2.471

道超。苦學。獨居一室。以儒釋經典環座。手不釋卷。任塵擁室。時中書吳群問曰。虫鳴塵擁。安得無忤。超曰䖝聲足代蕭管。塵土滿室未暇掃也。

Daochao studied arduously, dwelling alone in a room. He surrounded his seat with Confucian and Buddhist scriptures, never setting books down from his hands, allowing dust to gather in the room. At that time, Secretariat Drafter Wu Qun asked: 'Insects chirp and dust gathers; how can you not be disturbed?' Chao said: 'The sound of insects is quite enough to replace flutes and pipes; with the room full of dust, I have had no leisure to sweep it.'
