The origin of Idioms

In ancient times, according to superstitious legends, people believed that there were ghosts, people and gods. The first level is the highest level, which is God's territory. The second level is the range of human activities. The third level is the field of ghost activities under the land. The third level is divided into nine levels, so the lowest level is also where ghosts live. Jiuquan: deep underground, used to refer to the place where people are buried after death. It is also called "the yellow spring". A smile is a sign that a person has no regret for his life after he dies. People who are related to him (including relatives, friends, leaders, etc.) can make him happy, and people who are suffering under the circumstances can also smile. The word "Jiuquan" is common in ancient poetry, such as "the chamber of Jiuquan in the dark, the long night stage." "Nine" is the longest single digit number. Therefore, in ancient China, "Nine" was often used to mean many, big and extreme. The ancient medical book Su Wen says: "the number of heaven and earth begins at one, and ends at nine." Jiuquan refers to the bottomless underground. The word "Jiuquan" also has its origin. Ancient laborers learned from the experience of drilling wells that when they dug deep underground, there would be springs. Groundwater seeps out of the loess, often with yellow, so the ancients called the deep underground "huangquan". In ancient times, there was a superstition that people should go to "Yin Cao Di Fu" after death, and "Yin Cao Di Fu" was deep underground, so the word "jiu" was combined with the word "Quan" to become "Jiu Quan". Smiling Jiuquan is full of smile under Jiuquan, which means that he is also happy after death. there is also a saying that in ancient times, people who committed capital crimes needed to be beheaded, and at this time, they needed executioners to carry out the execution. After the executioners with good knife skills cut off their heads, the heads of the dead would fall on the ground and turn around nine times, and then the corners of their mouths would rise with a smile. This means that the deceased suffered the least when accepting the criminal law, and the saying of "nine circles with a smile" has become a nine springs with a smile. At this time, if the dead have descendants, then these descendants not only can't hate the executioner, but also need to support the executioner, because the executioner makes the dead suffer the least and leave happily. As long as the executioner is alive, the descendants of the dead need to support him. Of course, a bad executioner is another matter.
