What's the difference between having fun with Zhang and playing with tiles?

The joy of playing tricks and playing with tiles is the congratulations of ancient relatives and friends when they gave birth to children. The fun of teasing is to congratulate the family on the birth of a boy, among which? Zhang? This word represents flawless jade, and it also represents that the little boy who congratulates his host family can be as noble and respected as jade. The joy of playing with tiles is a kind of congratulations to the family that gave birth to a little girl. What is the fun of playing with tiles? Watt? It's not a tile on our usual beam, but a part on the spinning wheel used by ancient girls for sewing. The word "joking pleasure" also means congratulating the little girl on her ingenuity and good at needlework. These two words actually existed after the Zhou Dynasty, which is a long-standing folk custom. But these two words are generally used to congratulate aristocratic families, because neither jewelry nor spinning wheel was owned by ordinary people at that time.

The words "fun of teasing" and "fun of teasing" come from the Book of Songs. There is also an allusion to the word "playing Zhang Zhile" in Old Tang Book. The story goes like this: there was a prime minister named Li in the Tang Dynasty. He is a prime minister with shallow knowledge, but he usually likes to quote classics and show off his knowledge. Li's brother-in-law, his wife, gave birth to a son. Li is very happy and intends to write a sentence to congratulate them. So he wrote: I heard it was a celebration, but I didn't expect this sentence to make a joke. So what did he write in this sentence? Hey? Is there joy in playing tricks in words? Zhang? Not a word. This sentence is ironic, because it is in praise of Qu? Hey? Represents an ancient species called snapper. Deer animals, in fact, here refers to the irony of livestock, and the original Zhang represents Meiyu. Although these two words have the same pronunciation, their meanings are very different, which leads Li to make a very big joke. The book of the Old Tang Dynasty also recorded this incident to satirize the shallow literati of that generation.

So in the future, when congratulating families with newborns, you can use words like "teasing joy" or "teasing joy" to congratulate them. But don't use it wrong!
