叆叇, the ancient name for glasses, is pronounced "ài dǎi

". This is the Arabic or Persian transliteration of glasses, written as al_unwainat in Arabic and ainak in Persian. In ancient times, there were two words with the same pronunciation as "叏叇", so people borrowed this word as the written language for glasses. "叆叇" originally refers to clouds covering the sun. The third volume of "Sounds and Meanings of All Sutras" says: "Clouds covering the sun are called 叆叇". It can be seen that the original meaning of "叏叇" has nothing to do with glasses. In the early 18th century, Japan also called glasses "叆叇". This was written in the "Japanese and Han Sancai Tuhui" written in 1712. Obviously, this is the name of glasses transferred from China to Japan. In fact, as early as the end of the 15th century, some people had already called them "glasses". Lang Ying of the Ming Dynasty dedicated a section titled "glasses" in the sixth volume of his "Seven Revised Class Drafts". He wrote: "It is rare to hear that noble people have glasses." Lang Ying was born in 1487. When he was young, he heard about "glasses" at the end of the 15th century or the beginning of the 16th century.

Therefore, glasses were originally called 叆叇, but since they had a special Chinese name, they were called glasses. 5. Translate ancient texts

So they made an appointment to meet there tomorrow and read out the words on the plaque to verify what they said. However, they were afraid that they could not see it, so A asked someone to inquire the night before.

When he arrived at the door of the rich man's house, A pointed at the top of the door and said the content of the big characters. B also pointed at the door. The small print on the door told the content. A did not believe that B could see the small print on the door, so he asked the host to come out, pointed at the door and asked: "Is what he said correct?"

What are glasses called in ancient Chinese?

Our country There were no glasses in ancient times, and students and the elderly suffered from myopia, aging or astigmatism and were unable to read and write. Du Fu, the great poet of the Tang Dynasty, was no exception. In his later years, his eyesight was dim. He once lamented that seeing things is like looking at flowers in the fog. He could not write, read, and could only listen.

It must have a great influence on his creation. Judging from written records, glasses were introduced to China in the early 15th century.

Zhang Ning of the Ming Dynasty mentioned two pairs of glasses he had seen in his writings. Zhang Ning was a Jinshi in 1454. At the same time, Luo Maodeng wrote in the 50th chapter of the book "The Popular Romance of Sanbao Eunuch" written at the end of the 16th century: In the eighth year of Yongle (1410), the king of Manchuria paid "ten coins" as tribute. Therefore, it can be It is said that glasses have been introduced to China for 600 years.

These records are mutually corroborated with the paintings in the "Southern Capital Fanhui Scenery Scroll", indicating that early European glasses were introduced to China by sea or land from the northwest. The earliest record of glasses in my country is from the second volume of Tian Yiheng's "Liu Qing Rizhao" during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty: "The deputy envoy Huyang Lin Gong owned two objects, which were shaped like big coins, thin and transparent. Every time he read the article, his eyesight became dizzy and tired. , I don't know the fine writing, I use it to cover my eyes, my spirit is not scattered, my strokes are brighter, I use silk to tie them in the middle, and tie them behind my head."

Originally translated as "Short". "Na" comes from the Arabic language, and later the glasses were named □叇, which comes from "Yilin Yanzi": "The stars are not as bright as the sun and the moon." Zhao Yi of the Qing Dynasty recorded in "Yucong Kao": "There was a phenomenon in the late ancient times. Spectacles existed only in the Ming Dynasty. They were extremely valuable in the Ming Dynasty.

They were either awarded to the imperial family or purchased from Jiahu. Those who were not capable could not obtain them. They originally came from overseas and were made of glass. Later, people in Guangdong imitated this style and made it out of crystal. "Gu Zhentao of the Qing Dynasty wrote in "Wumen Biaoyin": "The glasses only have a single lens on the front and are used for holding." 8. What is the name of glasses in ancient Chinese?
