Story:
During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Wen Zisheng composed the 'Hanling Mountain Temple Stele Inscription.'
Yu Xin, upon reading the text, made a rubbing of it.
When people from the Southern Dynasties asked Yu Xin about his impression of the northern literati, he replied: 'Only that single stone tablet at Hanling Mountain is worth conversing with. Xue Daoheng and Lu Sidao barely know how to wield a pen. As for everyone else, their writings are nothing but donkey braying and dog barking, a mere nuisance to the ears.'
