The origin of the proverb "spider hangs a net, after the rain clears up"

It is observed that in many parts of our country. If you see a spider weaving a web, the rainy weather will clear up. If the spider closes the net, it will rain

Spiders can predict the weather mainly because they are very sensitive to the humidity changes in the air. Spiders have many small spinnerets on their tails, which are sticky and cold. When rainy weather comes, due to the high humidity in the air, water vapor is easy to condense into small drops in the spinneret, so the spider finds it difficult to spin silk, so it stops spinning and closes the net. On the contrary, when the humidity in the air decreases and the weather improves, spiders will spin silk smoothly and then lay nets to catch insects.

According to another study, spiders' legs can sense sounds with a frequency of 20-50 Hz. When the weather is clear, insects are easy to move, and spiders will soon find the buzzing in flight, so they will add screens and prepare to catch it. This is why people observe the weather with the proverb "spider hangs a net, after the rain clears up".

The origin of the saying "eat ginger early and radish late, and Mr. Langzhong cries urgently"

From: Long March 1 (Suzhou)

One year, Empress Dowager Cixi suddenly became seriously ill with headache, heartache and abdominal pain. She is very ill and dying. She is anxious to deal with civil servants and officials. The famous doctors in Beijing have a lot of cars, but they are helpless about the symptoms of the Western Empress Dowager. Is there no skill? No, the responsibility is too great, so it is difficult to use drugs. If it's light, it won't work. If it is heavy, it is afraid of making mistakes, so I can't afford it. Therefore, Empress Dowager Cixi's troubles are getting more and more serious every day, and she is about to tide over the difficulties.

The champion of the new department is from Suzhou. He wrote a book saying that there is an ancestral famous doctor Cao Cangzhou in Suzhou, nicknamed Sai Huatuo, who has the skill of rejuvenation. If he is invited, perhaps the queen mother's blessing can turn the corner.

Cao Cangzhou is like a country bumpkin. He is usually quiet and walks slowly. On this day, when he received the imperial edict, he immediately turned pale and cried with his family. He decided that the Western Empress Dowager would not come to Suzhou from Beijing to invite him unless there was no hope. If the Western Empress Dowager can't be cured, the doctor will be martyred and his life will never return. But the imperial edict could not be disobeyed, so Cao Cangzhou had to bite the bullet and set off. As soon as he arrived in Beijing, he stayed in bed on the pretext of catching a cold on the road. In fact, illness is false: it is true to touch the root of Empress Dowager Cixi's illness. The first important thing is to see what medicine she took. I don't know if I don't check it. I'm shocked if I check it. Empress Dowager Cixi eats delicacies every day, not to mention ginseng alone. She can't wait to take a bath in ginseng soup every day. There are also bird's nest and tremella for dinner. Cao Cangzhou believes that this has long been recorded in medical books: "Too much nourishment will inevitably hinder the middle focus, and the middle focus will be blocked and it will be in danger." After finding the source of the disease, he got bold and went to see the Empress Dowager Cixi.

Cao Cangzhou wrote prescriptions blindly without using good medicine, and only wrote five big characters: San Qian, the Rapunzel. Seeing all the doctors in a daze at the scene, they thought the village doctor had come to Beijing to die. They all know the medicinal properties. Radish seeds are oily. After the western Pacific, it always nourishes the body. This medicine is obviously not to the taste of the western Pacific. However, Cao Cangzhou personally pinched the medicine, personally decocted the medicine, and personally sent the medicine to the bedroom of the Western Empress Dowager. When she finished drinking, she went back to her residence to rest.

After the Western Empress Dowager drank San Qian radish seed medicine soup, she defecated that night and got up early the next morning. The first thing she did was to thank the imperial doctor Cao Cangzhou. After the meeting, she gave Cao Cangzhou a nine-needle top hat and asked him to ride around the capital. Cao Cangzhou got the imperial seal, and when he came home, local officials had built a three-bedroom house for him. Since then, he has treated local villagers at home, not only providing medical advice, but also delivering medicine. I suggest you eat more radishes. After a long time, there is a saying in Suzhou that "eat ginger early and radish late, and Mr. Langzhong cries urgently".

Also, proverbs are concise language for people to describe long-term accumulated production and life experience, which is its source. .

Common sayings, also known as common sayings and common sayings, should be synonyms. The word common saying has been widely used as a linguistic term; As the saying goes, it has the color of classical Chinese; As the saying goes, there is a common saying.

