Chinese characters are one of the oldest written languages in the world, and there is great wisdom hidden in the humorous Chinese characters.

Borrow "Dots"
One person's surname is Bu, and his name is unknown, and the other is Tsuka, whose name is Buxiao. They made friends and became brothers.
One day, the elder brother said to the younger brother, "Our surnames are very strange. You see that the word 'mound' is very similar to 'home', but it is one less 'point', as if officials do not have gauze hats. Today, I would like to discuss with you, brother, if you can bet the 'point' of your 'Bu' character waist on my 'mound' and make me a 'home', wouldn't it be great?"
After hearing this, the younger brother replied: "It is okay to lend you a 'point' and make you a 'family', but if you become a 'family', I will have to be a bachelor!"
Insight: If you want to have a "home", you can't let others "beat the single". In life, we need to think more about others.

Shinda Fraud
Once upon a time, there was a rich man named Hu Xintian, who had a very bad mind and was mean to the poor. One day, I met Wen San and said: "Wen San, they all say that you can tell stories, tell me about it today." ”
Wen San agreed, and told a story:
Once upon a time, there was a family with the surname Ten and the surname Yu.
The surname ten thinks that his strokes are too few, and there is no such surname on the "Hundred Family Names", so he said to the surname metaphor: "Your mouth is hanging next to it, it is redundant, give me the surname Gu, and you can also return to the sect on the "Hundred Family Names". ”
The surname Yu thought, give him the word next to me, I changed my surname to Yu, and the sound remained the same, so I agreed.
However, the surname ten was not satisfied, and soon said to the surname Yu: "In-laws, my ancient characters are still too few, you give me the word of the month, let me be surnamed Hu!"
When the other party heard this, he became angry: "Do you want to hollow out my underneath?
Hu Xintian was scolded, and he was bored.
Perception: Leave some leeway, be a man of proportion.

each other
There is a saying since ancient times: "Show talent knows how to read, read half of it." ”
It is easy to make mistakes when reading half of the words, and this saying is used to satirize "Mr. White Letters".
There is a Xiucai surnamed Zhou, who is a person who knows half of the words. There was an exchange of name cards (business cards) with a person surnamed Chen.
Zhou Xiucai looked at the other party's name post and said, "Brother Dong, long admiration, long admiration." ”
The surnamed Chen also looked at the name card in his hand, and arched his hand and said: "Brother Ji, long admiration, long admiration." ”
Zhou Xiucai was unhappy when he heard this, and said, "My surname is obviously Zhou, why did you pick my skin?"
The surnamed Chen responded: "My surname is Chen, but you are only allowed to cut off my ears, and I am not allowed to pick your skin?"

Ji Xiaolan inscribed the word "bamboo bud" to him, saying that it means "bamboo bud pine mao".
He Shen happily hung it in the main hall, and when Emperor Qianlong saw it, he said to He Shen: "You have been tricked by Ji Xiaolan! Isn't it the word 'bamboo bud' when you take it apart?"
He Shen suddenly cried and laughed.
Insight: Sometimes, it's good to look at it from a different angle.

Zhang Gong Li Mu
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a martial arts student in Nanjing, named Zhang Gong, who shot a good arrow, but he had a problem and was so boastful.
Once, when he was practicing archery, many onlookers applauded again and again, Zhang Gong was very proud, and immediately wrote a couplet:
The bow is long and the bow is open, and the bow is open,
Shoot arrows with a bow, and the arrows are all hit.
None of them came up. At this time, a bow seller came over, and after reading Shanglian, he took out his bow and asked Zhang Gong to give it a try.
Zhang Gong couldn't even pull it open after trying a few times. The bow seller asked, "Do you know what kind of wood this is made of?" ”
The bow seller said, "My bow is made of plum wood." Zhang Gong was very strange: "Li Mu is not a good material, how can he make such a hard bow?"
The bow seller laughed, "This is the carpenter's skill." "After that, put pen to paper and write the couplet:
Mu Zi Li, Li Mu Li carpenter,
Li wood carved bow, the bow is difficult to open.
The people were puzzled, and asked what it meant. The bow seller explained: "His surname is 'Gong Chang Zhang', my surname is 'Mu Zi Li', his name is Zhang Gong, my name is Li Mu, people call him 'Zhang Archer but call me 'Li Carpenter', he is good at opening his bow and archery, but I can use 'Li Mu carved bow', he shoots arrows 'all arrows and arrows are hit', but unfortunately the Li Mu bow that pulls me is 'the bow is difficult to open'." ”
When the crowd heard this, they laughed. Zhang Gong was ashamed of himself, hurriedly packed up his bow and arrows, and walked away.
Insight: As the saying goes: There are people outside the world, and there are days outside the sky. The strong have their own strong hands, and they can't boast about their own ability, once they meet a master, they are humiliated.

The word is the same fate
The two scholars went to divination together. One of them first wrote a "string" character for the fortune teller to read.
Mr. Split Zi believes that "string" can be broken down into two "medium" characters, and he must be able to raise "medium" twice in a year (the imperial examination is divided into different levels and stages, and sometimes there can be more than one level examination in a year).
At this time, another reader also wanted to get a few compliments, and also wrote the same "string" character.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Demolition's face straightened up and said, "Your Excellency not only can't go to high school, but disaster is about to come." ”
The man asked the reason, and Mr. Split replied, "The gentleman just now wrote the word 'string' unintentionally, and Your Excellency wrote it on purpose. Intentionally, that is, 'intentional'. There is a "heart" under the "string", and it becomes the word "suffering", which means that there will be calamity. ”
Later, the former scholar really won the double yuan, and the latter scholar was imprisoned for cheating in the exam and committing the crime of bullying the king.
Insight: Life is a process of coming and going naked, the key here is a matter of mentality, different mentalities will deduce different stories.

After several rounds of wine, everyone threw the dice and carried out the "melon vine" wine order. One of the guests was punished for the offense and should drink, so he jokingly pushed the glass to the top and said, "The fox lady is still very sober, please have a drink on her behalf!"
The fox girl smiled and said, "I don't know how to drink, I'm willing to tell a story and drink for everyone!" Sun Deyan hurriedly covered his ears and didn't even listen.
The guests all said, "Whoever scolds will be punished for drinking!" The fox girl laughed and said, "Is it okay for me to scold the fox?" and everyone said, "Okay!" and they all pricked up their ears and listened to her.

The king was amazed when he saw the hat, and asked, 'What kind of skin is this?' The minister told him that he was a fox. The king said, 'I have never heard of such a thing in my life.'

Yang Shusheng listened and said: "It turned out to be ......" and said that he couldn't go.
In order to think about what the surname of these twenty-nine is, from the time he entered the room, until dawn the next day, he didn't remember it, and he recited the surnames of the hundred families several times.
After dawn, Mr. Yang checked out to leave. After settling the account, I couldn't help but ask the proprietress "What's your last name?"
When the proprietress heard this, "You haven't figured it out yet?" He took a wooden block and threw it on the ground: "That's my surname." ”
The scholar was still puzzled: "I still don't understand." ”
The proprietress listened and said, "Wood is wood, the ground is earth, what is wood and soil together?"
Yang Shusheng understood: "Your surname is Du, your surname is Du, what do you do when you say that your surname is twenty-nine?"
The proprietress replied: "Doesn't Yang Gongzi like to play with words? I'll give you a thorough dismantling, the wooden word is eighteen, the soil word is eleven, eighteen plus eleven, not twenty-nine?"
