Story:
During the Jin Dynasty, Sun Xinggong completed his work, 'Ode to Mount Tiantai.' He presented it to Fan Rongqi, confidently stating, 'Try dropping this to the ground, and it will produce a sound like striking metal and stone.'
Fan Rongqi retorted, 'I fear that sound of metal and stone might not be among the five musical notes!'
Nevertheless, whenever he encountered an exceptionally fine passage, Fan Rongqi would invariably commend it, exclaiming, 'These are indeed the words befitting accomplished individuals like us!'
