Don’t read books! Don’t chant poems! When you read books your eyeballs wither awayleaving the bare sockets. When you chant poems your heart leaks out slowlywith each word. People say reading books is enjoyable. People say chanting poems is fun. But if your lips constantly make a soundlike an insect chirping in autumn, you will only turn into a haggard old man. And even if you don’t turn into a haggard old man, it’s annoying for others to have to hear you. It’s so much betterto close your eyes, sit in your study, lower the curtains, sweep the floor, burn incense. It’s beautiful to listen to the wind, listen to the rain, take a walk when you feel energetic, and when you’re tired go to sleep. Yang Wanli
