Creative thinking requires a capacity for association. ? ?

Xu Wenchang, a gifted scholar from Shaoxing in the Ming Dynasty, was intelligent and extraordinary since he was a child.One day, he drank with six literary friends.The six people had agreed in advance to play tricks on him.Under their arrangement, a total of six dishes were served, and wine orders were made according to age.Each drinking order must tell an allusion. If it is related to the dish on the table, you can take the dish to eat. If you can't tell it, you can't eat the dish. ?
After three chapters of the agreement, the official (the oldest) said: "Jiang Taigong is fishing." After that, he grabbed the plate of fish in front of him.The second person said: "Shiqian stole the chicken." After speaking, he brought the chicken in front of him.The third person said: "Zhang Fei sells meat." Then he took the bowl of pork.The fourth person said: "Su Wu shepherds the sheep." He also took the mutton away politely.The fifth person said: "Zhu Yuanzhang killed the cow." As soon as the words fell, he went to serve the beef.Seeing that there was only one plate of green vegetables left on the table, the sixth person had no choice but to say, "Liu Bei grows vegetables." He took the green vegetables away too.When it was Xu Wenchang's turn, there was no food left on the table. ?
At this time, I only heard the officer say: "The wine order has passed, everyone is welcome, let's eat what we want." At this time, Xu Wenchang said calmly: "Wait a minute! I haven't said anything yet." Then with a flick of his sleeves, He made a gesture and said loudly: "Qin Shihuang annexed the six countries." He moved all six dishes over at once.The other six literati were stunned for a moment, and then they said repeatedly: "I admire! Admire!"?
Mind walk?

The drinking order made by several people in the story is a game of association.Association is a psychological process in which one thing thinks of another. Its physiological and psychological mechanism is to form temporary associations between several things or concepts. ?
