According to the records of Wei's spring and Autumn Annals, "Kong Rong slandered Sun Quan's envoy and abandoned the city." His children were indifferent to the emergency.

People use it as a metaphor to describe the disaster of exterminating the family, which is not spared; later, it generally means that the whole thing is destroyed, and the individual can not be saved. Kong Rong was arrested, and both inside and outside the court were frightened. At that time, Kong Rong's son was only nine years old and eight years old. The two children were still playing nail carving, and they didn't look scared at all. Kong Rong said to the emissary who came to arrest him: "I hope the punishment is limited to myself.

Immediately, the envoy to arrest the two sons arrived. (1) Kong Rong, a writer in the late Han Dynasty, was born in the state of Lu (now Qufu, Shandong Province). He is a man of talent. His prose was sharp and concise, with many sarcastic remarks. Later, he was killed for offending Cao Cao. Received: arrested by Cao Cao. It means that Cao Cao's general Xia Houdun was defeated by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, and Cao Cao was ready to send 500000 troops to Xinye (now the south of Xinye County, Henan Province) to fight Liu Bei again. Kong Rong was dissatisfied with this and said that Cao Cao was unreasonable. How could he not fail to attack the most reasonable people! When Cao Cao knew about it, he thought of Kong Rong's repeated attacks and satirical remarks in the past, and ordered Ting Wei (the official in charge of criminal cases) to arrest Kong Rong.

This analogy by Kong Rong's son shows that if the father is arrested, the son must be implicated, which is common in feudal society. the idiom "there is no complete egg under the nest", which is similar in meaning and comes from this story.
