Idiom story

It is said that after the fall of the Western Zhou Dynasty, doctor Zhou traveled a long way to the capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty. When he saw that the ancestral temples and palaces in the past had become fields full of millet, he felt sad and filled with emotion. So he wrote a poem "Shuli". Later, when Wei Ziqi met the king of Zhou, he passed by the ruins of Yin Dynasty and saw that the palace was destroyed and full of millet. He was very sad and wrote a song "Mai Xiu".
