● Win the gold medal.

Chaoshan people always use the idiom "crossing the golden medal" when they scold some vicious women. Its allusion comes from the Chaozhou drama "Golden Flower Shepherd", which tells that there is a middle-class family with two brothers and sisters: Zhang Jin, an honest brother, is married. His wife, Jin Zhangpo, is vicious, snobbish and selfish. Sister Jinhua, as beautiful as flowers and pure as jade, has a kind heart. Jinhua's sister-in-law is bent on marrying the girl to the rich in the village in order to climb to the top. Unexpectedly, Jinhua fell in love with Liu Yong, a scholar in the village who read poetry books frequently, and set a good relationship for a hundred years. Jin Zhangpo is very annoyed.

This year is a year of fierce competition. Liu Yong went to Beijing to take the exam, and Jinhua sent Shili Pavilion. Jinhua is worried that liuyong will be left unattended on the road, and liuyong is worried that Jinhua will be lonely at home. Then simply go to Beijing together. On the way, liuyong and his wife were robbed by robbers and separated. Jinhua jumped into the river to avoid being insulted by gangsters. Rescued by fishermen to their hometown. When Jinhua was sent home, Jin Zhangpo was overjoyed and tried every means to persuade Jinhua to remarry. Jinhua doesn't follow. Jin Zhangpo became angry from embarrassment and forced Jinhua to go up the mountain to herd sheep. Although Zhang Jin sympathizes with his sister, he is a hen-pecked wife who only helps secretly. Despite the biting wind and rain, Jinhua suffered a lot for herding sheep. Mrs. Jin Zhangpo is a little unhappy, either beating or scolding. She often takes Jinhua's job and wants to kick her out of the house. In Lacrimosa, golden flowers only last for a whole day. So hard for three years.

One day, Jinhua went out to herd sheep. A lamb fell off a cliff and died. Jinhua was too scared to go home. Crying by the river at night was discovered by a young Cheng Yi who was about to meet the new seven provinces. As soon as I asked why, I brought the golden flower in.

These seven provinces were none other than Liu Yong, who was separated in those years. After being dispersed, Liu Yong went to Beijing to try alone and won the first place, that is, he was sealed into the Hanlin Academy and served as the governor of seven provinces three years later. Liu Yong felt his wife's kindness and rushed back to his hometown to sacrifice his wife's dead.

When Cheng Yi read Liu Yong's eulogy, he found that the content of the eulogy was exactly the same as that described by Jinhua, so he invited Jinhua. Liu Yong was overjoyed, and the husband and wife reunited, and the joy was self-evident.

When Liu Yong came home dressed in gold, Jin Zhangpo remembered that she had insulted the golden flower before and was ashamed. Jinhua forgot past grievances. Generous treatment of sister-in-law, family reunion.

Satisfied enough to sing a song in a row.

In Chaoshan area, people often use the phrase "I am so happy, I am singing" to describe people's complacency when they are happy.

"Lianqu" is the harmony in traditional Chinese opera, also called "harmony". This habit of assisting voices was found in the Southern Opera in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. Tsung i Jao, a famous Chaozhou scholar, believes that this kind of harmony "originated from the" sixth floor "and evolved into the" Li Li Lai "in Weicheng Opera in Tang Dynasty. Originally from the Buddhist Nirvana Sutra (Five Kinds of Chaozhou Opera in Ming Dynasty). Today, Puxian Opera in Fujian still retains the habit of singing couplets. They think it is because they are afraid of blasphemy on the stage and sing it to ensure the safety of everyone on the stage.

In short, it has no specific content, and it is a "song without words", so people use the word "sing a tune" to describe the casual humming when they are satisfied.

● Someone sank the boat and someone got out of the rice.

As the saying goes, "some people sink a ship, some people cook without rice", that is to say, some people have suffered, but some people have made a fortune; Some people lose money while others benefit from it.

