The origin of Idioms

The original classic of "childhood plum and bamboo horse" comes from Li Bai's poem "long Gan Xing" in the Tang Dynasty: "Lang rides a bamboo horse and makes green plum around the bed. Living together for a long time, it's easy to guess. "

Idiom story

Li Bai, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, has a five character poem "a journey to Changgan", which describes a woman who is eager to meet her husband from Changgan (now outside the gate of Zhonghua in Nanjing) to changfengsha. At the beginning of the poem, I recall their intimate frolic together when they were young: "Lang rode a bamboo horse, went around the bed to make green plums, lived together in changganli, and the two kids had no problem guessing." Later, we used "childhood sweetheart" and "two little guesses" to show the innocence and purity of our feelings. We can also use "childhood sweetheart and two little guesses" together, with the same meaning. Later, "childhood sweetheart" was used to describe the innocence of men and women playing together when they were young. Now refers to the couple or lovers since childhood. later generations refer to the men and women who have been accompanying and growing up since childhood, especially those who fall in love or get married when they grow up. The same-sex friends who have been accompanying and growing up together since childhood are called "total friends". Of course, even if they grow up and go their separate ways, they can also be called "childhood sweetheart". For example, Ling Hu Chong's younger martial sister Yue calls each other "childhood sweetheart".
