This sentence is Du Fu's original poem, not written by Han Yu. From the Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu's "Twenty-two Rhymes for Wei Zhang": "Reading breaks ten thousand volumes, and writing is like a god." Later generations have made different interpretations of these two poems. In Detailed Interpretation of Du Fu's Poems in the autumn of Qing Dynasty, there are three interpretations of the word "broken" in "reading ten thousand volumes". One said, "I have many volumes in my chest, so I can write from both sides." Second, he said, "The book is broken, that is, You Wei compiled three unique works. It is easy to grind when it is cooked. " Third: "See through ten thousand volumes of truth". These three theories reflect the different understanding of the word "broken". To sum up, it is: breakthrough, wear out and see through. "
