Idioms and their stories

In the Song Dynasty in China, there was a story in Shao Bowen's Lu Wenjian: Wen Yanbo heard that Ji Li was very arrogant and unhappy. He said to people, "Ji Li's father used to be my master, so he should be my junior by seniority. He is so arrogant that I have to teach him a lesson. " On one occasion, Wen Yanbo was stationed in Beijing. When Ji Li heard about this, he came to offer his condolences. Wen Yanbo deliberately let Ji Li sit in the living room, and it took a long time to come out to meet him. After meeting Ji Li, Wen Yanbo said, "Your father is my friend. Please make eight obeisances to me." Due to his junior qualifications, Ji Li dared not expect anything, so he had to make eight obeisances to Wen Yanbo. Wen Yanbo lost Ji Li's pride as an elder. The idiom "Eight Worship Friends" came into being. Later, people used "eight sworn brothers friendship" to express the courtesy of two generations of friendly disciples when they met each other's elders. In the old days, they were also called sworn brothers with different surnames.
