Their family collection of books was as vast as the ocean, and every generation had members devoted to poetry, books, rituals, and music, combining farming and reading to maintain their family. They not only treasured numerous books left by their ancestors, but also had family traditions and rules passed down from generation to generation. The children of the Lin family received a good education from a young age: they composed poems, painted, played music, and mastered all the arts. They were humble and studious, and always treated others politely and respectfully. The Lin family’s reputation spread far and wide, and they became a respected family of scholars. Their family style deeply influenced their descendants, leading the Lin family to carry on the tradition of reading generation after generation, becoming a beautiful sight in the small town.
