Recently, an Italian luxury brand released an advertisement with the theme of "eating with chopsticks", which was questioned as discrimination and vilification of China culture, causing a collective voice boycott in the Chinese community. In the eyes of shallow people abroad, China's chopsticks are just "small sticks", but they don't know the cultural meaning contained in them. A pair of chopsticks contains China people's philosophical thinking about Yin and Yang, Fiona Fang, Gankun and equality, and also embodies the concept of cooperation, harmony, reunion and frugality.
In fact, there were many poems about chopsticks in ancient times. These poems can help people better understand the China culture carried by chopsticks. The following is a poem written by Zhou Chi in Jin Dynasty:
Chopsticks were originally called chopsticks in ancient times. It also has two other names, namely, hissing and hissing. It was not until the Song Dynasty (Ming Dynasty) that the name "chopsticks" began to appear. Why did you change chopsticks into chopsticks later? It turns out that the ancients paid attention to taboo, because "Zhu", "Jia" and "Zhu" are homophonic, which reminds people of stopping, hanging and turning over, which is not in line with people's psychology of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil. This truth is the same as today's people renaming "pig tongue" as "pig son" There is also a subtitle under the title of this poem, "Zhang Temple Imperial Title Limit Scarlet Rhyme", which should be added by Yuan Haowen, editor of Zhongzhou Collection. As can be seen from the subtitle, this poem is a poem that should be done. Zhang Miao is Hong Yanjing from Jin Zhangzong. Emperor is a title named by the emperor. Jin Zhangzong made a suggestion to Zhou Chi, a courtier, asking him to write a poem about objects inscribed with chopsticks, and restricted the use of the rhyme of "red".
"No matter how short the shape of the vector beam is, the color of the chip is red." Starting with throwing a pot in a banquet game, the vector beam is similar to the chip shape and appears on the same occasion, which has analogy significance. The throwing pot was born out of the shooting ceremony. Because the formal shooting ceremony needs a lot of space, and considering that sometimes there are many guests, some people can't shoot arrows, so the shooting ceremony later becomes a pot toss. There are many rules for smashing pots, which vary from time to time. The general way of playing is to throw arrows or similar bamboo sticks into the hip flask. If you throw more, you will win, and if you lose, you will be punished for drinking. In order to calculate the number of lenses and drinks, instruments are needed. According to the dictionary's explanation of vectors and chips, I guess that the instrument that starts to calculate the number of shots is probably vectors, but the vectors in the bag are called vectors, and the chips that are convenient to count are separated after shots. With the independence of drinking games from throwing pots, the ancients made another kind of bamboo ware, which was specially used for counting in drinking games. This kind of bamboo ware was originally called chip, but later it was renamed calculation for the sake of distinction. Of course, some poets use their old names. This poem says that "the redder the color, the better", and the color should be used for counting, not for projecting vectors.
Next, let's look at the eight sentences in the middle.
"There is nothing you can do without your spouse" means that a pair of chopsticks go hand in hand and cooperate with each other to serve the diners together; You can't do meritorious service if you lose one. This is the same as the saying that "a chopstick is easy to break, but a chopstick is difficult to break".
"Counting the sides of a bowl means operating in the palm of your hand", which means tying chopsticks to Chen Fang next to bowls, bowls, lamps and other dishes and grasping and manipulating them between the fingers and palms of diners. Vegetable jars are two kinds of containers, one is round, and the other is round. The ancients carved literary works on them or inspired them to learn dharma. Management knows everything, a little good planning, pointing out the mountains and rivers, and the taste of "talking and laughing is gone." These two sentences imply that the courtiers are calculating, planning and making contributions.
"Steamed dolphins pick cups, soup cakes mix with oil onions", which is written in Chinese characters that chopsticks are ready to help adults. You see, whether it's princes and nobles who eat bad meat or ordinary people who eat spaghetti with fried onions, they are all happy when they choose to eat. Xiang Heng used taboo allusions. According to legend, Si Marui, the emperor of the Eastern Jin and Yuan Dynasties, often ate spoiled head meat. "Biography of Xie Hun in the Book of Jin" records that "Jianye is the first town, and both public and private are embarrassed. Every time you get a dolphin, you think it is a rare meal, and you will have a You Mei around your neck. Don't dare to eat under the group, it is forbidden. " "No storage" means "fragrant storage", and later it is a metaphor for exclusive items that are not allowed to be contaminated by others. It is used here to refer to delicious food.
