54.71

The Yantie lun says: "If within there is no substance, while on the outside one studies cultured embellishment, then even if one has worthy teachers and good friends, it is like painting on fat or carving in ice: a waste of days and a loss of effort. Therefore a good teacher cannot beautify Chengshi, and lustrous fragrant ointment cannot improve Momu."
