Story:
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Zhang intended to appoint Dr. Cao Bao to be in charge of revising rituals and music.
However, Ban Gu advocated gathering all Confucian scholars in the capital to collectively research and formulate the rituals and music.
Emperor Zhang believed that letting Confucian scholars do it would be like "building a house by the roadside, taking three years without completion." So, he insisted on Cao Bao completing the task alone.
After review, 150 chapters were adopted.
