Xu Wenchang wrote a strange couplet in his later years, which is puzzling, but amazing after explanation!
One day, Xu Wenchang went to the library to give a lecture. Many young people gathered in a large living room to listen to his teachings. He encourages young people to cherish the good times and study hard. At this time, the owner of the academy took out pen and ink and asked Xu Wenchang to write a couplet for the academy. Xu Wenchang is very interested in this. He wrote the first part with a pen: "Good reading is not good for reading". After reading it, everyone looked at each other, wondering what it meant, waiting to see the second part. I saw Xu Wenchang dip his pen in it and wrote, "Good reading is not good for reading".
