Chapter 9 talk about Bian Bian

Unfortunately, Mr. Chen Shui-bian has turned his back on him this year, and Mr. Ma Ying-jeou will take over.Monk Kong once asked a thought question in his blog, what is the combination of the word "flat" and the word "horse"?This question is so simple that it is almost at the elementary school level, and it seems to be fooling the public's IQ. Therefore, many people thought about it a step further, and realized that behind this question contained Monk Kong's hidden worries about Taiwan's future. In fact, this is not the invention of Monk Kong.A full hundred years ago, that is, in 1908 AD, the 34th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Xiaopei (1872-1913, a famous writer of the Guangdong Revolutionary Party, pen name "Descendants of the Yellow Emperor", nicknamed "One World") was published in Japan He wrote a denunciation novel called "Da Ma Bian".This "Da Ma Bian" satirizes Kang Youwei, the leader of the royalist party.The book uses the mouth of a character to say: "You still believe in Kang Youwei! My Cantonese don't call him a madman? In fact, he pretends to be a fool, and he is dedicated to deceiving others. He has no knowledge at all, and he claims to be Confucius. , is actually just a rascal.”

It is unfair to belittle Kang Youwei so much. Kang Youwei is also a great scholar and thinker, except for TOEFL, he is excellent in all subjects.This was nothing more than the enthusiasm of the revolutionaries at that time, wishing to overthrow all the conservatives.In today's terms, it is "extreme left".On the contrary, in the preface of the book "Master Suo Gong, the owner of my hut", he said a few fair words, saying that although "Kang and Liang two people, ostentatious overseas, used the topic to deceive, and set up a new look in the world of Ma Bian", But this is "society harming Kang Liang, not Kang Liang's harming society. Kang Liang's deceit is not Kang Liang's crime, but society's crime. Husband and society are not fair, and money is actually the root of all evil. Money, that is, human beings cannot live without evil. Unfortunately, Kang Liang was not born on the day of social equality. Since he was born, he has been immersed in the smell of money and copper. The confusion is so deep that it is false, and human emotions are generally the same. Is it enough to help traitors? Therefore, our dialects say that Kangliang is too busy, so can you deceive him into Kangliang's crime?" He also said that "overseas nationals are blinded by the situation of the motherland and have preconceived ideas." This is how Kangliang was fooled.

All in all, what he meant is that the money society and human desires flowed, which led to the emergence of "Da Ma Bian".Whether they talk about reform or revolution, whether they talk about Taiwan independence or unification, they are all for personal fame and fortune. How can there be a real hero?So "Kangliang" was defeated, "Jiang Wang" appeared again, "Liu Deng" was defeated, "Lin Jiang" appeared again, Tiandihui was defeated, Qinghong Gang came out again, Ma Sanli was defeated, and then came out again A Guo Degang.There are endless generations in life, and Ma Bian is only similar year after year.We ordinary people, in most cases, can't tell who is a real hero and who is a hypocrite, so "don't talk about state affairs" is a good way to settle down.Today we don't talk about the height of the horse, nor the lowness of the flat, but only from the perspective of language, let's just talk about the word "flat" for "flat-haired beast".

"Shuowen Jiezi" explained the meaning of "Bian" and said: "Bian, the department also, from the household register. The household register, the department's door." This is the interpretation method of "Chaizi". It is divided into "household" and "book", and the mark written on the door is called "flat".Later, the word "Bian" had more meanings, so I set up a separate word for this meaning, added a frame, and wrote it as "plaque".For example, if there is a wooden board nailed above the security door of your home, and it says "Neaten Chicken", or "White Tiger Festival Hall", or "Satyr Club", then it is called "plaque".However, some people suspect that this is not the origin of the word "Bian", because the earliest characters are all pictographic characters. From the perspective of pictograms, "Bian" has four legs below and a donkey head and horse face on the top, so it is called "Bian". "flat" must not be far from the beasts.Some Chinese character testers said that under the word "Bian" there are three "empty tooth sockets", with grooves and no teeth, so anyone called "Bian" is a liar and cannot be trusted.This explanation is probably a bit gossip, and has nothing to do with philology, but belongs to "interpretation of rivers and lakes".Some narrow-minded ghosts said that the Chinese character "Bian" means that half a wild donkey was shot horizontally in the stomach. Teacher Kong felt that this was a blatant personal attack, so it is not acceptable to list it here.

"Bian" is written on the door, which is recognized.But not all the words written on the door are called "flat".If it is written vertically, it is called "forehead", only if it is written horizontally, it is called "flat", collectively called "plaque".From this, a metaphorical meaning of "bian" came into being: broad and thin things were gradually described as "flat", and nouns became adjectives.Such as "lentils", "horse pole", "tonsils".Since "flat" things are generally not full enough and have a weak three-dimensional effect, things that are "out of round" and "unable to bulge" are also called "flat".Dumplings are not as round as steamed stuffed buns, so they are called "Bian Shi", and "flat feet" are also called "flat feet". Girls with flat bodies are called "Princess A Bian" and so on.In modern novel theory, there is a pair of concepts called "round characters" and "flat characters".Professor Ma Zhenfang of Peking University invented a "conical figure" as a supplement to the two.

