（单词翻译:单击）

In the Warring States Period, Lin Xiangru, chief minister of the State of Zhao, was sent as an envoy¹ to the State of Qin to ask the ruler of Qin to return a fine piece of jade²（翡翠，碧玉） to Zhao. But the ruler of Qin was rude and unreasonable³. Lin was angry, and his hair stood up so stiffly on his head that it lifted up his hat.

This idiom came to be used to mean being extremely angry.
