Students are often confused about this. In fact, there are many words like this, which we must know in the process of learning ancient Chinese.
The ancient age appellation came from different sources, most of them were named according to the physiological characteristics of different ages, but some of them followed the words of their predecessors and became fixed names. Of all age appellation, the title "ninety" is the most interesting.
Or "mackerel back", mackerel is a kind of fish, and the stripes on its back are like the wrinkled skin of an old man.
In old age, senile spots appear on the skin, such as the skin of frozen pears, so it is also called "frozen pears". There are also names based on physiological characteristics, for example, people are called "babies" at birth because they need to be held on their chests to feed them.
Babies can pass fake, fake breasts. A baby is a child held on his chest.
Seven-year-old is not only called "mourning", but also called "losing teeth", so it is called because it is the period of changing teeth. Fifteen years old is called "child" and "when there is no vegetation on the mountain, it is called" child ".
Ancient 16 years old adult, 15 years old men were not crowned, women were not crowned. Metaphor is used here.
In addition, what we often say now is "the year of establishment", "the year of no doubt" and "the year of know life" come from the records in The Analects of Confucius: "Confucius said: Five out of ten are determined to learn, thirty are standing, forty are not confused, fifty know the destiny, sixty are obedient, and seventy are not willing to leave." The Book of Rites, compiled by Dai Sheng, a Han Chinese, said: "Life is ten years old, twenty weak, thirty strong, forty strong, fifty ai, sixty, eighty and ninety years old."
Among them, there is also the saying that you are guilty for years. However, later generations often regard "infant learning" and "weak crown" as age appellation, which is probably the reason why the vocabulary of later generations has developed from monosyllabic to disyllabic. In China, there is also a tradition of taking the year of cadres and cadres as the calendar year, and 60 years is a round, so there is another saying that 60 years old is the year of flowers and flowers.
Du Fu said in a poem: "Wine debts are common, and people are seventy or twenty years old." As a result, seventy has another nickname of "seventy years old".
Of course, in ancient times, there were more than these titles, many of which were scattered in various ancient books, but they were not handed down because they were used less. These mentioned above have been used by later generations because of their high frequency of use and strong vitality.
Some of them have also entered our daily communication, such as Standing at Thirty. For example, from the words "baby" and "child", we can't see the difference between history and today.
There is also: infants: less than one year old. Child: Two to three years old.
First year, teenager: the boy is eight years old. General angle: the general term for childhood.
The year of hanging steamed buns: refers to children. Yellow button: under ten years old.
Kindergarten: ten years old. The year of dancing spoon: thirteen to fifteen years old. Chronicle: fifteen years old.
The year of dancing elephants: fifteen to twenty years old. Weak crown: twenty years old.
Thirty years old: thirty years old. Age beyond doubt: forty.
The year of knowing destiny and knowing right and wrong: fifty years old. Listening to flowers: 60 years old.
Seventy years old: seventy years old. Age of the staff: eighty years old.
People in their eighties and nineties. Yi: centenarians.
At first, the girl was seven years old. Year of Chai Jin: girl 12 years old, cardamom 13 years old, girl 15 years old.
Jasper's youth broke the melon: the woman was sixteen. Tao: Female, twenty years old.
Flowers in love: female 24 years old. The year of plum blossom: getting married.
2. Why do some people say that rhapsody in July does not confuse forty? Forty years old is the age when the sun sets, and it is also the age when people know the world and themselves. Forty-year-old Tao Yuanming abandoned his post and retired, saying that "today is not what it used to be." Men over forty have ten puzzles about the change of ideas.
The first thing that surprised me was that I suddenly realized that administrative affairs were complicated and I was a nobody.
The second puzzle is that after the ambition faded, I suddenly fell in love with my family.
The third puzzle is that it is all-encompassing, or "a big belly can hold things that are difficult to hold in the world."
The fourth puzzle is to understand that the world is incomplete, beauty is incomplete, and the world will never be complete.
The fifth is not to be confused, that is, not to blindly believe in authority, to understand that people are similar, and many "potentials" are made.
The sixth puzzle is to understand that there are still many flaws in the civilized building that human beings have worked so hard to build.
The seventh one, I'm not surprised, is called "dare to speak" or "children's words are not clear", which always feels that people should tell the truth.
