Volume 48 of Hou Han Shu written by Fan Ye of Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty: in the past, people in Zheng Dynasty used dried rats as their purples, which were used in Zhou Dynasty. Song Yufu also used Baoyan stone, which was used in ten times. The man who saw it covered his mouth and laughed. It's very polite and vulgar. [Li Xian of Tang Dynasty quoted que Zi as saying: "the fool of Song Dynasty got the east of Yan Shiwu terrace and hid it as a great treasure. The guests of Zhou Dynasty observed it after hearing about it. The host's father Zhai for seven days carried the clothes of the crown, defiled it with special sacrifice, changed the chamber for ten times, and made ten attacks on the towel. When the guest saw it, he closed his mouth and Lu Hu said with a smile, "this Yan stone is no different from the tile." The master's father said angrily, "the words of the merchant set up the heart of the craftsman." The more solid you hide, the more cautious you keep. " 】
