Folklore: Talk about the pillow again

1. The high-density dialect "bean pillow" (sound), when it is "head pillow", that is, the pillow of the fall. Head traditional body as head. "Speaking": "Head, head also." Sound from the bean. Degree cut. ”（2022.02.07）

Later, it was found that the dialect bean pillow was a headrest, wrong! When I saw "Ten Thousand Angers, Bo Min Gong, Absolute Evil" in "The Legend of the Ram", I knew I was wrong. Min Gong was twisted and broken by Song Wan. The neck is neck. Therefore, the pillow is the dialect orthography of the pillow. The pillow is a neck pillow, which is in line with the reality of our pillow pillow. It can be seen that dialects are also very scientific. （2022.03.09）

"The Legend of the Ram and the Twelve Years of Zhuang Gong": Wan Yu fought with Zhuang Gong and won the Zhuang Gong. Zhuang Gong returned, scattered in the palaces, and then returned to him for several months. Returned to the opposite, for the doctor Yu Song. With Min Gongbo, the woman is on the side. Wan Yue: "Even so, Lu Hou Zhi Shu, Lu Hou Zhi Ye!" The princes of the world should be kings, only Lu Houer. Min Gong looked at this woman, jealous of her words. Gu Yue: "This is also a prisoner." What's the point? How evil is the beauty of Lu Hou? "Ten thousand angers, Bo Min Gong, absolutely unavoidable."

2. The high-density dialect is "oddly good" (sound), and some places call it "strange good". When it is "qihao", qi, extreme, that is, excellent. The "Qi" of "Qihao" is like the "Taste of Appetite" in "Xunzi". "Xunzi" real language and writing treasure house also. Later generations did not know, the writing "odd good", "strange" is a word, so some local dialects are falsely called "strange good".

Jiao Zidong: In addition to "strange good" in Lanling, there is also a dialect of "rare good". Both mean "best" or "very good". The three words "qi", "rare" and "qi" are harmonious, which is not only a dialect rheology, but also an ancient sound fossil.

Yantai Street - Folk Customs: Talk about pillows again

Xu Yanqi

In the Yantai Street edition of the Yantai Evening News, I read an article about the dialect of Laohuang County in Jiaodong, "Pillow", which was very kind. Because the hometown of Zhaoyuan Xinzhuang Town is closer to Laohuang County, there is only one "boundary river" separated, Hedong is Huang County, Hexi is Zhaoyuan, so many customs and slang are very similar. The following is to describe to you the customs of "pillow" in my hometown that I know.

"脰 pillow" is a pillow, the word "脰" means neck, 脰 pillow, in the hometown vocabulary, should be very ancient. Nowadays, few people use dialects to match each other, but in the marriage customs and etiquette of the hometown, there are many links related to the pillow, and the title of the pillow is difficult to change among the older generation. The pillow is a necessary thing in a person's life, and naturally becomes an important object in the dowry of the girl. According to the old rules of the hometown, the woman should sew a pair of double large pillows before getting married, almost 150-160 cm long, mostly sewn with coarse green cloth, the middle is cylindrical, the diameter is about 30 cm, and there are round and square at both ends. There are many embroidery patterns, there are Mandarin ducks playing in the water, dragons and phoenixes, hundred zi diagrams, etc., the quality is high or low, mainly depending on the level of embroidery. Most of the embroidery is done by the girl's own hands before she gets married, from which it can be seen whether the girl is skillful and how the needlework is. A pair of large pillows with exquisite embroidery can often be praised by in-laws and women. The day before the marriage, the man sent someone to carry it away, and with the futon and other things, it was spread on the kang, and a pair of large pillows appeared particularly eye-catching in the marriage room. The rules of moving dowry before marriage, known as "lifting the cabinet table" in the hometown, are mostly borne by the groom's brothers of the same ethnic group, and when I was a teenager, I also participated in the activities of "lifting the cabinet table" before the marriage of the brothers of the same clan, although I could not lift the large wardrobe, the top box cabinet, the old-fashioned cabinet table and other large items, and I did not dare to lift the large mirror, dresser and other fragile items. But carrying a washbasin rack and carrying a large burden is easy. Most of the fillings of the pillow are bran, bran and the like, at least wheat straw after threshing. After the woman's dowry was carried back, the man's family began to lay out the bedding of the new house, which was the last task to decorate the new house. When making the bed, it is usually necessary to ask two aunts or sisters-in-law who meet the requirements and have both children to do it, and sing happy songs while making the bed. After the paving is made, a pair of virgin boys and girls will be allowed to jump on the kang, called "rolling kang". It is believed that the kang laid out in the new house cannot be empty, and this night someone must be asked to "press the bed", and most of the people invited are a small boy.

The reason why the big pillow is important, in addition to being a necessary thing for later life, is also an indispensable and important prop in the wedding of the old rules: the xuàn (to fill in the hollow part of the object) pillow. When the wedding is about to end in the cave room, the bride and groom are about to spend candles in the cave room, at this time, in order to please the auspicious, there is a program of the last pillow, prepare copper wire, chestnuts, dates and other things in advance, and when the wedding principal gives an order, several close relatives and women in the family will put the prepared auspicious things into the big pillow, and the principal will sing a happy song while directing: one put gold, two put silver, three put a cornucopia; or a big one, a small one, one child, two fat dolls, two dolls are really good, cute and smart. The big pillow is the thing that the husband and wife share after marriage, and it is also a symbol of the two people's eternal knot and never separation. There is a line in the old movie "Li Shuangshuang": The sky is raining and flowing, and the two little ones do not remember revenge when they fight; quarrels and quarrels during the day, and it is still a pillow at night.

There is also an allusion to the hometown related to the big pillow. When I was in middle school in Xinzhuang Town, there was a classmate in the class, and I occasionally heard his classmates in the village call him "DaQi Pillow Family", which was very confusing. Inquiring carefully about the reason, I learned that there is an allusion. It turned out that the parents of this classmate married early, the woman was older than the man, the difference was five or six years old, the man was thirteen or fourteen years old, and the man's family may lack labor, so the marriage was done early. On the day of the wedding, the groom did not know what it meant, and he and his playmates grabbed firecrackers in the street and rolled all over the mud. On the wedding night, the bride wants to make love to the groom, and the little groom official knows the personnel affairs, so angry that the bride kicks the groom official to the kang. The mother-in-law who lives in the opposite house heard a "fluttering" sound coming from the new house and hurriedly asked: What fell off the kang? The bride was also very clever, and replied in a hurry: Big pillow. The mother-in-law did not let go, and this matter was even if it was confused. Somehow, the next day, the news spread throughout the village, so the good people gave his family the nickname "Big Pillow". Although his family has had several children in the future, his nickname has been called for decades, and I don't know if anyone still calls it now.
