Chapter 3 General Citation

Kangxi Prince Yinfeng, who wrote the couplet in the third episode under the alias of "Fellow Brother Xun Attacking Dongping County King Mushi", once wrote a poem: "Penghai has three thousand kinds of jade, and Jianglou twelve No flying dust." The title of this book is borrowed from this, because the whole book is divided into twelve questions, and each question is a key point of "Red Learning", that is, a column introduction of the necessary knowledge for reading. Although my "twelve layers" are inspired by Yinfeng's poems, the purpose is not the same.In fact, I just "borrowed" the number "twelve", which happened to coincide with the multi-layered "twelve" in Qin Shu. There are really twelve steps, but it is just a metaphor for us to read, and we can find out the meaning of its content from many aspects. Don't be lucky to "use words to harm meaning".

The poem says: Where is Fangfeijing, the twelfth floor of the Red Building. There is a way for the deep flower ladder, and the high and low climb from the low.