Both nouns and adjectives in Chinese can often be used as verbs. If you want to flatten something that is not flat, you can directly say "Bian Zhi".Things can be flattened, and people can also be flattened. In modern Beijing dialect, it means "Pip your bastard", and when translated into Shandong dialect, it means "I beat up your brother-in-law".It can be seen that after the word "bian" becomes an adjective, it often assumes some less positive meanings.Looking at people through the crack of a door—it’s not a good thing to look down on people.Three circles and four not flat, this is not a good word.It's a painful meal, and it's not a good word.

Most of the other characters derived from the word "Bian" are not very decent. Adding the word "person" to the word "bian" is called "bias", which means "wrong" and "incomplete".If you are biased, you are not suitable to be a leader; if you listen to and believe, you are not even suitable for the masses.Zou Yang's "Shangliang Wangshu in Prison" said: "So listening to one's side creates traitors, and acting alone creates chaos." Incorrect opinions are called "biased", so "Shangshu·Hong Fan" teaches us to be "unbiased and unbiased".Marrying a wife but already has a wife in the family is called "Pianfang", living in an unpopular area is called "Pian'an", and if the emperor goes to a remote place to linger on his last breath, it is called "Pian'an".The teacher's questions are called "deviant questions", and the students scold the teacher who gives out the wrong questions, which is called "extreme", and they always discriminate against extreme students, which is called "prejudice".A flat fish lying horizontally in the water may be a "partial mouth fish". Half of the body is inconvenient to move, which is called "partial dryness" or "hemiplegia".Pushing the hemiplegic wife around to deceive people, and it happens to be hit by a bullet, which can cause the political situation to be deflected, and the deformity wins.

The word "bias", in Northeast China, used to be a special Jianghu term, referring to "bad girl".In the 1960s and 1970s, the vast majority of urban teenagers were physically and mentally healthy, full of vigor, and had no pressure to enter higher education, nor did they need to work or sell themselves. Except for a few perverted students like Monk Kong who studied all day long, the rest of the brothers and sisters were full of food all day long, idle about, and lived a happy life. "Sunny Day".So there are a few precocious floating youths among them. The males are generally referred to as "Little Hooligans" or "Little Land Ladies", while the females are called "Circle Circles" in the Beijing area-this is how they are called in current TV dramas. People like Wang Shuo, Ye Jing, Fu Biao, Feng Xiaogang have found their youthful feelings from this title. The reason why I like the works of these people is because they are faithful to their own historical memory, and they will never follow those traitors to slander their youth. .I understand them very well, but I think the word "circle" is indecent.For a long time in Northeast China, girls who wandered the streets were called "horses", and if men hooked up with them, they were called "hanging horses".This is also a very indecent name.In the Northeast, you will not be discriminated against if you fight, kill and set fire, or even usurp the party and power.There are mainly two kinds of behaviors that are looked down upon by others, one is "little stealing", that is, petty theft, and the other is "hanging horses".Heroes should not be close to women, because the glorious revolutionary tradition is still preserved in the Northeast.If someone's son is accused of "hanging horses", he will be ashamed to face others.If someone's daughter is accused of being a "horse", her status is not as good as today's escort lady.Therefore, when quarreling between neighbors or bus passengers, you can scold the third generation and the cousin, but you must not call the other party a "horse" until you can't bear the blood and blood.

On the first floor of Building No. 3 across from my house, there is a bitch. Her parents often scold her, at most they scold her as "a bastard", "stinky and shameless" and so on.But one summer, she scolded her mother, made her furious, grabbed the broom and beat her, and she pushed her mother back and jumped out of the window.Her mother jumped onto the window sill and yelled: "You little bastard!" The daughter did not show any weakness, and responded loudly: "You old bastard!" , their whole family couldn't lift their heads when they went out. After the word "mazi" became too rough, I don't know when, in the wandering group of wandering teenagers, they began to call horses "bias".I speculate that the origin probably means "undecent, undecent".The pronunciation of this word is ethereal, mysterious, and even poetic.Now when I listen to the part of the Peking opera "Second Entry into the Palace", "The country is too big to let go", I feel that the country is a bit like "side", and I can't help but laugh secretly.The previous "hanging horse" was renamed "flickering", which sounds like a kind of artistic work.When I came to Beijing later, I met many artists, musicians and dancers with fluttering hair. Although we are good friends, I still have a prejudice in my heart. deep.

