Ji Xiaolan gave the monk a pair of couplets, which contained irony to the monk.

Speaking of Ji Xiaolan, I believe everyone is familiar with it, mainly because the TV series Ji Xiaolan with Iron Teeth and Copper Teeth is so popular that Ji Xiaolan is widely known. The real Ji Xiaolan in history is not as handsome as in TV series, but he is indeed a famous genius in Qing Dynasty.

Ji Xiaolan also made great contributions to later generations. He edited and revised Sikuquanshu, which recorded many ancient books in history, and also wrote an interesting novel Notes of Yuewei Caotang, which shows that Ji Xiaolan has profound academic attainments.

Ji Xiaolan has made great achievements academically, but in his daily life, he often jokes. The real Ji Xiaolan in history, like TV series, likes smoking, so he often jokes.

On one occasion, Emperor Qianlong summoned him temporarily. Ji Xiaolan just took a few sips of cigarettes, but he didn't want to throw them away. So he stuffed his pipe into his boots and went to see the emperor. As a result, his pipe was burning in his boots. Ji Xiaolan endured the pain and hoped that the emperor would end the conversation quickly, but Ji Xiaolan's trouser legs smoked directly.

Emperor Qianlong was frightened. What happened to Braille? Ji Xiaolan replied, "Fire!" So Ganlong told him to put out the fire quickly. From then on, Ji Xiaolan had to walk on crutches for several months, which made people laugh.

On another occasion, Ji Xiaolan visited a temple. The owner of the temple knew his name and invited him to have tea and chat. At first, the master showed the demeanor of a generation of monks, and then he gradually revealed his true colors and his language was vulgar. Like a street hooligan, Ji Xiaolan wanted to leave.

Unexpectedly, the master grabbed him and insisted that he leave a pair of Mo Bao. Ji Xiaolan was dragged helplessly by him and had to follow him, but he didn't like the monk at all. Suddenly he turned supercilious and wrote him a couplet:

Phoenix swims in the shade of grain, birds fly, and horses walk beside reeds.

The owner was very proud when he got Mo Bao. He framed it like a baby and hung it in his room in a very eye-catching place. Ji Xiaolan looked at his master's behavior, smiled strangely and left.

Several years later, a young scholar came to the temple. When he went to see the abbot, he saw the couplet at a glance and laughed. The abbot asked, "How dare you be rude? Are you kidding? "

The young man asked him, "This couplet is very interesting. Who wrote it for you? " The master proudly said that it was written by the great genius Ji Xiaolan. Hearing this, the young man felt even more ridiculous. He said to the monk, "Don't you know that you have been played by Ji Yun?"

When the master looked at this couplet again, he found nothing wrong. The young man looked at the master puzzled and smiled even more happily. In fact, this couplet is a satire on the old monk. Can you see it?

Hint: The word "phoenix" in "Phoenix swims in the grass, birds fly in the shadow, horses walk in the reeds and grass are barren" is the traditional word "giant".
