"You can escape on the first day of the lunar month, but not on the 15th" because in the past, the New Year was the time for collecting debts, and some debtors took advantage of the New Year to go out to avoid debts. But you can't hide every day, and if you leave, your home will still be there, and the debt collector can wait at your house, so it is called "You can hide on the first day of the lunar month, but not on the 15th day of the lunar month." Refers to evading for a while, but ultimately cannot escape at all.

Tell me a story about the Ming Dynasty, "You can escape the first day of the Lunar New Year, but you can't escape the fifteenth day."

During the Yongle period, there was a man who had just won the Jinshi. His name was Yang Jin. One day, Yang Jin suddenly got a strange disease, and it was very serious. But Yang Jin had a good relationship with a royal physician, so he asked his family to call the imperial physician to find out what the disease was.

Who would have known that not long after his family left home, Yang Jin's illness suddenly worsened. Yang Jin felt that he did not have long to live, and cried bitterly that he had not been able to get the emperor's decree to honor his family, so how could he have the face to do so? Going to see my dead mother? As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes were wide open, but he was no longer breathing, and he didn't know if he was dead.

Soon after, the imperial doctor invited by the family also arrived. Hearing the sound of crying inside, the imperial doctor hurried in to take a look. It turned out that the Yang family was crying bitterly when they saw Yang Jin like this. The imperial doctor saw that Yang Jin looked strange with his eyes open, so he asked the Yang family what was going on? The Yang family told him the whole story

The imperial doctor said that it would not be difficult to get a reward from the emperor. The queen would give birth in the next few days. I have a way to keep Yang Jin alive for another ten years. God, we can wait until the emperor issues an imperial edict to appoint officials.

After the imperial doctor finished speaking, he asked the Yang family to find mugwort, light a stick of incense, smoke Yang Jin's whole body with mugwort, and perform acupuncture on his acupuncture points. As a result, before the stick of incense was burned out, Yang Jin suddenly groaned. The imperial doctor quickly poured some medicine upon seeing this, and Yang Jin actually came back to life.

When the imperial doctor saw that Yang Jin was alive, he told him that he must not eat bear or tiger meat, otherwise he would die suddenly. Yang Jin quickly nodded in agreement, but in fact he didn't care in his heart, because he thought bear meat and tiger meat were rare foods, and he couldn't eat them.

Six days later, the queen gave birth to the prince as expected by the imperial doctor. The emperor was very happy and held a banquet to entertain the ministers. Yang Jin was also on the emperor's invitation list. At one o'clock in the evening, Yang Jin entered the palace to attend the appointment.

At the banquet, the emperor ordered the eunuchs to bring out many precious delicacies to reward the civil and military ministers. One of the dishes was white silk with vermilion color, which tasted extremely sweet. Yang Jin also ate this dish and thought it was delicious as he had never experienced before, but he just didn't know what it was made of.

When he visited his colleagues the next day, he asked them what the dish they ate yesterday was made of and why it tasted so delicious? A colleague told him it was bear meat. Yang Jin was shocked after hearing this. He died suddenly not long after returning home that day. In the end, he still did not wait for the emperor's appointment.
