What do you mean by studying history makes people wise and geography broadens them?
It means: studying history makes us rational instead of blindly following, and studying geography makes us broad, know the world and broaden our minds.

Origin: Su Zhe, a writer in the Song Dynasty, wrote a letter to Qi in the second year of Jiayou (AD 1057).

Original sentence:

Zhe was born ten to nine years ago. Their homes and tourists are just neighbors; What I saw was only a few hundred miles, and there were no mountains and wild places to visit. Although Bai has read all his books, they are all traces of the ancients, which is not enough to stimulate his ambition.

Translation:

It has been nineteen years since I was born. Live at home and associate with people who are just neighbors and fellow villagers. What you see is only the scenery within a few hundred miles of Fiona Fang, and there is nothing to visit the open-minded Shan Ye. Although a hundred schools of thought contend, he reads everything, but they are all things from the past of the ancients, which can't stimulate his ambition.

The writing background of Han Taiwei's Book;

In the first year of Jiayou in Song Renzong (A.D. 1056), Su Shi and Su Zhe went to Beijing with their father Su Xun and were appreciated by Ouyang Xiu, the literary leader at that time. In the second year of Jiayou, 19-year-old Su Zhe and his brother Su Shi won the Jinshi together. Su Zhe wrote a letter to Han Qi, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty at that time, after he entered Jinshi High School. This is the book of Han Taiwei, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty.

This paper focuses on his own literary proposition-"shaping a writer's spirit", and expresses his admiration for Han Qi and his intention to meet him. However, when expressing his admiration for Han Qi, Su Zhe's writing did not show the intention of climbing high branches and seeking high officials, but he was eager to get to know high people. I hope that the experts can make suggestions and achieve the purpose of invigorating qi, and my words are sincere and talented.
