The origin of the tortoise?

One day, I had dinner with a Wang Xingren. He was very sour and wanted to invite him to dinner. So I asked everyone, "Why is it called turtle instead of nine?" Naturally, no one can answer. Wang Xing's friend didn't like it, so he said, "What you said makes sense, I'll drink a bottle, and vice versa." Everyone looked at me and I cleared my throat. Everyone has a hundred surnames, right? Zhao Gan Sun, Wu. How many places do you think Wang Xing has? Gaga.

The true origin of turtles ...

There were various theories about the origin of the name "turtle". For example, according to the records in History of the New Five Dynasties and Family of Former Shu, "turtle" refers to Wang Jian, the former owner of Shu in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. Because Wang Jian was a hooligan when he was young, he specialized in stealing donkeys, slaughtering cattle and selling illicit salt. Wang Jian ranks eighth among his brothers and sisters, so everyone in his hometown calls him a "thief bastard". Another way of saying it is that the homonym of "turtle" or "forgetting eight" refers to people who have forgotten the eight virtues of "courtesy, righteousness, shame, filial piety and faithfulness". (See Zhao Yi's Examination of Jade Cong) Although the above two statements are not unreasonable, the "turtle" mentioned in them is not taboo among the people.

The folk taboo "turtle" refers to the tortoise. Because "tortoise" is another name for tortoise. (Turtles are commonly known as "turtles" among the people) Why are turtles also called turtles? Just look at Historical Records Biography of Turtle Policy. In this Biography of Turtles, the author divides the "turtles" into eight kinds according to the legends predicted by the ancient three kings and five emperors with "turtles" and yarrow, supplemented by the records of Chu, a historian of the Western Han Dynasty. Every species has a name, and the eighth species is called "Wang Gui", so future generations will call this eighth turtle "Wang Gui" for short. Over time, "tortoise" has become another name for tortoise, and people often put tortoise and tortoise together. For example, in Yong Xi Yue Fu compiled by Guo Xun in the Ming Dynasty, there is a poem "The preface to swimming and breaking laurel", which connects "turtle" with "turtle" and refers to the same kind of person: "The waist of shrimp, the generation of turtle, jade chain can not be tied with incense; A turtle cover with high ridge, thin twist and green fur. " It can be seen that the so-called "turtle" refers to the tortoise, which is an alias of the tortoise. Because turtles are also commonly known as turtles, people must avoid calling them "turtles" at the same time.
