According to legend, there were six literati who wanted to tease Xu Wenchang Xu Wenchang said a wine order is what

The Ming Dynasty Shaoxing scholar Xu Wenchang was smart and talented since childhood. One day, he was drinking with six of his literary friends. These six people had discussed beforehand to tease him. Under their arrangement, a **** set out six dishes, and according to the age of the wine orders. Each drinking order had to tell an allusion, and if it was related to the dishes on the table, the dish could be taken and eaten; if not, the dish could not be eaten.

After the appointment, the order officer (the oldest) said, "Jiang Taigong fishes." Saying this, he snatched the plate of fish in front of himself. The second man said, "Shiqian steals the chicken." After saying this, he brought the chicken to himself. The third person said, "Zhang Fei sells meat." Then took the bowl of pork. The fourth man said, "Su Wu shepherds the sheep." And also nonchalantly served the mutton. The fifth man said, "Zhu Yuanzhang killed the ox." As soon as the words fell... He went to serve the beef. Seeing that there was only a plate of green vegetables left on the table, the sixth person had to say, "Liu Bei grows vegetables." And took away the green vegetables as well. And when it was Xu Wenchang's turn, there were no more vegetables left on the table.

At this time, I only heard the ordering officer say, "The wine order has been executed, so don't be polite, eat each one." At this time Xu Wenchang said unhurriedly, "Wait! I haven't said it yet." Then he flicked both sleeves, made a gesture, and said loudly: "Qin Shi Huang annexed six countries." At once, the six dishes were moved over. The other six literati were first stunned for a moment, and then said in a loud voice, "Admirable! Admirable!"
