One written word is worth a thousand pieces of gold

Mah, Adeline Yen2002
Books, Manuscripts
A personal account and lively history of China in the 1st century B.C., from when most Chinese proverbs are drawn, when a scholar's conversation would be studded with appropriate sayings, and a man's status in society would be defined by his use and knowledge of proverbs. Much of this is still true today.
