Pushing comes from an allusion. The original sentence is: "The bird stayed in the tree beside the pond, and the monk pushed the door under the moon."
Pushing: Pushing the object outward or forward with the hand to move the object ; Knock: From high to low. phonetic. From sighing, loudly. 洴, pū, light blow. It looks like hitting lightly with a stick.
Changing "push" to "knock" is because typing has a sound, which can better highlight the quiet feeling of the surrounding environment.
The word "examination" comes from Jia Dao, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, in his "Poetry Talk".
Original text of the work:
When Dao first went to the imperial examination, he was in the capital. One day while sitting on the donkey, I came across a sentence: "The bird is staying in the tree by the pond, and the monk is knocking on the door under the moon." I started to write the word "push", and then I wanted to write the word "knock", but I was not sure how to refine it, so I chanted on the donkey Oh, lead your hand. The viewer is surprised by the power of speculation. At that time, the Han Dynasty retreated to Jingzhao Yin, and the chariots and riders came out. The island did not feel that it was only in the third quarter that the gesture was not over. Russia supported Yin Qian from the left and right. In the poem he received, the word "push" or "knock" was undecided. His mind was wandering and he didn't know how to avoid it. After retreating, he immediately rode his horse and said to the island: "The word 'knock' is better." Then he took the bridle and returned, and he discussed poetry and Tao. He stayed for many days because he and the island were friends of commoners.
Translation of the work:
Jia Dao took the imperial examination in the capital for the first time. One day, he thought of two poems on the back of a donkey: "The bird stayed in the tree beside the pond, and the monk knocked on the door under the moon." At first he wanted to use the word "push", and then he wanted to use the word "knock". After thinking about it, he couldn't decide. He chanted on the donkey's back and stretched out his hands to push and knock. Everyone who saw it was surprised. At that time, Han Yu temporarily acted as Jing Zhaoyin (the governor of the capital). He was on a patrol with his carriages and horses. Jia Dao unknowingly bumped into the third part of Han Yu's honor guard and kept making careful gestures. So he was suddenly pushed in front of Han Yu by Han Yu's attendants. Jia Dao answered in detail that he was preparing a poem. He was not sure whether to use the word "push" or "knock". He was so lost in thought that he forgot to avoid it. Han Yu stopped the carriage and thought for a long time, and said to Jia Dao: "It's better to use the word 'knock'." So the two of them rode horses and donkeys home side by side, and talked about the method of composing poems together (they stayed for several days to talk about composing poems). I couldn't bear to leave for several days. As a result, Han Yu became good friends with Jia Dao, an ordinary citizen.
