Famous literati of the Qing Dynasty Jiang Shiquan was smart since he was a child, and was good at reciting poems and writing poems. He was a well-known little prodigy.

An old scholar who was well-read in poetry traveled to Jiang Shiquan's hometown and heard the locals talking about this child prodigy. He didn't know whether it was true or not, so he wanted to visit him. After the old scholar saw this legendary little prodigy, he humbly said to Jiang Shiquan: "I have been here for a long time, and now I have come to ask for advice." Jiang Shiquan naturally understood that the old man was asking for advice on the surface, but in fact he wanted to test himself, so he He replied very humbly and politely: "Sir, please speak. Let me give it a try, junior." The old scholar said a couplet: "There is no tiger in Huyan, and the tiger is famous - Marshal Zhao Gong."

This Huyan is a place name, Zhao Gong The marshal is the God of Wealth in "Sou Shen Ji", and it is said that he rides a black tiger. Therefore, this couplet written by the old scholar is an allusion couplet. If the upper couplet is to be properly matched, the lower couplet must also contain the story of the couplet. This kind of test questions is really difficult for a child. But Jiang Shiquan thought for a while and wrote the second line: "There is a tower in Tashan, and the tower is the god - King Li Jing."

Jiang Shiquan's second line uses "Tashan" versus "Huyan". Tashan is the name of a mountain in his hometown, and the place name. The place name is very appropriate. The following allusion is and the Pagoda King . This Pagoda King is a god in "Journey to the West". He is a perfect match for "Marshal Zhao Gong". When the old scholar heard this, he hurriedly praised him and said: "Wonderful, wonderful, he deserves to be a prodigy."
