Features: Ouyang Yongshu once said in "Retirement Record" that Mr. Qian's hands never left the book, reading classics while sitting, novels while lying down, and small poems while using the toilet. He also claimed that his best writing came from "the three upper positions": riding, resting, and using the toilet, as these were the times when he could best think. Later, because of this statement, "the three upper positions" became a classic allusion. However, it was merely his personal habit and not something everyone could do, including me, who couldn't follow suit.
