In the pre-Qin period, human beings did not invent such an excellent writing carrier as paper, and the ancients could only write on metal, turtle shells, bamboo and other items. What to write? Write about some big events. The Chinese character originated from the knotted rope chronicle, which was originally used to replace the knot with the word to record major events, which is why Chinese characters are ideographic characters, and a word can represent a meaning.
The particularity of Chinese characters makes them various in application, such as those literati in ancient times, they even scold people without dirty words, if the person who is scolded has a low level of education, they can't even hear that the other party is cursing themselves, and they think they are praising themselves. Today we will talk about those classic swear words of the ancients, not a single dirty word, and I thought I was praising you when I heard it.
Zhou Lang's brilliant plan is to secure the world.
In the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there is a very famous bridge section, that is, Zhuge Liang calculated everything, and the "stingy ghost" Zhou Yu was angry and relapsed, spewing blood from his mouth, and soon after he was depressed. At that time, Zhou Yu originally wanted to pretend to give Sun Quan's sister Xu to Liu Bei, and then took the opportunity to take Liu Bei hostage to beg Jingzhou.
Who knew that Zhuge Liang would plan, not only did not let Eastern Wu take advantage of Jingzhou half a point, but also earned a daughter-in-law for Liu Bei, Zhou Yu's ruyi abacus failed people will be angry and vomit blood, which has the previous classic sentence "Zhou Lang's wonderful plan to secure the world", you think it is a good plan of Zhou Yu? It's just a taunt to you for "losing your wife and folding the soldiers."
Phase rats have skins, and people have no instruments.
This sentence comes from the Book of Poetry, which is originally a folk song of the first Qin period. At that time, the monarchs of some princely states were not virtuous, and they could not do anything, but their ability to oppress the people, plunder the people's fat and people's ointment, and sell officials and lords was very powerful. And the common people used this poem to mock the faint rulers: "Rats have skins, but you don't even want a face." ”
Mu monkey and crown is not enough.
At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and Xiang Yu, as a powerful force among many warlords, had many opportunities to unify the world and ascend to the position of emperor. At that time, a scholar surnamed Han gave Xiang Yu a number of suggestions, but Xiang Yu did not adopt them because of his short-sighted political vision. Shusheng ran away in a negative mood and replied: "Mu monkey and crown is not enough." ”
To put it bluntly, it is to mock Xiang Yuxiang: "When the monkey put on the gorgeous laurel crown, he really took himself seriously and thought he was a king." Sure enough, Xiang Yu was later forced to kill himself in Wujiang because of a series of major political and military defeats.
How do you know? Zhongshou, the wooden arch of the er tomb.
This sentence is from the "Thirty-second Year of Zuo Chuan and Gong Gong", when Qin Mugong wanted to attack Zheng Guo in the Spring and Autumn Period, asking the chancellor Qian Shu how feasible this military operation was. Uncle Qian pointed out that the road between Zheng Guo and Qin Guo was very far away, and there was also a very powerful Jin state between them, and sending troops to attack Zheng Guo was basically equivalent to sending people to the head.
Although these words were telling the truth, Qin Mugong was not happy when he heard it, but instead scolded, "How do you know?" Zhongshou, the wooden arch of the er tomb. ”
The ancients divided the upper life, the middle life and the lower life. The upper life is to live a long life and a hundred years, the lower life is to die young, and the middle life is the meaning of fifty or sixty years of life. Qin Mugong's words were to scold Uncle Qian: "If you die in the middle of your life, then the tree on your grave now is probably already so thick." To put it simply, it's "You beep again and I'll cut you, where so much nonsense." ”
May the child be foolish and reckless, and have no calamities and no difficulties to the secretary of state.
This sentence comes from Su Dongpo's poem. Su Dongpo's active era coincided with the weakening period of the Northern Song Dynasty, the imperial court was controlled by traitors and villains, and university scholars like Su Dongpo who were bent on serving the country were full of economy, but they always had no way to serve the country, and the real people with lofty ideals were being suppressed.
He wrote numerous poems to satirize the ruling faction in the dynasty at that time, so the "Wutai Poetry Case" broke out and was relegated to Huangzhou. And "May the child be foolish and reckless, and there be no disaster and no difficulty to the secretary of state" means: "As long as this child is stupid, he will have the opportunity to be crowned as a prince in the future", bluntly mocking the secretary of state at that time was a fool.
The well frog cannot speak of the sea, and the summer worm cannot speak of ice.
This sentence was originally from "Zhuangzi Qiushui". Don't talk to the frog at the bottom of the well about the sea, people have never seen it; don't talk about ice and snow with the summer rush, people haven't lived until winter. The meaning of these two sentences is very understandable, that is, to satirize the other party's lack of culture, lack of insight, and no vision, and by the way, remind you not to waste time with such people. Although Zhuangzi's words did not carry half a dirty word, they were all words and words, and the knife was in the flesh.
