The origin of Idioms

Version 1: the biography of Jiang Yan in southern history written by Li Yanshou of Tang Dynasty shows that Yan Shao's article shows that he has a slight retreat in the late Festival. When Yun was the prefect of Xuancheng, he left and started to park in the temple of Zen spirit. YeMeng called himself Zhang Jingyang, saying: "I sent a piece of brocade in front of him, but I can still see it today." Yantan got a few feet in his arms. The man was angry and said, "all the cuts are done." When Gu saw Qiu Chi, he said, "I can't use this number of feet. I'll leave it to you." I've been writing for a long time. After staying in yeting, Meng Yi's husband called himself Guo Pu and said to Yan, "I have a pen in my office for many years. I can see it back." Yan is to explore the arms of a five color pen to teach. After that, there was no beautiful sentence in the poem, which was called the end of talent. Version 2: at the beginning of the Southern Dynasty, Liang Zhongrong's "poetry · Qi Guanglu Jiang Yan" died in Xuancheng County, so he stayed in yeting and dreamed of a beautiful husband. He called himself Guo Pu and said, "I've had a pen in Qing's office for many years. I can see it back." In the arms of Yan Tan, he was given a five color pen. Later, it was a poem, no more idioms, so it was passed down to the world.

Idioms and allusions

It is said that during the Southern Dynasties, there was a young man named Jiang Yan. He was poor and studied hard. He wrote a good article since he was a child. He was called Jiang Lang. When Jiang Lang wrote poems and articles, he was full of literary thoughts and often had wonderful sentences. He gradually became a famous writer. Jiang Lang was once the prefect of Xuancheng. When he left his post and went home, he stopped at the Zen spirit temple. At night, he dreamed of a man who called himself Zhang Jingyang and said, "I gave you a piece of brocade before, but now it's time to return it to me." Jiang Yan then took out a few feet of brocade from his arms. The man was very angry and said that he cut the brocade quickly. When he was complaining and saw Qiu chi (a scholar at that time) standing beside him, Zhang Jingyang said to Qiu Chi, "I can't do anything with these few feet left. I'll give them to you." Another time, when Jiang Yan was taking a lunch break in the pavilion, he dreamt that a person who called himself Guo Pu said to him, "my pen has been with you for many years. Now it should be returned to me." Jiang Yan immediately touched it in his arms and actually took out a five color pen, so he returned it to Guo PU. After these two strange dreams, Jiang Yan began to write poems, and there were no more famous sayings.

The meaning of Idioms

The legendary "send brocade" and "return pen" are pure dreams. It's better to say that he is "at the end of his life" than "at the end of his talent". Jiang Yan's official position became bigger, divorced from social life and people, and lost inspiration and talent. Without the true feelings in life, the source of writing will be exhausted. As an allusion, it refers to the decline of literary talent's thinking.
