One:
I only take a ladle to drink, even though the water is weak.
The origin of a dream of red mansions, the ninety-first time, is "designing a cloth puzzle and Baoyu talking about Zen"
The influence began in A Dream of Red Mansions, and both men and women vowed to use the rhetoric of "weak water of 3,000, only one ladle". It is easy to understand that there is a lot of water, only a small part. By extension, for love, there are only 1 woman among many women. The whole sentence is single-minded about love.

3 "weak water" original meaning:
In ancient times, many shallow and fast-flowing rivers could only cross the border by rafts instead of ships. The ancients thought it was because the water was too weak to carry a boat, so they called such a river weak water. Therefore, many weak waters with the same name but different rivers are recorded in ancient books such as Shan Hai Jing and Ten Kingdoms. "Shan Hai Jing" records: "There is water in the north of Kunlun Mountain, so it can't beat mustard seeds, so it is named weak water." That's what I'm saying. Some appellations are still in use today, such as a weak river on the map of Gansu Province. "Weak water" is also used to refer to the Poyi River or Heishui River in the northwest, and of course it is limited to specific geographical works.
4. The extended meaning of "weak water":
Weak water is gradually used to refer to dangerous and distant rivers in ancient literature. The more famous is Su Shi's Gao Tai of Jinshan Temple, "Penglai is unreachable and Wan Li is weak." This is the first time that weak water has used specific figures. There is also a saying in Zhang Xiaoxiang's "The Hidden King of the Water Dragon Jiuhua Mountain" that "the misty Pearl Tower looks at Penglai with a blind eye, and there is no weak water." Weak sentences are rare in other poems, but they are common in later novels.
