Philosophy in Chaoshan proverbs

The idiom "ten mouths and nine warehouses" is used to satirize people who talk too much, don't pretend to understand, and love to comment indiscriminately. "Cang Cang" means ass. Nonsense is often compared to "fart", so a dirty mouth that can't spit ivory is also compared to ass.

Once upon a time, a family built a new house and invited a famous painter to paint a mural. The painter has a lot of things to do. He is busy all day. When he comes to his master's house, he will start writing. Ten people in this family, except one child, all gathered here to express their opinions. Some want to draw this, some want to draw that, and then quarrel because of disagreement. For a long time, no one allowed anyone, and there was no result. In the end, the painter had to make a decision. The painter who has been painting vigorously, after this ordeal, is very upset and regrets wasting precious time. So he didn't say a word, picked up a brush and quickly drew ten chickens, each with its own posture, lifelike, lifelike. The painter was about to collect the pen when a child suddenly shouted, "Hey, why are there only nine chicken butts and ten chicken mouths?" Everyone noticed that a chicken was hiding behind a stone, and only its head was exposed. The painter took the child's words and said with a smile, "This is called' ten mouths and nine warehouses'!" It turns out that this is the painter's indirect satire on the host family.
