Idiom allusion: During the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a famous poet named Xie Lingyun, whose poems were widely circulated. His grandson Xie Chaozong is also very talented. He worked as a constant servant under Ziyuan Liu, the king of Xin 'an, and drafted many proclamations and letters in Ziyuan Liu. Xie Chaozong is full of knowledge, fresh and beautiful in style, and quite paternalistic.
When Xin's mother died, he was specially asked to write a eulogy. Soon, Emperor Xiaowu of Song saw this eulogy and was deeply impressed by its literary talent. He said to the civil and military officials: "There are phoenix feathers in the super family, and the spirit is back!"
Emperor Xiaowu appreciated Xie Chaozong's literary talent very much, praised him for "having phoenix hair" and compared him with his grandfather Xie Lingyun. There was a general Liu Daolong there. After listening to this, I realized that the emperor praised Xie Chaozong as "Feng Mao" and praised his knowledge and talent. I thought that Zong really had such a rare treasure as "Feng Mao".
One day, he met Xie Chaozong and asked, "I heard that your family has a treasure. Can you show it to me? " Xie Chaozong is puzzled: "My family is poor, what treasure is there?" Liu Daolong didn't believe it and said, "Didn't the emperor say that you had a phoenix feather at home at that time?"
Because Liu Daolong is ignorant, he doesn't know the meaning of "",and he doesn't know that Xie Chaozong's father is called "Feng". He also wanted to see "Mao Feng" one by one, which violated Xie Chaozong's family taboo, causing Xie Chaozong to panic and hide indoors before wearing shoes.
Liu Daolong was still waiting there, thinking that he had gone in to find Mao Feng. As a result, Xie Chaozong didn't come out until it was dark and left bitterly. This story has been circulated as a joke for generations.
