What are the stories about homophones?

The homophonic stories are: Shangshu and Assistant Minister, Cultivation and Shame, a "pot" of wine, the first place and so on.

Among them, Shangshu and Assistant Minister said that Ji Xiaolan and Xiao Shenyang were sworn enemies. Once they meet, most of the time they will dig at each other. The two men have been fighting for years, and each has won or lost.

During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Ji Xiaolan and Xiao Shenyang served as assistant ministers and ministers respectively. One day, two people were eating at the same table, and suddenly a dog walked under the table. Xiao Shenyang turned his eyes round and round, pointed at the dog and asked Ji Xiaolan, "Is it a wolf or a dog?"

Ji Xiaolan a listen to this voice is wrong, he thought for a moment, just a flash of inspiration. He said, "If you look carefully, you will understand that this beast is a wolf with a vertical tail and a dog with a vertical tail." Little Shenyang was speechless and could only stare at it and eat this dumb loss.

"Harmony" is a traditional cultural thought of Han nationality since ancient times, which makes people pay attention to phonological harmony, euphemism and implication in language use. If you want to express something, don't say it directly, but use other language means to achieve "what you say here is what you want to say." Homophony in language reflects this cultural phenomenon. Homophony is the use of homonyms or near homonyms to replace words, so that sentences express double meanings, also known as puns.
