Idioms and allusions

The origin of words

"Sour taste theory". There is a saying in Chapter 27 of the Qing Dynasty's chapter novel the biography of children Heroes: "don't let those who sell sweet sauce and high vinegar over earn your money. You suffer from a jealous disease and gain the reputation of a" jealous lady. " It seems that Wen Kang, the author of the novel, expressed his feelings from the practice of buying vinegar and eating vinegar. Vinegar in ancient China is the main sour seasoning, it can be extended to acid, sour; sour and painful meaning, so people put the sour vinegar and jealousy together to describe the heart sour. Sometimes also called vinegar, vinegar. For example, in Chapter 31 of a dream of Red Mansions: "when Qingwen hears that he (refers to Xiren) says" we ", it's naturally him and Baoyu.

For example, in the drama "hundred flowers Pavilion", it is said that "I have transferred him several times, but he has fallen in love with me in his heart. What do you do with such jealousy?"

On the origin 2

It is said that the Tang Dynasty's chaoyejinzai records that Fang Xuanling's wife was jealous, and Li Shimin once gave him a pot of vinegar. "So there is the classic of being jealous." According to the verification, the anecdote about Ren Yu, the Minister of the Ministry of war, is recorded in the records of the court and the field. Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, gave Ren Yu's palace maid a gift. When he heard that the palace maid was persecuted by Ren's wife, Li Shimin was so angry that he sent her a drink of wine to show his awe, and Ren's wife drank it all in one gulp. But there was no poison in the wine. Liu Fan of the Tang dynasty recorded a similar story about Fang Xuanling in his book Jiahua of Sui and Tang Dynasties: in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, because Fang Xuanling had helped him, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty tried to reward him with beautiful women several times, but they were all politely refused. Later, I heard that there was a jealous wife in the house, and the queen went out to work for the house wife, Lu, in person, but it didn't work. Li Shimin was angry and said that if he insisted on making mistakes, there would be only one way out. Lu still did not yield and said that he would rather die of jealousy. Tang Taizong asked people to drink a pot of wine and said, "if so, drink this poisonous wine!" Lu took it up and drank it down. In fact, the wine was not poisoned. Later Li Shimin said, "I'm afraid to see her, not to mention Fang Xuanling." According to the biography of Lienv in the new book of Tang Dynasty, Fang Xuanling and his wife are very affectionate. In his early years, Fang was seriously ill and said, "I'm afraid it won't be better. You're still young. Let's have another family in the future." Lu's crying teeth blinded one eye, in order to express his determination to be consistent. Fang Xuanling soon recovered from his illness, and eventually they grew old together. It seems that these two allusions about jealous wife have nothing to do with jealousy.

Now the society is heavy

With the popularization and development of brewing industry, vinegar not only gradually entered the field of social life, but also integrated into people's psychological activities and moral relations, so it should be reflected in the literature of Tang Dynasty. After a lot of work, valuable clues have been found in the literature treasure house of Mingsha Mountain Grottoes in Dunhuang. In the ode to the great joy of heaven and earth, there is a saying that "when you smell vinegar, you will think of a woman who has nothing to do with her; if you don't choose immortality, you won't think of a concubine who has nothing to do with your pillow.". In this paper, "vinegar gas" originally refers to the smell of vinegar; "dross" originally refers to coarse food. Later, because song Hong said in the Eastern Han Dynasty that "the wife of dross does not go to court", people use dross as a substitute for wife; "pillow" originally refers to bedding, which can be referred to as sleep. Throughout the whole sentence, the relationship between vinegar and jealousy is on the paper. The author of this famous Fu is Bai Xingjian, the younger brother of Bai Juyi, a poet of Tang Dynasty. Therefore, it can be concluded that the marriage of "jealous" and "jealous" can be traced back to Tang Dynasty.

The theory of "sour and jealous" should have originated from the Tang Dynasty.
