Jealousy is a synonym and metaphor for jealousy. It is said that this allusion comes from the court of the Tang Dynasty. In order to win the hearts of the people, Emperor Taizong wanted to marry a concubine for the prime minister. The minister's wife refused to let him do this out of jealousy. Emperor Taizong had no choice but to let the minister's wife choose between drinking poisoned wine and concubinage. I didn't expect Mrs. Fang to be a little strong-willed and would rather die than bow before the emperor. So I picked up the "poisoned wine" and gulped it down. Mrs. Fang finished drinking with tears, only to find that the cup was not poisonous wine, but thick vinegar with sweet and sour taste. Since then, "jealousy" and "jealousy" have become one, and "jealousy" has become a metaphor of jealousy.

In addition, the imperial examination system began in the Sui Dynasty, so there was no such thing as going to Beijing to take the exam before the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

How about we get up and practice swords when we hear chickens crow in the future? " Liu Kun readily agreed. So every day after the rooster crows, he gets up to practice his sword, and the light of the sword flies and the sound of the sword is sonorous. Spring goes to winter, cold goes to summer, and it never stops. Many things happen.
