Idiom story

During the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, Han Hong (Yi Zuoyi), a poet, detained Chang'an and became friendly with Li Sheng. Li Zhiai, Ji Liushi, is "gorgeous for a while, fond of banter and praise", and admires Hong's talent, which is of great significance. Li Sheng then generously presented Liu to Hong, and helped him get married. In the following year, Hong ascended the throne and returned to Changli to visit his relatives, leaving Liu in Chang'an temporarily. During the an Shi rebellion, the two capitals were occupied. In order to avoid the disaster of soldiers, Liu cut his hair to destroy his shape and lived in faling temple. Shi Hong has been appointed secretary by Zizhou governor Hou Xiyi. As soon as suzong regained Chang'an, Hong sent an envoy to visit Liu secretly. He brought a bag of broken gold and wrote this poem Zhang Tai Liu as a gift. Liu Pengjin sobbed and gave this song "yangliuzhi". But before long, Liu was robbed by Sha zhali, the general of the government, to return to the second place. It is known that he Hong followed Xi Yi to the capital, but Su Zong ordered Liu GUI Hong to be cut off, and the couple finally got reunited. (it is recorded in Meng Xun's "the poem of ability · emotion I" and "Taiping Guangji · biography of Liu Shi"). Therefore, the name of "pailiu" should refer to Liu's family. Liu's family was already unclean in ancient times, so it was called "pailiu".
