The origin of illegitimate children

In the long oral process, "forgetting eight tails, tortoise eight tails" was misinformed as "bastard", which was related to the pronunciation of three-character combination.

Confucianism advocates "filial piety, filial piety, loyalty, faith, courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame", and "shame" ranks eighth. Some people are shameless, so they are called "forgetting eight" and become "turtles" by spreading false information.

And "bastard" is actually a homonym of "forgetting eight virtues" and "forgetting eight virtues" Some people are disloyal, unfilial, dishonest, self-disciplined, shameless and impolite, and are accused of "forgetting eight virtues" or "forgetting eight virtues".

So now a person with bad morals is called an "asshole".

Extended data:

Turtle is the common name of the tortoise at first, because the texture on the navel of most turtles is a "king" in the middle and two "eights" in the front and back, so the ancients nicknamed the tortoise.

The tortoise really became a curse word in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Ming Metabolism said in "Five Miscellaneous People Four": "Today, people who commit adultery outside their wives regard their husbands as turtles, so they are called turtles."

Your wife commits adultery with an outsider. I think her husband looks like a turtle, so I call him a turtle.

The ancient people were poor in biological knowledge, and thought that the male turtle had no mating ability and the female turtle had to mate with the snake to lay eggs. The turtle's eggs are not the result of mating between a female turtle and a male turtle. Therefore, the ancients called the man whose wife committed adultery a "turtle".