According to legend, after He died, he was named Rongjiang Water God. He is determined to punish the strong, help the poor and manage Rongjiang well. He Xian observed the terrain of Rongjiang River, placed the aquarium, appointed lions and elephants to guard the mouth of Rongjiang River, and ordered elephants to guard Shuangxizui to maintain the order of Rongjiang River.

Soon, people discovered a strange phenomenon. The ships of the rich and gentry often sink in Shuangxizui, but rice flows out from the crevices of Sanfeng Ancient Temple in Shijingyan in front of Shijing Village in Guanbu every day. Therefore, there is a saying that "the mouth of a double stream sinks, and the stone well rocks out of the rice". It turned out that he Ye Yun wanted to investigate all the passing ships, and those who carried ill-gotten gains were confiscated. In particular, the rice obtained by plundering and squeezing farmers is transported to Shuangxizui by sailboat, so why not let the elusive turtle who guards sink it, store the rice and count it out from the cracks every day to help the dying poor villagers. Over time, people will make some people suffer and some people get rich; Some people gain, some people lose, this is called "some people sink, some people give rice", which has been handed down and become a saying.

Chen Shimei wants pickles.

This is a well-known saying in Chaozhou urban and rural areas. It shows that the audience always sympathizes with the good characters in the play and hates the evil villains.

In the Chaozhou Opera in the old society, the role of Sheng Dan was played by Tong Ling. Tong Ling is a indentured slave who sells herself and lives a miserable life. Some troupes with financial difficulties are not satisfied with three meals of porridge and rice, and even have to beg along the street for their own miscellaneous food.

Once, a troupe went to a village to perform, and its name was Chen Shimei. The play was very real, and the audience shed tears of sympathy for Qin Xianglian's abandonment. Chen Shimei's ruthlessness was reviled and resented. Around noon the next day, several Tongling children went to the village to ask for salty tea for lunch. The kind sister-in-law Amro gave them to Tong Ling one by one, especially the one who played Qin Xianglian last night. Finally, Ling was the only child left. When he held out the bowl, an Eminem opened his eyes and recognized him as the man who played Chen Shimei last night. He immediately took back the pickles in his hand and said, "You are Chen Shimei! You are so wicked, pickles just won't be given to you! " The child spirit unfairly explained, "Mu, that's a show." Old Sam at this time although also understand that this is a scam, but at that time the feelings still can't be reversed, insist on not giving, which makes Tongling have to sigh unlucky. ...

There is no need to help a rising ship float by itself.

This proverb is often used to mock flatterers. Helping is "helping eggs". As the northern saying goes, kiss up and hug your thighs. There is a folklore about this proverb.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Huang Qiyou, a bachelor of imperial academy, appeared in Yuhu, Jieyang County. Huang Qiyu was born in a poor family. He lost his father when he was a teenager. His family is very poor. He often goes hungry and has no food. But others are not poor, so tighten your belts and study hard. According to legend, when he went to Beijing to catch the exam, there was no money at home, so he had to ask the gentry and the rich in the village for help. What do rich people think of him? He was rejected in several places, even ridiculed, and hit a wall everywhere. And sympathy for his poor brothers is helpless. Later, fortunately, Mr. and Mrs. Huang Ci, the butchers of Thompson, helped each other make up the expenses. When I arrived in Beijing, I was admitted to Jinshi in one fell swoop and awarded a bachelor's degree in Hanlin. On the day when I put on my fine clothes and returned to China, before the official ship arrived at the dock, I saw the squire and the rich people who had been facing them with cold faces and avoiding them respectfully greeted them at the dock. At that time, the tide had just receded, and the official ship ran aground and could not dock. The gentry giants tried their best, quickly took off their shoes and boots, rolled up their trouser legs and went down the river to help push the official ship. Huang Qiyu saw through the snobbery of these people and recalled that he was looked down upon for borrowing money. He felt deeply that human feelings were cold and the world was cold, so he waved to them and said, "Don't ask for help, a rising tide lifts all boats." This is the origin of this proverb. It not only retains the satire on snobs, but also contains a polite refusal to those who are keen to use it for themselves.
