There is such a brain teaser, of course, this is also an old terrier, ask who is the fastest person in history? It's Cao Cao, why Cao Cao? Because
"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao to"
I can't see you responding here by myself, and it feels a bit like I'm telling a cold joke. So how did this sentence come about?
There is a folk saying that because Emperor Xian of Han was besieged by Li Dai and Guo Feng, Emperor Xian of Han was trying to ask him for help, and Cao Cao had already arrived with his troops.
Of course, this statement is difficult to find written records, at least in the zhengshi and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" novel is not seen, to say about the written record of this proverb, but also to turn forward several times, in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" thirteen times, Cao Cao and Lü Bu in the Puyang War, Cao Cao defeated, and killed back in the city, the result of the plan, the fire is bumping into Lü Bu Tingjian came, cover his face with his hands, quickly horse whip, Lü Bu chased up, at the moment of crisis Lü Bu grabbed Cao Cao and asked him, where is Cao Cao! Cao Cao pointed back and said that the one riding the yellow horse in front of him was the one, so Lü Bu chased the yellow horse away, and Cao Cao escaped the disaster.
So the critic Mao Zonggang commented on this plot: "See Cao Cao, ask Cao Cao back, give up Cao Cao, don't rush." Proverb: Fang said Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.
Wouldn't be funny if you missed it in person.
”
This scene is really funny, Cao Cao is in front of you, but he can't recognize it in person. In fact, this also shows that Mao Zonggang's era, in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, already existed
"Fang said Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive"
This proverb.
There is also an interpretation perspective of this proverb, we all know that Cao Cao is a person who is very suspicious and has eyes and ears, so whoever says bad things about him will know. This is based on evidence, and Cao Cao is recorded in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms
Establishment of "school affairs" institutions
If you say bad things about Cao Cao, he will know it and come here.
In fact, many people in life actually feel that "saying Cao Cao, Cao Cao to" is still quite magical, saying that whoever comes will come. This is a bit like Murphy's Law in psychology, where what you worry about is more likely to happen.
Say whoever comes, he just came, in this case you may feel, sure enough, "say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive", ah, but this person did not come, you will not remember this sentence. Maybe that's why a lot of people agree with Murphy's Law, because you selectively ignore what you don't say, and only remember those psychic situations, don't you?
