China is a ceremonial country with a long history and a profound ceremonial culture, and in the long course of five thousand years of history, the Chinese nation has formed noble moral standards, that is, complete etiquette norms and excellent traditional virtues.
Since ancient times Chinese has attached great importance to etiquette and etiquette, using civilized and ceremonial language, asking others for their names with noble surnames, asking others for their ages with Guigeng, reading other people's articles with prayers, and asking others to change their texts with axes.
Everyone knows the most and is probably the most familiar is "qianjin" and "dog", in ancient times, the daughter of a large family would be called "qianjin", and their sons would be called "inuyasha", the ancients were very modest, even if the family was rich, rich and invincible, but when talking to others, they still called themselves hanshe, parents although they hope that their children can become a dragon and a phoenix, but also to maintain a humble and generous attitude.
In fact, there are certain differences between children and daughters, and the traditional concept has the concept of "poor children, rich daughters", so the title of daughter will be "little girl", etc., which is better than the son's "dog". The contrast between the two is a bit big, do you know the reason for this, there are two allusions to these titles.
First of all, the word "qianjin" had nothing to do with the young lady at first, it was literal, a lot of money, but also referred to the future of the man, the father of the Southern Dynasty Liang minister Xie Shu [fěi] once said that his son: really good is my family's thousand gold. After this, "Qianjin" slowly began to refer to the unmarried girls of the rich and noble families. Most of the current "thousand gold" is a promise of thousand gold.
Next, let's talk about the allusion of "Miss Qianjin", which is because of a person, Wu Zixu, Doctor Wu Guo in spring and autumn. Wu Zixu's father, Wu Hao, was the Prince of Chuping, and because he was slandered by Fei Wuji, he was killed by King Chuping along with his eldest son Wu Shang, and Wu Zixu fled from the Chu state to the State of Wu.
On the way, I saw a raccoon girl with food in a bamboo basket, and she was very hungry at the time, so she went forward to beg. The girl was suddenly compassionate and gave it to her. After Wu Zixu had eaten enough, he was worried that the pursuing soldiers behind him would know his whereabouts, so he asked the other party to keep his whereabouts secret. The girl felt humiliated, and she immediately picked up a stone and plunged into the water to die. Wu Zixu saw the situation and was sad. He bit his finger and wrote a bloody letter on the stone: "Erhuan yarn, I beg; I am full of belly, and I am drowned." Ten years later, a thousand gold rewards! ”
Wu
Later, after Wu Zixu took revenge, he remembered the girl he met that year, but he didn't know anything about the girl's information, so he threw Qianjin into the place where she was diving. This is the origin of "Miss Qianjin". In addition, the allusion of a night of whiteheads is also related to Wu Zixu.
Inuyasha is his own modest title for his own son, the origin of Inuyasha is related to Sima Xiangru, a Han Dynasty literary scholar, known as "FuSheng", his wife is Zhuo Wenjun, who is known as one of the four talented women, there are many stories about Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun, and I will come out later if you want to hear.
According to the "Records of History", Sima Xiangru "read well when he was young and learned fencing, so his personal name was "Inuyasha". That is to say, Sima Inuzi is actually his name, the "unworthy name is good to feed" that was circulating at that time, and when he grew up, he felt that the name was not good, and he admired Lin Xiangru as a person, so he changed his name to Xiangru.
Sima is similar
With the fame of Sima Xiangru, "Inuyasha" was constantly known to others, and since then, everyone has begun to humbly call their son "Inuyasha", and to this day, the so-called "unworthy name" concept still exists.
