Example: Song huzai's first episode of yuyinconghua in Tiaoxi: Wei Suzhou: "how can the reeds and reeds be lush, without the strength of Sanxiang and Qize, the snow covered smoke boats, and the windless masts and horses?" Qian Qianyi's preface to the complete works of Du Chenwu: "the military documents are written in the form of Yu Xi, the sweat is simple and wrong, the wind is strong and the horse is flying, and the ink is flying."
