Sichuan dialect ｜ Wang Yue'e: Xunzi and Patsuma

Text/Wang Yue'e

When I was a kid, when I opened my meals, adults always told us to give our children: "Go to the dumplings to eat!" I turned around and jumped to get chopsticks. What about the pillars? The pillar is so large, so thick, can hold up the beam and carry the house. In contrast, this thin and short chopsticks are the little witch. Why are they the same name? When I do n’t understand, I ask Grandpa. Grandpa stabbed his white beard, and the groaning said: "The big pillars of the house repair are round and square, which can support the large house and high walls; The round of squares can withstand high temperature and hotness. The round head guarantees the entrance is smooth. The pillar?

After going to school, as I read the verse of Lu You, when I read the verse of Lu You, "Lao Tzu's fasting, and the wooden bamboo bamboos every time", I suddenly understood that it was "Xunzi" not a "pillar"! In order to figure out the evolution of this title, I also specifically checked the information: in the Ming Dynasty, the title of "chopsticks" began to rise. It originated from the Jiangnan area. It is said that there were some taboo customs at that time. For example, the boatman was rowing, avoiding taboos to say "箸", because this means "stop". So in turn, they called "过" as "fast" and pinned the desire of "the boat is unimpeded". Because it was made of bamboo, a bamboo head was added to become "chopsticks". My home is in northern Sichuan, far from the south of the river. No wonder it is still used to the ancient saying "Xunzi". When I told Grandpa about this joy, Grandpa said reluctantly, "It's better to read books, the book has its own reason!"

Like the process of knowing "箸 过", at first I thought it was a "mat", which was the big bamboo mat that the households used to dry food in rural households. When I read Li Qingzhao's word "Red Rongxiang Xiangyu Jade Qiu Qiu", I realized the meaning of the mat. In rural Sichuan, bamboo is planted in front of most families in front of the house. The bamboo after the growing bamboo is classified as a barrier or silk, and it is compiled into a variety of practical family. To the punch,, fish baskets, baskets, etc. Whether it is a small sister -in -law or a large mat, most of them are based on bamboo, so their names have a bamboo head.
