From "The Biography of Bian Shao in the Later Han Dynasty":

Bian Shao is filial first, and Chen Liu is also famous for his articles. He teaches hundreds of people and has a mouth to argue. I will lie down during the day and night, and my disciples will laugh privately: "I am filial first, and I have a bowel movement; Lazy reading, but sleepy. " When Shao Qian heard about it, he said to him: "The border is the surname, and filial piety comes first; Abdominal stools, five meridians; But want to sleep, think about things; Sleeping dreams with Duke Zhou, and thinking with Confucius. Can you laugh at the teacher, and write about He Dian? " A mocker is ashamed.

Original interpretation:

Bian Shao is very eloquent. When he speaks, he speaks clearly in class and never fails to answer questions. But he has a problem, that is, he likes to doze off. Because he is fat and has a big belly, he dozes off, and the students look at him funny.

One day, he dozed off with his clothes again. His students privately made up a jingle to laugh at him: "Bian Xiao is a big belly first, and he is too lazy to study. Just want to sleep. " Unexpectedly, when Bian Shao woke up, he quickly knew this jingle, so he immediately made up a few jingles to answer: "Bian is my surname, filial piety is my word, and my belly is a bamboo box with five classics." I just want to sleep and think about the Five Classics. You can meet Zhou Gongdan in your sleep and share the same thoughts with Confucius when you are quiet. Teachers can be laughed at. Which classic does this rule come from? " People who laugh at it are ashamed.
