Homophone story

Xie Jin (1369-1415 AD), courtesy name Dashen, was born in Jishui County, Jiangxi Province in the Ming Dynasty. He was a Jinshi during the Hongwu period and was known as Xie Xueshi. He was able to recite poems and compose poems at the age of 6 and was a famous child prodigy at that time. There was a retired Cao Shangshu nearby who was very jealous of him. One day, Cao Shangshu invited Xiao Jiejin to his home to confront him. Cao Shangshu specially created a "pun pair" (also known as an ambiguous couplet), which is a sentence that sounds like one meaning but has another meaning. The first couplet read out by Cao Shangshu is:

Plant bamboos in front of the court to produce bamboo shoots.

Xie Jin immediately responded and said: Plant flowers and branches behind the temple.

Cao Shangshu saw him coming out and said with a smile: "The meaning of this couplet is that the bamboos planted in front of the courtyard will grow bamboo shoots first." Xie Jin also smiled and replied: " This second couplet means that the flowers planted behind the temple have grown old branches. Isn’t that true?”

After hearing this, Cao Shangshu thought for a while and then said: “There is something else in this first couplet. The explanation was that the bamboo in front of the court was not growing well and it was Mr. Wang who damaged it. Therefore, "The bamboo planted in front of the court was damaged by Mr."

Seeing what Cao Shangshu said, Xie Jin answered him. : "My second line also has another explanation, which is that the flowers carried behind the temple were blown down by the wind, and the elders in the temple used sticks to prop up the flowers, which is called 'the elder's branch planting flowers behind the temple'."

When Cao Shangshu heard this, he added: "This couplet also has a third meaning. It means that the bamboos in front of the court are not growing well. The gentleman complained, which means 'the bamboo planted in front of the court will be damaged.'"

Jie Jin was still not stumped, and he replied calmly: "The second couplet is also very particular. It talks about planting flowers behind the temple. The young monk went to tell the elder. The elder said that he already knew it. It's "the elders who plant flowers behind the temple know it."

Cao Shangshu saw that the changes could not faze Xie Jin, so he had to admit defeat and praised Xie Jin endlessly.

Ji Xiaolan cleverly scolded He Shen

When Ji Xiaolan was the minister, He Shen was the minister. One time, the two of them drank together with a censor. During the dinner, Heshen pointed to a dog and asked Ji Xiaolan: "Is it a wolf (the minister) or a dog?" Ji Xiaolan was very alert and heard that Heshen was insulting him through the homophonic pronunciation, and immediately replied calmly: "The vertical tail is a wolf, and the vertical tail is a wolf. (Shang Shu) It's a dog." The censor who wanted to please Heshen also heard the trick, but deliberately said: "It's a wolf or a dog, I understand." Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaolan understood the censor's intention and responded calmly. He said: "There is another difference. The wolf's habit is to eat meat, the dog's habit is to eat whatever it encounters, and it eats shit when it encounters shit (the censor)." Heshen and the censor were in a state of embarrassment.

Ji Xiaolan teased (ye yu) Heshen

It is said that Heshen built a pavilion and asked Ji Yun to write a banner. Ji Yun wrote two big characters "bamboo bud" with a brush. Bamboo buds, also known as bamboo shoots, come from the "Book of Songs" and describe things springing out of the ground like bamboo shoots after a rain. He Shen thought, this means that I can prosper in my official career, so he was very happy. Later, Qianlong visited and saw the big characters on the pavilion. He laughed and asked who inscribed it. He Shen was stunned and answered Ji Xiaolan. Qianlong said that when "bamboo" is opened, it is "one by one", and when "bamboo" is opened, it is "straw bag". Ji Xiaolan is calling your family "all idiots"!

Wang Xizhi wisely resolved the blackmail case

When Wang Xizhi was appointed as the prefect, he received a petition from a villager saying that a certain squire gave him a small piece of wasteland to bury his father, stating that all he wanted was a "jug" of wine , but afterwards insisted on giving him a "lake" of wine. Wang Xizhi then visited the squire's home. The squire had long admired his name and wanted to ask for calligraphy treasures, so he entertained him warmly. Wang Xizhi wrote "The Biography of Le Yi" to him. The squire was overjoyed and asked what kind of gift he would give as a thank you. Wang Xizhi said smoothly: "Just a live goose." The squire immediately brought a live goose to the government office, but Wang Xizhi's face sank and said: "We agreed that it would be a river goose, why did we only send one?" It turned out that "live" and "river" in the local dialect have the same pronunciation. The squire hurriedly defended: "Sir, geese are counted by four, never by rivers!" Wang Xizhi sneered, took out the villagers' memorandum and said: "Since geese are counted by geese, does wine count by lakes?" If you take care of yourself, you have to admit your mistake.

Cleverly use the word "win" to solve the mystery

Legend has it that a guest checked into an inn and a hundred taels of silver disappeared.

He lived in a single room, and based on various signs, it was determined that the owner of the store had stolen it. So he went to the county government office to complain, but the store owner refused to admit it. The magistrate of this county was very smart. After thinking for a moment, he calmly asked the shop owner to stretch out his hand, wrote the word "win" on his palm with a pen, and said: "Go down the steps to bask in the sun. If If the words are still there for a long time, you will win the case." Then, the county magistrate asked someone to bring the boss's wife, who was confused when she saw her husband stretching out his hands to bask in the sun at the foot of the steps. The county magistrate said to the landlady: "Your husband has admitted that he stole the money, and I want you to hand it over honestly." After hearing this, the landlady was hesitant and did not dare to ask her husband. At this moment, the county magistrate suddenly shouted to the boss at the foot of the steps: "Is the word 'win' in your hand still there?" The boss replied repeatedly: "Yes! Yes!" Because of the word "win" and "yin" The sound was so close that the guilty-minded landlady didn't hear it clearly and thought her husband had really admitted that the "money" was still there, so she had to obediently hand over the guest's hundred taels of silver
