Everyone knows what this means, but few people should know its origin. Today, the mountain owner will tell you the story of "East Bed"! This allusion is related to Wang Xizhi, a great ancient calligrapher. ?
Wang Xizhi is the nephew of Wang Dao, the prime minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. According to the biography of Wang Xizhi in the Book of Jin, Chi Jian had a daughter. At marriageable age, Chi Jian arranged for everyone to go to Wang Dao's house to choose a husband for her daughter. At that time, Wang Dao said to the bearer, "My sons and nephews are in the east wing. Please go there and have a look. " ?
After reading it, the doorman went back and told Taiwei Chi Jian, "The Wangs' children are fine, but I heard that I chose a husband for your daughter, and they immediately fell into danger. Only one person ignored it and continued to sit on the bed in the east with an empty stomach. " Chi Jian was overjoyed and said, "What a good husband and devil!" Later, Ji Jian really married his daughter to Wang Xizhi.
Because of Wang Xizhi's great achievements in calligraphy and his family background, he naturally became the best mate. Therefore, the "son-in-law of the East Bed" became a much-told story for a while, which has been passed down to this day. Until now, Dong Chuang has become synonymous with son-in-law.
