Shudan Guan Posted June 22, 2023 Report Posted June 22, 2023 Yuan Ji was a famous scholar during the Wei and Jin Dynasty, who was knowledgeable and acted very unrestrictedly. He could stay at home for months for reading; also, he could travel for months with his friends while enjoying beautiful landscapes. He played so hard when he was happy that he could forget his own appearance. [Definition] Originally means someone is so happy that he forgets everything. Now it is used to criticize the shallows that are too happy to control themselves when they succeed. * If you are interested in Chinese folk tales or ghosts stories, have a look at: https://chinesestoriesfolktales.quora.com Quote
