The title "Don't thank Dong Junyi, Dan Qing's independent name" is said to come from Guan Yu's poem and painting "Guan Di Zhu Shi" during the Three Kingdoms period. Original text:
Don't thank Dong Junyi. Danqing is an independent name.
Don't be too lonely and pale, never wither.
Explanation: "Dong Jun" refers to Cao Cao, which means to refuse Cao Cao's kindness to him. "Danqing", originally meaning brush ink painting, is extended to history here, meaning to leave a good reputation of loyalty. "Lonely leaf" refers to Liu Bei, which means that although Liu Bei was defeated, his strength was as weak as a lonely leaf.
Translation: (Cao Gong) I won't politely refuse your kindness to me. I will never change my moral integrity like ink bamboo painted on a painter. Although I am separated from my master Liu Bei, I am as lonely and light as a bamboo leaf, but I can endure cold, heat and frost like a bamboo, and I will never wither (my loyalty to my master will never change).
Extended data:
The hidden poem in the painting "Poems of Guan Di" was originally written by Guan Gong for the sake of expression, expressing Guan Yu's unfortunate capture, but he still refused to yield, remembering the loyalty and courage of his righteous brother Liu Bei, which is memorable to read. According to legend, Guan Di's poems on bamboo were written by Guan Yu when he was in Xudu. Liu Bei's army was defeated by Cao Cao, Guan Yu surrendered, and Cao Cao cherished the generals and stayed in the camp. He also asked the Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty to give him the title of "Hou Ting of Hanshou", and at the same time gave gifts such as gold, silver and beautiful women, and tried every means to make Guan Yu submit.
Guan Yu was unmoved, thinking of becoming sworn brothers with Liu Bei. This is the allusion of "being in the Han Dynasty". Later, Guan Yu knew Liu Bei's backwardness and made up his mind to find Liu Bei. When Guan Yu bid farewell to Cao Cao, Cao Cao was reluctant to leave Guan Yu and pretended to be ill. Guan Yu was helpless, so he had to draw a picture of Dan Qing bamboo, using bamboo as a metaphor for ambition, and drew a Tibetan poem, and asked someone to give it to Cao Cao as a farewell object to show his heart.
With Guan Yu's loyalty to Liu Bei this time, there are vivid and vivid stories such as hanging seals, picking robes on Baling Bridge, riding thousands of miles alone, crossing five customs and beheading six generals, and meeting the ancient city.
