If asking what love is the greatest in the world?
The answer is undoubtedly maternal love.
Mothers selflessly bring us to this world, give us warmth, and care for us to grow; women are weak, but motherly love is incomparably strong, so that children are not hurt in the slightest, even weak mothers will stand up their chests to shield them from all wind and rain.
This is maternal love.
The greatest and most selfless maternal love in the world.
And if you talk about "poison", everyone doesn't have to think about it, and immediately associates it with all the insidiousness, treachery, like what: vicious, vicious, poisonous, poisonous... And so on, almost all of them are pejorative terms.
However, it is such a "poison" word that seems to be incompatible with the great mother, the selfless mother's love, why is there a "mother" word below, why is the mother and poison tied together, and what is the purpose of the word maker?
To answer this question, we must first find out where the word "poison" comes from...
Origin 1: The Legend of the Jianghu
It is said that in ancient times, there was a small kingdom called Bihuai, the king's surname was Du, called Du Huai'en, and the people of Bihuai were not good or bad under the leadership of Du Huai'en, in short, they could be considered to be passable.
Du Huai'en has a cousin (uncle's son) named Du Huaizheng, who is the prime minister of the Bihuai State, although this guy has already fallen into power, under one person, above ten thousand people, but he still wants to seize the throne, thinking that his cousin is unqualified, and wants to be the king himself.
So he waited day and night, always thinking of finding an opportunity to get rid of Du Huai'en, dreaming of one day being able to come to the world.
On this day, the opportunity finally came...
Unlike in the past, after the end of this morning's dynasty, Du Huai'en suddenly came to Yaxing and said that he would go to the ministers' house to beg for a drink and talk about work by the way. (In fact, I wanted to take the opportunity to see what the family situation of the ministers was, and whether there was any corruption)
However, the ministers seem to have already guessed the king's ulterior motives, and they all excused themselves, either the wife of the family is going to have an inconvenience, or the house is being decorated, and there is really no place to stay...
Only Du Huaizheng thought that this was a perfect opportunity to kill his cousin, so-called: the opportunity must not be lost and will not come again; so he did not think about it, so he took the initiative to accept it:
"Your Majesty, since it is inconvenient for everyone, it is better to go to my house... It just so happens that my wife is not born, and the house is not renovated, which is very convenient..."
When Du Huaien heard this, he was naturally very happy, and even praised his cousin for being very sensible, grinning incessantly.
......
In order to make the king happy and happily accept death, Du Huaizheng can be said to have made enough money, and the mountain treasures and seafood are all there, that is, even the "good days" of the wine that have been treasured for thirty years and are ready to be used for the daughter's marriage have also been taken out.
Du Huaizheng respectfully gave Du Huaien a "good day", and said modestly without smiling:
"Your Majesty, this is the best wine in the courtier's house, called 'good days', which is for the marriage of the little girl... Today I would like to invite Your Majesty to taste it! ”
"Hahaha, good!"
Du Huai'en smiled and closed his mouth, and was about to pick up the wine glass to "taste" carefully, but suddenly he was snatched by a crazy woman who came out and drank it all...
Only to see that the crazy woman drank the wine, and could not help but smirk:
"Oh, it's delicious, it's delicious..."
Du Huaizheng saw that the crazy woman had snatched the imperial wine given to Du Huai'en, and when even her face turned pale, she immediately put a hold on to the crazy woman and shouted to the left and right:
"Quick, quickly call Lang Zhong—"
While shouting, he kept slapping the back of the crazy woman, crying inexplicably:
"Mother, mother, how are you so stupid, this wine is made of broken intestinal grass, you, how do you drink it... ay! ”
It turned out that in order to make Du Huai'en braid, Du Huai was deliberately using the "good day" made of broken intestinal grass, but he did not expect to be drunk by the old mother who was mad and sick in the end.
This is exactly what it is: the organ is too clever to calculate, but it has missed the life of its old mother...
Fortunately, the rescue was timely, plus Du Huai was constantly clapping, vomiting out a lot, and finally Du Mu finally saved her life.
Du Mu saved her life, and Du Huaizheng was not so "lucky":
Murder of the king, rebellion, decisiveness...
The most tragic thing is that Du Huai'en seems to feel that he did not understand the hatred after killing Du Huaizheng, and finally issued a holy decree:
Since then, Du Huaizheng's family has changed their surname to "poison" and must not use the royal "Du" surname...
Admire this!
It is said that this "poison" word was specially created by Du Huai'en for Du Huaizheng's descendants.
You see, this "poison" is not a bit like grass on the upper part... It is on behalf of the broken intestinal grass, the following mother represents Du Mu, as for why read "dú", in fact, it is a derivative of Du Huaizheng 'Du' word, which means: this Du Huaizheng even her mother is going to murder, has not deserved the surname Du, should be called the second "dú".
This is where the word "poison" comes from.
This story is purely fictional and is hereby declared to be insufficient.
Note: It is said that there was once a family with a poisonous surname in Tw Chiayi County, whose ancestors were translators of the Qing Dynasty.
Origin two: the root is sprout red
Poison, in fact, was written at the beginning:
The above is actually the word "chè", that is, the meaning of grass and trees just growing, representing the meaning of life.
Below is the word "wú", which means forbidden, stopped.
Taken together, it is understood as the meaning of stopping growth and hindering life.
By extension, that is: xx something, such as man-made, animal persecution, nature... And other unfavorable factors, inhibiting the growth of life.
Later, after the popularization of Lishu, Chinese characters were simplified, and the original combination of "chè"+ "毋 (wú)" was eventually changed to the current "poison" character.
Later, the original meaning was further derived into a purely pejorative meaning of "vicious, poisonous".
That is to say, the original poison has nothing to do with the "mother" half-cent.
There is now an idealized understanding of "poison" with "mother" under the market, that is:
The original meaning of the word "poison" in addition to mean vicious, poisonous and spicy... And so on, there's a sense of pain, difficulty (think about it too: life is inhibited and growing must be very painful).
The reason why "poison" brings "mother" is because the mother after October pregnancy, childbirth, and finally bring the child to this world, it is indeed a painful, difficult thing, and the meaning of the word "poison" is consistent, so "poison" should bring "mother".
I think, in an ideal situation, it can indeed be understood in this way, because motherhood is indeed not simple, but it is best not to understand it this way, why?
Because it will cause people to misunderstand, over time, "poison" will subtly become a positive word, so that there will be no "poison" in the world.
In fact, whether it is "poisonous" or "mother", it is just a code name, the heart is not "poisonous", then people are not poisonous, people are mothers, then the heart has a mother, "poison" with "mother", in fact, people's hearts are mutually changing!
Chinese characters are broad and profound, and a word often has many understandings, just like the I Ching says:
The general rules are easy, the easy is changed, and the changes are general
In fact, Chinese characters are the same: the general rules are easy, easy is to change, and change is general; in short: there is no layer of unchanging Chinese characters, there is no layer of unchanged characters, only a layer of unchanged human hearts...
Just like the word "poison", everyone looks at it differently, everyone writes it differently, everyone understands it differently... Seeking common ground while reserving differences is where the road belongs...
Thanks for watching!
