Who is the "overqualified" in "Overqualified, lamented through the ages, Guan Lotus flows to Asia"
Xin Qiji.

Lu You gave him a long poem, "Writing in the Temple with a Heart". The poem says: Xin Qiji is a first-class figure of Guan Zhong and Xiao He, and he is overqualified as a messenger of peace in eastern Zhejiang. When Xin Qiji arrived in Beijing, the emperor only arranged for him to be the magistrate of Zhenjiang Prefecture. Soon, the patriotic hero died in grief and indignation. Later, people used the idiom "overqualified" to describe high talent and low status.
