What you get on paper is superficial, but you never know what you have to do-from Lu You's Reading on a Winter Night. This is a godson poem by Lu You. It's called reading on a winter night, and it's for a child. Written at the end of the fifth year of Zhuangyuan in Ningzong (A.D. 1 199). The poet talked about his views on knowledge acquisition from two aspects: one is to spend effort, and the other is to "practice". The ideas expressed in the poem are not only the experience of reading on a winter night, but also the summary of the poet's diligent study.

The ancients learned nothing,
Young people never grow old.
What you get on paper is superficial,
Never knew it needed doing.