The general "bias" is called "small bias", and the senior "bias" is called "big bias", which is roughly equivalent to today's "mature women".There are often a few idle brothers gathered in front of the building, pointing to the girls passing by on the road, and judging which one is "partial" and which one is not.Sometimes stretching your neck and shouting: "Hey, Xiao Pian, come over and eat popsicles." The girls generally ignore them, and occasionally meet a vehement reply: "Your mother is Pian! Go home and fool your mother." Go." When those brothers joked with each other, they would also say: "Your face is blue, did you fool around last night?" Or say: "Let's find a few little ones to fool around? Eat popsicles, my treat. "

Other so-called decent people, including good students, workers, and cadres, also often talk about pornographic topics, and new dirty jokes and stories are produced almost every month.The difference from now is that those jokes are purely pornographic and have nothing to do with politics, let alone alluding to national leaders.Politics is also a hot topic, but it is carried by "grape information".There are several well-informed and eloquent people in our "Eighteen Heavens Building", which is equivalent to Yang Jinlin of Phoenix Satellite TV and Shan Tianfang, a master of storytelling.Their programs are divided into categories called "Gossip," "Case Solving," "War Fighting," and "Rogue."Among them, "rogue" is the erotic category, including several sub-categories such as "hanging horses", "making love", "making broken shoes" and "couples", which is surprisingly similar to the classification method of Song and Yuan storybook novels.Those of us children love to listen to "case-solving" and "war-fighting", such as "The Plum Blossom Party", "An Embroidered Shoes", "Dark Green Corpse", "Xu Shiyou Playing Big Knives", "He Long Two Kitchen Knives", " Zhenbao Island Beating Lao Maozi" and so on.Adults generally like to listen to "gossip", while those unscrupulous teenagers like to listen to "rogue".Now some people are preaching that the Cultural Revolution period was an "era of abstinence".At that time, although it was not as sexual as it is now, the relationship between men and women was still very open. Young lovers or couples "pressed the road" generously, ate ice cream, and kissed when there were no street lights. All parks have Young men and women have wild sex, and the children blow up the condoms as balloons when they find them.If a very few bad policemen want to make a fortune, they go to arrest them, and they can be fined three to five yuan every night.Of course, the traitors wanted to attack the Cultural Revolution because they wanted to commit a crime, and there was nothing wrong with it. When their rumors went bankrupt, they would turn to attack the housing shortage at that time, so the young people went to the park.I partially agree with this point of view. At that time, the population rose from 600 million to 800 million, and housing was indeed relatively tight.But the main thing is that the environment in the park is elegant and romantic.Today's college students and white-collar workers are more stressed about housing, but the parks can't afford to go, and the copper stench is everywhere, which is not as good as the campus.If a person's heart grows sideways, he must be wearing "polarized glasses" when looking at problems.It is nonsense that the Chinese people have been abstinent for ten years, so where did China's rapidly growing population of hundreds of millions come from?Those friends who are full of hatred for the happy life of ordinary people, you simply say that during the Cultural Revolution there were landslides and tsunamis every year, the Communist Party massacred ordinary people from morning to night, and they have not seen the sun for ten years, or there are "partial solar eclipses" every day. Wouldn't it be more hateful? The topic is far away, and it goes to the sky as soon as it is deviated. "Partial" and "flat" are naturally related. If you are narrow-minded, you will be flat when you look at others.In fact, the word "flat" can also be read as "bias".For example, "Bian Zhou" has two reading methods.If it means "arranging all the boats into a boat", it should be pronounced as "bian".If it means "a small boat", read "Bi" in a flat tone.Li Bai Xuanzhou Xie Tiaolou's poem said: "Life is not satisfactory in the world, and the Ming Dynasty distributed flat boats." Su Shi's "Ode to the Former Red Cliff" said: "Driving a flat boat with a leaf, holding a bottle to belong to each other." Therefore, "flat boats" , can also be written as "Pianzhou", or directly written as a character: "艑".During the Warring States Period, there was a famous doctor named Qin Yueren, and people called him "Bian Que" after the name of the ancient genius doctor. There is also an article "Bian Que Meets Cai Huan Gong" in the current Chinese textbooks.The pronunciation of "Bian" in "Bian Que" is controversial.Most people and dictionaries read the word "Bian" in "Ban pole", which is a phonetic word.However, some people advocate reading "bias", a flat tone character, while others advocate reading "bian", a de-sounded character.Monk Kong specifically consulted relevant materials and found that this debate happened as far back as the Tang Dynasty.Monk Kong’s major is the study of novels. There is an important historical material in the history of novels, "Youyang Miscellaneous Cues" written by Duan Chengshi of the Tang Dynasty, which records: At