Allusion of grass growing


The allusion of "knot grass" can be seen in the 15th year of Zuozhuan Xuangong. In the autumn and July of 594 B.C., Duke Huan of Qin sent troops to attack Jin. Jin army and Qin army fought in the Fu family of Jin (now Dali County, Shaanxi Province). Jin met Wei Jin and Qin Du Hui, and they fought together. At the same time, Wei Jian suddenly saw an old man


most sincere thanks and gratitude


Du Hui was caught with a rope made of straw, which made the powerful man of Qin unstable, fell to the ground, and was captured by Wei Jian on the spot, which made him lose the Qin division in this battle.


It turned out that Wei Wuzi, a senior official of the Jin State, had a concubine, Zuji, but no son. When Wei Wuzi was ill, he told his son Wei Zhong, "if I die, you must choose a good match to marry her." Later, when Wei Wuzi was seriously ill, he said to Wei Zhong, "after I died, I must let her die for me, so that I can have company under Jiuquan." When Wu Zi died, Wei Zhen didn't kill her and bury her, but married her to someone else. His younger brother asked why he didn't respect his father's dying wish. Wei said, "when people are seriously ill, their mind is confused and unclear. I married this daughter according to his father's command when he is sober."


After the Jin army won the battle, in his dream that night, Wei saw the old man who tied ropes for him and tripped Du Hui. The old man said, "I am the father of the lady you married. You used the good order from your ancestors and didn't let my daughter bury with you. So I made grass to resist Du's return!"!








The allusion of the title ring


When Yang Bao, the father of Yang Zhen (59-124 A.D., early Eastern Han Dynasty), was nine years old, he saw a yellow sparrow injured by an eagle and fell under a tree in the north of Huayin mountain,

Trapped by ants. Yang Baolian took it home and put it in the towel box. The Yellow sparrow only eats the yellow flowers, and after a hundred days, it has plump feathers and flies away. That night, a boy in yellow thanked Yang Bao and said, "I'm the emissary of the queen mother of the West. You are kind to save and save me. I feel really lucky." And four white rings were given to Yang Bao, saying, "it can protect the descendants of the king from being in the rank of three gongs. They are honest and clean in government, and act as white as this jade ring."


As the boy in yellow said, Yang Zhen, his son, Yang Bing, his grandson, Yang Ci, and Yang Biao, his great grandson, were all officials of Taiwei. They were upright and honest. Their virtues were proclaimed by later generations.
