1, Qu (Pinyin: qū,) is a first-class standardized Chinese character (commonly used word). This word first appeared in Shang Dynasty Oracle Bone Inscriptions and Shang Dynasty bronze inscriptions, and its ancient glyph is like a ruler, like some kind of sericulture equipment. The basic meaning of flexion is bending, as opposed to "straight". It also refers to irrationality and dishonesty. "Go" is also a noun, which refers to a curved place. Extension refers to partial and incomplete. "Qu" often refers to rural twists and turns. The sound of music is high and low, and both songs and music are tortuous extensions, pronounced qǔ. "Qu" is also a simplified word for "Qu". "Qu" refers to a lump that can cause fermentation and is used for making wine or sauce. Simplified and written as "Qu"?
2. One explanation for the musical instrument simulated by "Qu" is the musical ruler, and the lines on the bronze inscriptions represent scales. The ruler is curved, so "bending" means bending. Another explanation is the equipment for raising silkworms. Shuowen explains it this way: "Flexion is like the shape of the receiver. Or bend, the silkworm is thin. " The "thin" here refers to the silkworm curtain, which is an instrument for raising silkworms, like a mat or a sieve, made of reeds and bamboo. This meaning was later written as "foil". Xu Shen's explanation has two meanings: first, the simulator bends the shape of the object, but does not release the specific object; Second, the silkworm is thin, that is, silkworm foil, a kind of silkworm rearing apparatus made of reed or bamboo. In fact, silkworm foil is a kind of silkworm rearing equipment made of reed or bamboo, and it is a kind of bending equipment.
3. "Bend" can be used as a verb, meaning "bend", such as "eat and drink water, bend your arms and pillow it, and enjoy it". Used as a noun, it means "crooked place", such as Li Bai's "Xi Yu Chun Fu" in the Tang Dynasty: "Han songs are the pool of rivers." It is easy to associate "curved place" with remoteness, so "curve" also refers to "remote place" and "corner". For example, "Zhuangzi Tianxia": "Although it is not suitable for editing, a person with a song is also." A book: "A distant person." After the Han Dynasty, people called the remote branch lane from the house to the lane "Qu". For example, Jiang Fang's "Biography of Huo Xiaoyu" in the Tang Dynasty: "Jusheng Yefang Ancient Temple Song." People also call brothels "Qu", probably because most brothels are located in hutongs. For example, Pu Songling's "Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio" in the Qing Dynasty said: "Salty is not ugly, but the feeling is better than before, and I have never seen it again."
