Chapter 51 Ten eyes and one line

"One eye and ten lines" is an idiom that describes the speed of reading a book. It is said that Emperor Jian Wen of the Liang Dynasty "learned all ten lines of reading".But Ruan Yuan in the Qing Dynasty was in favor of "ten eyes and one line".Ruan Yuan edited and printed many books, and often asked a person named Yan Jie to help him proofread. Ruan Yuan wrote a poem for him: "Yan Zijing proofreads, I have the longest day in the library, anthology of classics and essays, ten chapters Let’s start a line.” Xiaoyu means proofreading; “guan” means borrowing, and Yan Jie lived in Ruan Yuan’s house at that time.The most important thing when proofreading is to be careful. If one-sidedness seeks to be fast, some typos will be easily overlooked.
