Why do you often say, Long live the Millennium tortoise?

We have a lot of folk sayings, which have been circulating all the time and have been circulating until today. Among them, I think everyone must know this sentence, a thousand-year-old turtle, a hundred-year-old rabbit does not chase. This sentence sounds very rhyming and interesting. So what exactly does this sentence mean? I think not everyone can explain it. Today, Bian Xiao, let's tell you the meaning of this proverb. When it comes to rabbits and turtles, everyone will definitely think of the fable of the race between turtles and rabbits. But this story has nothing to do with this proverb. In fact, the first half of this proverb is praising the benefits of turtles, and the second half is derogatory.

As we all know, turtles have a long life span, and some turtles can even live for hundreds of years. In the coastal areas of China, people who live to the age of 100 will be called "turtle age" and will be congratulated. They will also embroider tortoise patterns on clothes and trousers, hoping that the elderly can live longer. It can be seen that the turtle still occupies a relatively high position in the hearts of our people, and it is also a very spiritual animal. Although the first half of this sentence is a compliment, it describes a long life, but I don't know why it has spread slowly to the present and turned into a curse.

Because the tortoise in this sentence is now used to curse people, and it is also very impolite. People who don't know may feel very angry and don't understand why they say so. Then the second half of this sentence means that rabbits run very fast, and they are very cunning and agile, and their life span is not very long. It is impossible to live to be 100 years old. Therefore, no one can catch a rabbit that has lived for hundreds of years. If you see such a rabbit, you should avoid it quickly, for fear that it will bring unlucky things.

Most people use this sentence to ridicule those who are disrespectful and cunning. If you meet such a person in your life, everyone will hide and be afraid of what trouble such a person will bring you. Personal opinion: After this explanation, do you know what this sentence means now? In fact, there are many folk sayings in our country, all of which have deep meanings. Their meanings are not as simple as they seem, and we need to study them in depth, so they are also very interesting.
