Story:
During the Western Zhou Dynasty, King You was known for his unwise and tyrannical rule. He was deeply infatuated with a beauty named Bao Si and spared no effort to make her smile, even at great cost. He eventually deposed the legitimate crown prince to make Bao Si's son the new heir.
Despite these unjust circumstances, the former crown prince, in his sorrow, wrote a poem titled "Xiaobian." In this poem, he expressed his profound respect and filial reverence for his parents, embodying the spirit of 'Bi Gong Bi Jing' – utmost deference and respect, even when faced with personal hardship and his father's actions.
