The origin of Idioms

In preface to Fan Chuan Wen Ji written by Pei Yanhan of the Tang Dynasty, it is said that "although the words of the poets are full of resentment and indignation, they can't make a coherent argument even though they are helpful to the education of the monarchs and ministers; Xiangru and Ziyun are magnificent and devious, they satirize more and less, they are envious and have no return, and they can't control the chaos."

Idiom explanation

There are more allegorical words than essential ones.
