The saying is the experience summed up by the folk for thousands of years, and it is also the wisdom widely spread by the folk people. The colloquialism also covers a very wide range of aspects of life.
For example, the old ancestors often said that "it is better to call the mouth poor than to be sick", such as "the old do not leak the residual essence, less do not eat the strong fire", and for example, "not afraid of the green dragon is tall, afraid of the white tiger looking up" and so on, these are the wisdom summarized by the folk ancestors.
There is also a sentence that is "hanging fish embroidery in the palm of the hand, and the dragon and tiger are left on the list", so what does this sentence mean?
Folk sayings are the experience of the ancestors in production and life, so they often have the characteristics of simplicity and simplicity.
Therefore, the meaning of "hanging fish embroidery in the palm, staying on the dragon and tiger list" is that if there is a hanging fish pattern in the palm, then this person must be the person who left his name on the dragon and tiger list.
The so-called "Dragon and Tiger List" refers to the personnel who were listed in the ancient imperial examination. The term Dragon and Tiger List comes from the New Book of Tang, when Han Yu and other celebrities were on the same batch of imperial examination lists, and posterity called that year's list "Dragon and Tiger List".
Later, the ancestors of the people used the "Dragon and Tiger List" to refer to those who were studying for Denko.
In this saying that "the fish is embroidered in the palm of the hand, and the dragon and tiger list is left", the dragon and tiger list actually refers to a very wide range, and there is also the meaning of wealth and glory in it.
So, what does the hanging fish pattern mean? Why does the old ancestor say "the fish embroidery in the palm of the hand, the dragon and tiger on the list"?
The so-called "hanging fish embroidery" is actually just a metaphor. The old ancestor likened the pattern in his hand to embroidery on the palm of his hand. The hanging fish pattern is a pattern that hangs upside down in the hand like a fish. The old ancestor believed that such a pattern could indicate that this person could not only be at the top of the exam, but even FuLu Cai would not be lacking!
But in fact, people rarely believe such a statement now. Although such a statement is biased, it plays a pivotal role in our customs and culture!
The old ancestor has this kind of saying that "the fish embroidered in the palm of the hand, the dragon and tiger are left on the list", and its root cause is related to the traditional culture of the ancient ancestors!
The ancient view of fate was very popular, and the ancestors believed that everyone had their own different destiny. In primitive society, even in the imperial era, people's productive forces were still not very developed, but with the development of the times, people began to appear the gap between rich and poor, began to appear inferior, low-ranking and low-ranking, and began to appear long-lived and short-lived. It is difficult for ordinary people to understand why people are doing this. Therefore, it can only be one-sidedly attributed to fate, and over time, in order to explore the different lives between different people, people have produced ways to explore people's fate from the aspects of a person's physical appearance and mood.
And this saying that "the fish embroidered in the palm of the hand, the dragon and tiger remain on the list" was produced in such a cultural background!
In addition, there are many similar sayings in the folk, such as we often say that "the ear is blessed", for example, there is a folk saying that "one snail is poor, two snails are rich, three snails and four snails open pawnshops" and so on.
Even, folk also believe that the spin on the top of the head can indicate a person's personality wisdom, as well as future wealth, for example, in some places there are "one spin good, two spin stunned, three spin fights do not die", or "one spin good, two spin bad, three spin temper strange" and so on.
But in fact, these statements are all one-sided summaries of the experience of the ancestors!
