make three calls at the thatched cottage/repeatedly request sb to take up a post
This is the story of Liu Bei's visit to Zhuge Liang at the end of the Han Dynasty. Since then, it has become a story, and it has gradually become an allusion. Shu zhi? Zhuge Liang Chuan? A model. Now it is often used to express sincerity and repeatedly invite and visit sages with expertise.

Where is the origin of Shu in the Three Kingdoms? Zhuge Liang's "Model": "The first emperor didn't treat my ministers with shame, but gave up on himself and took care of my ministers in the grass."
The yellow turban insurrectionary uprising at the end of Han Dynasty caused great chaos in the world. Cao Cao sat in the imperial court, and Sun Quan supported Dongwu. Liu Bei, the imperial clan of the Han Dynasty, heard from Xu Shu and Si Mahui that Zhuge Liang was very knowledgeable and talented, so he came to Wollongong in Longzhong (now southwest of Xiangyang City, Hubei Province) with gifts and asked Zhuge Liang to come out to assist him. It happened that Zhuge Liang went out that day, and Liu Bei had to go home disappointed. Soon, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei braved the snowstorm and invited them for the second time. Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang went out for a walk again. Zhang Fei doesn't want to come again. Seeing that Zhuge Liang was not at home, he urged him to go back. Liu Bei had to leave a letter expressing his admiration for Zhuge Liang and asking him to come out of the mountain to help him save the country's crisis. After a while, after eating vegetarian food for three days, Liu Bei was ready to invite Zhuge Liang again. Guan Yu said that Zhuge Liang may exist in name only, but he may not have real talent and learning, so there is no need to go. Zhang Fei, on the other hand, advocated that he should make a phone call alone and tie it up with a rope when he didn't come. Liu Bei scolded Zhang Fei and invited Zhuge Liang for the third time. When they arrived at Zhuge Liang's home, it was already noon and Zhuge Liang was sleeping. Liu Bei dare not disturb him. He stood until Zhuge Liang woke up and sat down to talk to each other.
Zhuge Liang saw that Liu Bei was interested in doing things for the country and sincerely asked him for help, so he came out to help Liu Bei establish the Han Shu Dynasty.
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms called Liu Bei's three invitations to Zhuge Liang "three visits to the cottage". Zhuge Liang also said in the famous "Teacher's List" that "the first emperor had no intention of being a minister, but he was self-defeating and took care of his ministers in the grass." So when the world saw someone go to that person's home several times in a row and asked the person he admired to come out and help him, he quoted this sentence to describe his desire and sincere mood. That is to say, I am not ashamed to ask questions, and I am open-minded to seek talents. In the 12th year of Jian 'an (2007), when Zhuge Liang was 27 years old, Liu Bei visited the Caotang in Longzhong, Nanyang, and met with Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang brilliantly analyzed the situation at that time, and put forward a grand blueprint for unifying the country's strategic thinking by first seizing Jing and Yi as a base, reforming politics at home, uniting Sun Quan with Yue and Zhu Rong in the south, and waiting for an opportunity to send troops to the Northern Expedition.

Idioms and their stories
Wang Xizhi was born in the Jin Dynasty (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang). He is one of the most famous calligraphers in the history of China. Because he was a general of the right army, later generations called him Wang Youjun.
Although Wang Xizhi's handwriting is so good, it has something to do with his talent, but the most important thing is his hard work. In order to practice his handwriting well, whether he is resting or walking, he must think about the structure of the font, try to figure out the shelf and momentum of the word, and keep paddling his fingers on his skirt.

Once, he went to a Taoist temple to play, and when he saw a group of geese were lovely, he asked the Taoist priest to sell them to him. The Taoist priest in Guanli admired his calligraphy for a long time and asked him to write a copy of Huang Tingjing in exchange. Wang Xizhi liked those geese very much and agreed. So Wang Xizhi wrote a poem "Huang Ting Jing" for Guan Li, and the Taoist gave him all those geese.
On another occasion, the emperor went to the northern suburbs to offer sacrifices, and asked Wang Xizhi to write his congratulatory message on a board, and then sent workers to carve it. The sculptor was very surprised when he carved. Wang Xizhi's calligraphy and brushwork actually penetrated into the wood for more than three points. He praised: "The words of the general of the right army are really incisive!"

During the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei occupied Shu and established Shu. After his death, his son Liu Chan succeeded to the throne, also known as Liu Adou. Liu Chan is incompetent. After the death of the sage, Shu was destroyed by Wei in 263 AD. After Liu Chan surrendered, Cao Mao of Wang Wei gave him the title of "An Le Gong" with no real power and moved him to Luoyang, the capital of Wei. Wang Wei himself has no real power, and Si Mazhao has the final say. At a banquet, Si Mazhao deliberately arranged to perform Sichuan songs and dances in front of Liu Chan. At the thought of the ruin of the old country, Liu Chan's followers were very sad, but they said to him, "Just have a good time here and don't think about Shu any more." He doesn't miss Shu at all.
