Idiom story

After hearing about Dong Changxian, fan Shixuan asked Jia Qiong for his teeth. Qiong said, "the crown begins." Shi Xuan said, "Oh! It's very young. " Qiong said, "how can master be a teacher in the tenth five year plan. Chen Liu and Wang Xiaoyi are the proud pioneers. However, how old are they? Qiong Wenzhi: virtue is not in the year, and Tao is not in power. " In Wen Zi Zhong Shuo, Volume 9, Li Ming, master fan Xuan heard that Dong Chang was very talented and asked his age. Jia Qiong replied that he had just come of age, and fanshixuan said that when he was young, he was really popular all over the world. Jia Qiong thinks that virtue is not in the year, and Tao is not in power, and uses the story of Wang Xiaoyi and Confucius as a reference. Wang Xiaoyi was older, but he still took Confucius as his teacher and studied with an open mind. This is the origin of "white head north".
