English is still the sixth chapter of Jin Ping Mei Hua Ci. ※.

The source of the canon is indeed Jin Ping Mei Hua Ci. My mother is relieved because of Wuniang over there.

His cat scratched a brother's hand and made a scene.

Dad came home and asked his mother, but he didn't say anything.

Allusions show that "mulberry" refers to mulberry and "locust tree" refers to locust tree. Obviously it refers to mulberry trees, so this idiom is used to describe beating around the bush.

If we want to discuss why we should compare Sophora japonica with mulberry, it may be because Sophora japonica has always been the representative of the government. For example, Zhou Li Qiu Guan's "Chao Shi" said, "There are three locusts in front of you, and there are three positions." 」

It means that in the Zhou Dynasty, three locust trees were planted outside the imperial court. A surname, a teacher, and a Taibao are in the air and should face the three locust trees.

Wang You, assistant minister of the Ministry of War in the Song Dynasty, once planted three kinds of flowers in the court himself, saying that his descendants must have three treasures.

Later, his son really became the prime minister, and the world called him "the King of Sanhuai".

In the Legend of Conan's Satrap written by Li Gongzuo in the Tang Dynasty, it is said that Chunyuba was drunk, lying under a locust tree, dreaming of the Great Huai 'an Kingdom, and became an official of Conan's Satrap.

After waking up from my dream, I realized that the wild country was originally an ant nest under the locust tree.

Here, Sophora japonica is also used to represent the government.

As for mulberry, it is a common agricultural plant among the people and can be used as a representative of ordinary people.

Pointing at the mulberry tree and cursing the locust tree can be interpreted as that the people are afraid of power and vent their dissatisfaction with the government on the mulberry tree! There is a passage in Jin Ping Mei Hua Ci that Li Pinger was bedridden because his son Guan Ge was scared by the cat in Wu Niang Pan Jinlian's room, and he died as a result.

When Wang Guzi came to see her, the maid took the opportunity to complain that it was all Mrs. Wu's cat. Wu Niangzi refused to admit her mistake, and after Li Pinger's son died, she pointed to the mulberry tree over there and scolded the locust tree every day, praising it in every way.

Here is the idiom "pointing fingers at mulberry and cursing trees".

Sometimes, it is also called "talking about mulberry". For example, in the first and sixth chapters of A Dream of Red Mansions, Wang Xifeng told Jia Lian about the difficulties of Jia's housekeeper.

If you want to do something wrong, these people will take it as a joke; If they are a little biased, these people will complain about "pointing fingers at mulberry trees."

Because Wang Xifeng is the host family, if these servants want to complain, they have to point to mulberry trees and scold locust trees.

There are more popular expressions of this idiom, such as "pointing to pigs and pointing to dogs" and "monks pointing to baldies", all of which have the same meaning.