The eighth is not to be confused, which is called "acknowledging that everything has a destiny" and treating many things with a relieved attitude.
The ninth puzzle is that no one has broken the mystery and worship of the opposite sex and understood the perfect ideal.
The tenth puzzle is "nostalgia", thinking of the old people, old things and friends who have helped you.
Of course, the biggest confusion is to understand that we should take time to do things, because there is not much time left for ourselves.
3. What do you mean, Rhapsody in July is not confused? First of all, "confusion" is doubt, not the "temptation" of some knowledge. I didn't doubt the "four puzzles" until I was forty years old. This is the original intention, especially study and life. Confusion means that when modern people talk about Rhapsody in July without being confused, they have jumped out of the box of the original life, so we should not take it out of context, but take its extended meaning in combination with the original.
The original sentence is from Mr. Nan's The Analects of Confucius: Confucius said: I am determined to learn five out of ten, stand at thirty, not be confused at forty, know my destiny at fifty, listen to my ears at sixty, and do what I want at seventy, without exceeding the moment.
This is Confucius' self-report. Confucius was 72 years old. He reported his life experience and fighting spirit in a few simple sentences. His background is very poor. When his father died, he also had a semi-disabled brother and a sister. He has a heavy responsibility to shoulder this burden for his family. He said that when he was fifteen, he was determined to study. Fifteen years later, according to his rich experience and life training, he stood at the age of thirty. "Standing still, the principle of doing things remains the same. Decided to take this road in this life. However, there are still doubts and vacillations at this time. " Forty without confusion "is no longer a question.
I think the current understanding can be as follows: fifteen definite, thirty oriented, forty oriented, knowing that you should hurry up and do things, fifty aware of what you want, but not insisting, sixty watching and listening, and seventy not. O (∩ _ ∩) O. Haha, goodbye. Individuals are different.
4. A poem about a man at the age of 30.
Thirty years old
What is set?
It's all worry and melancholy.
And the hardships of life.
Thirty years old
Straighten order
There is a lot of resentment
Be cruel in your heart
Thirty years old
For the third time in my life, I failed.
Still can't get out of the sadness of the years
Cold wind and rain.
And cold moon plates.
Blow it on your body and pour it on your heart.
Shining on the rickety lonely lamp
Life as white as pulp
Not a ripple.
One person, two legs
Walking alone on the vast land
At the age of thirty, the future and the future are still slim.
And the woman who should have appeared a long time ago
And then the children.
Entangled my cold and helpless mood
What should I do? I am exhausted.
Heaven and earth are silent
Thirty years old
Confucius said: Stand at thirty, but don't be confused at forty.
My hands are empty.
What should I take to stand?
My clenched fist can only hold a handful of air.
Looking back suddenly, youth has gone.
Life is still pale in the eyes of a careful face.
The years behind us lost to the wind and rain in front of us.
The purity in my heart can't hide the sharpness of reality.
At the age of thirty, my vulnerability was cut again by sensitivity.
Dark red blood drops follow the numb nerves.
20 1 1 On the occasion of the Spring Festival,
Firecrackers are endless.
Slip a little.
I greeted her with a wry smile in my thirties.
Perhaps numbness will run through my endless life.
5. An article about the confession of a 40-year-old man. 40-year-old men also have privacy. Everyone has privacy.
And 40-year-old men, their privacy is almost related to a woman. Whether it's for love, sex, heart or anything else, I long for a confidante in my heart.
A 40-year-old man's appreciation of women is not only superficial. They can see a woman's heart through her face.
Gorgeous, plain, amorous feelings, complacent, all kinds of women floating in front of us. Suddenly one day, their hearts thumped, because they were attracted by a woman, perhaps by their own fantasies.
That woman has become their idol. They are ambitious to have the woman they love, but on second thought, they hesitate to miss every opportunity. Because a 40-year-old man has responsibility on his shoulders and morality in his chest, he is no longer young and reckless, and will not announce everything rashly.
Everything should be natural, subtle and natural. Firmly waiting for the best opportunity, they have strong self-control ability and can avoid many embarrassing situations.
A 40-year-old man is no longer curious about his wife and family, and even a little tired. In their eyes, women are more just scenery.
