Who can tell us about the origin and allusions of "tortoise"?

Analysis:

"Historical Records Biography of Turtle Policy" contains: "Those who can name turtles will have their property returned and their family wealth will be tens of millions. First, Beidou turtle, second, turtle, third, five-star turtle, fourth, eight-phoenix turtle, fifth, twenty-eighth night turtle, sixth, moon turtle, seventh, Jiuzhou turtle, eighth, Wang turtle. " When the wind of belittling turtles became more and more fierce, the busybody simply changed the order of the last turtle and became "tortoise tortoise" or "tortoise tortoise" People's imagination is really amazing. They played word games and linked the eight virtues of "teaching, heart, loyalty, faithfulness, propriety, righteousness, honesty and shame". Because of the homonym of "Wang, forget", "turtle" evolved into "forget eight" "Forgetting the Eight Virtues" means that without the last of the Eight Virtues, there is no "shame". Coincidentally, in the "History of the New Five Dynasties" written by Ouyang Xiu in the Northern Song Dynasty, the book said: "Wang Jian was a rogue when he was young, killing cattle and stealing donkeys and selling private thieves. Everyone in the village calls him a thief tortoise. " As a result, the dirty words "bastard" and "son of a bitch" have evolved, both of which contain dirty words in mixed languages.

Turtles and dinosaurs are prehistoric animals, but dinosaurs only left fossils, but turtles can survive tenaciously so far, so turtles are a symbol of longevity. Guigui homophonic, but also a symbol of wealth and rights. Therefore, in ancient times, people regarded the turtle as a totem, carried out turtle divination, set up turtle officials, printed turtle seals, put on turtle bags, erected turtle monuments, wore turtle hats, and named turtles, all of which showed the depth of turtle worship.

Then, since the Yuan Dynasty, how can turtles be considered ugly, ugly, and associated with low-level, dirty, evil and despicable? Turtles are equivalent to green headscarves and green hats. People whose wives have an affair or engage in prostitution with their wives are called turtles. Prostitutes in brothels are called * * *, and the most vicious names are "turtle", "turtle grandson", "bastard", "rabbit" and "small head turtle".

Xu Shen's Shuo Wen Jie Zi in the Eastern Han Dynasty is the first monograph to analyze the elegance and meaning of characters in the cultural history of China. He said under the caption of "Turtle": "When the turtle is old, its outer bones are fleshy. From it (snake), * * * is the same as it (snake). The nature of heaven and earth is broad-shouldered, and there is no public, and turtles and the like are public. " Shuowen Jiezi is the first exegetical macro chapter after Erya, which has a great influence on the society in the future, and the saying that "the mother turtle steals the snake" follows. In Song Dynasty, Luo Yuan wrote Er Ya Yi, saying, "Big waist is pure female, thin waist is pure male, and turtles and snakes mate." Zhang Hua, a native of the Western Jin Dynasty, wrote in Volume 11 of the Natural History: "A turtle has no male. If it is ventilated with a snake, it will conceive and lay eggs." Turtles and snakes are both warm-blooded animals, and both have hibernation habits. It is very common for turtles and snakes to live together in a cave in winter. As a result, the ugly name of the tortoise was widely circulated.

The reason why the tortoise * * *

"Geography of Sui Shu" also recorded an absurd story: "When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty) opened the imperial court, people came to pick imperial secretaries every day, and imperial secretaries heard about it. The emperor said: the guard is very strict, how can people get in? Think of it as a demon ear. Because of abstinence, the imperial secretary said, you should put it down when you meet it. Later, something similar to people coming to sleep at night, the imperial secretary drew a knife and stabbed it, if it was dry. It fell off the bed and left, but the imperial secretary took it, but did not enter the pool. Tomorrow, I will order the emperor to dry the pond and get a turtle with a diameter of more than one foot. If there is a knife mark on it, I will kill it. " This record shows that the tortoise is * * * and has a bad record of being a demon and stealing women. Li Mingzhizhen said in the Method of Taking Turtle Urine: "Turtles are jealous and make friends with snakes, but take turtles into crocks and take them in the mirror. When a turtle sees its shape, it loses its urine and loses it with things. " He also said, "A male and a female mate with a snake." As a result, the theory of tortoise * * * was widely circulated.

The origin of kittens

The earliest written record in the history of China is Tao, a native of Huangyan at the end of Yuan Dynasty, who slandered the tortoise as a prostitute. He recorded the story of a family, which was rich and criss-crossed with fields, but their children and grandchildren were not good, and then recorded a poem "Poetry of the descendants of a consumer family", which said: "Wealth and waste are never inherent, and our family is too weak to support. When the grave is dug, the bones in the grave are turned into white ground, the family members are rabbits, and others are always shrinking. " After the poem, Tao added: "If the husband and the rabbit are pregnant with a full moon, then the woman is pregnant with no husband, and the wife is having an affair. The rabbit is like a husband." So drivers such as "little puss-head", "tortoise" and "hare" all refer to bastards whose wives are having an affair or whose mothers are having sex with prostitutes, and all the allusions come from here. The words derived from this are "turtle brain", "timid" and "timid".

The origin of cuckold husband

The Ming Dynasty stipulated: "Teachers in teaching workshops always wear a green headscarf as a farewell to ordinary clothes." Miscellaneous Notes of the Ming Dynasty also recorded: "Prostitutes are recorded in the palace, and they are musicians, also known as mito, made in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and their headscarves are blue to show their shame." "Green headscarf" was not only a punishment for prostitutes by the court in the Ming Dynasty, but also a synonym for adultery by folk wives. Coincidentally, there are no books. "There is a small turtle with green hair and tailless shell in Tan, which is nowhere else." Another kind of hairy-throated water turtle does have ring-shaped green stripes on its head, and its head is turquoise. So people wrote articles about green turtles intentionally or unintentionally. Whenever a wife has an affair, it is also popular to call her husband a "cuckold".
