The Master ended his lesson early one day, as his students were being forgetful and indolent with their history. Later that day, he heard them all reciting lines of frivolous poems and arguing over characters in the latest novels (小說).
The Master was furious and struck them with his cane as he exclaimed: “Ahh! I see now why the soup was so foul today- the pot was full of mud! How can you hope to contain a single kernel of Wisdom (智) in your heads when you overflow it to the brim with chaff (糠)?”
