Gaozhou fortune telling is funny.

Taro boiled sugar-naked taro, a perennial herb with edible underground stems, used to be planted in almost every household in rural areas. Because taro is rich in starch and has a compact structure, it is difficult for sugar to penetrate into the middle part of taro when it is used to cook sugar. Later generations used "indifference" as a metaphor for not having confidence in doing things, and being disappointed because it was difficult to succeed.

Handmade noodles with yellow teeth on the west bank of Jordan River The west bank of Jordan River is a suburb of Gaozhou. It was once a place rich in vegetables in Gaozhou, and yellow teeth white (Chinese cabbage) is most famous for its high quality. The stronger the yellow teeth roll, the higher the selling price. So some vegetable farmers' yellow teeth will get cold if they don't roll for two or three days. When the leaves become soft, they roll them into rolls by hand. After soaking in water, it is exactly the same as the yellow teeth naturally rolled out, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. Later generations used this allegory to satirize counterfeiters.

There are two ways to explain the origin of this two-part allegorical saying: there is nothing to do. The late teacher Huang Tingwei wrote an article four years ago, describing the origin of this two-part allegorical saying: According to legend, in Laoshigu, there was a villager in Macun who had little money and had no worries about food and clothing. Because I believe in Buddhism at ordinary times, I set up a small Buddhist temple for Buddha statues at home, found a Buddhist scripture, and prayed to the Buddha when I was free, which was very pious. After all, Chinese characters in Sanskrit are difficult to read, and the sound of "Mosroshi" in Buddhist scriptures is heard by passers-by as "nothing to do". After the rumor of this anecdote of reciting scriptures by idle Chinese spread, it formed an interesting local allegorical saying.

I come from Lima. I have visited many elders and asked the origin of this two-part allegorical saying. They told me that women who got married before liberation had no names, only surnames. Shi Mao and Roche often go to Buddhist temples to recite scriptures together. Because "Shi Mao Roche" and "nothing" are homophonic, it evolved into "reciting Buddhist scriptures and doing nothing". Later generations used this two-part allegorical saying to describe people who ask for trouble or make trouble when doing things.

Tick p fight-double lice (lost lice) is one of the pests. "Double lice" and "double losses" are homophonic, indicating that people's careers are not smooth, and the losses are not only in one aspect, but in many aspects.

The rich thresh-lazy. In the past, grain was not weighed by scales, but by barrels. After the grain is put into a barrel, the barrel surface is leveled with a stick to make a barrel (15 kg). Later generations used "laziness" to describe what others called, which did not meet their own wishes, but refused and ignored it.

Before the liberation of Youdong, the daughter-in-law of Gundam Chu, there was a blind fortune teller named Gundam Chu in Gaozhou. Because he has a glib tongue, many people say that his fortune-telling is very effective. One day, his son married his daughter-in-law, which attracted many neighbors to watch. In front of Gundam, he praised the couple for their beauty. Gundam replied, "I am friends with them." This two-part allegorical saying means unhappy or tragic things that you can't bear to watch, but "too much".
