story

Zhou Ze, the official in charge of temple etiquette, set an example and often slept in zhaigong after fasting. His wife pitied him for his age and illness and came to visit her husband. Unexpectedly, when Zhou Ze saw his wife, instead of thanking her for her sympathy, he was furious and sent her to prison in the name of violating the fasting ban. People at that time sympathized with Zhou Ze's wife's experience and wrote a poem to express this sympathy: "life is not harmonious. I am a wife too often. I am 360 days old, and I fast on 359 days. A day without fasting is like mud. " It means that Zhou's wife's life is not good. After she married Taichang Zhou Ze, she fasted for 360 days a year, 359 days a year. There was another day when she didn't fast, but she was drunk. Zhou's wife was a widow.
