The origin of Idioms
The third part of Wang Shouren's book with Wang Chunfu in Ming Dynasty: "the learning of later generations is trivial and fragmented. It's just the so-called picking and drawing. In the meantime, it's better to have no small supplement, but in the end, it's not the learning of accumulating the foundation and seeking the origin. Every sentence is the combination of words."
