【Idiom Story】:

The idiom "come on the way" is a momentary pleasure. Come while the interest is high. The parable came happily.

This idiom comes from the Book of Jin. The Biography of Wang Hui", Hui Zhi said: "This is a good time, and it is all about returning, why do you have to see Andaya?" ”

Wang Huizhi is the third son of Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, who is arrogant by nature, unwilling to be restrained by others, and behaves boldly and unrestrainedly. Although he was an official in the court, he often wandered around and did not deal with the daily affairs of the official office.

Later, he simply resigned from his official position and lived in seclusion in Shanyin (now Shaoxing), traveling in the mountains and rivers every day, drinking and chanting poetry, but he also ended up free.

One winter, it snowed heavily for several days, and one night, the snow stopped. A bright moon appeared in the sky, and the bright moonlight shone on the snow, as if there were dazzling flowers blooming everywhere, white and lovely.

Wang Huizhi pushed open the window and saw the snow all around, which was really beautiful, and immediately asked his family to move out of the tables and chairs, get wine and food, and sit alone in the courtyard and drink slowly. He drank, watched the scenery, recited poetry, and danced with joy.

Suddenly, he felt that this scene and this situation would be even more moving if it could be accompanied by the melodious sound of the piano. From this, he remembered his friend Dai Kui, who could play the piano and paint.

"Hey, why don't I go see him right away?"

So, Wang Huizhi immediately asked the servants to prepare the boat and wave the oars, and went there overnight. I don't think I'm in Shanyin and Dai Kui is in Yanxi, and there is a considerable distance between the two places.

The moonlight shone on the surface of the river, and the water sparkled. The boat moved briskly forward, and the scenery along the way was covered in silver. Wang Huizhi watched such a beautiful night, as if he had entered a fairyland.

"Quick! Fast! Hold the boat up faster! ”。

Wang Huizhi urged the servants, wishing that they could see Dai Kui as soon as possible and enjoy the beautiful scenery together.

The boat traveled all night, and at dawn, it finally arrived at Yanxi. But Wang Huizhi suddenly asked the servant to prop the boat back. The servant was puzzled and asked him in surprise why he didn't go ashore to see Dai Kui. He smiled faintly and said, "I originally came on a whim. Now that the interest is gone, of course you should go back, why do you have to see Dai Kui? ”
