In ancient China, because transportation was not very convenient, people in most areas did not leave their areas. These people may choose different occupations in order to live, such as some people do a small business in the local area, then some people go up the mountain to do a ringing horse, and the occupation is also divided into three, six, nine, etc., which leads to many people dividing people in different regions into various occupations, such as the saying that there is a Beijing oil in Beijing. Not only that, there are many rural sayings such as "Shandong out of the horse, Henan out of the horse", to distinguish between different regions and regional personnel.
In the first half of this proverb, I believe that most of you who have seen some novels or ancient TV series understand the meaning of ringing horses. Just as in the "Talking about Tang" wrote that Qin Shubao saved the car, when Li Yuan was passing through Tongshan Mountain, he suddenly encountered a lot of horses rushing out of the forest, and there were bells tied to them. Under such circumstances, Qin Shubao jumped down from the mountain on horseback and shouted loudly that the horses should not be crazy and wanted to hurt the officials. Since then, xiangma represents bandits and has been widely circulated. But like Shandong's Xiangma said, mainly based on the former Shandong region, some of the mountain bandits and robbers, before grabbing things, they must first shoot arrows, all have the main saying of Xiangma, in fact, in the past many poor people also had no way to do Xiangma, after all, there were officials in the ancient Shandong region in the fish and meat township, so some people also did Xiangma in order to support justice, so they did Xiangma, and Shandong Xiangma is also described according to the character of Shandong people, Shandong Xiangma is also a famous drama, which is also passed down to this day.
In fact, at first these two words did not represent this meaning, but in the end, due to the compulsion of geography and life, most of the generals were also bandits who robbed their homes. At the beginning of the late Qing Dynasty, there was a relatively large number of young migrant workers. Every winter, we go together during the busy farming season to help some farmers repair care jobs such as terraces and ditches. But gradually, due to the war and chaos of the people every year, the investment in planting became less and less, which led to the trampling of the general has nothing to do. A group of bandits wandered around, and later the distinction between the two became less and less, which became what we call a crappy general. For Xiangma and The Generals, it used to be for the sake of being able to eat and to rob the rich and help the poor, and all the places where such people joined such an organization is also the origin of the Ringing Horses and the Generals.
