Historical allusions about the Zhou Dynasty

The allusion of "Jueying" comes from Liu Xiang's "On Fu Yuanen" in Han Dynasty.

In 605 BC, Chu Zhuangwang put down the rebellion and was very happy. He sent his troops back to Korea and held a grand celebration party and banquet in the palace. King Zhuang thinks that his ministers can drink as much as they like. In the evening, I haven't finished drinking. King Zhuang ordered the candles to be lit and the carnival continued. King Zhuang was very happy to see the ministers, so he asked his beloved Princess Jixu to propose a toast to everyone. Ji Xu is very beautiful, and coming out to toast everyone adds a bit of cheerful atmosphere to everyone. Just as she gave everyone a toast, a strong wind blew out all the candles in the hall. Someone grabbed Ji Xu's sleeve and tried to flirt with her. Ji Xu is very clever. She didn't tell anyone, but she took the opportunity to tear off the tassel on the man's hat and asked Zhuang Wang to find out the man and deal with him later. After hearing this, Wang Zengda said loudly that everyone should enjoy drinking at the party today and take off their hats and tassels. After the ministers took off their hats and tassels, King Zhuang ordered the candles to be lit. Ji Xu was very surprised by this. After the meeting, Ji Xu complained that Zhuang Wang didn't take it out on her. King Zhuang said with a smile, "Everyone is happy. Now some people are excusable for being rude after drinking. If you kill the hero for this matter, it will make the patriotic soldiers chilling and the people will no longer try their best for Chu. Have to admire Chu's thoughtfulness. "

Later, Chu Zhuangwang personally led an army to attack Zheng, only to be ambushed by Zheng. At this critical juncture, Tang Qian, deputy commander of Chujun, rushed into the encirclement alone and rescued Chu Zhuangwang. King Zhuang rewarded Tang Qian, but Tang Qian politely declined to say, "At the farewell party, it was the minister who pulled Ji Xu's sleeve. He thanked King Zhuang for not killing him, so he gave his life today." Zhuang Wang was deeply touched after hearing this.

Later, people used this allusion to show magnanimity, and it was used in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Cao Zhi's Seeking a Self-test Table: "I was spared when I stole the horse, and Chu and Zhao helped me."
