What does semantic pun mean?
Shi Zhongli was the foreign minister of the Song Dynasty. He and some friends went to the Royal Garden to see lions. One of them sighed: "This lion is fed meat by the court every day. We are not as good as lions as officials! " Shi Zhongli said, "Of course, our official title is Yuan Wailang. How can it compare with the lion in the imperial garden?
"Yuan Wailang" is homophonic with "Wolf outside the garden", which refers to both Yuan Wailang and the wolf outside the garden. In contrast to the lion in the garden, it is humorous, playful and interesting.
This kind of pun is called homophonic pun, which uses the homophonic relationship (homophonic or similar) of words.
After the monkey died, he went to see the king of hell and asked for an afterlife.
The prince said, "If you want to be an adult, you must pluck your hair." Just call the kid to pluck the hair. Only when you pull out one will the monkey scream in pain. The prince said, "Look at you, how can you behave?"
