"Yu Zi, look at this article again!" Lu You said to Yu. After reading it, Yu Zi happily said to his father Lu You, "Dad, Dad, I understand. This article is to tell us, don't read a lot of poetry books like the protagonist in On Paper, but don't practice them, which leads to the final failure, right? "
"Yes, this article is to tell us that the knowledge learned from books is not profound enough after all. If you want to understand this knowledge thoroughly, you must practice it yourself. " Lu Youyou further educated his son Yu Zi. Later, Lu You wrote this song "Reading on a Winter Night".
