Start with the word cheat

"Liar, liar, you are a big liar!"

Liar, fraud, deceit and deception are words we often use nowadays. Before deciding to analyze and study fraud, I I have a question, why does the word "liar" in Chinese mean "liar" combined with "horse" and "bian"? What does the meaning of "liar" have to do with horse? To this end, I searched Du Niang, listened to Lao Pu’s opinions, and listened to many stories and truths from the past and present with questions.

1. Meaning of the word

It turns out that the current meaning of the word "lie" has six aspects: the first aspect is a pictophonetic character, which means to jump on a horse. The second meaning is to jump on horseback and ride. The third meaning is related to collocation: when collocated with the word "stone", it means a stepping stone for mounting a horse. But it's different when paired with 'horse'. To cheat a horse, one means flying on the horse, and the other means seducing and teasing women. The fourth meaning most commonly used is to deceive. The fifth meaning is to transcend and cross over. There is also an example of a colloquial saying called lying legs (meaning to lift one leg sideways). The sixth meaning is seduction. Du Niang also found an example of a poem from the Qing Dynasty: "Mountain Tour" - Qing Dynasty - Xu Dachun "Every step you turn back, the scene changes from time to time. The more rugged you go, the more deceived you are."

2. Interpretation

Lao Pu’s picture of the interpretation is a very vivid explanation. The original meaning of deception is to get on horseback, and the conciseness and conciseness of the ancient text is something that really made me realize What I admire is that the word "over the mountains and the sea" we sing in today's lyrics can be a deceptive word in the expression of the ancients. It is this powerful association ability of ancient literati that gives new interpretations to ancient characters. The ancients believed that cheating was an extraordinary leap that was understandable to most people. Oh, to deceive a horse is to mount a horse, to deceive a wall is to mount a wall. In "Zheng He's Voyages to the West" there is "cheating the sea with a light sail", which means to cross the ocean in a big ship with a light sail... Look, You can deceive horses, walls, and seas, but how about you deceive ghosts? Just brag! Haha, this is the extended meaning of cheating.

Therefore, cheating is the ancients extending it to bragging and fraud by stepping on the horse. The ancients believed that extraordinary leaps are cheating. Since throughout the ages we have encountered many people who do extraordinary things and boast about things, they are liars.

3. Let’s talk about preventing fraud

When I understood this word of fraud, I felt a sudden enlightenment. Why is it suddenly enlightened? One of my jobs is to do a good job in preventing fraud among the masses. We classify and analyze local fraud cases, and conduct targeted prevention publicity based on the characteristics of the cases.

? In the past, we always explained what telecom fraud is. "The so-called telecom fraud means that criminals fabricate false information to set up scams through telephone, Internet, text messages, etc., and carry out remote and non-contact attacks on victims." It is a criminal act of inducing victims to remit money or transfer money to criminals." Then, based on local cases, various brochures and posters with common sense phrases and reminders for preventing fraud were produced. This year, in order to make it more convenient and lively, various mobile blackboard newspapers were also produced to facilitate publicity in the homes of rural farmers. However, fraud cases still occur.

? This is like our attitude towards work and pursuit of life. Through work, we can give everyone a copy of promotional materials and post promotional reminders in every corner. In the recent opening case, the victim also admitted that he had received anti-fraud propaganda. However, he was still deceived. Is it because we have not made anti-fraud propaganda deeply rooted in the hearts of the people? After analyzing the word "cheat", my opinion is: we have not been able to truly achieve publicity that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Why do we say this? Because our traditional analysis has failed to build a wall in everyone's hearts to prevent leapfrog deception and boastful deception... Today, let us start from the heart.

4. Start from the heart

Yes, now, let us start from the heart again. A liar is a person who goes beyond the ordinary, a person who boasts.

In my family, if I want to express my attitude in an exaggerated way, my wife will smile and say to her daughter, "Come and see, your dad is acting like a drama again." There is a saying about drama. It's called "Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills." There is another saying, "The world is a big stage, everyone is an actor, and everyone is an audience." There is a saying in classic comedy, "To be or not to be, that's a question." On the stage of life, sometimes we It’s all acting, and sometimes, we need to be ourselves! So, are we being ourselves when it comes to facing fraud? Or have we done our best?

In the previous case, Boss Yu clearly communicated face-to-face with Director Kong, and Director Kong refused Boss Yu’s bribe. Then Boss Yu felt that this matter was based on his understanding of the world’s so-called officialdom. There is still hope. At this time, just in time, a strange phone call came to him and told him, "Boss Yu, do you know who I am? Can't you recognize my voice not long after we separated?" Oh, Boss Yu's heart leaked at this moment "Is it Director Kong?" "Smart! It's me!" Faced with the bribery opportunity that had just been lost, Boss Yu was unwilling to accept it, so when faced with the unfamiliar voice and familiar tone on the other end of the phone, Boss Yu concluded : This is Director Kong. ‘But, the number is wrong? ’ ‘Hey, how can we use a public number to communicate about matters between us? Of course you have to use a secret phone number! ’ Well, the Cantonese accent is no longer important at this point. What’s more, judging from the reminders displayed on calls and mobile phones, they should be non-fraudulent calls from China Mobile. So what's the point of talking about it? Let's quickly talk about how much money can be used to show your dignity, right?

? The above is the process of my analysis. It's obviously a Cantonese accent, it's obvious that the other party doesn't know who it is, it's obvious that Director Kong has another number... Hey, there are too many Mingmings in this world, so let's get straight to the point! This is the first step from hope to disappointment. The road ahead will be easy. Although we don’t know each other, you need me and I am familiar with you. Although we only contacted each other on the phone for the first time, we have the same purpose. I need your money and you want it. Give me your money in exchange for greater benefits. When communicating with liars, we are often not just impressed by the liar’s boasts and extraordinary abilities. In fact, we have made a common mistake: deceiving ourselves and others.

? Is it just a case of self-deception? Of course not, this is just a typical characteristic of how we are deceived. When editing anti-fraud reminders in the past, I set up four questions before transferring money: First, why should I transfer money? Second, ask me if I really know the other person? Third question: Will I fall into a scam trap? Fourth question: Should I consult trustworthy people such as 110?

Today, after writing this second article, I also have four questions: First, what are the psychological situations between cheating and being cheated? Second, what are our misunderstandings about being cheated? Third question: Why do we get cheated? Question 4: How should we build a defensive embankment from the bottom of our hearts and solve the problem? In the subsequent writing, I will break down the cognitive architecture of cheating and being cheated one by one, and build a multi-dimensional fraud firewall with you who are reading. Thank you for reading. If you have any questions or opinions, please leave a message after the article! Attached is a paragraph at the end of the article, wishing you peace!
