Dongpo said: "When one observes Tuizhi's correspondence with Meng Jian, and so on, one knows that Tuizhi took pleasure in Dadian just as he did in Wenchang and Chengguan. Yet people in the world have fabricated letters between Tuizhi and [Da]dian, whose wording is crude and vulgar. There was a scholar who inscribed at their end, saying: 'Ouyang [Xiu] stated that unless it were Tuizhi, none could reach this [level of style].' This also slanders Yingshu (Ouyang Xiu). The *Alternative Biography of Tuizhi* circulated in recent times deeply vilifies Tuizhi, and also fabricates an afterword by Yingshu, saying: 'Even if Tuizhi were reborn, he could not exonerate himself.' My friend Wu Yuanming said: 'Xu Junping saw that Jiefu (Wang Anshi) did not like Tuizhi, and therefore wrote this text.'"
