"读经味如稻粱，读史味如肴馔，读诸子百家味如醯醢。"
- The original saying in Classical Chinese

"读四书五经之类味如吃米面，是食之本；读史记味如喝美酒吃佳肴：读诸子百家之类的书，味如酱醋（好比烹调中的佐料一样）。"

- The saying in Modern Chinese

"To read the Four Books and Five Classics^[1] is as if you're eating the rice or the noodles of the meal, they are the central to the experience; To read the Records of the Grand Historian^[2] is as if you're sipping the delicate wine or eating the most expensive dish of the meal; To read the Hundred Schools of Thought^[3] is as if you're tasting the soy sauce or the vinegar, as in the seasoning of the meal"

- The saying translated to English and with context

The SanWei Bookstore is where the famous Chinese author Lu Xun (周樹人) studied at when he was in his teens.^[4]
