What do students like to listen to?

There are many beautiful stories in Chinese class. Interesting stories about China can not only arouse people's interest and enthusiasm, but also help people to experience the things around them, and make them feel and enlighten. Here are some interesting stories about China that I compiled for you. I hope you like them.

Chinese funny story 1: The word "10,000" is full of pictures.

I'll tell you a joke: once upon a time, there was a rich man who hired a private school teacher for his son. My son learned "one, two, three", but before he learned "four", he thought he knew everything. The rich man listened to his son and knew everything, so he resigned his husband.

One day, someone asked the rich man's son to write an invitation. His son shut himself in his room and didn't finish writing for a long time. The rich man was puzzled and pushed the door into the house, only to see his sons slapping their shoulders one by one. The rich man asked his son, "What are you doing?" The son said grumpily, "This man has a bad surname, Wan. I have only finished painting more than 500 paintings since morning. "

Students may disdain to listen to such an old joke, and I just want to use it to attract jade, thus leading to the teacher's macro theory. Everyone knows that the word "ten thousand" will not be ten thousand paintings, which is basic common sense, because a square can never hold so many strokes. But which Chinese character has the most strokes? Is there a limit to the number of the same strokes or word-building elements in Chinese characters?

Teacher's explanation

This is a traditional joke, of course, this is just a joke. However, Sun's question is very good. It's really hard to answer which Chinese character has the most strokes. As far as Modern Chinese Dictionary and Cihai can be found, the word "rhyme" has the most strokes, with 36 paintings.

It is really an interesting question to talk about the number limit of the same stroke or component in Chinese characters. Chinese characters have certain regularity in the overlapping use of strokes. Horizontal painting is like "one", "two" and "three". The same is true for vertical paintings, such as "10, 20, 30, 40" written as "ten, twenty, thirty" respectively, while "five" or "fifty" is no longer an analogy. The same stroke in other Chinese characters is only limited to repeating three times * * *, that is, four strokes of the same stroke * * *, such as "worship, dance, concentration and nothing", and the last two words can be regarded as "double four" shapes. The concentrated use of word-building components is also limited to "four", such as "bad, device, affix and cool". There is an interesting word analysis diagram: four mouths share a picture, and the inner mouth belongs to the outer mouth; Five people hold umbrellas, and the villain is covered by adults.

"Tu" and "Umbrella" are the traditional Chinese characters of "Tu" and "Umbrella" respectively. There are five people in the umbrella, but this is one big and four small, not five people tied.

"Fei" and "Jiu" are six horizontal lines, but they belong to both sides.

China Anecdote 2: "Bird" and "Wu"

Life begins with literacy and confusion! The neighbor's little brother just started reading. When he knew "bird", he asked his father curiously: Does the word "bird" mean eyes? Dad said yes and told him that some strokes of Chinese characters are symbolic. For example, the word "rain" indicates raindrops; The horizontal line of the word "bolt" indicates the plug; The vertical meaning of the word "mountain" means a mountain rising from the ground. ...

Later, he saw a word "Wu". He confidently said to everyone: This "Wu" must be a blind bird! What our neighbor's little brother said amused us all.

Dad told him: "Wu" and "bird" are pictographs, and "Wu" is also the name of a bird, which is a crow. There is an idiom called "love me, love my dog" and "dog" is also a crow. The crow's head is black, so it can't be seen clearly. From this, "Wu" also extended another meaning: black.

If the little brother thinks, he nods again and again.

Teacher's explanation

Because of pictographic or referential reasons, many strokes of Chinese characters show the meaning of symbolizing entities. Point, horizontal and vertical are the most important strokes of structural Chinese characters, and their symbolic meaning is also very clear. For example:

Point: the point of the word "bird" indicates clear eyes; The dot of the word "egg" represents egg yolk protein; The dot of the word "state" indicates land above the water surface; The dot of the word "Gan" indicates food; The dot of the word "Dan" indicates cinnabar; The point of the word "blade" indicates where the blade is; The dot of the word "main" indicates the flame; The dot of the word "Yan" indicates the tail; The dot of the word "bear" indicates the foot; The dot of "Zhao" indicates fire. ...

Horizontal: the horizontal of the word "rain" represents the sky; The horizontal representation of the word "Li"; The horizontal character "Dan" indicates the horizon; The horizontal line of the word "extinguish" refers to something that covers the fire; The horizontal line below the word "Ben" indicates the root of the tree; The horizontal line above the word "for" indicates the position of the treetop. ...

Vertical: the vertical of the word "lead" means opening the bow; The vertical position of the word "you" indicates the way to enter the field; The vertical position of the word "A" indicates the bud of seed germination; The vertical in the middle of the word "Chuan" represents the water flow, and the vertical on both sides represents the shore; The horizontal and vertical lines in the middle of the word "Tian" indicate fields. ...

China's interesting story 3: "Dog Son" and "Prince"

Tomorrow is Sunday, and my parents said they would take me to the hotel to eat full moon wine. I am looking forward to it happily. When I entered the room, I saw an invitation on the table. There is a line on the invitation that caught my attention:

Happy son and happy moon ...

What does "the son of a dog" mean? I asked my father curiously.

My father told me: "Dog Son" is a modest name that existed in ancient times. " In ancient times, people's sons were called "dogs". "

Son of a bitch, that's funny! Don't you put down the dot on the word "dog" and become a "prince"? "Prince", the son of the emperor!

The strokes of "dog" and "Tai" are exactly the same, but the position of "three" is different, but the "prince" and "dog" they form are quite different, which is really wonderful!

"Do you know why the" three "of" prince "is below and the" three "of" dog "is above?" Dad asked.

I shook my head.

Dad explained humorously: "I think the emperor has many children, so he doesn't care about children, even the prince is only under his knees;" People are different. They raise their children to prevent old age and accumulate grain to prevent hunger, so they value their children and carry them on their shoulders. " Then he added, "I'm just talking nonsense. Don't take it seriously! "

Teacher's explanation

"Tai" and "Dog", one of which is signifier and the other is pictograph, are not related in word formation, but these two words give us an enlightenment: although the composition of Chinese characters depends on strokes, the number and shape of strokes, Chinese characters with the same number of strokes and the same shape are not unique, that is, different Chinese characters may be composed of the same word formation components.

We call this kind of different Chinese characters composed of the same pen shape and strokes "transferred pen characters". This can be divided into two situations:

First, convert the strokes into new words. Such as: home and burial, health and foundation, reaching and Zhang, being clear and tired, Lord and jade, Zhuang and pressure, field and old, and being a hundred years old.

China anecdote 4: the origin of "carelessness"

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.

Thinking: Please talk about the harm of carelessness.

China's fifth interesting story: "Loquat is not this 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 read it, she wrote a jingle at the back: "Loquat is not a pipa, because she can't read much." If the pipa can bear fruit, the city will be full of drums and flowers. "

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.

Being familiar with the structure of Chinese characters and forming the habit of analyzing Chinese characters will help to eliminate homophones.

Please list the stories you know about the misuse of homophones in your life.
