What is that very, very graphic story called?

What is the first half of the sentence of "courtesy is light and affectionate"?

The first half of the sentence of "courtesy is light and affectionate" is "send goose feathers for thousands of miles", right?

"Thousands of miles to send goose feathers" is an idiom story.

The story of "Sending Goose Feathers for a Thousand Miles" takes place in the Tang Dynasty.

At that time, the leader of an ethnic minority in Yunnan sent a special envoy to contribute swans to Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, in order to show his support for the Tang Dynasty. Swans are also called gray swans, wild geese, and have a popular name called wild geese.

While passing by the Weiyang River, the kind-hearted Myanmar Bogao released the swan from its cage and wanted to give it a bath.

Unexpectedly, the swan spread its wings and flew high into the sky. He hurriedly reached out to catch it, but only pulled a few goose feathers. He was so anxious that he beat his chest and cried.

The attendants advised him (i.e., Membokao): "It has flown away, and it is useless to cry, so let's think of a way to remedy it." When he thought about it, he could only do so.

When he arrived in Chang'an, Mian Bogao met with Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and presented gifts.

Tang Taizong Li Shimin saw that it was a delicate satin bag, so he opened it and saw a few goose feathers and a small poem.

The poem says: "The swan tributes to the Tang Dynasty, and the mountain is high and the road is far away." The Weiyang River lost its treasure and fell to the ground crying. The restoration of the Holy Son of Heaven can spare Burma. The gift is light and affectionate, and goose feathers are sent thousands of miles.

Suddenly, "Tang Taizong Li Shimin was inexplicable and confused.

Can Tang Taizong Li Shimin not be inexplicable and confused?

"What is this?" Tang Taizong Li Shimin wondered very, very much in his heart.

Tang Taizong Li Shimin was very, very puzzled in his heart, so he had to ask Mian Bogao about it.

Mian Bogao then honestly told the truth of the matter.

Tang Taizong Li Shimin had no choice but to say in a loud voice: "It is commendable! It is commendable! Goose feathers are sent thousands of miles, and the courtesy is light and affectionate!"

Can Tang Taizong Li Shimin not say that?

If Tang Taizong Li Shimin was very, very angry because of a small swan, and put this Burmese Bogao to death, that problem would be grand.

What will people say about Tang Taizong Li Shimin? Will it be said that Tang Taizong Li Shimin is very, very petty, has no measure, and is a mediocre emperor?

Look!

How serious are the consequences!?

In order to make people give a good evaluation, Tang Taizong Li Shimin had no choice but to admit it.

It's hard to be a man!

It's hard to be a man!!

It's hard to be a human being!!

Look!

It's not just us little people who are difficult to behave, even like Tang Taizong Li Shimin, it's also difficult to be a man

So this is how the story of "sending goose feathers for thousands of miles, courtesy is light and affectionate" came about.

It is said that it is believed that the story of "giving goose feathers for thousands of miles, giving light gifts and heavy affection" embodies the valuable virtue of honesty of the giver. So today, people use the metaphor of "sending goose feathers for a thousand miles" to give a thin gift, but the affection is unusually strong.

But what about the truth?

The truth of the matter is that at that time, the skills of these birds and animals in long-distance transportation were not very high, and there was no guarantee. As a result, in order to show his support for the Tang Dynasty, the leader of the ethnic minority in Yunnan sent a special envoy to contribute a swan to Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and the swan died on the way. (Because the minority in Yunnan contributed swans, the following is used in Yunnan for the swan tribe to replace the minority in Yunnan) The Yunnan swan tribe has no experience in long-distance transportation of birds and animals, so they think that this swan is not so easy to die. Therefore, in order to show that swans are very, very rare, very, very rare, the leader of the Yunnan swan tribe just let people select a swan with a particularly beautiful coat color from thousands of swans, and asked the special envoy Meng Bogao to take a group of people to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty at that time, Tang Taizong Li Shimin. "Doesn't the Han people have a saying, 'Rare things are precious'?" the leader of the Yunnan Swan Clan thought in his heart, "Although swans may be scarce in other places, but there are many of them here (where the Swan Clan lives), not to mention all over the mountains, but a large flock of swans. Thus appearing precious. It is said that swans may be rare in other places, but there are many near the places where the swan people live in Yunnan. And although in other parts of our country, there is a saying that "toads want to eat swan meat". "Toad wants to eat swan meat" means to describe some people who are delusional and want to get something that they simply can't get. But in the swan family, it is not uncommon to eat swan meat, and even in the swan family, people eat swan meat, and think that swan meat is not delicious, it is said that swan meat has more bones and less meat. It's really "more popular than people......。 Therefore, under the self-righteousness of the leader of the swan tribe in Yunnan, the special envoy of the swan tribe in Yunnan, Meng Bogao, took a swan selected by thousands of people and embarked on the road of "offering treasure" to contribute swans to Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Just such a swan, is it true, real, and unfalse "things are rare and precious", right? But who knows the way? Who knows the way? This swan is really not raised by man (in fact, it is born) (but this swan really does not seem to be raised by man?). This swan's ideological consciousness is really too low and too low! This swan is not aware of the change in his status at all. This swan didn't know that he had been upgraded, from an ordinary swan who was eaten by the people in the swan tribe in Yunnan and thought that the swan meat was not delicious, to a precious treasure-level strange beast that "rare things are expensive". If there is a person among the people of the swan tribe in Yunnan who can communicate with the swan, and do ideological work with this swan, such as "For the sake of the people and the party, you must persevere!" Maybe this swan knows that it has a heavy responsibility, or it will give full play to its potential, and support it until at least it meets with Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and then returns to the West. It is precisely because this swan is neither aware of the change in his status nor aware of his heavy responsibilities that this swan does not have the slightest resistance to the call of death, so this swan dies happily. The name of the place where the swan died is called the Chuyang River. The Weiyang River is far away from the place of residence of the swan people in Yunnan, and there is still some distance from the capital of the Tang Dynasty. The swan died a happy death. However, the people who came to "offer treasures" to the Yunnan Swan Clan were very, very unhappy in their hearts! Yunnan's special envoy for the Swan Clan, Mian Bo Gao, was so angry that he was about to enter the Weiyang River and was ready to be neighbors with the river god in the Weiyang River. Although the special envoy of the Swan Clan in Yunnan, Min Bogao, was not able to enter the Weiyang River because of chance, he did not succeed in becoming neighbors with the river god in the Weiyang River. However, the special envoy of the Yunnan Swan Clan, Meng Bogao, was pale and gray. It can't be blamed that the special envoy of the Swan Clan in Yunnan has too low psychological endurance. It is because this matter has the greatest relationship, and this matter is related to whether the relationship between the Yunnan Swan Clan and the Tang Dynasty is friendly or hostile. If the Tang Dynasty launched a war against the Swan Tribes in Yunnan because of this incident, the special envoy of the Swan Tribes in Yunnan, Min Bogao, would be dead. And it's a coincidence, if the place where this swan died is not far from the place where the swan people live in Yunnan, then it's good to go back and catch a few more swans (after experience, they will naturally learn to behave). The place where the swan died was returned to Yunnan for the swan clan to live, and Yunnan caught a few more swans and couldn't catch up. For what?
