Ouyang Xun visited the ancient stele

Ouyang Xun visited the ancient stele and saw it written by Suo Jing of Jin Dynasty. Standing on horseback to watch, it took a long time to leave. After several hundred steps, he dismounted and stood there. When he was tired, he sat down and watched in cloth, and stayed beside him for three days before leaving.

Translation:

Ouyang Xun of the Tang Dynasty once traveled and accidentally saw an ancient stele. It turned out to be written by Suo Jing, a famous calligrapher in the Jin Dynasty, so he stopped and browsed for a long time before leaving. After a few hundred steps, he returned, dismounted and stood in front of the monument to observe. When he was tired, he spread out his leather clothes and sat down to observe, then slept next to it. He did not leave until the third day.
