Liangshan collapse

Liangshan collapsed (in present-day Hancheng, Shaanxi, in the territory of Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period). Jin Jinggong summoned his minister Bo Zong. Bo Zong was on his way when he encountered a loaded vehicle blocking the road and ordered him to give way. The driver said, don't wait for me, you can take a shortcut. Bo Zong asked, where are you from? The driver said Jiangcheng (the capital of Jin State).

Bo Zong asked the coachman to talk about Jiangcheng.

The coachman said that Liangshan collapsed and the king wanted to summon Bo Zong.

Bo Zong asked again (concealing his identity) if Bo Zong had any good ideas?

The coachman said that the mountain collapsed due to decayed soil. The country is dominated by mountains and rivers. When landslides and rivers dry up, the monarch has to cut back on food and music, wear plain clothes, ride in cars without colorful paintings, stop playing music, leave the palace, and display gifts to the gods. Taishi will read out the sacrificial rites to worship the gods of mountains and rivers with etiquette. What good solution can he (referring to Bo Zong) have?

Bo Zong conveyed the coachman’s original words to Jin Jinggong.

Jin Jinggong adopted it.

You will surrender, ride on the mandarin, enjoy the music, go out, and give blessings." , the historical words are based on etiquette.
