Idiom story

In the spring and Autumn period, Duke mu of Qin had a little daughter who was born to love jade. Duke mu of Qin named her "Nongyu". Because of her free and brilliant nature, Nong Yu likes to play flute and Sheng. Mu Gong loves her so much that he orders the craftsmen to give her the Sheng carved from the jade tribute from the western regions. Since the princess had the Sheng, she is more skillful in playing it. When he was a teenager, he was incomparable in appearance and intelligence. Duke mu of Qin wanted to recruit a prince from a neighboring country as his son-in-law, but he didn't follow the advice of making jade. If he didn't know the music and was not good at playing musical instruments, he would rather not marry. Duke Mu cherished his daughter and had to obey the princess. One night, the princess leaned on the fence to enjoy the moon, expressed her love with Yusheng, and released her nostalgia for spring. At this time, a flurry of Dongxiao and Princess Sheng music sounded. For several nights, Sheng music was like the sound of a dragon and Xiao music like the sound of a Phoenix. The ensemble was just as beautiful as fairy music. The whole Qin palace could hear it, even a hundred miles away. Mu Gong asked why, and the princess said that she wanted to make peace from a far away place. Duke mu of Qin ordered general Meng ming to find the person who blew Xiao. I always found the foot of Huashan Mountain. I heard from the woodcutter that there was a young man named Xiao Shi who lived in seclusion in Mingxing cliff of Zhongfeng mountain. He was good at playing flute, and the sound could be heard for hundreds of miles. Meng Ming's Mingxing cliff brought Xiaoshi back to Qin palace. It was the Mid Autumn Festival. Duke mu of Qin was very happy to see that his Xiao was also made by Meiyu, so he invited the princess. They fell in love at the first sight, and they began to play together. The Golden Dragon and the colorful Phoenix in the hall seemed to dance, and everyone was fascinated by it. They all praised and said, "xianle! After their marriage, they lived in the palace. Xiao Shi taught Xiao Yu to use Xiao to learn Fengming and Xiao Shi to use Sheng to learn Longyin. After more than ten years of learning, they really brought down the Phoenix in the sky and stopped on their roof. Soon the Dragon came to their courtyard. One day, Xiao Shi said: I miss the quiet life in Huashan. Nongyu said: I'd like to go with you to enjoy the purity of the mountains. They play together. For a moment, the Dragon flies and the Phoenix dances, and the auspicious clouds billow. Nongyu rides on the colorful Phoenix, and Xiao Shi steps on the Golden Dragon. In a moment, both the dragon and the Phoenix fly, and both the dragon and the Phoenix soar into the sky, and the dragon and the Phoenix are auspicious! Later, to commemorate the touching story of Nongyu and Xiao Shi, people used "dragon and Phoenix presenting auspiciousness" to describe the faithful love between husband and wife, which was a hundred years of mutual love.
