What does 202 13 14 mean?

Some time ago, a message caused a hot discussion among netizens. Someone put forward on the message board of local leaders of a website, hoping that the local civil affairs bureau can handle the marriage registration in March 1265438. But this day coincides with the weekend, and the Civil Affairs Bureau does not go to work according to regulations. In this regard, the response given by the local civil affairs bureau is: "It is not allowed to work overtime for marriage registration on legal holidays."

The netizen shouted that the Civil Affairs Bureau worked overtime for love on March 14, and won the homophonic stalk behind the auspicious day. The ancients were actually very enthusiastic.

Why are netizens keen on the date of 2021March 14 when they get married? It turns out that the homonym of 202 13 14 is "Love you forever".

In fact, not only do we modern people like the meaning of homophones, but ancient people are also very superstitious about the meaning of homophones.

The so-called homonym refers to the phenomenon that sounds are the same or similar. There are homophones in Chinese because there are a huge number of Chinese characters, about 80 thousand, and the ratio of syllables to pronunciations in Chinese is about one to ten. Therefore, there are a large number of homophones in Chinese characters, which gives people a way to express "what is said here is what it means", and ancient people often use homophones to express their meanings.

Ancient people played "homophonic terrier" very early.

Su Dongpo, a famous scholar in the Northern Song Dynasty, had a good friend named Liu Gongfu. One day, Liu Gongfu invited Su Dongpo and several literati friends to his home.

The netizen shouted that the Civil Affairs Bureau worked overtime for love on March 14, and won the homophonic stalk behind the auspicious day. The ancients were actually very enthusiastic.

While everyone was talking about it in Kan Kan, Su Dongpo's family sent a message asking him to go back to the house to deal with the housework. Liu Gongfu made a couplet half jokingly: Fortunately, I am early and calm.

Su Dongpo got into the saddle and walked to the mansion without looking back. As he walked, he said that in order to do this, he must return to Angelica.

The word "auspicious morning" has three kinds of fruits: apricot, jujube and plum, and the homonym of "Yi" and "Yi" is blindly followed by Chinese medicine. In Su Dongpo's couplets, "Naishi" is also the homonym of three fruits: Xi (fruit tree name), sugarcane and persimmon, and "Danggui" in "Danggui" is the name of traditional Chinese medicine. In this pair of couplets, both sides express their feelings in a homophonic way, and the antithesis is neat.

Jie Jin, a bachelor of Hanlin in Ming Dynasty, was brilliant. 19 years old, he became a scholar. Once, Jie Jin attended a colleague's party. Among the people present, there is a minister in government and in opposition, who is in power. He was very jealous of Jie Jin's talent and wanted to fool Jie Jin with this banquet, so he proposed to write couplets with Jie Jin.

The netizen shouted that the Civil Affairs Bureau worked overtime for love on March 14, and won the homophonic stalk behind the auspicious day. The ancients were actually very enthusiastic.

The minister made the first couplet: two apes cut down trees in the mountains, and the little monkey dared to saw them.

Jie Jin did not show weakness after hearing this, and immediately said to himself, How can an old beast run out of his hoof when a horse is stuck in the mud?

The homonym of "saw" and "sentence" in the first couplet of ministers is intended to satirize and satirize Jie Jin and the homonym of "hoof" and "title" in the second couplet of Jie Jin, and respond to "little monkey" with "old beast", answer blows with blows, while fighting neatly, it also makes the ministers keep talking.

Good wishes in homophonic folk customs

The use of homophonic has penetrated into traditional culture, which naturally affects local folk customs for a long time. In our life, we often encounter folk phenomena related to homophonic, which is most often manifested as homophonic blessing. In the homonym of blessing, people use words with auspicious meaning to pronounce the names of things.

For example, during the Spring Festival, people have the custom of reversing the word "Fu" to mean "Fu has arrived" because "Dao" and "Dao" are homophonic;
