In order to recruit talented people, Feng Yunshan, the southern king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, hung such a couplet in front of his barber shop: "Sharpen your hair and shave it when you have a head; Try it, the world will wait and see. "

Shi Dakai, the wing king, thought that this couplet was not verve enough to attract attention, so he began to change it to "sharpen his beard and ask how many heads there are in the world?" Give it a try and see what the old-fashioned means are. "

After the new couplets were posted, the business in the store was booming, not only shaving their heads, but also attracting many heroes to defect.
