Confucius made a special trip to "ask Lehong" about music and astronomy knowledge with Chang Hong during the "Entering the Zhou Dynasty" period. Han Yu's "Shi Shuo" of the Tang Dynasty said: "Confucius's teachers Tanzi and Chang Hong..." Cao Xuequan's "Records of Scenic Spots in Sichuan" of the Ming Dynasty recorded: "Confucius tasted the music of Chang Hong, and he bled three years after his death. Turn into blue."

In the second year of King Jing of Zhou Dynasty (518 BC), he visited Chang Hong to ask for advice on the similarities, differences and differences between Shao music and Wu music. Confucius expressed his gratitude to Chang Hong for his erudite teachings. The following year, he went to Qi State to listen to the performance of Shao music. He was so happy that he danced with joy and was so drunk that he "didn't know the taste of meat in March." The meeting between Confucius and Chang Hong was called "Visiting Hong to Ask for Music" in history.
