Grab the mouth of Mud Swallow, sharpen the iron needle, scrape the face of the Buddha and search carefully, but find something in nothingness. Look for peas in quail, lean meat on egrets' legs, and fat and oil in mosquitoes' bellies. Thank you, old man!
Grab the mud from the swallow's mouth, grind the iron on the needle, and scrape the gold on the bodhisattva's face with gold, out of nothing. It's a pity that you can find peas in the throat sac of quail, chop some lean meat on the leg of crane and lick fat and oil in the stomach of mosquito.

Does the prefect of Xuancheng know that a foot of carpet uses two thousand silk? People who don't know the cold should keep warm, take less clothes and make lichens.
"Xuancheng satrap know, a carpet with two thousand silk. I don't know if cold people should be warm, take less clothes and make lichens. " This was written by an anonymous author in the Tang Dynasty. Ironically, the state officials of that era tried their best to offer carpets to the emperor regardless of the affordability of the people. This satrap is working so hard, for what? Another Tang poem commented: "Last year, when we passed this county, people in the county were speechless. This year, Zhu was killed in the county, covered in blood. " I see, the picture is for promotion.
It is said that Bai Juyi wrote The Red Carpet.
