The ancients were not always "polite" as we think. Even the emperor had times to curse, not to mention the courtiers and small people below.
It's just that the level of education is different, and the level of swearing is different. For example, the ancient vulgar version of scolding people is like this - spare you like a ghost, eat the old woman's foot-washing water, straight lady thief, you (taken from Water Margin)
As for cultural people, their scolding is usually very subtle, and those who have not read the book may think that they are praising people, or they are easy to misinterpret other meanings, and the result is laughter and generosity.
Today I want to say is the famous 6 "dirty words" in history, scolding people without a dirty word, don't mistake it for praising people.
140,000 people were disarmed
Not a single one of them was a man
Put this sentence first, because I saw a classmate on the Internet before: "140,000 people took off all their clothes on the battlefield, and none of them were men, all of them were women dressed as men!" ”
In fact, this sentence is a satire that people have no integrity and will not hesitate to betray their principles in order to survive.
Of course, the original words were the sad and indignant works of Madame Huarui after the fall of the country, mainly satirizing the boys of the Shu kingdom.
Phase rats have skins, and people have no instruments
Man has no honor, what is not to die
This sentence comes from the first poem in the Book of Verses, which is quite spicy. Translated in layman's terms: even rats have skins, where have your face gone as a human? If people don't even want their faces, why are they still alive?
When this poem first appeared, it was mainly satirizing the monarch at that time for not doing the right thing, bullying the common people all day, having no skin and no face, and losing all manners.
Summer worms can not speak ice
This sentence comes from "Zhuangzi", which means that the worm can only live for one summer, and does not know that there is still winter in the world, if you talk to it about the ice and snow of winter, it will not only not accept it, but will think that you are crazy and talk nonsense.
"Summer worms" are usually compared to shallow-sighted, self-righteous people, and talking to such people will make you very tired.
For example: "Lang is so shallow-eyed, it is really a summer worm that can't speak ice." (From the Ming Dynasty's "The Surprise of the Second Moment Shooting")
The shaft is insufficient and conspiratorial
This sentence is more famous, almost as famous as "having children should be like Sun Zhongmou". When Xiang Yu set up a feast at the Hongmen Gate, Fan Zeng urged him to kill Liu Bang, but Xiang Yu hesitated to miss the opportunity, and Fan Zeng angrily scolded "insufficient erection and conspiracy", which means that you fool, I help you come up with ideas is really a waste of time!
You are simply a "can't stand up to Ah Dou", and whoever helps you will have to be angry to death.
Old and not dead is for thieves
Old Master Kong rarely said "dirty words" in his life, and this sentence was what he said to yuan yuan. This means that you are so old and have no virtue, and you are old and do not die and become pests, which not only wastes air, but also wastes land.
According to Confucius's meaning, people should be a good example when they are old, so that everyone can "respect the old", if the old man himself acts recklessly, it will be difficult for others to respect him.
Mu monkey and crown
This sentence is also related to Xiang Yu.
After Xiang Yu became famous, a Han Sheng advised him to set the capital in Guanzhong and undertake the hegemony of the Qin Dynasty, but Xiang Yu only wanted to go back to Jiangdong to show off with his father and elders, Han Sheng felt that Xiang Yu had the name of a overlord and did not have the ability to be a overlord, and privately muttered that he "Mu Monkey and Crown", which means that although he pretends to be a human being, he has a false appearance, and once he is proud, he forgets his form, has an empty appearance, and is stupid inside.
