1. The story of Ji Xiaolan's birthday celebration.

Qing Qianlong held a birthday party for his mother in Wang Hanlin and asked Ji Xiaolan to make an impromptu birthday speech. Lao Ji didn't refuse, but blurted out in front of a room full of guests: "This woman is not human." Wang Hanlin was very embarrassed when the old lady heard her face change. Lao Ji unhurriedly read the second sentence: "Nine fairies descended to earth." Suddenly the audience became active and praised, and the old lady turned anger into joy. Lao Ji then read the third sentence: "Give birth to a son to be a thief." All the guests became speechless and joy turned into embarrassment. Lao Ji shouted the fourth sentence: "I stole Xiantao and gave it to my mother." Everyone cheered at once.

2. Jia Dao, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote "Li Ning lives in seclusion": "Living in seclusion with few neighbors leads to no one in the garden. Birds inhabit trees by the pool, and monks push the moon down the door. Walking across this bridge, you can see the charming scenery of Ye Yuan, and the feet of clouds seem to be moving on the floating rocks. Come back here temporarily, and you will realize your words during the quiet period. " Among them, the phrase "a bird stands in a tree by the pool, and a monk pushes the moon down the door" is said to come from riding a donkey on Chang 'an Avenue. Jia Dao repeatedly recited on the donkey's back, trying to change the word "push" to "knock", but he couldn't make up his mind. He felt that the donkey rushed to Han Yu's honor guard, and Han Yu was Jing's man at that time and was brought to Han Yu. Jia Dao explained what had happened, and Han Yu listened, saying that it was better to use the word "knock". This is also the source of allusions that we now use to describe the words in the article.
