Recently, I don't know if you have paid attention to a more magical news.
That is, the tap incident in Nanning, Guangxi.
The incident originated in a video. The content shows that the photographer of the video, that is, Mr. Rong, is angrily filming the scene while questioning Lu Mou, who is hiding in the closet and shivering, whether he has an affair with his wife.
The wife, on the other hand, held the child on the side, denied this claim, and said that Lu mou was only here to repair the faucet.
Then things reversed many times, first a so-called apology letter appeared on the Internet, which said that the bitter lord had misunderstood, and also lost three thousand yuan to Lu Mou, who was beaten.
Subsequently, in an interview with reporters, Mr. Rong said that the apology letter was fabricated and had been reported, and the two did have a relationship.
But what is even stranger is that Mr. Rong's wife said that it was voluntary the first time, but the second time she said it was not voluntary, which made it difficult for the police to file a case under self-contradiction.
Of course, the comments section below has already exploded.
In addition to a variety of careful analysis, the most mentioned keyword is naturally green.
I don't know if you have noticed, from the green light, green hat, Hulk, green, green on the head, etc., green has become the next door lao wang, that is, the exclusive color of derailment, but also derived such as a green grassland above the head and other paragraphs.
However, this special meaning of green seems to be only circulated in China, or in the Chinese circles, and if you pay attention, you can find that most Chinese are reluctant to wear green hats.
Even in the North American stock market, green still means rising (contrary to our red rising and green falling), even muslims, green is also the representative color of Islam.
So the question is, how did green evolve into a special meaning today?
In the eyes of the ancients, turtles and snakes, the heads of both animals look similar, so they are considered to be two forms of the same animal, the turtle is female and female, and the snake is male and male. This may also involve the most primitive fertility cults and totemic cults.
Xuanwu this divine beast is described as: Xuanwu is also in the north. Turtles and snakes are both Xuanwu, so the snake is the residence of Xuanwu and the star of the void. It is also the god of fertility.

But the male turtle in the eyes of the ancients is not fertile, only the snake to mate with the female turtle, it looks a bit of nest and suffocation, including the back of the turtle, etc., can see the turtle, Wang Eight This is the lack of so-called manhood synonymous, and the main hue of the turtle is also green, over time, green King Eight, green head turtle, there is a different meaning, green, it will make people think of wrong.
The second theory, like the faucet incident at the beginning, also comes from a cheating story.
One said it was a couple, and some said it referred to a tang dynasty reader named Li Yuanming, of course, it did not matter.
Like almost all green hat incidents, the man did not have much time at home, thus creating opportunities for his wife to hook up with the old king next door.
But often walk by the river, everyone is afraid of wet shoes, it is rumored that once almost overturned, so for the sake of safety, and the next door Lao Wang agreed on a secret code, the wife made a certain green hat for her husband at that time, as long as she saw her husband wearing a green hat out, this is a safety signal. As an aside, is this the earliest green light pass?
It is very similar to Pan Jinlian's story
Of course, the paper wrapped could not hold the fire, and the adulterous affair between the two was still recognized, but as soon as the green hat was said, it was also passed down. This is also a way of saying it.
However, the third theory may be more reliable, that is, the theory of historical evolution.
In fact, in ancient times, green was not a "noble color", and its status was not very high at the beginning.
Spring and Autumn Period:
Zhai Hao of the Qing Dynasty wrote in volume 12 of the "Popular Compilation" that as far away as the Spring and Autumn Period, there were wives and daughters who asked for food, and the green scarf wrapped their heads in order not to be noble and lowly.
The meaning of this sentence is that people who sell their wives and daughters to eat, and those who live need to wrap their heads in green towels to distinguish between nobles and lowly, after all, this kind of behavior is indeed very bad. This is probably the earliest source of the green hat. The ming Dynasty Lang Ying's notebook "Seven Revision Drafts" also has a corresponding record.
Qin and Han Dynasties:
In the "Book of Han and the Biography of Dongfang Shuo", it is written: Dong Jun's green man Fu Tan, before following the Lord, his highness. This sentence is used to describe the lover of Princess Guantao, that is, the face of Dong Yan.
At that time, Dong Yan's charm was still quite large, and Princess Guantao was fascinated, and she did not hesitate to pretend to be ill to attract the visit of Emperor Wu of Han, thus giving Dong Yan the opportunity to meet the emperor, after all, although it was said that it was a dirty Tang stinky man, but the face head was still a plaything, and it was not possible to go to the table.
Dong Yan was wearing a green robe and kneeling in front of Emperor Wu, and the Book of Han specifically named The Green Man. The irony is evident because green is not a noble color.
Later, when Yan Shigu of the Tang Dynasty annotated the Book of Han, he directly made up a heavy knife. Wrote: Green Man, the clothes of the untouchables also.
Sui and Tang Dynasties:
During the Sui Dynasty, the Sui Book of Etiquette VII recorded the colors of various official uniforms, which wrote that the cooks were green, the pawns and the drivers were red, and the lifters were yellow. Cook, is green. Although it is not contemptuous, it is not a good representative.
When it came to the Tang Dynasty, the green hat began to be officially launched. Li Bai wrote in "Ancient Wind": "Who is the son of the green man, selling pearls is light and thin"
The Tang Dynasty notes "Fengshi Smell and Seeing" Volume 9 records that there was a county order at that time, appointed in Yanling, named Li Feng.
Li Feng's method of punishing his subordinates is very creative, he does not use corporal punishment, but puts a green turban on the people who make mistakes, the more serious the mistakes you make, the longer you wear them. Killing people is not too head-on, and in the atmosphere of ancient fame, no one dares to make mistakes easily.
But if you want to talk about the heyday of the green hat, you have to look at Yuan Ming.
Yuan and Ming Dynasties:
The "Yuan Dian Zhang" records that by the fifth year of the Yuan Dynasty, prostitutes wore soap shirts and horned scarves, and prostitutes' parents and relatives of men were wrapped in green turbans.
Translated as a sex service provider, they wear soap shirts (referred to as black short sleeves in the Song Dynasty). Parents and relatives of prostitutes, such as husbands, wear green turbans to identify themselves. It is conceivable that once the green turban is worn, people will be laughed at and pointed out when they go out.
When it came to the Ming Dynasty, this rule was also followed. In the Ming Shi Youfu Zhi, it is written that the People of the Sect often wear green scarves and wear the clothes of Beishi Shu. Everyone is familiar with the Church Division, right? After the minister raided the house, often the female dependents would be filled into the church department, which is the official performance institution and also has the function of a red light district.
So it was also during this period that green and green hats began to be formally linked to the words sex, derailment, etc. Turtle Gong, Turtle Slave and so on.
Qing Dynasty to Modern Times:
And the Qing Dynasty, although the habit of wearing a green turban was not followed, but the green still can not lift the head, the Manchu Qing Eight Banners, there is no positive green flag, right? Because the Han troops are called "Green Camp". The humiliation is quite obvious.
In the late Qing Dynasty, Wu Yanren wrote in the book: Don't be afraid of the turban dyed green, you must know that the top will be red. It is used to satirize those who offer their wives to the superiors in exchange for fame and fortune. The top is the official hat, and the red is respected.

But what can be found is that in this period, green, green hats were already not much different from today's meaning.
