文恭孝慕罔極，乃居祖父墓次，晨夕拜跪。 Wengong's filial longing was boundless. He therefore dwelt beside his grandfather's tomb, bowing and kneeling morning and evening.

跣足負土，培祖父二墓，寒暑竭力，積年不已，見者莫不哀歎。 Barefoot he bore earth and banked up his grandfather's two tombs. Through cold and heat he strained with all his strength year after year without cease. None who saw it failed to sigh in pity.
