In the Song Dynasty, Su Dongpo, a layman, wrote a poem inviting young people to take a boat from Guazhou in the north of the Yangtze River to the south of the Yangtze River, and presented it to Fo Yin Zen Master of Jinshan Temple for correction. He said: "The sky is in the middle, the light is on it, and the eight winds can't move, sitting on the purple lotus." After the Zen master finished reading it, he immediately approved the word "fart" and asked the extremely boy to take it back. Dongpo saw his great anger and immediately crossed the river to question Fo Yin's Zen master. The Zen master said to him, "From the perspective of poetry, your cultivation is very high. Since the eight winds can't blow, how can we cross the river with a fart? " Dongpo was speechless and lamented that he was not as good as the Zen master.
