Sending goose feathers thousands of miles away is interpreted as a metaphor. Although the gift is meager, it contains deep friendship. It is said that during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, southwest Uighur was a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. On one occasion, in order to show friendship with the Tang Dynasty, the Uighur kingdom sent an envoy Mian Bogao to visit the King of Tang with a batch of rare treasures. Among these tributes, the most precious is a rare bird-the white swan. Mian Bogao, wearing jewelry and goose feathers, wearing a star Dai Yue, took the trouble to arrive in Chang 'an soon.
Emperor Taizong received goose feathers from Mian Bogao and Mian Bogao. Emperor Taizong read this poem and listened to Mian Bogao's complaints. Instead of blaming him, he felt that Mian Bogao was honest and fulfilled his mission, so he gave him a big reward. From then on, "a thousand miles to send goose feathers, courtesy is light and people's intentions are heavy" has become a portrayal or a kind of etiquette for people in China to exchange feelings.
