Interesting linguistic phenomena in Chinese

February 2 1 Day is International Mother Language Day, and languages in different countries have their own characteristics. I love Chinese, not only because I come from China, but also because Chinese is full of charm and interest. Chinese is very clever, so it has a lot of fun.

In a few months, it will be the annual college entrance examination. Do you know why the college entrance examination is scheduled for June 7th and 8th? Because that's "admit it (678)". Of course, this is a joke. China homophonic jokes abound.

There was a farmer selling fish in the market and he shouted to passers-by: "fresh fish!" " Fresh fish! "Next to it, a bubble gum seller shouted," Bubblegum! Bubble sugar! " So the two of them quarreled. A bean sprout seller across the street kept shouting, "Bean sprouts! Bean sprouts! " So the three of them quarreled as a bee.

Do you know why? Originally, the fish seller was called "fresh fish" and the fish seller was called "soaking in sugar (soaking in water)". The fish seller would definitely say, "Why did you scold my fresh fish for soaking in water!" So they quarreled. The seller of bean sprouts has always been called "bean sprouts (fighting), bean sprouts (fighting)", and the seller of fish and sugar will definitely say gloating, so the three quarreled.

There is another joke: a county magistrate with a strong accent went to the village to give a report: "Rabbit, shrimp, pig tail!" " No pickles, pickles are too expensive! "(Actually, comrades and villagers, pay attention! Stop talking and have a meeting now! ! )

He also said, "I'll pick up a piece of shit and lick it for you" (actually, I'll tell you a story)

The magistrate said, "Rabbit, the dog ate today's meal, and everyone is chinemys reevesii!" " "(Actually, comrades, that's enough for today. Everyone is a big bowl! )

Let's tell another joke. It's also the accent. A young man came down first. His Mandarin is not very good. He passed a stall and was a little hungry. He said to the boss, "Boss, how much is it for one night?" (A bowl of steamed bread) "The proprietress stared at him. He thought there was no steamed bread and asked, "How much is it to sleep for one night? (A bowl of jiaozi).

Because of homophonic, some people's names are funny. The funny names recorded in the public security account system are: Liu Chan; Yang Wei; Fan tong; Summer; Qin Shousheng; Stone; Meng Yi. Everyone knows where the problem is! Parents should pay attention to naming their children in the future!

Some two-part allegorical sayings in China are homophonic, such as:

Wash coptis chinensis by the river-why did you suffer from the river?

A man gives birth to a child-a man gives birth (dystocia)

The poor carpenter started his business ―― only a saw (only one sentence).

Homophony is a joke that uses homophones or homophones of Chinese characters to replace words with homophones or homophones. Similarly, Chinese expressions are also very interesting.

Another joke: a foreigner just learned Chinese. He visited a friend's house in China and asked how to learn Chinese. A friend told him, "In China, we usually add a' sub' after an object noun, such as' table' and' cabinet'." The foreigner nodded. At this moment, China's friend's wife came back with a watch in her hand. The foreigner shouted, "Wow! What a beautiful bitch! "

There is also a historical legend: during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, one year the Xiongnu in the north sent someone to send a gauntlet, which read, "Heaven takes rice." The emperor couldn't understand the meaning of these four words for a long time. He called civil and military officials to study them, and no one understood them. The emperor had to post a list to recruit talents.

A man named He Tang revealed the list and said, "I understand this' four words' and have plans to retreat." The emperor ordered him to explain in detail.

He Tang said: "In my opinion,' Heaven' is also Heaven; "Heart" is also in the Central Plains; Those who are' meters' are also holy. Take the rice of the heavenly heart, that is, take our country and take the position of the holy dragon. " Say that finish, then put a pen in the middle of the word "day" and it became the word "no"; A long apostrophe is added between the right two points of the word "heart" to become the word "must"; At the top left of the word "take", the word "dare" was added; Add a horizontal line above the word "rice" and change it to the word "come", that is, change the Xiongnu's "heavenly heart takes rice" to "may not dare to come" and ask the emperor to send officials back to Xiongnu.

Seeing that "you may not dare to come", the Xiongnu leader must have taken precautions and hastily ordered the troops to retreat and cancelled the invasion plot.

There are many interesting phenomena in Chinese. For example, when you say "sunbathing", you are actually sunbathing. Fire officers and soldiers often go to put out fires, but in fact they are not "putting out fires", but putting out fires; Although "finally" and "finally" have a negative "no" and a no, they all have the same meaning, and so do "disgusting" and "awesome". "China trounced Japan" and "China trounced Japan" are the same.

Among the top ten most difficult languages in the world, China Chinese is recognized as the most difficult language in the world, ranking first. For Europeans, their thinking inertia is different from ours in China. Are you proud that you often speak Chinese? I would like to appeal to everyone to speak standard Chinese and less online language.