Some articles occasionally refer to proverbs as idioms. Proverbs and idioms are both established language forms in Chinese, and they are closely related. The idiom "established by convention" contains the words "habit" and "success". But from the point of view of learning, they still have their own characteristics. Compare the following examples:

First, the big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp.

the weak are the prey of the strong—law of the jungle

First, the old crooked tree for many years can't stand up straight.

B, it's hard to go back

The horn that grows behind the nail is longer than the ear that grows first.

Second, come from behind.

A, pick up sesame seeds and throw away watermelon.

try to save a little only to lose a lot

First, you go your way; I crossed my wooden bridge.

B, go their separate ways

First, I am afraid of wolves before, and I am afraid of tigers later.

Second, be timid.

First, clean the bottom of the casserole.

B, get to the bottom of it

A, the tortoise looks at mung beans and looks at mung beans.

Second, love at first sight.

In the above example, A and B have the same meaning, A is a proverb and B is an idiom. Common sayings take image as the main body; Idioms are characterized by conciseness. Idioms are mostly complete sentences with different lengths, which can be used flexibly; Idioms are mostly four-character stable structures with neat forms. Proverbs are popular among the people orally, and their characteristics are still popular. Idioms are mostly used in written language, which tends to be elegant in terms of words. From this comparison, it can be defined from the main aspects: proverbs are popular spoken language with images as the main body, and their structural forms are relatively stable, but they can be used flexibly in practical applications.

This is the main connotation of proverbs, and as far as its extension is concerned, it inevitably overlaps with idioms. Although image is the main body of proverbs, it does not rule out refinement; Although idioms are characterized by conciseness, they do not exclude images. Although most idioms have a four-character structure, some of them are composed of more than four characters; Although the sentence patterns of common sayings vary in length, some of them are composed of four words. Although colloquialism is mostly spoken, it has been widely used in literary works and even in philosophy and science books. With the improvement of people's education, idioms are often used in spoken English. In this way, proverbs and idioms may penetrate each other and cross each other. For example:

(1) The city gate caught fire, which affected the fish in the pool (image, eight words, idiom → proverb)

(2) Three days to fish and two days to dry the net (image, eight characters, idiom → proverb)

(3) To make matters worse (image, four words, proverb → idiom)

④ Habit becomes nature (conciseness, five words, proverbs → idioms)

⑤ Dare not cross the line (image, conciseness, seven words, proverb-idiom)

Common sayings are spoken and idioms are written. These idioms have some characteristics of common sayings and idioms. It seems that both proverbs and idioms can be included in dictionaries. Fortunately, this situation is not too much.

Common sayings and idioms may sometimes transform and coexist with each other. For example:

(1) The bench is not hot-the seat is not warm.

(2) Beating mice is afraid of breaking jade bottles.

③ Burn eyebrows → urgent need.

(4) Eggs touch stones-Eggs touch stones.

⑤ Dead chickens lay eggs with a sieve → Dead chickens lay eggs.

⑥ Kill the donkey after pulling ←→ Dismantle the donkey and kill it.

⑦ Make a big axe in front of Lu Ban → Make a big axe in front of Lu Ban.

⑧ Never drink ink ←→ No ink on your chest.

Pet-name ruby don't eat for fear of choking.

What medicine to take for what disease → suit the remedy to the case.

(1)( 1) Catch all the fish in the river.

If the structure of vulgar sentences tends to be neat, they may be transformed into idioms; If you add visual elements, idioms may become proverbs. When proverbs are transformed into idioms, they can still maintain their image; Idioms are transformed into proverbs, and if they lack images, they should be supplemented. They are often transformed into two-part allegorical sayings. Proverbs and idioms are both related and different. Proverbs have advantages of proverbs; Idioms have the advantages of idioms. Proverbs make descriptions lively and idioms make arguments powerful, which are worth studying.

Second, proverbs and aphorisms

Some books refer to common sayings and proverbs as common sayings and compile them together. Compiling together is understandable, but the two are not the same. Proverbs are only a part of proverbs, which sum up knowledge and experience and have ideological significance. For example:

(1) Liquor has a red face and a black heart.

(2) If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer.

No matter how small a national event is, it is also a big event, and no matter how big a personal event is, it is also a small matter.

(4) the train runs fast, all by the headband.

A leopard cannot change his spots.

6. The weight of gold was broken.

⑦ Build on a mountain and flow by water.

