The humiliation of this couplet is too obvious. Eight-Nation Alliance was compared to eight kings, riding on China's head. All the honest officials present at that time were embarrassed. Fortunately, there are still capable people who immediately replied to a couplet: ghosts and ghosts.
This is the first time in my life that I came into contact with the word Chiyou Liang, lamenting that Chinese characters are really profound and profound, and at the same time I became interested in the meaning of Chiyou and Huangdi. It is said that when Chiyou fought against the Yellow Emperor, he summoned all the demons in the world.
Broadly speaking, this word refers to all kinds of monsters, ghosts, monsters and gangsters, so what does it actually mean?
The word "ghost" comes from Zuo Zhuan, which is very old. What is this? According to Ci Hai, Qi was born of different mountains and rivers, which is the same as ⅲ? Do you stop at the end of the picture? ぃ? Screen fatigue? Knock on the stool to restore wages? Make a p? It has also been explained that Kuai is a beast. Generally speaking, Kuai is a natural beast, just like the dragon in the mountain.
The explanation of charm is much simpler. The annotation of Shuo Wen Jie Zi says that the old and refined things mean verve. Zheng Xuan also explained that charm is the god of all things. Simply put, a thing will get better if it is left for a long time. This essence is charm, and charm is generally related to people. People and goods are easy to become refined, that is, they will produce charm.
It's a word, which doesn't make much sense separately. What is it? There are two versions. One is recorded in the ancient book Arbitrary. It is the son of Zhuan Xu, one of the Five Emperors. After his death, he became a plague ghost who spread diseases, so he called it.
One is recorded in the ancient book Guoyu. The monster of wood and stone is called a ghost, which is simply equivalent to the monster of tree people and stone people, but it often appears in modern movies and games.
To sum up, ghosts are mountain gods, physical gods, wooden monsters and stone monsters, and they can also be said to be monsters based on animals, plants, wood and stones. Think of the orcs, tree people and stone men in droves during the war between Chiyou and Huangdi.
However, when the Yellow Emperor blew his horn and made a sound like dragons, the monsters and ghosts all over the mountains dispersed in a hubbub, showing that they were all rabble. Since then, ghosts have become synonymous with the mob.
I am a salted fish master, thank you for your support.
