In the poem "Panyu staff" written by Wang Yun of Yuan Dynasty, "it is expensive for things to leave their hometown, but the materials are rare and the truth is wrong." Shen Jing, Ming Dynasty, wrote in the story of burying a sword, Rouyuan: "since ancient times, things have been expensive and people have been cheap in their hometown. It's true that this saying is true, and now it's a memory of home."
