Detailed explanation
origin
In the biographies of Boyi, volume 61 of records of the historian, it is said that "the name of a gentleman who died of illness is unknown." Jia Zi said: "greedy for wealth, martyrs for fame, boast of death power, common people Feng Sheng.". "Look at each other in the same light and seek for the same kind". "Clouds from the dragon, wind from the tiger, sage and everything beautiful.". "Although Boyi and Shuqi are virtuous, they are well-known for their master. Although Yan Yuan was very studious, he was able to follow his horse. People in the cave, sometimes like this, can't be named because of the class name. I'm sorry! People in Lu Lane, who want to be famous, are not those who are attached to Qingyun. Can evil be done to later generations?
translation
Confucius said, "what a moral person fears most is that his reputation will not be publicized after death." Jia Yi said: "greedy people lose their lives for money, heroic people die for fame, and conceited people die for power. Ordinary people cherish their lives." Qiangua in the book of changes says: "things of the same brightness reflect each other, while things of the same kind should seek each other.". "The cloud follows the dragon, the wind follows the tiger, the sage appears, and everything attracts people's attention." Although Boyi and Shuqi were sages, they were more famous because of Confucius' praise. Although Yan Yuan was devoted to learning, his virtue became more and more obvious because he followed Confucius. It's a sad thing for those who live in seclusion in the cave to have such a standard of choice. These people's names are drowned and not praised! Ordinary people in the folk want to sharpen their virtue and build up their reputation. If they don't attach themselves to the people with high reputation and status, how can they remain famous in the future?
interpretation
Sima Zhen Suoyin: "according to: flies attach to the tail of the steed and reach thousands of miles, for example, Yan Hui is famous for Confucius." Mosquitoes and flies attached to the tail of a horse can travel thousands of miles. Later, he used the metaphor of "attached to the end of the horse" to describe becoming famous after being attached to the ancestors or celebrities. Later, it is often used as a formula of self modesty. It is also called "Fu Wei" and "Fu Ji".
Examples of allusion
Wang Bao's "four sons talk about virtue" said: "the tail of a steed can travel thousands of miles, while climbing the Honghe can soar all over the world."

" The poem "from the king of Linhai to Jingchu to Xinzhu" written by BaoZhao of Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty: "pull the Dragon without waiting for the wings, and attach the steed to the end of the world."
