What is the saying?

As an oral, vivid and stereotyped sentence, common sayings are the word-of-mouth of the people, reflecting the fashion of the times and people's thoughts and feelings. Almost every field of human social civilization and every corner of daily life has its "lens", or praise, or criticism, or advice, all from the heart. There are many names of common sayings in history, such as saying common sayings, slang, common sayings, old proverbs, proverbs, vulgar words, constant words and common sayings. The range of common sayings is wide, including proverbs, slang and commonly used oral idioms. The oral creation of common people can be roughly divided into three types. First, the moral type, such as: "the snake swallows the elephant when the human heart is insufficient", "robbing Peter to pay Paul" and "telling lies with your eyes open"; 2. Descriptive types, such as: "Ten fingers are different", "When the eyebrows are wrinkled, the plan will come to mind" and "A soldier who is confused will be confused"; Third, the description type, such as: "a needle tip, a wheat awn", "an ant gnaws at a bone", "the prime minister likes to punt in his stomach" and so on. There are also intersections between them.

There is a phenomenon of mutual transformation and borrowing between proverbs, proverbs, two-part allegorical sayings, common words, idioms and even dialects, slogans and slogans. Their * * * features are that sentence patterns are free, long or short, and there is no fixed format. However, as the name implies, proverbs are more popular and less literary, so they are more flexible, popular, humorous and playful, and they are also better at describing the customs of the world. Such proverbs as "Beat a swollen face to fill a fat man", "Beat a rake from a pig" and "Steal a chicken without eating a handful of rice" are humorous and interesting, and also increase the expressive power of expression.

Although common sayings are common, they can be found everywhere in social occasions and literary works and are widely used. For example, Cao Xueqin wrote in A Dream of Red Mansions that "there is a long shed in the dry, and there is no banquet that never ends", which makes him feel elegant and elegant; "Relieve sorrow by drinking" has entered Li Bai's poem, which has become "raising a glass to relieve sorrow and make it more sad", and its connotation is richer. On the other hand, the famous sayings and beautiful sentences in ancient poetry have become common sayings, such as "You can't carve a rotten wood", "Listen to what you say and judge what you do", "Take pot calling the kettle black as an example" and "Don't be rude when you come", all of which are recorded in pre-Qin books and are still spoken by people today. Yu Wenbao's beautiful poem "Get the moon by the advantage of the water" is now circulated as a common saying to lash an unreasonable phenomenon.
