He preferred to grow vegetables. Xun Kuang believes in his works that Shi Yu and Tian Zhong "steal their names from the dark world" by deception, and they are the greatest harm. This is the origin of the idiom "deceiving the world and stealing one's name". It refers to deceiving the world and stealing reputation.
