He cited: "When Li Bo asked Guizong, 'Mount Sumeru containing a mustard seed—I do not doubt this; but a mustard seed containing Mount Sumeru—is this not false?' Guizong said, 'People say that the prefect has read ten thousand volumes of books; is that true?' [Li Bo] said, 'Yes.' Guizong said, 'Your body is the size of a coconut; where do you put ten thousand volumes of books?' Lord Li could only bow his head."
