Hu Huaqiang, | in Sichuan dialect: Blowing the lamp hates two eyes

Text/Hu Huaqiang

Eyes can talk, love and hate, do not necessarily have to use the mouth, a pair of eyes (or even one eye) is enough to convey affection. The works of the ancients are blue and white, the eyebrows between men and women are affectionate, the eyebrows between the miscreants come and go, and the people who miss look through the autumn water - look, why do you have to spit out a word and a half word, the information conveyed is complete and rich enough. But this must have a premise, the space transmitted by the eyes should be clear enough and transparent.

"Blowing the lamp and hating the two eyes", that is, using the eyes to convey hatred in the dark, no amount of hatred can only be annihilated in the darkness. This Sichuan proverb, used as a metaphor for expressing anger and hatred for someone behind someone's back, contains the meaning of helplessness and cowardice, and is more vivid than the phrase "lifting a stone and smashing the sky".

There is a second-rate son who once ran rampant in the countryside, stealing chickens and dogs without evil, and has a strong desire for revenge. Whoever was harmed by him could only swallow his anger, and if he opened his voice, he would be waiting for the second-rate man to double his revenge. Everyone hated him, but they did not dare to offend him in person, and the honest townspeople said the most for this reason, "Blowing the lamp and hating two eyes."

A colleague caused the dislike of the unit leader because of a small matter, and the leader often put small shoes on the colleague and clipped it, which made the colleague very annoyed. At a wine table, colleagues took advantage of the wine to express their dissatisfaction with the leader, and a guy at the same table could not listen to it, took the wine glass and reprimanded: "Usually farts do not dare to put half a, drinking wine will strengthen people's guts." You don't just dare to blow the lamp and hate two eyes! I thought the reprimand would stir up his fighting spirit, and as a result he was already asleep on the edge of the table.

There are always unfair things in the world, and there is always love and hatred in people's hearts. Some emotions can be vented in front of the gong, and some are afraid to be unwilling or unable. Those who ask for others and are subject to others can exchange their own concessions for some desired result; if they are unwilling, they are inferior to others, and if they are not caught, they will have thousands of hatreds and helplessness. At this time, the safest way to vent is to "blow the lamp and hate two eyes". After Ah Q was hit by the "civilization stick" of the fake foreign devil, he saw that the fake foreign devil had gone far, so he gritted his teeth and scolded the back of the fake foreign devil, "Son beat Lao Tzu", and he could immediately be calm and even satisfied, so it can be seen that "blowing the lamp and hating two eyes" may not have a little positive value. "Spiritual Victory Law", who doesn't have a point in them?
