Jingzhong, the prince Wan of the state of Chen in the spring and Autumn period, is a brother to Duke Xuan of Chen. Chen Xuangong killed his eldest son, yukou, in order to make his son, who was born to Chongji, Prince. Jing Zhong was on the side of the imperial invaders, so he couldn't get a foothold in Chen Guoan, so he went to Qi. Duke Huan of Qi received Jing Zhong respectfully and worshipped him as "Qing". Jingzhong said modestly, "I'm a guest to your country. I'm very grateful for your acceptance and letting me live here comfortably. How dare I be a minister and make people laugh that I'm not satisfied!" Duke Huan of Qi thought that he understood the truth very well, so he was hired as "Gongzheng" and asked him to take the post of managing various craftsmen. But his treatment is still different from that of ordinary officials. Duke Huan of Qi often talked and played with him. Once, Duke Huan of Qi went to Jingzhong's house, and Jingzhong took out wine to entertain him. Duke Huan was very happy. Until it was almost dark, he told him to light a light and continue to drink. Jing Zhong gently dissuaded him and said: "I dare not to predict the day and the night! (I'm only going to play with you during the day, but I don't plan to continue until the night. I'm afraid I can't stay with you for a long time.)
