It's snowing at Chengmen

Shi Yang (1053~ 1 135) was a gifted scholar in the Northern Song Dynasty and a musician in Nanjianfu (now Fujian). After winning the Jinshi, he gave up being an official and continued his studies.

One day, it snowed heavily and it was freezing. When Shi Yang encountered a problem, he braved the cold wind to ask his classmate You Zuo (1053~ 1 123) to go to the teacher's house for advice. When he came to the teacher's house, he found the teacher asleep in the chair. He couldn't bear to disturb him, for fear of affecting the teacher's rest, so he stood quietly outside and waited. When the teacher woke up, the snow under their feet was one foot deep and covered with snow. The teacher invited Shi Yang and others into the room to give them a lecture. Later, "Chengmen Sydney" became a widely circulated model of respecting teachers.
