Liu Yuxi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, was ostracized in Beijing because of his bohemian character, and was demoted as the governor of Suzhou.There is a local man named Li Shen who used to be an official of Sikong. Because he admired Liu Yuxi's poem name, he invited him to drink and invited several singers to accompany him at the banquet.During the banquet, Liu Yuxi became very popular with poetry for a while, and wrote a poem: "A high bun with new makeup on the temples, a spring breeze with Du Weiniang, it's commonplace to see messy things, and cut off the heart of the Suzhou governor." The idiom "commonplace" comes from Liu Yuxi derived from this poem.The word "Sikong" used in the poem is the name of an official position in the Tang Dynasty, which is equivalent to the Shangshu in the Qing Dynasty.From the perspective of Liu Yuxi's poem, the meaning of the whole idiom means that Li Sikong is used to such things so he doesn't feel strange.

This is a very commonly used idiom, but many people still misuse it, because ordinary things, if they happen naturally, cannot quote this idiom.For example, in the morning, the sun rises from the east, and at dusk, the sun sets in the west, so it cannot be said to be "common".Some things happen by accident, but they can happen or be seen often. At this time, it is more appropriate to use this idiom.For example, vehicles on the streets of a metropolis usually travel safely, but accidents often occur, either running over someone or crashing into a car. Four words are just right.
