The origin of Idioms

Idioms and allusions

The pronunciation and order of the nine sons of Long Sheng are confused. Liang Haiyan, an expert on the ninth son of Long Sheng in the Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, pointed out that the different publications in the books were all plagiarized back and forth. If there were errors, the Encyclopedia of China should prevail. As for pronunciation, it is not necessary to go up to "onomatopoeia of ancient Chinese". Secondly, the pronunciation of ancient Chinese, middle ancient Chinese and modern Chinese are quite different. dragon born nine sons means dragon born nine sons. None of the nine sons is Jackie Chan. The so-called "dragon gives birth to nine sons" does not mean that the Dragon just gives birth to nine sons. In traditional Chinese culture, nine is used to describe the number of dragons. Nine is an imaginary and expensive number, so it is used to describe the dragon. The saying that dragon has nine sons has a long history, but there has been no saying about which nine kinds of animals it is, until the Ming Dynasty. Some scholars' notes in the Ming Dynasty, such as Lu Rong's Shu Yuan Za Ji, Li Dongyang's Huai Lu Tang Ji, Yang Shen's Sheng An Ji, Li Xu's old man's ramble on Jie An and Xu Yingqiu's Yu Zhi Tang Tan Yun, all record the situation of the Dragon sons, but they are not unified. in ancient times, there was a folk legend that "the Dragon gave birth to nine sons, not Jackie Chan, each has his own good". But there are different opinions about what Jiuzi is. We mainly use the book "auspicious pictures of China", which is old and has been sorted out by later generations, to know which nine children are. 1. The eldest one imprisons cattle, likes music, and squats on the head of the piano; 2. The second one, y á Z ì, is fond of killing and fighting, and engraved on the ring of the sword and the handle of the sword; 3. The third one mocks the wind, looks like an animal, and is the third one. He is dangerous and hopeful in his life, and the animal on the corner of the temple is his portrait. Some people always think that it is a phoenix with a dragon vein; 4. The four son Pulao roars loudly when it is attacked, which acts as the animal button of the lifting beam of the Hongzhong bell, and helps it to sound far away; 5. The five son lion dragon (Su ā NN í), which is like a lion and likes to sit in smoke, so its image generally appears on the censer, and then swallows smoke and puffs fog Seven son Cuan (b Cuan n), which is like a tiger, is litigious, and has its image on both sides of the prison gate or the main hall of the government; eight son negative Cuan (f Cuan x Cuan), which is like a dragon, elegant and gentle, coiled around the top of the stone tablet; nine old nine Cuan kiss (CH Cuan w Cuan), also known as Cuan tail or Cuan (CH Cuan) kiss, has a smooth mouth, thick voice and easy to swallow, so it becomes a spine swallowing beast at both ends of the temple ridge, and takes it to put out the fire.

