After returning to Jiangning Prefecture, Xu Qing had Yan Shan, who came back with him, host Xie Quan to show him around Jiangning Prefecture, familiarizing him with the local customs and also introducing him to the matters of the Recovery Society.
Yan Shan, who had long admired Xie Quan, a once renowned scholar from Yingtian, was quite excited to take on this task.
Xie Quan intended to leave Xu Qing for a while to further investigate the actual situation of Jiangning Prefecture and the Recovery Society and to gain a deeper understanding of Xu Qing.
He deeply agreed with the principles Xu Qing proposed, such as "Unity of Knowledge and Action, Returning to the Good."
Experience teaches us that theoretical knowledge is shallow without personal involvement.
Thus, without practical investigation, understanding a person merely through theoretical discussions is not comprehensive.
