Reading Notes [39] Dry

"Fuck", but I haven't seen Oracle Bone Inscriptions and Jin Wen. Xiao Zhuan is from country B, with a loud voice.

Shuo Wen Jie Zi records the word "gan": Shang, Chu. From B.B., things can be realized. In other words, the original meaning of "dry" is to point out the meaning of soil vegetation.

B, "like clover in spring", that is, the original meaning of "B", is like a plant bending and growing. So "fuck" comes from B. "Song" as a phonetic symbol, which means "the sun begins to rise and the light is beautiful." In other words, the original meaning of "Song" is the way the sun shines at sunrise.

The definition of "dry" in "Illustration of Character Class in Chengzhimeng School" is: the voice is sincere, healthy, dry, dry ... The summit is dry, and the summit is not angry, but the gas accumulates in the sky, so it is easy to dry ... The left is strong, and the right is dry.

The explanation of "Zike" shows that the word is polysyllabic, and there is a word "strong outside and dry inside" in Zuo Zhuan. As adjectives, dryness (dryness) and wetness are relative; Or the meaning of exhaustion, as mentioned above, "external strength is weak (dry)"; Also refers to recognized kinship, such as godmother. As a noun, it means dehydrated food. As an adverb, such as draining (drying), it has no residual meaning; Dry (dry) laughter is a formal meaning on the surface. In short, the word "Gan" pronounced as gān has been replaced by "Gan" at present.

The interpretation of Zi Ke still contains the original meaning of "Gan", which leads to Heaven and its derivative meaning, that is, it is the first divination of eight diagrams. Looking closely, as one of the eight diagrams, the word "gan" is pronounced as a hexagram. , representing heaven and yang. Is also one of the sixty-four hexagrams, dry (? ) do it (? ) on. It symbolizes that a gentleman should strive for self-improvement and never slack off. As a noun, it represents heaven, king, man and father; As an adjective, it means masculine, masculine and northwest. For example, in an old marriage, the man was called "dry" and the man was called "dry".

"Gan" is often used with "Kun", both of which are hexagrams in the Book of Changes, and later called heaven and earth, yin and yang, men and women, husband and wife, sun and moon. For example, in the "Looking for a Name", heaven is superior to the earth, and Gankun is positioned. Take the meaning that Gan and Kun belong to the category of Yin and Yang in the Book of Changes. They are the original biomass of the universe, opposing and restricting each other, and promoting the development of all things.

Another example is Du Fu's climb to Yueyang Tower: there is Wu in the east and Chu in the south, and you can see the endless drifting of heaven and earth. Gankun here refers to the sun and the moon, and Dongting Lake separates Wu Chu from other places, as if the sun and the moon were floating in the lake day and night.

The interpretation of "dry" is here, but there are still many places worth discussing. Finally, it ends with a poem written by Wang Mian, a poet of the Yuan Dynasty. You can guess what "Gankun" here means. Wang Mian was a famous painter, poet and seal engraver at that time. He was born in poverty, studied hard since he was a child, and became a success by self-study. I love plum blossoms all my life, plant plum blossoms and Yongmei, attack and paint plum blossoms, and have the title of owner of plum blossoms. Although Wang Mian was knowledgeable and brilliant, he tried every time, unwilling to bow to the powerful, so he lived in seclusion in the mountains and made a living by painting and calligraphy. The ancients often like to borrow things to recite their ambitions and describe themselves as noble, and so does this song Mo Mei. For the seniors, I respect their lifelong cultivation and persistence, and admire their sentiments and character. On the other hand, no matter how high the realm of personality is, it is limited after all. For us mortals, we still need to look at ourselves from time to time. Don't forget that those who are complacent often fall to the point of inferiority.

Mo mei

[Yuan] Wang Mian?

The first tree in my family, Xiyan Lake, is full of flowers and light ink marks.

Don't boast about the good color, just let the air be full of dried Kun.
