Chapter 80 There are ghosts in the words

There are ghosts in the words No matter whether we believe in ghosts or not, there are inevitably ghosts in our words.We not only have ghosts in our words, but also cast the character of ghosts, describe the shape of ghosts, and endow ghosts with intelligence.According to our words, ghosts exist and are alive.It has many origins and is very old. What we have are ghost legends, ghost art, and ghost literature.But in a word, we have created ghosts in our own image, just as the religious God created man in his own image.Ghosts are human incarnations, human shadows.We hate the shadow, and sometimes we like the shadow.It is precisely because he is his own incarnation that he can speak vividly and keep talking about it.

"Ghost" is usually not a good word.Saying "this ghost!" is swearing, and so is saying "dead ghost".There are also "smokers", "drunkards", "greedy ghosts", etc., which are not good words.However, there are swearing and swearing, and there are also swearing and swearing; swearing is hate, but swearing is love. As the saying goes, "Beating is pain, scolding is love", which is a clear proof.This kind of scolding, although the scolding person pretends to be itchy, the person who is scolded will feel itchy.Women like to call people "ghost..." "Damn ghost!" This is probably the reason.As for "mean ghosts", "stingy ghosts", "stingy ghosts" and so on, although they are not very endearing, but smiling and cursing will also give people a kind of warmth, but there will be no light-how can ghosts? bright?How can there be ghosts in broad daylight?Of course, there is also the phrase "seeing a ghost in the daytime", which is the same as "seeing a ghost" or "seeing a ghost alive", it just means that you are "neighboring with ghosts" and that you are a ghost.Ghosts have no yang, so there is no light.Therefore, there are only "old ghosts" and "little ghosts", there are no "young ghosts" and "strong ghosts". Sheng, it cannot be a ghost.Young people and middle-aged people can also be ghosts, but there is no way to be a ghost, regardless of age. "It's easy to see the King of Hades, but it's hard to be a little ghost." The "little" is because of their status, so they are terrible and hateful; if they are based on their age, "old ghosts" and "little ghosts" can be both hated and loved. ——If you say "little devil head", it's really kind and warm.Some people like to say "ghost things", but they are just ghosts, "ghosts" are "things", and "things" are "ghosts".All in all, ghosts are greedy, and ghosts are small, so "money makes ghosts grind"; ghosts are a cloud of yin, a dark thing.Humans are also greedy, small, and have dark places. Ghosts are actually shadows that have been passed on for humans.So we only say "good people" and "bad people", but only "bad ghosts"; no matter whether we hate or love, no one has ever said "good ghosts".

"Good ghost" is not a problem, and "beautiful ghost" is not a problem, but "ugly ghost" is often heard.Speaking of "ghost appearance" and "like a ghost" both refer to ghosts.But being ugly is not necessarily uncute, especially like a woman saying "Look at me like a ghost!" "Look at me like a ghost!" Would she really want to teach people to hate her? "Grimaces" are also ghosts, but they are often lovable and laughable.These are funny as ugly. "Guitouguinao" is not only ugly, but also ugly and stingy. "Ghost gall" is also small, and "ghost mind" is also small. Needless to say, "ghost fetus" is a freak, and "pregnant with ghost fetus" needless to say is frightening.Also, the book says, "It's as cold as a ghost's hand!" The ghost's hand is cold, and the corpse is originally cold. "Ghost screaming" and "ghost crying" are harsh and unpleasant. ——"Ghost gall" and "ghost heart" are loved by some people, just for the sake of being pitiful.These are probably the bodies of ghosts that we have seen from our words.

Besides, although "sneaky" is similar to "ghostly", it only depicts the stingy and dull attitude, without pointing out the body parts.This is followed by "a ghost!" Endless circle.We also say "out of tricks", "there are tricks in it", and "patterns" are just "creepy" and "strange"; ghosts are nothing but treacherous, so we say that a person with many tricks is "very ghostly!" The "ghost tricks" in the book and the verbal "ghost tricks" refer to this type of people.This kind of person is only annoying and hated, it's no wonder who falls in love with them!Naturally, the words of such people are often "nonsense".However, the "nonsense" is not necessarily the words of this kind of person, some of them are actually pleasant to listen to, they are simply "children's talk", or "overseas strange talk".Said it was "nonsense"!Even if you don't believe it, you like to hear it, and there are some.Ordinary lies are also called "nonsense", Oscar Wilde said it was reasonable, lies can be very beautiful, as long as they are spread well.Ghosts are not always so shrewd, and there are times when they are sloppy, and this kind of "nonsense" that "doesn't care" is when he is sloppy.Writing bad characters is called "ghost painting talisman", and poor workmanship is also called "ghost painting talisman". They are all sloppy and perfunctory.If you don't even like to say irrelevant "nonsense" and "fu" and don't like "painting", then you are even more "lazy". A "lazy ghost" can also hope that he is not lazy. What he is most afraid of is "fooling around", and "fooling around" is simply worthless.

I have never heard of a "stupid ghost". Ghosts are probably a little bit smart, so the so-called "ghosts are smart". Although "ghost cleverness" is just an unscrupulous little cleverness, it also has great advantages. "What the hell!" Despite your disdain, he's got a set.You laugh, you scold, sometimes you can't laugh, you can't cry, in short, you can't help but let the "ghost stuff" play for a while. There are also serious "ghosts who are smart", and they are called "ghosts" in books.Li He is the only poet known as a "ghost talent". His poems are thick, beautiful and sinister, full of ghostly aura.The next level of "ghost intelligence" is called "ghost work" in books; "ghost work" is dangerous and strange, beyond the reach of human beings.This word is used to praise beautiful landscapes and creations of nature, but it seems to be more used to praise people's literary and artistic creations.There is also "uncanny workmanship", which is naturally wonderful, and it is also this kind of eulogy.Borrowing the light of "God", "ghost" can reach this "naturally wonderful" step, otherwise it is just "dangerous and strange".But it's not easy to borrow light. When discussing calligraphy and painting, "divine grade" is listed first, and "ghost grade" is never listed. It's really pitiful that "ghost" is not top grade.
