Portrait of Xu Wei
During the Jiaqing period of the Ming Dynasty, an old rich man called Gou Jian, who showed no mercy to others. In his opinion, money is the most important thing. In February this year 10, the county magistrate's family was in double happiness. One is the birthday of the county magistrate and the other is the birthday of the son of the county magistrate. In order to get the protection of the county magistrate, the old rich man intends to take this opportunity to present a gift.
Shu's main goal is to hear that the county magistrate likes reading and writing, so he plans to send a gift with rich books. Finally, I wanted to send a pair of couplets to the county magistrate, but the old rich man didn't read the book, so he couldn't. Therefore, I'm going to find the famous wit Xu Wei.
However, Xu Wei hated the old rich man and came up with a way. Xu Wei quickly agreed to the old rich man's request. Finally, in the happy days of the county grandfather's family, the old rich man brought gifts to invite the county grandfather. Unexpectedly, the county magistrate ordered Jardine Matheson to see the old rich man. The old rich man didn't know why he hit him. I didn't know it was a couplet until I asked.
The old rich man sued the magistrate, who ordered Xu Wei to be taken down. Xu Wei explained: "The old rich man is in a hurry. He took the couplet away before I finished it. " The magistrate didn't quite believe Xu Wei's words, so he had to let Xu Wei finish the couplet. The couplet was originally written like this:' The magistrate is not a person, and the adopted son is a thief'. Everything changed after Xu Wei finished writing. "The county magistrate is not a person, but the birthday girl of Nanshan. An adopted son is a thief and steals flat peaches for his father. " People praised Xu Wei's talent, so the old rich man had to go back in despair. We can see Xu Wei's cleverness from this story.

In the Song Dynasty, the true colors were brought into the field of literary criticism. There was a man named Tang Shunzhi in the Ming Dynasty. He believes that his true colors are written directly on his chest, and flaws can't cover up his true colors. Xu Wei's understanding of True Color was directly influenced by Tang Shunzhi.
