"Novel" originally contained an article by Yin Yun, a Southern Song Dynasty man, saying: "Guests follow each other, each with his own ambition: he is willing to make Yangzhou history, or he is willing to make more money, or he is willing to ride a crane to rise. One of them said,' I am rich and rode a crane to the state', and I want to have these three things. "
Explain that several people are together, each saying his own ambition. Some say they want to be the secretariat of Yangzhou, some say they want to make a fortune, and some say they want to ride a crane to become immortal. One of them wanted to have it both ways and said, "I want to make a fortune and ride a crane to Yangzhou to take office."
Nowadays, "riding a crane for 100 thousand yuan to ascend the continent" often describes the wishful thinking of some people.
Later, he used "riding a crane in Yangzhou, riding a crane in Yangzhou, riding a crane across Yangzhou, riding a crane in Yangzhou, riding a crane with a golden waist, riding a crane with a rich waist, and being a rich fairy" to refer to being an official, making a fortune, becoming an immortal, or describing greed, delusion, or describing proud things and feelings.
Example: Yu Dafu's "Yangzhou Old Dream Message Hall": "But I want to add a summary to awaken your dream of riding a crane in Yangzhou."
