Once in the meat pit, it is as deep as the sea, and the wallet is a passerby from now on!
Adapted from allusions:
To the maid
Cui Jiao
The prince and grandson followed in their footsteps,
Green beads shed tears and dropped towels.
As soon as Houmen entered the sea,
From then on, Xiao Lang became a passer-by.
A story is recorded in Fan Bian's commentary Yunxi Friendship at the end of Tang Dynasty: the aunt of Cui Jiao, a scholar at the end of Yuan Dynasty, had a beautiful handmaid who fell in love with Cui Xiao, but was later sold to an important person. Cui Jiao was fascinated by it and longed for it. During a cold meal, the maid occasionally went out to meet Cui Jiao. Cui Jiao wrote this song "To a Maid" with mixed feelings. Later, when Yu Yong read this poem, he asked Cui Jiao to accept his handmaid, and spread it in the poetry circle as a much-told story.
