Origin and Story of 郐下无讥
During the Spring and Autumn period, Prince Jizha of the State of Wu, who was skilled in music from a young age, visited the State of Lu. Lu invited him to enjoy the music and dances of the Zhou Dynasty. The musicians of Lu performed music from the Zhou Dynasty and various vassal states. Jizha commented on and critiqued the music from each vassal state, praising some and disparaging others.
However, after they played the 'Kuai Feng' (Arias of Kuai) from the State of Kuai, he no longer expressed any opinions, implying that the music was too insignificant to be worth his comment.
