Idiom story

Chunyu Kun was a famous scholar in Jixia Academy of Qi state during the Warring States period. He was eloquent and witty. He had sent envoys to vassal states on behalf of Qi State for many times, but he was never ignored and humiliated. At that time, the state of Qi was the king of Qi Wei in power. He enjoyed feasting all night, indulged in pleasure and ignored political affairs. All countries took the opportunity to invade, and the country was in danger. One day, King Wei of Qi set up a banquet in the back palace to invite Chunyu Kun to drink. King Wei asked, "how much wine can you drink before you get drunk, sir?" Chunyu Kun replied, "I get drunk even if I drink a Dou, and I get drunk even if I drink a stone." The king of Qi Wei asked again: "Sir, you will get drunk after a drink. How can you drink a stone? Can you tell me the truth? " Chunyu Kun said: "I was very afraid to drink in front of the king. I got drunk after a fight. If my father has a distinguished guest at home, I will serve wine and rice in front of the table. The guests often reward me with the leftover wine, and I will get drunk after less than two drinks. If old friends meet again after a long time, they will get drunk after drinking five or six duels. If there is a party in the countryside, men and women sit together, go on a tour, drink wine, persuade people to drink, guess boxing, shake hands without punishment, convey affection between eyes and eyes without prohibition, there are falling earrings in front of them and lost hairpins behind them. I like this sentiment in my heart. I only get two or three points drunk after drinking eight duels. In the evening, some of the guests dispersed. So men and women together, sit on the knee, shoes mixed together. The cups and plates on the table were placed in disorder. The lights in the hall went out, and the host left me to send the guests away. Woman's skirt has been opened, vaguely can smell the aroma, at this time my heart is the happiest, can drink a stone wine. So: drinking too much wine is prone to trouble, joy to the extreme will feel sad. All things are like this. " Chunyu Kun admonished the king of Qi Wei with his own experience. The king of Qi Wei was awakened and deeply felt the goodness of Chunyu Kun's words Since then, the practice of drinking all night has stopped. Qi's economy has developed rapidly by devoting energy to governing the country and carrying out all-round reform. King Wei of Qi also became a promising monarch. The idiom "happiness leads to sorrow" is also derived from this. It is used to describe that when happiness reaches the extreme, it will turn into sorrow.
