the origin of two-part allegorical saying

two-part allegorical saying is a special language form created by Chinese people in their life practice. It generally consists of two parts, the first half is an image metaphor, like a riddle, and the second half is an explanation and explanation, like a riddle, which is very natural and appropriate. In a certain language environment, it is usually said that the first half, "rest" to the second half, you can understand and guess its original intention, so it is called two-part allegorical saying.

The name "Xiehou" first appeared in the Tang Dynasty. The so-called "after the five breaks of Zheng" (a kind of "after the break" poem) has been mentioned in the Biography of Zheng Gui in the Old Tang Dynasty. However, as a language form and phenomenon, it appeared as far back as the pre-Qin period. For example, "The Warring States Policy. Chu Ce IV": "It is not too late to mend." That is to say, it is not too late to repair the sheepfold after losing the sheep. This is the two-part allegorical saying that we have seen today.

Two-part allegorical sayings have distinctive national characteristics, rich flavor of life, humorous and intriguing, and are loved by the broad masses of people. Although ancient two-part allegorical sayings are rarely seen in written records, they are certainly circulated among the people. For example, Qian Daxin's "Heng Yan Lu" contains: "Sending goose feathers a thousand miles away is light and important, and it is also contained in the Song Dynasty." This kind of two-part allegorical saying continues to be used by people today.