⑧ If you stay in the green hills, you are not afraid of running out of firewood.

Pet-name ruby ink can be thickened.

Attending men become bad when they have money; Women become rich when they go bad.

(1)( 1) When people are together, Mount Tai moves.

Biting dogs don't show their teeth

(1)(3) As long as you work hard, iron ruler grinds into a needle.

Proverbs also sum up knowledge and experience and have ideological significance. But careful distinction is slightly different. The knowledge and experience summarized by aphorisms are mainly social, mostly logical thinking and philosophical statements, often from famous works; The knowledge and experience summarized by proverbs are not limited to social aspects, but also include natural science and production practice (such as agricultural proverbs). From the mouth of the people, it belongs to image thinking and is a literary language. In this distinction, proverbs should be classified as written language and proverbs should be classified as spoken language. However, it is inevitable that there will be overlap.

First, full of losses and moderate profits (written language)

Modesty makes people progress, while pride makes people lag behind (oral English)

Where there is a will, there is a way (written language)

Nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets his mind to it.

Worry about the world first, and enjoy it later (written language)

Come through thick and thin (oral)

Strictly speaking, in the above three groups, A is an aphorism and B is a proverb. However, due to the improvement of people's education level, these proverbs with classical Chinese colors have also entered the spoken language. We can only distinguish them as much as possible, but we have to admit that there is actually some overlap.

Some proverbs are proverbs, others are descriptive sentences. They don't summarize knowledge and experience, but just express a mode. For example:

(1) Deny this pot of wine.

I don't know which kang is hot.

(3) The sound of cicadas dragging over other branches.

4 pick your nose horizontally and pick your eyes vertically.

⑤ Grab your eyebrows and beard.

Get up early and catch the party in the evening.

All landowners beg grandpa, tell grandma.

The moon in foreign countries is rounder than that in China.

Pet-name ruby shaking his head is not nodding.

Attending to see whether to eat.

look but not see

(1)(2) Wear red and green.

This part of the sentence is descriptive, different from proverbs that sum up knowledge and experience, and there is no clear terminology. Now it's just a general statement. It is really necessary to distinguish it from proverbs and give it a clear name.

Some books call it "idioms", but the language phenomena involved are "slang", such as back to back, burning the midnight oil, nonsense, muddling along and so on. In the preface of Five Thousand Proverbs, the author uses "idioms" to address descriptive proverbs. The definition of idioms is not very clear, and some dictionaries use them as terms higher than common sayings and idioms, and their pronunciation is similar to "common sayings". Some dialect areas, even homophones, have their own shortcomings as terms. On second thought, I think it is better to use "slang" instead.

Slang, the term is sometimes mixed with slang, which is also called slang. This slang is related to the word "Li" in "village", which means "Li people". Slang often refers to dialects with dialect color. Because it is sometimes mixed with common sayings, and "idioms" actually refer to slang, it is best to borrow the word "slang" to refer to these descriptive common sayings.

Fourth, two-part allegorical sayings and one-liners

Two-part allegorical sayings and one-liners are basically synonyms. Two-part allegorical sayings are linguistic terms, while wisecracks are verb terms.

Two-part allegorical saying is a half sentence in form (the first half is an image or an example, and the second half is an explanation and explanation). In fact, it is to make the text more vivid and concrete. Therefore, two-part allegorical sayings should be included in common sayings. However, the images in two-part allegorical sayings are often comic and playful. It uses various rhetorical devices to modify words, words, languages and sentences (including proverbs themselves) to make them lively. Therefore, it is somewhat different from proverbs and descriptive slang. For example:

(1) daffodils don't bloom, play dumb (modifier)

Cats cry mice, crocodiles cry (modified phrase)

(3) The water rushed to the Longwang Temple, and our own people denied our own people (modify the sentence)

(4) carpenters wear cangue, bring it on themselves (modify idioms)

⑤ Zhang Fei wears a needle and his eyes are wide open (modify the proverb itself)

Some idioms are often translated into two-part allegorical sayings to enhance their images.

(1) A rolling pin blows fire and knows nothing.

(2) The gold marbles are not worth the candle.

(3) Green satin embroidered peony is the icing on the cake.

(4) Walking in the mill has no head and no tail.

There are too many cooks when crabs cross the river.

⑥ Fifteen buckets to draw water, seven up and eight down.

⑦ dung beetles became a cicada.

⑧ Onion mixed with tofu is clear and white.

