During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, in addition to fighting, the various countries were more likely to seek alliances and get support, which is the so-called "combination of vertical and horizontal, in order to defeat the strong with the weak." For the powerful Jin state, the first thing to win over is naturally to be close to its own Weiguo, so during the Jin Pinggong period, the Jin state often had diplomatic exchanges with the Weiguo, and the two monarchs also met many times to determine the relationship between the Jinwei alliance.
Once, Wei Linggong took his own guqin master Shi Juan to the Jin Kingdom for a friendly visit, and the Duke of Jinping received them graciously in his newly built palace. During the banquet, after Wei Linggong looked at the song and dance performance of the Jin Kingdom, he could not help but clap his hands and praise, so he ordered Shi Juan to take out the guqin and play it to help the wine xing. In order to thank the Duke of Jinping for their hospitality, Shi Juan did his best to play for the two kings, only to see the sound of the guqin flowing into everyone's heart like a drizzle, and both the Duke of Jinping and the Duke of Weizhuang were very satisfied with it.
But at this time, The Jinguo musician Shi Kuang, who was sitting at the banquet, frowned and did not know what was on his mind. And Shi Juan had just played halfway through, and Shi Kuang couldn't bear it any longer, so he hurriedly held down Shi Juan's hand playing the piano, and then shot up: "Stop, this is basically the music of the subjugated country, how can you play such a song?"
Shi Kuang's roar immediately plunged the scene into embarrassment, and Jin Pinggong turned back to Him and hurriedly rebuked Shi Kuang, saying, "This song is obviously very good for me to listen to, so why do you have to say that this is a song of the subjugation of the country?" As a result, Shi Kuang replied very angrily, "This song must have been heard from the Pu River." When the Shang Dynasty was about to fall, The musician Yan wrote this song for him, and from then on, the King of Lu indulged in this piece of music all day and could not extricate himself, and was eventually destroyed by King Wu of Zhou. After the fall of the Shang Dynasty, Shi Yansheng was afraid of being caught by King Wu of Zhou and questioned, so he jumped into the river with a violin and drowned, so Shi Juan could not play this song. ”
After listening to Shi Kuang's explanation, Jin Pinggong did not care, so he said to Shi Kuang: "The times have changed long ago, will listening to some such songs now still destroy the country?" Let Shi Juan continue to play, otherwise yaxing who has swept the VIPs, I will ask you!" In desperation, Shi Kuang could only let go. Later, the power of the Duke of Jinping fell by the wayside, and the actual power of the Jin state fell into the hands of Liu Qing, and hundreds of years later, the Jin state was indeed destroyed.
