Idiom story:
It's steam at night, some people say it's dew, others say it gets up in the middle of the night in summer.
For example, there is a saying in the Biography of Chu Ci and Chu Nan that "rice is drunk with six qi", and Wang Yi notes: "There is cold at night." The biography of Han Sima Xiangru says: "Breathe the morning glow", but it should be noted that: "Breathe the morning glow in the middle of the night in the north." The fairy tale of Yoko Ling, the immortal described in Liexian Biography, also said: "Sunglow is eaten in spring, but in summer." It can be seen that the word "collusion" is not a derogatory term at first, but later as an idiom "collusion", it is not a commendatory term. This should start from a story in the Tang Dynasty.
It is said that in Tang Xizong, there was an official named Cui Ling, who used to be "assistant minister of Chinese books". In two years, he was appointed as the examiner who presided over the imperial examination. Among the candidates this time, there is a person named Choe Yun who took office as an official as soon as he was admitted. When others see that he is not only prosperous in official career, but also has excellent official position and obviously different treatment, they can't help wondering: "Cui Ling and Cui Ling have a special relationship?" Someone further concluded: "Of course, just look at their names!" The playful also ridiculed: "Master and apprentice are in cahoots."
This story contains The New Theory of Chu Ci compiled by Qian Yi, a Song Dynasty.
The so-called "host" is the examiner. In the imperial examination era, candidates called examiners "masters" and called themselves "students". Because of the above story, "collusion" later became an idiom to describe people with the same smell colluding with each other.
