The term "man is full of husbands" was first derived from the "Fifteen Years of the Duke of Zuo Chuanhuan": "Man is full of husbands, and the father is only one".
There is also a tragic historical story about this idiom that we now see as miserable:
Sacrifice Zhongzhuan, Zheng Bo suffered, so that his son-in-law Yong yong killed. Will enjoy the suburbs. Yong Ji knew it, saying to her mother: "Father and husband? His mother said: "Man is a husband, the father is only one, Hu Kebi is also?" So he told the priest Zhongyue: "The Yong clan will give up its room and will enjoy the son in the suburbs, and I will be confused, so as to sue." "Sacrifice Zhong kills Yong Jie, corpse of the Zhou Clan Wang." The public is out, saying: "If you seek a woman, it is advisable for her to die." "Xia, Li Gong went out of Ben Cai." In June, Zhao Gong entered.
It is said that in the fourth year of Zheng Ligong (697 BC), Zheng Ligong was dissatisfied with the fact that the doctor Ji Zhong had monopolized the power of the state, fearing that he would plot to seize his throne. Therefore, Li Gong decided to act first, and before the priest did anything to him, he sent someone to kill him to avoid the trouble. At that time, Zheng Ligong was sent to assassinate Zhongzhong's son-in-law, Yong Gui. After receiving Li Gong's order, Yong Gui planned to feast on the priest in the suburbs, and then took the opportunity to kill the priest.
It is reasonable to say that such a secret thing should be carried out in secret, and not half a sentence with others, after all, the assassination of the powerful minister will crush his bones if he is not careful. However, he didn't know whether Yong Gui was really stupid or fake stupid, he actually told others about such life-threatening things, and this person was still the daughter of The Sacrifice.
You say, YongJiao is not stupid? He wanted to kill his wife's biological father, and he actually told her about such things, which was tantamount to telling the priest that he was going to kill him and make him prepare for it long ago?
Of course, perhaps Yong Gui thought that his wife would definitely be on his side, would watch his father be killed, and would not watch him die. However, how many people in the world can abandon their fathers to protect their husbands? Yong Gui's wife obviously couldn't do it.
When Yongjie's wife learned of this, she was a little hesitant at first, she didn't know whether to protect her father or her husband, after all, if she didn't say it, her father would die, but if she said it, her husband would also die. In this way, she did not know how to choose, but chose to tell her mother, asking her, "Which father is closer to her husband?" Let her mother decide for her (this choice is really funny, telling her mother is not equivalent to telling her father?). To put it bluntly, in fact, Yong Gui's wife has already made her own choice, that is, to protect her father and abandon her husband).)
Then we think about and know what kind of decision her mother would make her, of course, to tell her father that her husband wanted to kill him. Her mother said to her: "The father is only one, and everyone is a husband", to the effect that any man can become a woman's husband, but there is only one father, and there is no one to replace, so how can the two be compared! YongJie's wife was originally inclined to protect her father, and when she heard her mother say this, she naturally knew that she should do it.
After that, Yong Gui's wife gave Zheng Ligong the plan of letting Yong Gui assassinate her father, and told her father and Pan. When Ji Zhong learned of this, he naturally would not be indifferent, and he preemptively attacked, first killing Yong Gui, showing his corpse in the street, and then trying to force Zheng Ligong away.
The above is the historical story about "human beings"!
In fact, for the idiom of "all the people can be husband", the modern interpretation is completely different from the ancient interpretation.
The original meaning was far from the default meaning that everyone now knows. In modern times, "as much as one can" is a real derogatory term used to describe a woman who lives an unruly, unchaste life or a prostitute who has been in the flesh and skin business, meaning that she can have a cat with any man and treat him as her husband.
However, in ancient times, "man can do his best" was not a derogatory term, and its original meaning was not strange and obscene at all.
As the story above tells, the reason why Yonggui's wife's mother said "Father is only one, and everyone is a husband", is because Yonggui's wife asked her, "Father and husband?" That is, when her husband wants to kill her father, in the life and death moment when only one of the two can choose, who should she choose! At this time, the mother of Yongquan's wife said that "everyone can be a husband", its original intention was to make a comparison in the uniqueness of blood, pointing out the incomparableity between the two, there is only one father, and the husband chooses the range of men in the world.
From this we can see that the original intention of the human husband is to say that the father is more intimate and more important than the husband, and all men in the world can become their husbands, but there is only one father in this world, so the father is more important than the husband.
For example, Zhang Ailing once said a very powerful sentence: "Anyone, of course, this 'person' word represents an unmarried person of a certain class and age range." In this range, I am 'a man of the best'! Zhang Ailing in this sentence means that as long as the man is within a certain range that she can accept, the man may become her husband. And not, as we all know it!
