In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was a man named Daogai in the Liang Dynasty.

His parents died when he was young.

Become an orphan

Life is hard. However, he did not flinch because of this. When he has time, he devotes himself to studying hard. Over time, he accumulated a lot of knowledge and became a smart and talented person. Irrigation is bold and direct.

Later, it was used by the imperial court. The official position has always been to ride a regular servant, serve a middle servant and offer wine to the prince.

To water, to have grandchildren.

His name is Mi, and he has been very clever since he was a child. He likes him very much when he comes to irrigate, and reads and writes poems with him whenever he has time.

Thus formed a good habit of loving poetry and prose. By the time he reached adulthood, his achievements in poetry had surpassed irrigation.

Very appreciated by Liang Wudi.

On one occasion, I chatted with Liang Wudi during irrigation.

Emperor Wu joked, "Your grandson's article is really good. Did he write all your articles for you? " To this end, Liang Wudi also wrote a poem entitled "Julian" and kicked it to the irrigation platform. The main idea of this poem is:

Writing articles with inkstone grinding ink is very handy with a pen. At this time, it's like a moth to a fire.

I completely forgot that my own inch can be destroyed. But you are an old man, why don't you let your grandson write articles instead of you?

Shortly after his arrival, he was appointed as Danyang Yin Cheng by Liang Wudi.
