The first Chinese character story: a funny story about the Chinese character word "bamboo pole" and the Chinese character word "pork liver"

The newly appointed magistrate was from Shandong. Because he had to hang up his account, he said to the master: "Go and buy two bamboo poles for me." Here comes the bamboo pole."

The master misunderstood the Shandong dialect "bamboo pole" as "pork liver" and quickly agreed. He hurried to the butcher shop and said to the shopkeeper: "The new county magistrate wants to buy two pig livers. You are a sensible person, you should know what you are doing!"

The shop owner is a smart person, he understood it as soon as he heard it, and immediately cut off two pig livers and gave him a pair of pig ears as a gift.

After leaving the butcher shop, the master thought to himself: " The master asked me to buy pork liver, and of course these pig ears are mine..." So he wrapped the pig ears and stuffed them into his pocket. Returning to the county office, he reported to the magistrate: "Report to the master, buy the pig liver. Here it comes!"

The county magistrate saw that what the master bought was pork liver, and said angrily: "Where are your ears?" When the master heard this, his face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly replied: "The ears...the ears...are here... In my...my pocket!"

The second Chinese character story: The only empress in Chinese history Wu Zetian Picking a name

It is said that after Wu Zetian, the only empress in Chinese history, ascended the throne, she wanted to name herself a very suitable one. China wants a name to express its own uniqueness and show its own brilliance. But what word can you choose to make yourself stand out? It would definitely not be possible to express it with some familiar Chinese characters, so Wu Zetian wanted to create a character that had never existed before, so that there would be no repetition. Speaking of creation, there was a feudal superstition about the sun and the moon at that time. They all thought that the sun and the moon were sacred. Wu Zetian compared herself to the sun and the moon. She wanted to hang herself in the sky like the sun and the moon forever, so she got that word. , the sun and moon are in the sky: Zhao.

曌: zhao

曌 means: It probably means that the sun and the moon are in the sky, bright and broad.

The third Chinese character story: The story brought by the four Chinese character words "天心得米"

Once, the northern Huns were about to attack the Central Plains, and they sent a "battle list" first. The emperor opened it and took a look. It turned out to be the four characters "Tian Xin Gets Rice". None of the civil and military ministers in the Manchu Dynasty could solve this mystery. The emperor had no choice but to publish a list to recruit talents. At this time, an official in the palace named He Tang said that he had a plan to retreat, and the emperor urgently announced that He Tang would go to the palace.

He Tang pointed to the four words on the "War Table" and said to the emperor: "The sky is my country; the heart is the Central Plains; the rice is the Holy One. The heart of heaven takes rice, which means to seize the country and the king. position." The emperor asked anxiously: "What should we do?" He Tang said, "It doesn't matter, I have my own way to retreat." As he said that, he took the pen in his hand and added one stroke to the original letter. Gave it to someone.

The marshal who led the Huns thought that the Central Plains did not dare to fight, but when he took it apart, he was shocked and ordered his troops to retreat.

It turns out that after He Tang added one stroke to each of the four characters "Tian Xin Qu Mi", it became "I may not dare to come".

The fourth Chinese character story: A joke caused by wrong words

Once upon a time, there was a playboy who was lazy and did not study hard since he was a child. When I grew up, I often made jokes because of typos.

One day his wife said she wanted to eat loquats . He took out a piece of paper from the table and wrote a few words on it. After finishing writing, he called his servant to buy loquats. His wife took the paper, looked at it, and burst into laughter. It turns out that it says "Buy Pipa for five pounds". Two of the five characters were written incorrectly, and "Loquat" was mistakenly written as "Pipa". After his wife read it, she wrote a limerick at the back:

Loquat is not like this pipa,

It’s just because of poor literacy back then.

If the pipa can bear fruit,

the flutes and drums will fly all over the city.

This dandy saw his wife’s poem and blushed with embarrassment. "Loquat" and "Pipa" have the same pronunciation, both pronounced pípa, which are homophones. But "loquat" is a kind of fruit, and "pipa" is a stringed instrument , with completely different meanings and writing methods.

The fifth Chinese character story: I got slapped because of Chinese characters.

I often write the wrong strokes when writing a Chinese character. Once when I was making a roster, I wrote the character "阝" in the character "Chen" on the right side, and was slapped twenty times by the superior. From then on, the scholar remembered that "阝" should be written on the left side. Unfortunately, he wrote the wrong character "Zheng" again and received another twenty blows. One day, a man surnamed Nie asked him to write a petition. The clerk was shocked: "I wrote two characters for 'er' and got forty blows. You got three more characters for 'er' and it cost me my life." Ah? ”

The sixth Chinese character story: the Chinese character story of Tuan and Yuan. One morning, “Tuan” was shopping and suddenly saw “Yuan”. He greeted him enthusiastically: “Hello Yuan!”

"Member" said: "I don't know you?"

"Tuan" said: "We went together to pay New Year greetings to others and wish them family reunion. Why did you take off your coat when the weather got hot? Do you know me?”