Specific introduction

One of the nine sons of the dragon, prisoner ox prisoner ox, the eldest of the nine sons of the dragon, loves music all his life. He often squats on the head of the Qin to enjoy the music of plucking strings, so his portrait is carved on the head of the Qin. This decoration has been used for a long time. Some valuable huqin heads are still engraved with the image of dragon head, which is called "dragon head huqin". Jaic canthus, the second of the nine sons born to the dragon, is the second child. He is aggressive and likes to kill in his life. The ring, handle and mouth of the dragon are his remains. After these weapons decorated the image of the dragon, they added deterrent power. It is not only decorated in the weapons of the famous generals in the battlefield, but also used in the weapons of honor and palace guards, which makes it more dignified. The third of the nine sons born by the Dragon - mocking wind - mocking wind is like a beast. He is the third. He is very dangerous and hopeful. The animal on the corner of the hall is his portrait. These beasts are lined up by single teams and stand upright at the front of the hanging ridge. The leader of the beast is a "immortal" who rode on the birds. The following are: dragon, Phoenix, lion, Tianma, seahorse, hare, fish, *, bullfight, and go. Only the Taihe Hall of the Forbidden City in Beijing can have all kinds of them, and the number of secondary halls should be reduced accordingly. Mocking wind not only symbolizes auspiciousness, beauty and dignity, but also has the meaning of deterring demons and eliminating disasters. The layout of mocking wind makes the shape of the whole palace strict and varied, achieving the harmony of solemnity and vividness, and the unity of grandeur and delicacy. It adds a mysterious atmosphere to the towering palace. Pulao, the fourth of the nine sons born to a dragon, ranks the fourth in shape of a winding dragon. It is good at singing and roaring all its life. The dragon shaped animal button on the Hongzhong bell is its portrait. It turns out that Pulao lives by the sea. Although he is a dragon, he has always been afraid of the whale. As soon as the whale attacks, it roars with fright. According to the characteristics of its "good nature" and "every bell wants to make a loud sound", that is to say, Pu Lao is cast as a bell button and the wooden pestle is made into the shape of a whale. When ringing the bell, let the whale hit the Pulao again and again, making it "ring into the sky" and "sound only far away". The lion dragon is the fifth of the nine sons born by the dragon. The lion dragon is like a lion, ranking fifth. It likes to be quiet but not to move. It is easy to sit and likes fireworks. Therefore, the foot decoration on the Buddha seat and incense burner is its portrait. It is said that the lion dragon decorated on the Buddha seat was introduced into China from India in the Han Dynasty, and it was widely used in the Buddhist art of China in the southern and Northern Dynasties. After the creation of Chinese folk artists, it had the traditional style of China. Later, it became the fifth Dragon. Most of the places it was decorated were in front of the Buddha and Bodhisattva statues. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the dragon shaped ornament in the middle of the collar under the neck of stone lion or bronze lion was also the image of lion dragon, which made the traditional Chinese gate lion guarding the gate more powerful. The sixth of the nine sons born by the dragon, Baxia, also known as Fuxia, is the sixth old man, who looks like a tortoise. He is good at bearing heavy loads in his life and has boundless strength. The Guifu under the pedestal of the tablet is his portrait. It is said that in ancient times, Baxia often carried three mountains and five mountains and made waves in rivers and lakes. Later, Dayu accepted it in flood control. It obeyed the command of Dayu, pushed mountains, dug ditches, and dredged rivers, making contributions to flood control. After the flood was overcome, Dayu was worried that Baxia would go wild again, so he moved to a huge stone tablet with the deeds of Baxia's water control engraved on it. It was called Baxia's carrying. The heavy stone tablet made it impossible for him to walk freely. Baxia and tortoise are very similar, but there are some differences. Baxia has a row of teeth, but tortoise does not. There are also differences in the number and shape of the pieces on the dorsal carapace between Baxia and tortoise. Baxia, also known as Shigui, is a symbol of longevity and auspiciousness. It is always struggling to move forward with its head held high, four feet desperately supporting, struggling to move forward, but always unable to move. The base of some famous steles in our country are carried by Ba, which can be seen in the forest of Steles and some historic sites. Dragon gives birth to the seventh of the nine sons. Dragon gives birth to the seventh son. Dragon gives birth to the seventh son. Dragon gives birth to the seventh son. Dragon gives birth to the seventh son. Dragon gives birth to the seventh son. Dragon gives birth to the seventh son. It is litigious but powerful. The tiger head shaped decoration on the upper part of the prison door is its portrait. It is said that he is not only eager for justice and justice, but also able to distinguish right from wrong and judge justly. In addition, his image is majestic, so he not only decorates the prison gate, but also lies on both sides of the hall of the government. Whenever the Yamen chief sits in the court, the top of the chief executive's title card and the silence avoidance card will have its image. It is covetous, inspecting and maintaining the solemn and upright atmosphere of the court. He is the eighth of the nine sons born by the dragon. He looks like a dragon and ranks the eighth. He is a good writer in his life. Wen long on both sides of the stone tablet is his portrait. China's steles have a long history and rich contents. Some of them are simple in shape, smooth and bright in shape, and can be distinguished by their brilliance. Some of them are exquisitely carved, with graceful characters and vivid strokes. Some of them are well-known for their poems and essays. However, he is very fond of this kind of inscriptions, which are shining with artistic brilliance. He is willing to turn them into pictorial dragons to set off these literary treasures handed down from generation to generation, so as to make the pedestal more elegant and beautiful. They are coiled around each other. It seems that they are creeping slowly. They are matched with the base, which makes them more spectacular. Nine of the nine sons born to the dragon, the dragon's kiss, also known as the tail and the kiss, is a dragon shaped ridge swallowing beast. It is Lao Jiu, with a broad mouth and thick noise, and is easy to swallow in his life. The curly tail taps at both ends of the ridge are his remains. "Taiping Yulan" has the following description: "after the disaster of Liang hall, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, the Yue witch said," there are fish in the sea, the tail is like a bird, and the surging wave is rainfall. "So he made it like the tail, in order to be tired of fire and auspicious." In this paper, the "witch" is a kind of alchemist, while the "Yuqiu" is the predecessor of jueyou. It is water-based and can be used as an anti evil substance to avoid fire.

Controversial views

The sequence from Yizi to Jiuzi can be divided into two groups: 1. Gongniu, jaicanthus, Chuifeng, Pulao, lion dragon, Jue, qicanthus, negative Jue, Jue kisses. 2. Jue, Jue kisses, Pulao, Jue kisses, Taotie, gonghao, jaicanthus, lion dragon, Jiaotu respects the second group, but still chooses the first group. 赑屃is also known as Baxia, and the ancient meaning words of gonghao are "Chongba" and "chongxia". We can see the contradiction here. Baxia and Baxia basically have the same pronunciation. Because the ancients have always been taboo, it is not credible. He has a wide mouth and thick noise, and is easy to swallow in his life. He collides with Taotie. Taotie is the son of Jinyun family, which is recorded in historical records. in contrast to the first group of data, as a valuable decoration of huqin, it is confirmed that the ox likes music. However, the reason why pu'ao makes a loud sound is that it is attacked by the giant whale. Therefore, pu'ao is placed on the bell beam as a button to help the bell sound far away, not like music. Chuifeng sits on the corner of the hall to avoid floods and other sudden attacks to prevent disasters, and has the function of awe and awe, auspiciousness and peace. Chuifeng squats on the corner of the hall, with good nature, making it sit like a dog, not like a dog. I like it in common with Chao Tian Hou. and 螭 kiss, 螭 is a hornless dragon. Place the kisses in the hall
