This sentence comes from Fang Yue's poem "Commander Biezicai". Since the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, Fang Yue's poems have been mostly used in the association of "unsatisfactory things often happen eight or nine times, but they are no different from the speaker".
Original poem:
Unhappy things are often nine times out of ten, but they are no different from the speaker.
Knowing Jingmen Zicaifu, I dream of galloping south of the city.
Translation:
In daily life, nine times out of ten things go wrong, but no two or three people can tell him.
Since I met Jingmen Zicai, I often dream of riding a horse and galloping south of the city gate at night.

Historical allusion
After Sima Yan, the emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty, ascended the throne in 265 AD, Sun Hao, the emperor of Wu, still occupied the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, Fujian and Guangdong during the Three Kingdoms period. In order to destroy Wu, Emperor Wu of Jin sent his minister and left servant to shoot yang hu (221-278) as the commander-in-chief of Jingzhou, and decided on the strategy of calming down the military.
Sima Yan praised his operational strategy. However, at that time, the northern border was often invaded and defeated. For fear, North Korea could not make up its mind to attack Wu in the south for a while.
At that time, after Yang Hucheng came to power, he first carried out the policy of friendly neighbors and won the hearts and minds of Jianghan area, and then put forward the plan of cutting Wu.
Because of this, yang hu sighed: "The world is unhappy, and the constant ten live in seven or eight, so there is a pause. Don't take it from the sky, don't hate the future! "
"Things go wrong seven or eight times", and then gradually become "things go wrong eight or nine times", and the meaning of "you can tell others without two or three" has changed, indicating that there are many unsatisfactory things, but there are not many things you can tell others. The description is unspeakable.
