Allusion: There was an emperor named Sima Yan in the Jin Dynasty. In history, there were many harem beauties, including nearly ten thousand ladies and gentlemen. Therefore, which concubine is lucky every night has become a very headache. So Sima Yan came up with a way to let the sheep walk freely in the palace with a sheep cart. Where the sheep car stops, it is a favorite princess. A concubine ordered the imperial secretary to stick bamboo branches on the door and sprinkle salt water on the ground. The sheep stopped eating because they liked the taste of salt water, and the sheep cart stopped at its palace gate. This story comes from thirty-one books in Jin Dynasty. Because of this, later generations call it hoping to get the attention or favor of others.
