Origin and Story of 笑骂从汝
During the Northern Song Dynasty, when Wang Anshi was implementing his new policies, a man named Deng Wan, eager to gain favor, wrote a memorial to Emperor Shenzong (Zhao Xu). In his letter, he overtly flattered Wang Anshi and his associates, comparing them to legendary figures like Yi Yin and Lü Shang, and praising the popularity of their reforms, such as the Green Shoots Act and the Labor Exemption Act.
Impressed, Wang Anshi recommended Deng Wan to the Emperor. Emperor Shenzong then appointed Deng Wan as a collator at the Jixian Academy.
Throughout his tenure, Deng Wan remained completely unaffected by the ridicule and criticism from others, letting them mock and revile as they pleased.
