Joke: Why is the wife called "wife"

Dai is a story. "At the right moment, the idea of marrying a new person. Since then, there have been couples calling each other husband and wife, and fallen leaves have become old lotus roots! In the Tang Dynasty, the new grain was homophonic with the bride.

Mai Nian's wife's couplet: "Lotus is defeated, lotus is disabled: Mai is ripe, and his wife is old. His wife changed her mind as soon as she saw her husband: "Husband is fair." Mai also wrote couplets, so it is said that the title came from the Tang Dynasty. A scholar named Mai was moved by his wife's talent and love, so he got a husband from China. So, the wife began to write the following two words, wife, never forget the old love: "wife is old."

The story spread. "

Lotus is disgusted with wheat and straw, boasting that rice is now a new grain and his old lady. When the first couplet was seen by his wife, he wrote it down and gave up the idea of abandoning the old and welcoming the new. It has been 1000 years, which is not only neat and decent, but also novel and popular. He exchanged new grain for old lotus root, wrote the first couplet on his desk, and after he was admitted to fame.
