Do you know what people in Shexian High Street say?

Do you know why Shexian people call the toilet Gao Jie?

Gao Jie, do you know where it is?

Gao Jie, do you know what he means?

Many people like to take it out of context and take it literally. High street should be understood as high-end street or high-end club, just like Wall Street in Manhattan, Chinatown, Chang 'an Avenue in Beijing and so on. ...

You can't exaggerate how beautiful and luxurious the high street is in other places, but if you are in Shexian and don't know where the high street is, it will make people laugh!

You are embarrassed. Am I wrong? No, of course not. When you know the true meaning of high street through what channels, you will find that your understanding is really different from that of high street in Shexian County.

High street, as you understand it, is actually a place where the grain circulates.

Will the huge psychological gap make you dumbfounded? Next, I think this name is too unreasonable and illogical!

I think Shexian dialect is so corny that the soil is falling off.

However, you are wrong again. When you carefully look at the location of Shexian people's toilets and the regional characteristics of Shexian county, you will find that Shexian people are not only ignorant, but also many other people in Shexian county can't understand and understand the name, which actually contains a wonderful porch.

At this time, you should be impressed and even admire the wisdom of Shexian people.

The following is a sentence from my Weibo, with the title: Shexian dialect hut.

In Shexian county, some people call the toilet, others call it Mao. Many people don't understand. Listen to me:

In the eyes of poor farmers in Shexian county, toilets are not suitable houses. They are simple and rough to build. At first, they were all paved with grass or straw on the roof ... and then covered with wheat straw mud. Because of thatched roofs, they are called huts or toilets. Later, in order to save trouble, people called it Mao for short!

The appearance of the word high street is naturally closely related to the local geographical characteristics.

Shexian county is an out-and-out mountainous area, located in the fold of the majestic Taihang Mountain. Going out is a mountain. There is a poem to prove it: you can see the green hills when you look up, but it is difficult to find half a step. ...

Surrounded by mountains, the stone is thick and the soil is thin, and the land is especially precious.

At the beginning of the village, all ancestors dug holes to live in. Later, with the increase of population and social progress, people have higher requirements for living conditions, and caves naturally cannot meet people's requirements for housing. Therefore, we have to build a house, and building a house must occupy an area, and the land is very tight and scarce, so this kind of seesaw contradiction appears.

In order to solve this problem, generations have made two-way adjustments in land and housing. The house should be built, but not extravagant. The building area should generally not exceed 2: 5.

With the house, the next problem is Lazar's food and drink. Where is the toilet built? The construction area is limited and the cost is expensive. It can be said that it is an inch of land and gold, and the toilet cannot be without it.

So most people choose to build toilets on the edge of the street outside the housing base, but the problem is that when it rains, it is easy to fill the toilets with rainwater, so people must build toilets higher than the streets, and the word "high street" comes into being.
