The source of this classic comes from the biography of Nan Shi Xiao Jun: "Jun often writes the Five Classics in calligraphy as a volume and puts it in a towel box for forgetting. The waiter read the congratulatory message and asked,' Your Highness's family has its own grave, so why do you need a good book instead of hiding it in a towel box?' Answer:' There are five classics in the towel box, which is easy to review. If you write it again, you won't forget it.' "
Xiao Jun, the 11th son of Xiao Daocheng, Emperor of Gao Qi in the Southern Dynasties, was a secretary supervisor and a general's Fujun, who later succeeded Hengyang in Wang Yuan. Jun Xiao likes studying and writing. He often copies the five classics in fine print by himself. Every book is a volume, put it in a towel box so as not to forget it. He Jun, an assistant scholar, asked him, "Your Highness has his own scriptures at home. Why do you copy the fine print and hide it in a small box?" Xiao Jun replied: "There are five Confucian classics in the small box basket, such as Poetry, Book of Changes, Rites and Spring and Autumn Annals. It is very convenient to look up and will never be forgotten after copying them in person." When other kings heard about it, they all followed suit and copied the Five Classics, which was the beginning of the Five Classics.