the end of Taihe, because of my brother's birthday, I watched miscellaneous operas.Some people in the city called "Bian Que" and "Qi Que" in their novels.People in the city say that twenty years ago, when a scholar tried to set up this place at the Zhaihui in Shangdu, a scholar praised him for calling the word "Bian" and "褊" in the same voice.I thought it was wrong, so I laughed out loud.A recent reading of Zhen Liyan's "Materia Medica Yinyi" quoted Cao Xianyun: "Bian, Bu Dian is reversed. Today's Bu Dian is not true. The surname of Bian Que is Qin, and the word is Yueren. Bian County belongs to Bohai Sea." How should this word be pronounced? Friends who are interested in the history of phonetics can read the papers of the famous linguist Professor Ye Guitong and Peking University Professor Geng Zhensheng.What Monk Kong wants to tell you here is that the pronunciation of people in the Tang Dynasty is relatively close to today's, at least the two pronunciations of the word "Bian" are consistent with today's.Therefore, the civilization of the Chinese nation is inherited in one continuous line. No matter you go to Taiwan or the United States, if you owe a debt, someone will naturally beat you.Unlike those barbarian countries with alphabetic writing, the pronunciation has undergone great changes in three to five hundred years, so grandchildren do not recognize their grandfathers, and future generations do not recognize their ancestors.As for student A Bian who keeps saying that he is not Chinese, how should he pronounce the word "Bian"?Is it pronounced as "killing me" or "peeling my clothes"?If you go back to the Tang Dynasty and ask, Qin Shubao and Yu Chigong will probably say without hesitation: "It's Bianzhi's Bian!" If "horse" is added to the word "bian", it is "cheating", which is well known.But some experts questioned, what does lying and cheating have to do with "horses"?Horses are much more honest than us humans.From the perspective of pictographic characters, the character "Bian" itself is an animal, so why tie up a "horse"? Little Ma is completely innocent.The word "cheat" is actually derived from the misspelling of the word "谝". If the beast "Bian" speaks and adds a word "yan" next to it, it is called "谝", which was later extended to bragging and chatting.Up to now, in the northwestern provinces, irresponsible gossip is called "谝".Once I went to a university in Xi'an to give a lecture, and I was surrounded by a group of enthusiastic girls, saying, "I don't want to let you go today, I want to have a good time with you today." I said, "It's just a free time Chuan? You go and buy two roujiamo for the hungry—spray some oil and pepper, and see what you can come up with.” The Shaanxi dialect “Xian Xian Chuan” is pronounced similar to “skimming the dry boat”, It sounds very close to the people, especially grassroots.If Mr. A-bian, the master of Taiwan's "land boat skimming", used Shaanxi dialect to run for the election, then Ma Ying-jeou might have no hope in his life. If the word "Bian" is added to the side of the foot, it becomes "蹁", which is equivalent to having an extra foot, which means that walking is not straight.If you add the side of the stone, it will be "碥", which means a crooked stone growing on the shore.If you put it next to the fire, it means "stir", which means that the dish is half-cooked.For example, "dry-stir-fried lentils" is a famous dish. If the lentils are overcooked, they will be softer than the bones of traitors. The word "flat" is added next to the insect, which is a "bat" that everyone fears and hates when they see it. The word "bian" is added next to the fish, which means "bream". It is a kind of small flat fish with its head sharpened and drilled everywhere. It is very delicious after being stewed with green onion cooking wine for a while. The character "Bian" is covered with clothes, which is a narrow-minded "褊", and covered with silk clothes, it is a made-up "bian".Only when you wear a bamboo hat and become a long-winded "article", can you have a bit of a cultural atmosphere.If you glue the wings and dance "Pianpian", it will add a bit of charm, but if you don't do it well, it will become "Century-year-old Monster Dance Pianpian". The word "Bian" is best to choose "thirty-six strategies are the best". "Over and over", can be regarded as a tasteful life experience. It seems that the rustic "Bian" hides many mysteries, and it is an unusual word.No wonder Mr. Chen Shui-bian dared to use "too many bamboos to write down" to describe the great achievements of all walks of life in Taiwan. This means that Taiwan using traditional characters has a higher level of language than the mainland using simplified characters. This is indeed a big gap with us ordinary Chinese.Just from the analysis of the word "Bian" that is missing in this article, it is also sufficient to prove what a great name Mr. Bianfu gave him. There is a cross talk called "Looking at the Plaque". Several myopic eyes are arguing about the words on the plaque, but in fact the plaque has not yet been hung.However, what Monk Kong wants to say is that even if the plaque has been hung for several years, decades, or hundreds of years, such as the "Upright and Bright" plaque in the Forbidden City, and the "All Under Heaven" plaque written by Sun Yat-sen, Did we understand the words on the plaque? The ancients said: "Where is the return journey, the long pavilion is shorter." The monk said: "Where there is no flat, big flat plus small flat." Fortunately, not all big flats.
