It comes from Ci Yun Xie Liu Zhong Xing Hui bamboo shoots by Zhu Xi of Song Dynasty.
Idiom usage
As an object and attribute, it refers to the style of poetry and literature, which makes it more sad, but its spirit is still strong, so it can be different from ~, but far away from the sour vegetable shoots. (Volume 3 of Du Shi Yan Zhi by Wu Mingshi in Qing Dynasty)
