Old man Ya would never elaborate on exactly how one should go about "learning" from the mountain. Only in moments of perplexity and frustration would he come out with a spontaneous phrase: "The mountain won't cram its wisdom into your head all by itself, stupid."
至於向山「學習」什麼知識，雅爸總是不動聲色，在自我納悶的時候才會沒頭沒腦地迸出一句話：「山不會自動把智慧裝進人的腦袋，傻瓜！」
