Secondly, in the middle Tang Dynasty, one winter, a senior official went to pay homage to the ancestral hall and saw a poem written on the wall of the main hall: "Snow drifts for nine days, just like a jade girl descending to Qiong Yao. One day it was sunny, so the broom became a broom and the shovel became a shovel. " The official was furious after reading it and ordered him to be arrested as a poet. The left and right arrested Zhang Dayou, who usually likes to write such poems.

In order to prove whether this poem was written or not, the official did not rush to punish him, but asked Zhang to write another poem. At that time, An Lushan soldiers were trapped in Nanyang County, and Zhang blurted out: "Millions of thieves were trapped in Nanyang, and there was no rescue and no food.

One day, the city was broken, crying for father and mother. "These two poems are exactly the same. After listening to their words, everyone burst into laughter. Even the big officials were made to laugh. In the end, Zhang Dayou survived. Zhang Dayou became famous from then on. Later, people often called this kind of poem limerick, which used slang and common sentences to enter the poem without seeking even words.
