Idioms and allusions

Zuo Si, a writer of Jin Dynasty, was a very naughty child who didn't like reading when he was a child. Father often loses his temper for this, but little Zuo Si is still very naughty and refuses to study hard. One day, Zuo Yong, Zuo Si's father, chatted with his friends, who envied that he had a clever and lovely son. Zuo Si's father sighed and said, "don't mention him any more. Children's Zuo Si's study is not as good as when I was a child. It seems that he doesn't have much potential." He said with a look of disappointment on his face. All this was seen and heard by little Zuo Si. He was very sad and felt that he was really hopeless if he didn't study hard. So he secretly made up his mind to study hard. Day after day, year after year, Zuo Si gradually grew up. Because of his unremitting efforts in reading, he finally became a learned man and wrote very good articles. He wrote Qi Du Fu in one year, which showed his talent in literature and laid the foundation for him to become an outstanding writer. After that, he planned to write Fu on the three capitals of Wei, Shu and Wu in the Three Kingdoms. In order to reach a certain level in content, structure, language and other aspects, he devoted himself to research, carefully wrote, and forgot to eat and sleep. After ten years, the great literary work "San Du Fu" was finally completed. Sandu Fu has been widely praised and compared with Liangdu Fu, a literary masterpiece of Han Dynasty. Because printing had not been invented at that time, the people who loved Sandu Fu could only copy it. Because there were too many people who copied it, the paper supply in Luoyang was in short supply, and the price of paper in the whole city rose sharply. The story comes from the biography of Zuo Si in Jinshu Wenyuan. The idiom "Luoyang Zhigui" praises the popularity of outstanding works.