They only believe in instinct, not love. Of course, this does not rule out that some excellent women will be moved, which is also the opportunity they dream of.
However, even if they do meet, they will never write all their feelings on their faces and confide all their worries to each other like women. Compared with women who go through fire and water for love, 40-year-old men rarely show their true feelings. Even if they meet the opposite sex, their first thought is not love, but how to protect everything they have from being destroyed by love.
A 40-year-old man has read all about it. Know how to care about women from all aspects and how to capture women's hearts.
Sweet words rarely flow out of their mouths, but their simple words can move women; They sometimes snuggle up in a woman's arms like spoiled children, which makes a woman's maternal love come to life. Sometimes he looks like an old wise man, which makes women admire him. A 40-year-old man has a strong hands-on ability, and his ability to take part in accidental amusement is beyond the reach of those inexperienced little men.
At the same time, because there is no love, most 40-year-old men do not know how to cherish it. All they want is a confidante who can come and go at the drop of a hat, and all they have to do is be the king in an emotional realm. 40-year-old man, in the face of women, the most consideration is stability, not love.
No matter how hard a woman tries, her heart will not be moved. Even if the relationship with a woman is really inseparable, as long as the existence of this woman threatens his originally peaceful life, a 40-year-old man will decisively raise his knife and cut off all his emotions, leaving a woman's blood and tears on his face, and will never be soft.
A 40-year-old man is not confused. No matter who you are or what you do, a 40-year-old man will never abandon everything for an illusory love. For a man, it is like the rain on a winter night, a little trivial and a little helpless. It's a little cold and quiet, and a little calm.
A 40-year-old man was sitting in a teahouse, watching the colorful lights and glitz outside the window. He knows that even if he walks into the sea of lights, it is difficult to become a landscape. So, the dream of ten years old.
Meng Lang, 20, and Zhang Yang, 30, are just shallow teas in cups, getting whiter and whiter. The desire of a 40-year-old man is a cup of tea in his hand. Strong at first, bitter in the middle, and weak later.
A 40-year-old man is used to an inherent smoking posture, from brand recognition, the way of unpacking cigarettes to how many cigarettes he smokes every day. Forty-year-old man, reason is a cigarette that can never be finished. He is clear when he smokes, silent when he doesn't smoke, and erratic between smoking and not smoking.
A 40-year-old man knows what to choose when reading. Poetry is too obscure, novels are too loud, history is too thick, and fashion is unfamiliar. So prose, essays, essays and biographies, Dong Qiao, Jing Liu, Ji Xianlin and Huang Renyu became the closest focus.
The mind of a 40-year-old man is a book that is often opened and closed. Someone read it, and the whole article is full of chapters, vivid and smooth. Nobody reads it, but it's obscure and rambling. A 40-year-old man knows how to make music calm his heart, erhu releases sadness, saxophone tells depression, Klaasman? Mei Niuyin explained vicissitudes and helplessness.
At first, it was for relaxation, balance and happiness, but later it became a knot, a lingering one, and an inseparable sustenance and dependence. Forty-year-old man, emotion is a Wang Yang's wanton, ups and downs of music, all by his own perception.
Touch yourself and look at yourself. A 40-year-old man learns to measure his steps. The steps during the day are the posture of survival, the steps at night are the extension of life, and the steps in the wind are publicity.
A 40-year-old man's responsibility is a deep and shallow footprint. Although there are big and small, there are positive and crooked, there will always be a little trace, which makes people pay attention and evaluate. A 40-year-old man seems to understand a lot at once and know the joys and sorrows of life and family. Whether it's joy or sadness, wind or rain, cold or heat, days are still passing day by day.
Forty-year-old men also have dreams. When they wake up, they won't linger, they won't be exhausted, and they will only think about how to walk steadily next. A 40-year-old man has had tears and smiles before he knows that laughter and tears are like the wind, which can't be stopped when it comes, but can't be caught when it goes.
If a 20-year-old boy is a beautiful scenery on the street, then a 40-year-old man is a towering tree, flashy but not arrogant, beautiful but not proud. While cleaning myself up, I am doing something that looks ordinary but is actually great.
Mature and free and easy, confident and steady. Therefore, a 40-year-old man is a man who knows the taste of life, and a 40-year-old man is still a beautiful scenery.
