In the 22nd chapter of "Journey to the West", Tang Sanzang wrote a poem describing the dangers of the Liusha River when he collected Sha Monk: eight hundred quicksands, three thousand weak water depths, goose feathers cannot float, and reeds sink to the bottom. This is the first formal mention of Weak Shui Sanqian. Mr. Lu Xun said in his "Supplement to the Collection of Collections: A Brief Treatise on Chinese Geology": Although 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 distant.
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. For the first time, it was formally proposed that in the 91st chapter of "Dream of Red Mansions", Baochan Gong designed a formation of doubts about the indulgence of the heart, and Baoyu talked about Zen in vain: Daiyu said: "Sister Bao is good to you, how do you do? Sister Bao is not good to you, how are you?" How about it? Sister Bao, she was good to you before, but now she is not good to you. How about you? She is good to you today, but later she is not good to you. How about you? You are good to him, but he is not good to you. How are you? If you don't get along with him, he wants to get along with you. How about you?" Baoyu was stunned for a long time, and suddenly laughed and said, "Even if there are three thousand weak water, I will only drink from one ladle." Daiyu said, "What can I do if the ladle floats?" ?" Baoyu said: "It is not the ladle that floats water, the water flows by itself, and the ladle floats by itself!" Daiyu said: "The water stops the beads from sinking, what can I do?" Baoyu said: "The Zen mind has become muddy, so don't dance in the spring breeze. "Qian." Daiyu said: "The first precept of Zen is not to lie." Baoyu said: "It is like the three treasures." From then on, men and women began to use the cliché of taking only one scoop of weak water out of three thousand. What is a little less known is "The Broken Hairpin" by the modern poet Su Manshu. There is a dialogue in it: Yu said: But two beauties love each other. ** (These two uncommon words are not in the computer and are replaced by symbols) He sighed again and said: You think about the meaning of "Three Thousand Weak Waters", you should know my heart. Then he asked: Who do you want first? Yu said: Shufang.
As for now, references to the Three Thousand Weak Waters abound. It has been mentioned dozens of times in the novels of Gu Long and Jin Yong. Every time the handsome male hero is harassed and pursued by a large group of young beautiful girls, he will say to the heroine: The weak water is three thousand, I will only take one ladle to drink. . Don't worry, then the male hero will bloom spring after spring. There are so many characters in Qiong Yao and Yi Shu's Mandarin Ducks and Butterflies novels that the solemnity that was originally a blood-based alliance became as ridiculous as Zhou Xingxing's "I love you".
