A short story about Chinese characters:

1. A joke caused by wrong characters. A story about Chinese characters:

Once upon a time, there was a playboy who was lazy and lazy since he was young. Don't study hard. When I grew up, I often made jokes because of typos. One day his wife said she wanted to eat loquats. He took out a piece of paper from the table and wrote a few words on it. After finishing writing, he called his servant to buy loquats. His wife took the paper, looked at it, and burst into laughter.

It turns out that it says "Buy Pipa for five pounds." Two of the five characters were written incorrectly, and "Loquat" was mistakenly written as "Pipa". After his wife read it, she wrote a limerick at the back: Loquat is not like this pipa, it’s just because of poor literacy back then.

If the pipa can bear fruit, all the flutes and drums in the city will be filled with flying flowers. This dandy boy blushed with embarrassment after seeing his wife's poem. "Loquat" and "Pipa" have the same pronunciation, both pronounced pí pa, which are homophones. But "loquat" is a kind of fruit, and "pipa" is a stringed instrument, with completely different meanings and writing methods.

2. The Chinese character story of "Chou'an":

In the early Qing Dynasty, the celebrity Xu Tao wrote a letter to a friend, and the word "Chou'an" was creatively used in the last congratulations. My friend didn't understand it when he first read it, but after repeated pondering, he suddenly realized that it meant "everyone has a long and happy life". When the word "chie" is broken down, it means "everyone lives a long life". The usage is very wonderful!

3. The Chinese character story of Niu Butuo:

A man named Li Anyi went to visit the rich Zheng Sheng. Zheng Sheng refused to welcome guests when he went out, so Li Anyi came to his door. I wrote a big word "afternoon" and left. When others asked why, Li Anyi replied: "It's just a cow that doesn't show off." Here, the word "Wu" is used to mean "a cow doesn't show off", to mock the rich who refuse to come forward to welcome guests. Such a clever split of the characters!

4. The Chinese character story of Tuan and Yuan:

One morning, "Tuan" was shopping and suddenly saw "Yuan". He went up to say hello enthusiastically: "Hello Ah! Yuan!"

"Yuan" said: "I don't know you?"

"Tuan" said: "We went together to give New Year greetings to others. Family reunion, why do you take off your coat when the weather gets hot and you don’t recognize me?”

5. The story of being beaten because of Chinese characters

A book When writing, I often write the wrong strokes. Once when I was making a roster, I wrote the word "阝" in the character "Chen" on the right side, and was slapped twenty times by the superior. From then on, the scholar remembered that "阝" should be written on the left side. Unfortunately, he wrote the wrong character "Zheng" again and received another twenty blows.

One day, a man named Nie asked him to write a petition. The clerk was shocked: "I wrote two characters for 'er' and received forty blows. You got three more." 'Ear', it's killing me!"
