What does the word weak water three thousand mean?

There are two versions of the origin of the idiom "Three Thousand Weak Waters": One: The original text allows three thousand weak waters, I only take a spoonful to drink. It comes from Chapter 91 of "Dream of Red Mansions" "Indulgence in the Heart Bao Chan" Since "Dream of Red Mansions" first had its influence, men and women have begun to use the cliché of "weak water is worth three thousand, only take one scoop". 2: 1. "Weak water" comes from "Shang Shu Yu Gong": "Guide weak water to Heli." Sun Xingyan's "Shang Shu Jin Gu Wen Commentary": "Zheng Kangcheng said: 'Weak water comes out of Zhangye.'" Note: In ancient books Among them, the word "weak water" is also found in "Historical Records of Dawan", "Hanshu of Geography", "Book of Later Han Dynasty of Dongyi" and Bi Yuan's Notes on "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". 2. The original text of "Three Thousand" comes from the three thousand worlds of Buddhism, and the Tiantai Sect's good words are three thousand in one thought. 3. The original meaning of "weak water": In ancient times, many shallow and rapid rivers could not be crossed by boats but only by rafts. The ancients believed that it was because the water was too weak to carry boats, so they called such rivers weak water. . Therefore, ancient books such as "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "Records of Ten Continents" record many weak waters that are not the same river but have the same name. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" records that "there is water in the north of Kunlun. Its power cannot beat mustard, so it is called weak water." This is what it means. Some names are still used today. For example, there is a weak water river on the current map of Gansu Province. "Weak water" is also used to specifically refer to the Po Yi River or the Black Water River in the northwest, and of course it is limited to specific geographical works. 4. The extended meaning of "weak water": In ancient literature, the word "weak water" was gradually used to refer to dangerous and distant rivers. The more famous one is "Penglai cannot be reached, weak water is thirty thousand miles away" in Su Shi's "Jinshan Miaogao Terrace". This is the first time that weak water is used in conjunction with a specific number. There is also a sentence in Zhang Xiaoxiang's "Water Dragon Song: Looking at Jiuhua Mountain", "The misty bead towers are foolish guards, looking at Penglai, there is no weak water at the beginning." The weak water sentence is rarely seen in other poems, but it is more common in later novels. 5. The formation of the term "Three Thousand Weak Waters": There is a poem in Chapter 22 of "Journey to the West" "The Tripitaka Never Forgets the Origin and the Four Saints Test the Zen Heart" that describes the danger of the Liusha River: "Eight hundred quicksand realms, three thousand weak water "The water is so deep that the goose feathers cannot float, but the reed flowers sink to the bottom." This is the first official statement of "Three Thousand Weak Waters". Mr. Lu Xun said in his "Supplement to the Collection of Collections: A Brief Treatise on Chinese Geology": "Although it is surrounded by weak water and isolated, what will happen?" Chapter 25 of "Dream of Red Mansions" also mentioned: " What does that Taoist look like: one foot is high and the other is low, he is covered in water and muddy. If we meet and ask where his home is, it is west of the weak water in Penglai. "This also means far away." Later, weak water was extended to love river and sea of ??love. This is the meaning of weak water three thousand in our mouth now. The first formal suggestion was made in the 91st chapter of "Dream of Red Mansions" "Indulgence in one's heart, Bao Chan's craftsman designed a doubt array, Baoyu talks about Zen in vain": Daiyu said: "Sister Bao is good with you, how about you? Sister Bao is not with you. How about you? Sister Bao was good to you before, but how are you if she is not good to you now? How about you if she is not good to you now? You are good to him, but he is not good to you. "You don't want to be nice to him, but he wants to be nice to you. What do you think?" Baoyu was stunned for a while, then suddenly laughed and said, "You can only drink from one ladle of water," Daiyu said. What can water do?" Baoyu said: "It's not the water that floats by itself, the water flows by itself, and the scoop floats by itself!" A slightly less known one is the modern poet Su Manshu's "The Broken Hairpin", which contains a dialogue: "Yu said: But the two beauties are beautiful. And love it. ** (The word is rare here and has not been found yet.) He sighed again and said: You should know the meaning of "Three Thousand Weak Waters". Then I asked: Who does your intention belong to first? Yu said: Shufang? " 5. "A scoop of drink" comes from "The Analects of Confucius·Yongye Chapter": "The Master said: You are so virtuous! You have a basket of food and a scoop of drink, and you live in a shady alley...". 6. The original meaning of "The weak water is three thousand miles long, but only one scoop is taken to drink." 7.
