During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, Uighur in the Western Regions was a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. On one occasion, in order to show friendship with the Tang Dynasty, Uighur sent an envoy Mian Bogao to visit the Tang King with a batch of rare treasures. Among these tributes, the most precious is a rare bird-the white swan.
Mian Bogao is most worried about this white swan. If something happens to him, how will he tell the king? Therefore, along the way, he personally fed the water and did not dare to neglect it for a moment.
On this day, Mian Bogao came to the Mianyang River and saw the white swan craning its neck, opening its mouth and panting. Mian Bogao couldn't stand it, so he opened the cage, took the white swan to the water, and let it have a good drink. Who knows that the white swan drank enough water, closed its neck and a wing and flew into the sky with a splash! Mian Bogao jumped forward and pulled out only a few feathers, but failed to catch the white swan and watched it fly without a trace. At that time, Mian Bogao stood in a daze for a while with a few white goose feathers in his hand, thinking back and forth about a question in his mind: "What should I do? Tribute? What should I bring to see Emperor Taizong? Go back? How dare you go to see the Uighur king! After careful consideration, Mian Bogao decided to continue his trip to the East. He took out a piece of white silk, carefully wrapped the goose feather, and wrote a poem on the silk book: "Swan salutes the Tang Dynasty, and the mountain is heavy and the road is far. Mianyang River has lost its treasure, so it is difficult to throw it away. Serve the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, confess to Mian Bogao, and send goose feathers thousands of miles away! "
Mian Bogao went to Chang 'an effortlessly with jewels and goose feathers. Emperor Taizong received goose feathers from Mian Bogao and Mian Bogao. Emperor Taizong read this poem and listened to the story of Mian Bogao. Instead of blaming him, he felt that Mian Bogao was loyal and honest and didn't disgrace his mission. Children's fairy tales gave him a reward for sending goose feathers thousands of miles away.

The idiom "Second Venture" comes from a beautiful adult story told by Huayin people and Emperor Yangdi Su Yang.
Zi Tao, who assisted Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, ended the separatist regime, unified the world and established the Sui Dynasty, which made great contributions. He is not only resourceful and talented, but also handsome and charming. It is well-known in both the government and the public.
In the ninth year of Emperor Yangdi's reign (AD 589), Su Yang and Emperor Wendi's two sons were concubines and relatives. Among them, Chen's younger sister Zao Chen is Xu Deyan's wife, and Xu Deyan is Chen's princess Lechang.
Because Su Yang successfully defeated Chen Yougong, and Princess Lechang was extremely talented, Emperor Wendi ordered mandarin ducks at will, sent Princess Lechang to Su Yang's home and gave her a concubine. Su Yang not only admired Princess Lechang's talent, but also coveted Princess Lechang's beauty, so she loved her more and built a house for Princess Lechang. Princess Lechang was unhappy all day and said nothing.
It turned out that Princess Lechang and her husband Xu Deyan met and had a deep friendship. When Chen Guo was dying, Xu Deyan tearfully said to his wife, "The country is in danger, and it is inevitable that you and I will be separated. With your appearance and talent, you will be plundered into a luxurious house after the country breaks down and dies. Our husband and wife meet again after a long separation, and only miss God day and night. If there were eyes in the sky, we would meet one day if we didn't sever our relationship in this life. So we should have a token so that we can meet again in the future. " Say that finish, Xu Deyan split a bronze mirror in half, and each husband and wife hid half. Xu Deyan added, "If you are really taken to the rich man's house, you will take half of your bronze mirror to the market on the 15th day of the first month of next year. If I survive, I will definitely go to the city that day and ask for your news through the bronze mirror. "
A loving couple, when the country was broken, experienced arduous separation, although they escaped the disaster. Very easy to look forward to the fifteenth day of the first month of the second year, Xu Deyan finally went through a lot of hardships to the city street, and saw an old man selling half a bronze mirror, which was too expensive, so he asked. Xu Deyan looked at half a piece of bronze mirror and knew that his wife had fallen, so he couldn't help crying. He didn't dare to neglect, gave the money at the price the old man wanted, and immediately led the old man to his residence. After eating and drinking, Xu Deyan told the old man the story of a broken mirror a year ago and took out the other half of his bronze mirror. Before the two halves of the trembling telegraph bronze mirror were properly matched, Xu Deyan was in tears ... The old mirror seller was deeply moved to tears by his husband and wife. He promised Xu Deyan that he would pass the message between them and let them get together as soon as possible. Xu Deyan wrote a poem by moonlight and asked the old man to bring it to Princess Lechang. The poem wrote:
The mirror goes with people, and the mirror returns to people.
Without the shadow of Chang 'e, the moon would shine in the sky.
Princess Lechang read her husband's poem and thought she would meet him in an air crash. To make matters worse, she looks miserable all the time. After repeated inquiries, Su Yang understood the reason and was deeply moved by their true feelings. He immediately sent someone to call Xu Deyan into the house to reunite them. Princess Lechang saw that Xu Deyan's temples were gray, and Xu Deyan saw that Princess Lechang became a concubine (as a concubine, everything depends on people's faces), which was deeply touched. Su Yang saw this scene and asked Princess Lechang to write poems for this scene, so Princess Lechang sang:
How to move today, new officials versus old officials.
It's hard to be a man if you dare not laugh or cry.
Su Yang was very moved after hearing this, so she decided to become an adult and sent Princess Lechang back to Xu Deyan, and donated money to let them go back to their hometown to support the elderly. Everyone in the mansion marveled at the generosity and maturity of Su Yang, the king of Yue. Gratitude in celebration. After the banquet, the husband and wife returned to their hometown in Jiangnan hand in hand. The story was spread everywhere, so there was a second allusion, which has been passed down to this day.
