Idioms and allusions

The romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties: Qin Shubao took a fork in the road for his friend Liangli village. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Qin Qiong (zishubao), a hero from Shandong Province, worked as an official in the county government. When the county magistrate received the order from Shangfeng to arrest the "Xiangma" criminals in the territory, he sent Qin Shubao to lead the captors to arrest them. The so-called "Xiangma" refers to the robbers who robbed passengers in the old days. It got its name from the fact that they first fired Xiangjian when robbing. But among the people, these groups who gathered in Xiaoshan forest to rob the rich and help the poor were regarded as the heroes of the grass. Among the friends Qin Shubao made, there are some "Xiangma" heroes. After Qin Shubao received the arrest order from his superior, in order to rescue his friends, he first sent someone to secretly inform the arrested friends to escape; on the way to arrest, he deliberately led the captors to take a detour to protect these "ring horse" friends. Finally, the arrest failed, Qin Shubao was implicated and nearly died. In Dengzhou City, the "Xiangma" Friends of Wagang village in houjuyi worked hard to rescue Qin Shubao, gathered in Wagang village and held the banner of righteousness together. After the death of the Sui Dynasty, Qin Shubao became the founder of the Tang Dynasty. Later, storytellers praised Qin Shubao's long-standing act of helping his friends out of danger. They called the village near the fork Liangli village, which gave rise to the magical story of "Qin Shubao taking the fork for his friends". Storytelling, in the process of folk word of mouth, is an artistic recreation of the masses. In the end, it evolved into "cutting for friends". In order to save his friends, Qin Shubao went to Dengzhou to pretend to be Xiangma. When he passed by Liangli village, he thought of his mother, wife and children at the fork road. He hesitated for a moment. He went to wunanzhuang one way, Dengzhou one way, and home one way. Finally, he went to Dengzhou for his friends. The fork road of Liangli village reflected Qin Qiong's deep loyalty and was passed down by people For "two rib fork road, righteousness forever.". As time goes on, the saying "Qin Shubao takes a fork in the road for his friends" becomes "Qin Shubao takes a knife for his friends".
