"Five people and six people" in Yicheng population

The colloquial phrase "five people and six people" spoken by people in the old city is the same, with neat syllables and concise words. Because there is no idiom "hukou", it lingers in a corner of Anqing.

Anqing people are comfortable with "five people and six people", get carried away, be coy, follow the trend, pretend, etc., all of which can be included in this pocket book. "Five people and six people" converges the edge of the language, which is mysterious and unpredictable. The emotional color depends on the context of the speaker and the listener. In short, "five people and six people" is "putting on airs".

What is puzzling is: where did the "five people and six people" come from? There are five days in June, the earth is colorful, and people have internal organs. It's incredible how this spoken language "five people and six people" is agreed.

Searching for numerals in idioms, I accidentally found that the dialect "five people and six people" can occupy two unique skills in Chinese idioms.

There are many idioms with numbers in the second and fourth formats, ranging from one to ten, such as "say one thing, chop and change" and "walk upright". Even if it is nine, it can also be "nine to nine" and "one to ten", and adjacent "nine" and "ten" are also put together, but this format has no adjacent "five" and "ten". If the judgment is correct, this unique "five people and six people" has not filled a gap in idioms. This is necessary.

Secondly, the meaning of numerals in idioms can be found from their concepts and traces, whether it is too many words, too many words, too confusing words, too expressive words or too real words. It's just that the idiom "no, no, no, no", like the dialect "five people, six people", has lost its meaning, so it's not surprising that "no, no, no" negates the numeral. The figures in this "five people and six people" were played for nothing by the savvy Anqing people. No one knows how to guess "five" and "six", but they all got the message and used it skillfully. Isn't this a must?

Unfortunately, Wu from Qiantang and Quanjiao only knows "no three no four". Otherwise, wouldn't the "five people and six people" in Anqing dialect turn around and enter the dictionary of modern Chinese idioms?
