4. Lu You built a book nest.
In my room, I live on a rafter, or in front of me, or sleep on a bed, and jump around. I am just a book. I eat and drink, groan in pain, sigh with indignation, and it is not without books. Guests don't come, wives don't stay, and the changes of wind, rain and hail are unknown. Sometimes I think of it, but I still can't do it by messing around with books, such as accumulating branches. I laughed at myself and said, "Isn't this what I call the evil of the nest?" Just to attract guests, attract guests to see. At first, guests can't enter, but they can't leave either. Instead, he smiled and said, "Believe it like a nest!" Selected works from Weinan

Guests don't visit, their wives and children don't meet, and they don't know anything about changes such as wind, rain, thunder and hail. Occasionally, I want to stand up, but the messy schoolbags surround me, like dead branches, and sometimes I can't walk, so I laugh at myself and say, "Isn't this the den I'm talking about?" So I invited guests to take a closer look. At first, the guests couldn't get in (the house), but when they entered the house, they couldn't get out, so (the guests) smiled and said, "This is really like a den!" " "