Pet-name ruby terrifying notice, nonsense.

Two-part allegorical sayings are mixed, some contents and images are not good, and some are even rubbish, which should not be abused. Some commonly used two-part allegorical sayings have good images and are closely combined, similar to proverbs and descriptive slang. For example:

When the weasel looks at the chicken, the more he looks, the thinner he becomes.

(2) Draw water with a sieve (image comes first, explanation comes last, descriptive slang → slang)

(3) Sesame blossoms are on the rise (image comes first, explanation comes last, descriptive slang → slang).

In a word, proverbs, slang (descriptive proverbs) and two-part allegorical sayings constitute all proverbs. Common sayings are spoken sentences, which are different from written idioms and proverbs. They are two systems of spoken and written Chinese.

Proverbs are fixed sentences widely circulated among the people and the crystallization of people's summing up experiences and lessons in their long-term life practice. Proverbs are simple and popular, but they reflect profound truth.

a two-part allegorical saying

Two-part allegorical saying is a unique language full of wisdom and interest in China, and it is also a grammar that people like to use.

Two-part allegorical saying is a special language form created by people in their life practice. It generally consists of two parts, the first part is an image metaphor, like a riddle, and the second part is an explanation and explanation, like a riddle, which is very natural and appropriate.

For example:

It takes two hands to fight-

Foot-binding of a lazy woman.

In common language. Usually, as long as you say the first half sentence and the second half sentence of "rest", you can understand and guess its original intention, so it is called two-part allegorical saying.

The name "Xiehouyu" first appeared in the Tang Dynasty. Old Tang books. It was mentioned in Gui Zhengzhuan that there is a so-called poem "after five evils" (a kind of poem "after evil"). However, as a language form and expression, it appeared as early as the pre-Qin period. For example, the warring States policy. Chu Ce IV: "It's not too late to mend." It means it's not too late to mend the sheepfold after losing the sheep. This is the earliest two-part allegorical saying we saw today.

We have reason to believe that this is a popular saying at that time, which is based on the life experience of ordinary people. Although this kind of ancient two-part allegorical saying is rare in written records, it is believed that there are still many among the people. For example, Qian Daxin's "Constant Yan Lu" said: "It is also a proverb in the Song Dynasty to send goose feathers a thousand miles away." This kind of two-part allegorical saying has been used by people ever since.

When studying the origin of two-part allegorical sayings, some linguists and linguistic monographs also mentioned other related names. For example, in The Origin of Rhetoric, Chen Wangdao introduced two-part allegorical saying in the section of "Tibetan words"; In the study of proverbs, Guo Shaoyu pointed out that two-part allegorical sayings originated from "echo" (a form similar to guessing); Other books list names such as argot, riddle, proverb, shrinking feet and one-liners. By comparison, most of them reveal some similarities and differences. On the classification of two-part allegorical sayings, Xiang Wu Ding said. Besides, there are many two-part allegorical sayings, all of which have several properties, so it is difficult to divide them scientifically. For the convenience of reference, we classify all the entries with homophonic words into one category, and the rest of the entries are divided into three categories according to the nature of the metaphor part.

First, homophones. For example:

Empty coffin burial-

Onion mixed with tofu-

This kind of two-part allegorical saying is homophonic with homophones or near homophones, and another meaning is extended from the original meaning. This kind of two-part allegorical saying often takes many twists and turns to understand its meaning. So it is more interesting.

Second, metaphor. For example:

Moving wood in an alley-

Cold water dough-

This kind of two-part allegorical saying is an analogy to reality or imagination. If you know something about Bibi's characteristics and situation, you can naturally understand the second half of the mystery.

Third, metaphor. For example:

Ants after autumn-

Chess pieces on the chessboard-

This two-part allegorical saying takes one or some objects as examples. Understand the essence of analogy, and you can understand its meaning.

Fourth, the story. such as

Chu overlord holds the tripod-

Cao Cao eats chicken ribs-

This kind of xiehouyu generally refers to common allusions, fables, myths and legends. As long as you know the stories of Xiang Yu and Cao Cao, you can get a general understanding of the above two situations.

In the case of cross-category, it is classified as a category with more obvious characteristics. such as

Paper pipa-

This two-part allegorical saying is both metaphor and homophonic, and now it is classified as homophonic.

Two-part allegorical sayings have distinctive national characteristics, rich flavor of life, humorous and intriguing, and are deeply loved by the masses.
