The origin of Idioms

Liu Yiqing's Shi Shuo Xin Yu Wen Xue in the Southern Song Dynasty: "Yin Jingzhou once asked Yuan Gong," what is the style of Yi? " The answer is: "the book of changes takes feeling as its body." Yin said, "the Tongshan mountain collapses to the west, and the Lingzhong responds to the East. Is that the book of changes?" Liu Xiao quoted the biography of Dongfang Shuo: "when Emperor Xiaowu was emperor, the bell in the front hall of Weiyang palace was ringing for three days and three nights without any reason. The imperial edict asked the Grand Historian to wait for Wang Shuo. Shuo said that he was afraid of military strength. When asked Dongfang Shuo, Shuo said, "when I heard about the copper, I was the son of the mountain, and the mountain was the mother of the copper. In terms of yin and Yang, the son and mother felt each other, and the mountain was afraid of collapse and relaxation, so the bell sounded first. The book of changes says, "the crane is singing in Yin, and its son is in harmony with it." The essence is the best. It should be within the next five days. " After living for three days, the prefect of Nanjun wrote that the mountain collapsed, stretching over 20 Li. "
