Peng Chong, a great general of the Eastern Han Dynasty, followed Liu Xiu to fight in the world, but he didn't get much attention. He didn't accept Zhu Fu's dispatch and thought of the rebellion. Zhu Fu wrote to him, saying that a Liaohe farmer wanted to go to the emperor because he had a white headed pig, but when he went to Liaodong, he found that there were all white headed pigs, so he had to go back to his home, just like that farmer.

Idioms and allusions

source

In the Southern Dynasty, Song Dynasty, Fan Ye's biography of Zhu Fu in the book of the later Han Dynasty: "in the past, there were boars in the east of Liaoning Province. They gave birth to white heads and offered them differently. When they went to Hedong, they saw that all the boars were white. If the work of the son is discussed in the imperial court, it will be regarded as a boar in Liaodong. "

allusion

Zhu Fu, also known as Shu Yuan, was born in Xiao County, Anhui Province. At the beginning, he was appointed as the commander of the great Sima from Guangwu emperor, and then as a partial general, and he was appointed as the commander of Hebei Province. After the worship of the general led Youzhou mu, stationed in Jicheng. In order to earn his reputation, Zhu Fu was willing to win over local celebrities and old bureaucrats. Peng Chong, his subordinate Yuyang prefect, was extremely opposed to this, while Zhu Fu secretly told the imperial court that Peng Chong deliberately conspired against it. Peng Chong was conceited of his merits. When he knew, he immediately sent troops to attack Zhu Fu. Zhu Fu wrote a letter to retort. When he accused Peng Chong of being proud of his achievements, he said, "you are proud of your achievements and think you are great. In the past, there was a piglet in Liaodong who was born with a white head. The local people thought it strange and presented it to the emperor. Go to the east of the Yellow River, see all the pigs are white, very ashamed to return to Liaodong. If you compare your so-called contribution to the court, it's just a white headed pig in Liaodong. What can you be proud of? " Later, he used "Liaodong pig" to show that he was ignorant, little seen, much strange and pretentious.
