There is also a historical story here. It tells the story of the Ying family and the Wang family in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there were two good friends among the officials in the imperial court. One was Ying Jian, a Taifu (Assistant Minister of the king and teacher of the emperor), and the other was Wang Dao, a prime minister. It is said that there is a beautiful daughter in Yingjian's family. She is 28 years old and her name is Yingjian. Born with talent and good looks, Ying Jianai is the apple of his eye. When a man marries, a woman marries. Of course, teacher Ying knows this, so she wants to find a good wife for her daughter as soon as possible. His colleague, Wang Dao, is a famous family in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. He has many nephews in his family. Mr. Ying wants to be a relative of this family. He gave this idea to Wang Dao, who agreed and said, "we Wang boys, you can choose who is who." With the prime minister's promise, Mr. Ying chose a good time and ordered the housekeeper to bring a gift to Prime Minister Wang Cheng's house to spy on intelligence - or to have a first try. When the prince of the Wang family heard that the Ying family had come to choose their son-in-law, they all dressed up carefully to meet each other, because they had long heard that there was a beautiful and talented woman in the Ying family, Ying Zifang, and they all hoped that they would be chosen. others, this "show" really opened the eyes of the old housekeeper. All the Wang family's children are young talents. If you take any one, you'll be worthy of your own young lady. Later, the housekeeper found that there was a young man in the East Wing room. He didn't dress up deliberately, and he was lying on the bed with his chest bare. When the housekeeper returns to Ying house, he will report everything he saw in the Wang family. After hearing this, teacher Ying's eyes brightened. At the beginning, he made a decision to make the old housekeeper dumbfounded. He wanted to marry his daughter Ying Zifang to the young man with a bare stomach. The young man with a bare stomach is the son of Wang Kuang, the younger brother of Wang Dao. Teacher Ying happily married her daughter into Wang Kuang's family. In those days, this young man with a bare stomach was Wang Xizhi, who later became famous for his calligraphy. As a result, "lingdu" or "dongbed" became the honorific name for his son-in-law. But the appellation of "lingdu" or "dongbed" is generally used to refer to the other party's son-in-law or someone else's son-in-law.
