Legend has it that during the Warring States Period, a woman named Han E came to Qi. Because of hunger all the way, she has been short of food for several days, and she is singing and begging at the southwest gate of Linzi, Qi State. Her beautiful and euphemistic singing deeply touched the heartstrings of the audience and left a deep impression on people. Three days later, people can still hear her singing in the beams. People say that Han E's song "echoes around the beam for three days".

Han E lives in a hotel. Because of poverty, Han E was insulted by the innkeeper. Han E was heartbroken and left. The voice was so sad that everyone who heard her sing felt as if she were immersed in sadness. At one time, the innkeeper had to invite her back to sing a happy song. Han E "restored Long song". When everyone heard that he "danced with joy and could control himself", the atmosphere suddenly became cheerful, and he forgot all his previous sadness. His singing is touching, even here.

Therefore, later generations have the idiom allusions of "lingering sound around the beam" and "three days around the beam" to describe the beauty of singing and the charm of music.

Confucius listened to Shao Le's "I don't know the taste of meat in March", and Han Eshan sang the echoes for three days. The power of music is really unimaginable.

Li Bai, a great poet in ancient China, drifted to a fairy mountain on the sea with the wind one night in a sleepy state. I saw a vast sea of clouds, surrounded by lush flowers and trees. Li Bai was intoxicated by the beauty of nature. Just then, a huge brush rose from the sea of clouds, more than ten feet high, like a jade pillar. Li Bai thought to himself, "How wonderful it would be to get this giant pen, with the earth as the inkstone, the sea water as the ink, and the blue sky as the paper." Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a melodious Yue Xian. Five colors of light came out of the pen tip, and then the pen tip opened a bright red flower. The flower pen gradually moved and floated towards him. Li Bai saw the colorful pen of Hua getting closer and closer, so he reached for it. He was awakened when he was about to touch the thick pen. It was a dream. After Li Bai woke up from his dream, he repeatedly recalled the scene in the dream and couldn't figure out where it was. He is determined to visit famous mountains and rivers and find the fairyland of his dreams. Later, Li Bai-yun swam to Huangshan Mountain, saw this flower-planting pen, and suddenly shouted, "The flower-planting pen I saw in my dream is here."

According to legend, since Li Bai saw "a dream gives birth to flowers", famous and beautiful sentences have emerged one after another.

In everyone's mouth.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, there were two men, father and son, both disciples of Confucius. Father Ceng Zhe loves to eat sheep dates (a kind of wild fruit, commonly known as milk persimmon); Zeng Shen is a dutiful son. After his father died, he was reluctant to eat sheep dates. This matter was greatly appreciated by Confucian children at that time.

During the Warring States Period, Sun Chou, a disciple of Mencius, couldn't understand this matter, so he went to his teacher Mencius for advice. Gong Sunchou asked, "Teacher, which is better?"

"Of course it's delicious, no one doesn't like it!" Sun Chou asked again, "Since it's delicious, Zeng Shen's father also likes it? Then why did Zeng Shen not give up eating stir-fry and only eat sheep dates? "

Mencius replied: "Braised pork is what everyone likes to eat; Although mutton jujube is not as delicious as braised jujube, it is Zeng Zhe's favorite food. Therefore, Zeng Shen had to give up eating sheep dates. It's like not calling your elders by their first names instead of their surnames. The last name is the same, but the first name is unique to you. "

Mencius' words made Gongsun Chou understand the truth. Later, people derived the idiom "popular" from Mencius' "popular, the same". Used to describe things that everyone praises and poems that are recited.
