The way of scholars runs deep, born of Wei-Jin pure debates and courtly discourses, later embracing rivers-and-lakes disputes and common folk's words.
At the dynasty's founding, the court established the Drum Division, urging all people to debate state affairs.
Thus, every opinionated soul under heaven converged in the Drum Division—
Wielding verbal blades to mingle with all walks of life, laying forth pearls of wisdom on matters of home and state.
But a scholar should always remember: one's words should align with thoughts, thoughts with intentions, and intentions with the laws of heaven.
This is the path of righteous prosperity.
