I believe many people have heard the saying:? Weak water is 3 thousand, just take a ladle to drink. ? However, although this sentence is widely circulated, what if we analyze it carefully and really understand it? Weak water? Not many people are meaningful. What's that? Weak water? 3 thousand weak water, only one spoon. ? What does this mean? Where did it come from? This is my opinion.
First of all, what are the records from ancient times? Weak water? Weak water? Refers to specific water names and place names.
As we all know, many ancient books have been preserved in the 5,000-year history of China. Shan Haijing is one of them. From Shan Hai Jing? Weak water? More than one. They appear in Laoshan Mountain, which passes through the western hills, and Kunlun Mountain, which is located in Xijing, Dahuang. In addition, it is also recorded in Historical Records, Hanshu, Houhanshu and Zitongzhi Bamboo Slips.
According to historical records, weak water can also refer to rivers. Weak water is generally located in the west or north of China, which is now Qinghai and Tibet. In fact, what is the name of the section of Heishui River from Jiuquan, Gansu to Ejina Banner, Inner Mongolia? Weak water? . In Historical Records, the world is divided into nine continents: Ji, Yan, Qing, Xu, Yang, Jing, Yu, Liang and Yong. In Yongzhou, the following contents were recorded:
Heishui and Xihe are just Yongzhou. Weak water is all in the west, Jing belongs to Weihe River, and there is it, and Feng Shui is secluded. Weak water, as for the river, the rest of the waves have become quicksand.
At present, this passage means that weak water flows westward, Jinghe River flows into Weihe River, Zhouqi River and Luoshui River flows into Yellow River. This record also proves that ancient times? Weak water? It means river. Moreover, there are many records in Shan Hai Jing: Laoshan Mountain, with weak water, flows westward to Luoyang. ? The weak water here also refers to a tributary of the upper reaches of Luoshui River in northern Shaanxi, and also refers to a river.
In addition, weak water can also refer to rivers that are too weak to canoe. Literally? Weak? It is light, which means that the buoyancy of water is very small and it is difficult to overturn. According to Shan Hai Jing, there is water in the north of Kunlun Mountain, and its strength cannot exceed mustard seed, so it is called weak water. ? In other words, weak water itself has no buoyancy. If you put a piece of grass on it, it will sink. This is why weak water also refers to rivers whose hydraulic power is too small to canoe.

But this man hasn't touched a drop of water. The Buddha was puzzled by this and asked him why he didn't drink. The man plausibly said, "There are too many lakes, and my stomach is too small to drink all at once. In that case, I might as well not drink at all. " And this story also tells us that people should not be too greedy and know how to live in dormitories. Although there are 3 thousand weak waters, I only need one scoop of water.
