The story of Idioms

During the northern and Southern Dynasties, Gao Yan, the third son of Emperor Wu Cheng Gao Zhan, was granted the title of King Langya. He attempted to usurp the power of the emperor. Later, Gao Wei sent troops to capture Gao Yan. Later, Gao Yan was caught by a general. When he was escorted to the front of Houzhu, the general pleaded for Gao Yan and said: the king of Langxie was young and full of intestines and brains. He took actions lightly. When he grew up, he would never be able to forgive his sins. Later, the Lord released Gao Yan at that time, and then killed him with a plan. this idiom was later changed to describe obesity.
