During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Yu, the Grand Administrator of Danyang in Eastern Wu, was exceptionally fond of studying ancient books and actively encouraged the children of his subordinates to read them.
He held immense respect for Ma Pu from Jiyin, a man known for his profound dedication to ancient learning and extensive knowledge. Sun Yu invited Ma Pu to his residence to tutor the children of his generals and officials.
Seizing this opportunity, he established academies in both Danyang and Lujiang prefectures. Sun Yu himself frequently gave lectures there, attracting hundreds of students.
