Common allusions in historical poems (nostalgic poems);
1. Writing: The Book of the Later Han Dynasty records that Ban Chao was born in poverty and made a living by copying documents for the imperial court. He once lamented that he would follow the example of Fu Jiezi and Zhang Qian to make contributions to the border region and take the title of Marquis. Later, "throwing a pen" meant abandoning literature and joining the army.
2. "The Great Wall: The Biography of Tan Daoji" In the southern history, Tan Daoji was a general in the Southern Dynasties and the Song Dynasty, with great power and was suspected by the monarch and his subjects. Later, Song Wendi took the opportunity to kill him. Tan Daoji was furious: "It's really the Great Wall of Wan Li!" Later, the Great Wall of Wan Li was used to describe the generals guarding the border.
3, Loulan: "Hanshu" contains; King Loulan was greedy for money and killed many China envoys who went to the Western Regions. Later, Fu Jiezi was sent to the Western Regions to behead King Loulan and make contributions to the country. Later, poets often used "Loulan" to refer to the enemy of the border, and "breaking (splitting) Loulan" to refer to making contributions.
4. Bend over: According to Song Shu's Biography of Seclusion, Tao Yuanming once served as the magistrate of Pengze County, but he abandoned his official position and retired because he refused to "bend over to the children in the village for five buckets of rice".

For example, Li Bai wrote in "Sleepwalking in Tianmu Mountain": "Oh, how can I bow and scrape to those high-ranking officials whose sincere faces will never be seen?"
