Many words in history have been misinterpreted and vilified by some people with ulterior motives, and these misinterpreted words just cater to the tastes of some people, or are continued to achieve certain purposes.
"People can be husband" Now people understand that everyone can be her husband. Describes a woman's style. In fact, this is just a literal explanation. "A man can do his best" itself has no meaning of strangeness and lust. It was later that Master Neo-Confucianism took it out of context to harm women.
This allusion comes from "Zuo Zhuan" original text: Mr. Zheng Ligong , and he sacrificed himself to the state. Duke Li was worried about it and secretly made his son-in-law Yong Jiu want to kill and sacrifice to Zhong . Ji's wife was sacrificed to Zhong's daughter. When he knew it, he said to his mother, "Who is close to her father or husband?" The mother said, "It's just one father, and everyone is full of husbands." The daughter then told Ji Zhong, Ji Zhong killed Yongjiu and killed him in the market. Duke Li was not in a vain to sacrificial priest Zhonghe, and said angrily, "It is better to die if you plan to do something to a woman!"
vernacular means that during the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Li of Zheng deeply hated the dictatorship of the prime minister and secretly ordered the son-in-law of the prime minister, Yong Jiu, to kill his father-in-law, and then he could take over the position of the prime minister. Yong Jiu had a bad relationship with his father-in-law, but the relationship between the couple was pretty good. After returning home, I felt a little guilty when facing my wife. My wife Yong Ji saw the problem and asked her after asking her questions. Yong Ji went home and asked her mother: Who is more close to her father or husband? The mother said: There is only one father, and the husband chooses men all over the world. Yong Ji found her father and told her the whole story, and then killed Yong Jiu. Duke Li fled to another country, and sacrificed his life and supported Zheng Zhaogong .
From this allusion, we can see that the current meaning of "people can do their best" is a distortion of meaning and misinterpretation of cutting the beginning and end.
There are many words that are misinterpreted like this. For example, "hiding a beautiful woman in a golden house". Nowadays, people understand , Golden House, , that there is also a woman in addition to husband and wife. Refers to the infidelity of a man to his husband and wife to his family. And this is the allusion of hiding a delicate beauty in the golden house.
Emperor Wu was born in Yilan Palace. He was four years old and was established as the King of Jiaodong. The eldest master held his knees and asked, "Does his son want to get a wife?" The King of Jiaodong said, "I want to get a wife." The eldest master pointed at more than a hundred people on the left and right, and they all said they were not used. At the end, he pointed to his daughter and asked, "Is A Jiao good?" So he smiled and replied, "Okay, if A Jiao is a wife, he should store it as a golden house." The eldest son was very happy, so he wanted to go up and got married.
The tenth son of Emperor Jing of Han is Liu Che . Liu Che was born in Yilan Palace and was named King of Jiaodong by Emperor Jing of Han at the age of four. He has been very smart since childhood. Once, Princess hugged Liu Che in her lap and teased him and asked: Do Cheer want to get married? "Liu Che replied: "I think about it. "The eldest princess smiled and pointed to more than a hundred maids in the palace, and asked him which one he liked, but Liu Che said he didn't like it. The eldest princess pointed at her daughter Chen Ajiao and asked: "Will Gillian be OK? Liu Che smiled and replied, "Okay! If I could marry A Jiao's sister, I would use gold to build a house for her to live in." This is what I call "a golden house hides a beauty."
The eldest princess was overjoyed and asked Emperor Jing of Han to be betrothed to Liu Che. So Liu Che and Chen Ajiao got engaged. Not long after, Emperor Jing of Han changed Liu Che to the crown prince. This is the later Emperor Wu of Han , and Chen Ajiao became Empress Chen.
History always likes to joke, and good stories and good words have to be distorted. Even if it returns its true nature, the long-term concept has been solidified in everyone's mind, and no one wants to use these words on themselves.
In fact, there are many other words and sentences like this that have been unrecognized. For example, "hold your hand and grow old with you." For example, "Heaven and Earth are not kind, and treat all things as straw dogs
