When Eight-Nation Alliance invaded Beijing and made peace with the Qing side, he said that an imperialist took the opportunity to make this couplet insulting the Chinese nation, and the Qing representative gave a strong response to this couplet. Both of them use the same side to make an issue of "Qin, Qin and Pipa". The upper part is the same as "Wang" and "Demon", the left part is the same as "Ghost", and the radicals are the same.
Legend has it that after Eight-Nation Alliance captured Beijing, a Japanese who claimed to be an "China hand" hung a couplet on the wall and asked him to sign it:
"Riding a strange horse, pulling a long bow, eight kings of harps and harps, the king acceded to the throne, and fighting alone."
In the face of the aggressor's provocation, a China citizen risked his life to stand up and respond:
"Japanese Committee, attacking dragon clothes, four ghosts, ghosts living on the edge, hand in hand."
Also; There are a pair of ancient ones in Zhang Yi's Notes on Official Travel:
"Qin se se pa eight kings, generally leading;
Four little devils, all kinds of stomachs. "
