Among the sons of Dou Chi, the Sui Dynasty's Taifu, only Dou Wei was a bookworm. He was appointed secretary Lang, who was in charge of the Royal books and classics. His brother followed Yang Guang to destroy Chen guohou in the Southern Dynasty and brought back countless gold and silver treasures. Dou Wei's chariots and horses in front of the door were left out in the cold, and became "the humble Dou mansion", so he was later re used by Li Yuan, Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty.
