Where did you get the saying that a slight chill froze people to death?

There is a saying in Sichuan that a slight cold freezes people to death.

While celebrating the bumper harvest and welcoming the New Year, there is also a saying in the great cold, which is usually said together with "3949, frozen pigs and frozen dogs". In fact, the old man is a proverb in Sichuan, and similar proverbs in other places are "slight cold, freezing old people to death." The old people here should generally refer to those lonely old people who lived at the bottom and had no social security in ancient society. That's what Du Fu meant when he said that "the wine in Zhumen stinks and the bones on the road freeze to death".

In fact, the old people not only refer to the old people who froze to death in the past, but also refer to those who are left unattended and precarious. In winter, they have nowhere to hide, and they can only tell their fortune when they can survive. The reason why Sichuan is so old-fashioned is also the reason why Sichuanese were called Sichuan Man Zi at that time.

Ancient Shu was the land of Bashu.

In fact, those ancient places in the Central Plains are biased against Bashu. Because Sichuan is cut off by the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, and communication with the Central Plains is not smooth, the Central Plains is biased against it and considers it a wild land.

Outsiders call Sichuanese Man Zi, and there is a "Man Zi wind" in Sichuan. Sichuanese always judge things according to their own experience, and it is inevitable that they will disagree with mainlanders. Before being persuaded, they often die and stick to their opinions, which has become the "square skull" of Sichuan! There is a tradition of argumentative writing in history. In the long run, it has developed a strange habit of "cunning" in its mouth, and it is strange that it is not called "Man Zi, Sichuan" by mainlanders!
