At that time, he was very talented, and many people praised him, but one of the ministers named Li was unconvinced and thought that his knowledge was not as good as his own. So one day, several dignitaries were invited to write poems in the house. And send someone to invite Jie Jin here, too, trying to join several other dignitaries in taunting him.
Jie Jin came to Li Shangshu's palace and found the door closed. The janitor's servant said that Li Shangshu ordered him to enter through the small door, and Jie Jin stood at the gate, but he just didn't want to enter through the small door. Li Shangshu came over and said loudly, "The little boy is too narrow and has no talent." Jie Jin immediately replied, "Dapeng spreads his wings and hates the sky."
Li Shangshu was surprised. I didn't expect Jie Jin to get offline so soon, so I had to let him in through the gate. However, this has just begun. During the dinner, the dignitaries with Li Shangshu and others deliberately made things difficult for Jie Jin and made many couplets for him. But it didn't bother him.
After three rounds of drinking, Li Shangshu finally came up with a wonderful couplet and decided that Jie Jin would never do well. He proudly said, "Heaven is a chessboard star. Who dares to play?" After listening to it, Jie Jin made a couplet after a little thinking: "There are pipa roads everywhere, which one can play?" When everyone heard this, although this couplet was a bit arrogant, it was simply wonderful.

Ming history says, "man of great talent, go straight ahead." Tong Mingjian: "Only when you meet the sudden high price, you have enough courage to do anything, but you are good at judging whether it is true or not." "I died because I was disrespectful, and I got into trouble because I didn't keep a secret." Jie Jin's character is not bad, but he is too straight, too ostentatious and doesn't know how to converge. Because he was born in a scholarly family, he was called a prodigy because of his cleverness at an early age. Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Jie Jin was impulsive and immature, so he could not be reused.
