allusion

Source Tang Libai's poem "answering the king's twelve cold nights and fishing alone in his heart" says: "when people hear this, they all turn around. It's like the east wind shooting at a horse's ear." How many times did I advise you to come? You should be treated as if the east wind blows on your ears, but others say that I treat my concubine harshly. Today you can save it!
