To memorize and recite (記誦 [ji song]) books one has read, in preparation for answering difficult questions (問難 [wen nan]) or challenges.

Song Dynasty (宋 [song]) scholar Ouyang Xiu (歐陽修 [ou yang xiu]) wrote in his "Epitaph for Cai Junshan" (〈蔡君山墓誌銘 [cai jun shan mu zhi ming]〉): "Scholars (學者 [xue zhe]) who regard memorization and answering questions (應對 [ying dui]) as their primary task (為事 [wei shi]) do not align with the ancient (古 [gu]) intention of selecting officials (取士 [qu shi])."
