in the 18th century, quoted and developed Solon's famous saying in his later work "The Reveries of a Solitary Walker". Since then, Solon's famous saying has been passed down to this day.
