It describes extreme anger. Source Zhuangzi - Thieves and Metatarsals: "The thieves and metatarsals were so angry when they heard about it that their eyes were like stars and their hair stood on their crowns."

The Records of the Grand Historian (史记-廉颇蔺相如列传)："Xiangru was furious because he was holding a jade tablet and leaning on a pillar, and his hair went up to his crown."

This piece of jade was discovered by Bian He, a Chu man, during the Spring and Autumn Period, so it was called He Shi Bi. Unexpectedly, this matter was known to King Zhao of Qin, so he tried to take the He Shi Bi for himself.

So he pretended to write a letter to the king of Zhao, saying that he was willing to exchange 15 cities for this piece of jade. The king of Zhao was afraid that the king of Qin was deceitful and did not want to send the He Shi Bi, but he was also afraid that he would send his troops to commit a crime.

After half a day's discussion with his ministers, there was no result. Besides, he could not find a messenger who could improvise and go to Qin to negotiate this matter.

At this moment, someone recommended Lin Xiangru to the king of Zhao, saying that he was brave and resourceful and could go on the mission. The king of Zhao immediately summoned him and first asked him if he could agree to the Qin king's request to exchange 15 cities with Heshi Bi.

Lin Xiangru said, "Qin is strong and we, Zhao, are weak, so this matter cannot be denied." "The king of Qin has got the He Shi Bi, but he refuses to give me the 15 cities, so what should we do?" "The king of Qin has made his wish, and if Zhao does not agree, he is unjustified; and if Zhao gives the king of Qin the biscuits, and he refuses to hand over the cities, then the king of Qin is unjustified.

Comparing the two, I would rather agree to the king of Qin's request and let him bear the responsibility of being unreasonable." In this way, Lin Xiangru took the Heshi Bi with him on his mission to Qin.

When the king of Qin learned of his coming, he did not receive him at court according to the formal etiquette, but very arrogantly summoned Lin Xiangru in three palace rooms where he lived temporarily. When he received the jade, he was very happy and looked at it again and again, and passed it to his right and left ministers and concubines to read.

Lin Xiangru, seeing the king of Qin so contemptuous and rude, had already been very angry, and now seeing that he only passed around and looked at the Heshi Bik, without any intention of delivering the city, went up to him and said, "There is still a little something wrong with the Bik, please let me point it out to the king." As soon as Lin Xiangru got the jade in his hand, he stepped back a few paces and stood close to the pillar.

He was extremely angry, his hair stood straight up, and, tipping his hat, he said impassionedly: "The king of Zhao, after consulting with his ministers, thought that Qin was insatiable, and wanted to cheat the Heshi Bik with empty words, and therefore did not intend to send the Bik to Qin; and, after listening to my advice, fasted for five days, and only then did he send me to deliver it. When I arrived here today, the king did not receive me at court, and when he got the jade annulus, he even handed it to his concubines to pass on and watch, and teased me to my face, so I took it back.

If the king wants to bully me, I would rather bang my head on a pillar with the jadeite and smash it to pieces!" Under these circumstances, the king of Qin could only apologize and promised to fast for five days before accepting the jade. But Lin Xiangru, anticipating that the king of Qin would not hand over the city, privately had the bik sent back to Zhao.

When the king of Qin learned of this, he had no choice but to send Lin Xiangru back to his country according to etiquette. (9) To be a Married Man's Clothes Paraphrase It means to work for others for nothing, but gain nothing for oneself.
