Scholars despise each other, which is natural since ancient times. Fu Yi, who is familiar with Ban Gu, is close to each other, but small. His brother said in a book: "Wuzhong can return to the text and make history for Lantai, so he can't stop writing." His wife is very good at looking at herself, but her literature is incomplete, so she seldom prepares well. She is good at learning from each other's strengths. As the saying goes, "You have a broom at home and enjoy it."

Scholars despise each other, as it has been since ancient times. Fu Yi and Ban Gu are equally talented, but Ban Gu despises Yi Fu. In a letter to his younger brother Ban Chao, he said: "Fu Wuzhong (Yi Fu) was an official in the history of Lantai because he could write articles, but he wrote thousands of words and didn't know what it meant." But mortals are always good at seeing their own advantages, but there is not only one genre of articles, and few people are of various genres.

In fact, it is not contempt, but dissatisfaction, such as Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms.
