2. "Swallowed alive" comes from the Tang Poetry Chronicle by Ji Yougong of the Southern Song Dynasty. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Huaiqing, a lieutenant of Zaoqiang County (Zaoqiang, the name of the county, now Zaoqiang County, Hebei Province; lieutenant, a county official), liked to plagiarize the writings of famous literati. Li Yifu, a minister of the dynasty, once wrote a five-character poem, which reads, "Skeletonizing the moon into a singing fan, cutting clouds into dancing clothes, self-pitying back to the snowy shadow, so as to return to Luochuan."

Zhang Huaiqing transformed the poem by adding two words to the front of each line, turning it into a poem in seven lines: "The moon is a fan for song, and the clouds are clothes for dance: look in the mirror and feel sorry for yourself and return to the shadow of the snow, and it is good to return to Luochuan when you are coming."

People read the poem as follows: "The moon is a fan for song, the clouds are clothes for dance, and it is good to return to Luochuan."

People read Zhang Huaiqing's poem, all clamored and laughed. Some people sneered at his tactics as: "Peeling Zhang Changling alive, swallowing Guo Zhengyi alive!" Zhang and Guo were both famous for their words at the time of the important people in the court, the Tang Emperor's edicts and court documents, most of them from their handwriting.
