The staff around Meng Changjun gave him poor food because Meng Changjun looked down on him. After a while, Feng Xuan leaned against the bullet post and sang, "Go home, long pass! There is no fish for dinner. "

The clerk told Meng Changjun about this situation, and Meng Changjun said, "Give him fish to eat and treat him as a diner." Soon, Feng Xuan waved his sword again and sang, "Go home, long pass! There is no car when going out. " Everyone laughed at him and told Meng Changjun about it.

From the Western Han Dynasty Liu Xiang's "Feng Xuan Guest Meng Changjun" (selected from "The Warring States Policy Qi Ce"), the original text is:

The left and right sides are also humble, and food is straw. Living for a long time, leaning against the column and playing the sword. He sang, "The shovel is back! Don't eat fish. " Tell me about it. Meng Changjun said: "It is better to be a guest at home than to eat." After living there for a while, he repeated his cymbals and sang "Long cymbals are back!" " No car. "Laugh at it and tell you from left to right.

Creative background:

During the Warring States period, the patriarchal clan system was destroyed, and the power of lords such as princes and nobles was weakened. They were in urgent need of a large number of supporters and planners, so the governors competed to cultivate scholars, and this special class of scholars appeared.

The scholar class was a special class at that time and had certain social forces. They are attached to the monarch and constantly offer suggestions to expand their political influence and consolidate their power. This article not only shows the talent and wisdom of the literati in the Warring States Period through Feng Xuan, but also reflects the political outlook of that era.

Theme appreciation:

This paper describes the political and diplomatic activities (burning coupons, seeking reconciliation, and building a ancestral temple in Xue) to consolidate the political position, showing political insight and outstanding talent: being good at using contradictions to solve contradictions. It also reflects the contradictions within the ruling group of Qi and between the vassal states of Qi and Wei.

At first, it was written from the opposite side that Feng Xuan was considered an incompetent person. When he first came to Meng Changjun as a diner, he was treated as "eating grass". He sang it three times and begged for his life repeatedly, which reflected his resentment and extraordinary spirit.
