Wuyi Shunkou Slip Wood fleas are called dog ticks
"The escalator is called Pingqi, the white salt is called Shangwei, the wood fleas are called dog hedgehogs, and the horseshoe is called horseshoes." ------------------------
Wood fleas are called bed bugs, and in the Wuyi area they are also called dog ticks. Bed bugs in ancient China were also known as bed lice, wood fleas, ticks, insects are insects, hemiptera, bed bugs. The development process of bed bugs is divided into three stages: egg, nymph and adult. Bed bugs have a pair of stink glands, can secrete an abnormal odor, this stinky liquid has the defense against predators and promote mating, bed bugs crawl over the place, are left with bad smell, so the name bed bugs.
Why are bed bugs called dog ticks? It was originally called bullshit, because bed bugs are as smelly as shit, and shit is in harmony with dog ticks, so shit becomes dog ticks.
According to folk tales: There used to be a hungry woman who was lazy and often sneaked into her room to eat. One day, she was hiding in her room stealing sticky rice. Suddenly, she heard her mother-in-law come in, and in a hurry, she hid the dishes and chopsticks in the quilt. But in the end, she was discovered by her mother-in-law, who asked doubtfully, "What are you doing here?" The daughter-in-law blushed and said, "I have heard people say that one thing cures one thing, and glutinous rice cures wood lice."
Later, people used one thing to cure one thing, and glutinous rice to cure wood lice as a metaphor for one thing to surrender to one thing. (Nie Juping)
