Therefore, his (yuan kelizi, Yuan Shu) poems are sad, quiet and sharp. If Liu Yueshi goes up the building and roars, it makes people have the fear of cloud deep and moon near, and guochuang drinks blood." If they all want to eat like them, when they are in the suburbs, where do they come to eat? (Lu Xun's Hua Gai Ji · sacrifice Mo)
