盛昱少慧，十歲時作詩用「特勤」字，據唐闕特勤碑證新唐書突厥「純特勒」為「特勤」之誤，繇是顯名。 Sheng Yu showed exceptional talent as a boy. At ten he used the term "teqin" in a poem and, citing the Tang stele of Kül Tigin, demonstrated that the New Tang History's Turkic "chun tele" was a misreading of "teqin"—an achievement that brought him wide renown.
