(2) the origin of "untidiness"

People like to use "sloppy" to describe a person's sloppy or careless, but behind this proverb, there is a bloody story.

In the Song Dynasty, there was a painter in Beijing who often painted at will, and he didn't know anything. Once, he had just finished drawing a tiger's head, and someone asked him to draw a horse, so he drew the horse's body behind the tiger's head. Someone asked him whether he painted a horse or a tiger, and he replied, "So so!" " "When others don't want it, he hangs it in the hall. The eldest son saw it and asked him what it was. He said it was a tiger, and the second son asked him if it was a horse.

Soon, the eldest son went out hunting and shot someone else's horse into a tiger. The painter had to pay the master. His youngest son met a tiger when he went out, but thought it was a horse he wanted to ride, and he was killed by the tiger. The painter was so sad that he burned the painting and wrote a poem blaming himself: "Careless painting, careless painting, like a horse like a tiger, the eldest son shot the horse according to the painting, and the second son fed the tiger according to the painting." The burning of the thatched cottage has no intention. I advise you not to imitate me. "

Poetry is not a good poem, but the lesson is too profound. Since then, the word "sloppy" has spread.

"Loquat is not this kind of pipa"

Once upon a time, there was a dude who was lazy and didn't study hard. When I grow up, I often make jokes because I write typos.

One day his wife said she wanted to eat loquat. He took a piece of paper from the table and wrote some words on it with a pen. After writing, he asked the servant to buy loquat. His wife took the newspaper and read it. She burst out laughing. It turned out that it said "buy five catties of pipa". Two of the five words are misspelled, and the word "loquat" is misspelled as "pipa". After his wife saw it, she wrote a doggerel in the back:

Loquat is not this kind of pipa,

It's only my poor cultural level.

If the pipa can bear fruit,

The city is full of flutes and drums.

The guy blushed when he read his wife's poem.

The pronunciation of "loquat" and "pipa" is the same, and both pronounce pípá, which is homophonic. But "loquat" is a kind of fruit, and "pipa" is a stringed instrument, with completely different meanings and writing methods.

Miswriting "loquat" as "pipa" is a homonym mispronounced, resulting in different words. Writing other words is very harmful. Because the word "don't" is a mistake in writing A as B, which may cause misunderstanding. Imagine if the servant bought a five-catty pipa, wouldn't it make a bigger joke?

Chinese characters are ideographic characters. There is a certain internal relationship between the form, sound and meaning of most Chinese characters. For example, "Pi", "Ba", "Pi" and "Pa" are pictophonetic characters. The phonetic symbols of Pi and Ba are the same, so the pronunciations of Pi and Pi are the same, and the pronunciations of Ba and Pa are the same. Next to the word "loquat" is "wood", which means it is related to trees. "Loquat" refers to a fruit tree or the fruit produced on this tree. Next to the word "pipa" is "Jue", which means that two pieces of jade collide with each other and the jade will make a beautiful and pleasant sound. Pipa is a musical instrument that can produce pleasant sounds.

Establish one side and benefit one side.

Chen Yong, political commissar of the engineering detachment, told the reporter: "Building one side and benefiting one side is the western complex shared by every officer and soldier." They have completed more than 120 national large and medium-sized construction projects, and witnessed their touching deeds of helping people of all ethnic groups in the west to get rich and run towards a well-off society.

A few years ago, it built Yunnan Diqing Airport. Those people around the construction site who are doing nothing all day and watching the excitement have attracted Cao Dingguo's attention. "As an engineering unit, it is duty-bound to provide local people with opportunities to get rid of poverty and get rich!" The party Committee then made a decision to implement the principle of "three priorities" in project construction: giving priority to local materials and creating ways for the masses to get rich; Give priority to local mechanical vehicles and actively provide opportunities for getting rich; Give priority to the use of local migrant workers and build projects to enrich the people.

From then on, every time they went to a construction site, they actively carried out technical poverty alleviation activities, leaving a "construction team" for the western region. According to incomplete statistics, in recent years, * * * has requisitioned more than 50,000 migrant workers in poor and remote areas, and the per capita income of migrant workers is more than 3,000 yuan, bringing direct economic income of not less than 6,543.8+million yuan to all kinds of construction site people every year. They brought out more than 20 local construction enterprises and helped build more than 20 quarrying, processing and mining plants on the site, with an annual output value of more than 600,000 yuan. These teams, factories and mines have gradually developed into well-known local enterprises and become a new force in infrastructure construction in the west.

One year, a catastrophic flood occurred in Kangding, Sichuan, and construction machinery was urgently needed for disaster relief. The provincial government turned to the agency for help. At that time, the assault pavement construction was being carried out at Shuangliu Airport, and the mechanical equipment was very tight. But disaster is an order. They sent the best equipment and the best operators to travel day and night and arrive at the scene first. After 27 days of disaster relief, the brand-new bucket was worn out, and the operators rested for less than 5 hours every day, which made great contributions to dredging and repairing roads in the disaster area. Political commissar Chen Yong made a rough calculation. In recent years, they * * * sent more than 2,000 vehicles and 4,000 officers and men to participate in emergency rescue and disaster relief, and donated more than 2 million yuan to the disaster-stricken areas, which was highly praised by the local government and people.

Today, Jiuhuang Airport brings more than120,000 yuan to the local tourism industry in one day!
