2. Allusions of the Eight Fighters:
Xie Lingyun, a famous writer in the Southern Dynasties, was brilliant, and his poems and songs were considered as the masterpieces of his time. Xie Lingyun is conceited himself. He once said: "There are stones in the world, and Cao Zhicai is unparalleled. He played eight games alone, and I played one. The rest of the world is fighting again. " In the end, however, Xie Lingyun was killed because he was arrogant and despised the outline.
"Eight fights" is a metaphor used by Xie Lingyun, a poet of the Southern Dynasties, in praising Cao Zhi, a poet of the Wei Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms. He said, "There is only one stone in the world, and Cao Zijian (Cao Zhi) monopolizes eight fights. I have to fight, and the world is divided into one battle. " It seems that Xie Lingyun is also quite conceited about his talent. Later, people compared the idiom "gifted scholar and beautiful woman" to a person with brilliant literary talent.
Li Shangyin, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote in the poem "Alas": "Fu Fei was worried about sitting in the pavilion of knowing heaven and exhausted his eight talents." This poem borrows the allusions of "talented people and beautiful women".
Modern language should be: "You are so talented".
This allusion was recorded in History of Chang Tan, which was anonymous in Song Dynasty.
