From the Father's Lecture Notes
Two people about your child's age: Zu Ying wrote poems at eight, Li Mi wrote on the game of go at seven. The weight of this lecture is in their ages. The people in the last lecture were too old; these are the same age as he is.
Translated from Yikonglu's Father's Lecture Notes for the Three Character Classic, written for a parent teaching a child.
