Song Yu was an independent civil servant of Chu State at the end of the Warring States Period, and never echoed other people's opinions. When the king of Chu heard some bad things about him, he called Song Yu and asked, "Did you do something wrong? Why are many people dissatisfied with you? " Song Yu replied: "Let me say something first! There is a singer singing in Beijing.

At first, I sang the most popular folk song "Xialiba People" in Chu State. At this time, thousands of onlookers sang along. Then he sang a far-reaching "Yang Lu", and only a few hundred people sang along. When he sang the elegant song "Chun Xue" again, only a few dozen people sang along.

Finally, he sang a song with five tones and six rhythms. Only a few people can sing along. It can be seen that the deeper the song, the fewer people can sing along! "Then, Song Yu said:" The same is true between scholars. Those outstanding figures are ambitious and noble, and ordinary people certainly don't understand. This is exactly what happened to me! " Hearing Song Yu's remarks, the king of Chu felt very reasonable. There are no further questions.

This is where the idioms "Spring Snow" and "Xialiba people" come from. "Yangchun Baixue" was later used to represent elegant literary works, while "Xialiba people" represented popular literary works.