"Even if you are slandered, why not stand up straight and bow?" It means that even if you are being slandered by shameless villains who use their tongues to sow discord and destroy relationships, chopsticks can't change your straight body. Song Jing's allusions may be used here. At a royal banquet, Emperor Xuanzong presented the golden chopsticks in his hand to Prime Minister Song Jing, saying, "If you don't give me gold, I'll give you a chopstick to straighten your ears." The straightness of chopsticks is better than the courtier's character, which may be why. After reading these, we have a better understanding of the meaning of this poem. It turns out that chopsticks are used to compare the harmony between monarch and minister, and chopsticks are used to express our integrity.
The last two sentences, "borrowing so much is enough", use borrowed allusions. During the Chu-Han War, Liu Bang listened to Shi Li's suggestion to enfeoffment the descendants of six countries and asked him to send someone to seal the siege of Xingyang. Shi Li hasn't left yet, and Sean came back from the outside to see Liu Bang. Liu bang was eating and said, "ovary, come here!" " A guest designed for me to weaken the power of Chu. "Then he told Sean what Shi Li said, and then asked," What do you think of this? " Sean said, "Who came up with this idea for your majesty? Your majesty's great event is coming to an end. " Liu Bang said, "Why?" Sean replied, "I borrowed your old chopsticks to lift it for your majesty. "I ask you to allow me to plan the situation for the king with chopsticks in front of you. Later, because "borrowing" refers to giving people calculations and plans, it is also "transportation" and "planning". Finally, the poet said, if I am allowed to plan with chopsticks in front of the holy family like Sean, I will certainly make sincere suggestions, enlighten the deep soul of the holy family, and understand the sincere loyalty of serving the holy family and the country as a courtier.
Poetry about things focuses on vivid description, which means never leaving. This poem describes the shape, function and essence of chopsticks to express the integrity and loyalty of a courtier. I like these four sentences best. First of all, it tells us that a family or a country needs the spirit of unity and cooperation to succeed in business. A pair of chopsticks, like a couple, should support each other until they are old and never give up. First, "If you are slandered, why not waste your straight bow?" It reminds us of men who are indomitable after being slandered by gossip.
Although this poem is a propositional work, we can clearly see the author's integrity, Geng Jie's personality and quality, which are not seen by ordinary submissive literature and flattery literature. How did you know? Please see the author's ending. In the first year of Emperor Xuanzong of Jin Dynasty (12 13), Mongolian soldiers captured Jinan, and Zhou Chi refused to surrender, so he threw his two grandchildren into the well and died. Later, he was buried in Shouletang behind his house by fellow villagers. During the Qianlong period, Zhou Chi was listed as a brave man and made a biography for him. The word "loyalty" is worthy of a "being slandered, why not bow straight?"
There are two other things called chopsticks: one is fire chopsticks and the other is ice chopsticks. The former is also called fire chopsticks and reduced red, which should be similar to the furnace tongs we use now; The latter are icicles and ice. Firechopsticks are recorded in ancient novels. For example, in the sixty-first chapter of Yue Biography, it was said: "Wang took a look at the leaflet and wrote seven words on the charcoal ash in the furnace:' It is easy to tie a tiger, but difficult to set it up'". The pillar of fire became an accomplice in killing Yue Fei. The fiftieth cloud in A Dream of Red Mansions: "Xiangyun takes a bronze fire stick to hit the stove", and the fireworks are full of gas. Here is an allusion to Zhu Bing. Wang Renyu, a five-generation man, recorded in the "Tianbao Legacy of Kaiyuan": "It snows from winter to day, the sun shines high in the afternoon, and the eaves are slippery due to cold. The princess asked the servant to knock off two pieces to watch. The emperor returned to the yamen at night and asked the princess,' What are you playing?' The princess smiled and replied, "The people I play with are cold." "From here, we can see that Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei are really an interesting couple. The well-known spring sleep of begonia is an example. Here is another example. Here are two ancient poems about fire chopsticks and ice chopsticks. Please taste different chopstick cultures for yourself:
Finally, attach a pair of couplets carved with chopsticks that I wrote:
Write articles synchronously with Ceng Laoshi.
Lesson 4: Alleviate the problem that the words used in writing are not in place, and use this trick to get quick results.
Lesson 3: With this secret, Ceng Laoshi won more than the "Badashanren Cup".
Lesson 2:? "Oriental Sun City", Ceng Laoshi wrote such couplets as Sun Temple.
Lesson 1: Writing in this way in Yutian Temple can greatly increase the chances of winning the prize.
