What do you mean by "rogue" in ancient times?

In ancient times, "hooligans" meant that those who had no house or land were called "flow" and those who had no job were called "self-protection", which generally referred to the homeless.

Ancient "hooligans"

Let me talk about the ancient meaning of "Liu".

In ancient times, "those who have no land are called streams", that is to say, those who have no land are called "streams".

China was a typical agricultural society in ancient times, and the country was the first. Without home, there would be no country. Strong agricultural productivity is related to the military strength of a country. Therefore, the ancients have always attached importance to agriculture, because only farmers can produce food for the country, so that not only the army will not starve to death, but also civilians will not be implicated in the war.

Under the guiding ideology of "farming is the most glorious", the status of people with cultivated land and those without cultivated land is completely different. Because "refugees" have no land and no shelter, they are regarded as people who have no contribution to the national economy.

Then let's talk about the ancient meaning of "self-protection".

There is a poem "Self-protection". When robbers came to trade silk, they came to look for silk. "Quoted from The Book of Songs, Meng.

"Han Shu" has a cloud, "An Min, the nature of the people; The flesh and blood are attached, and human feelings are also willing. " This paper expounds the fate relationship among the country, people, real estate and land.

China was an agricultural society in ancient times. Ancient people had a strong attachment to land and real estate. It is impossible without land, and it is impossible to have a serious job without real estate. That's "self-protection"

And there is a clearer explanation about why no house is "self-protected".

Now the meaning of "rogue"

Rogue pinyin is liú máng, which generally refers to people who are not doing their proper jobs, often making troubles and have low cultural quality. It also refers to people who don't respect others and attack others by words or actions.

193 1 year, when Lu Xun gave a speech entitled "Rogue and Literature" in Shanghai Dongya Wentong Academy, he once defined the word "rogue" like this: "Rogue equals rogue plus strong man, plus 300 endorsements. There are probably two reasons for hooliganism: first, Confucius, that is, Confucianism; One is Mozi's disciple, namely Xia. These two things were also very good, but when their thoughts degenerated, they gradually became' hooligans'. " (quoted from199265438+1October 16) The words "rogue", "strong man" and "three hundred endorsements" in the article are all Japanese words, that is, hooligans, rogues and ruffians. The Japanese vocabulary used here is probably related to the early publication of this article in Japan. However, in addition to the title of "three hundred endorsements", other titles such as "rogue son" and "strong man" have existed in China since ancient times and have also been interpreted as hooligans.
