What did the ancients shout for cheering? After seeing the words, they are elegant and charming
It should be noted that"Come on"It is not a vocabulary introduced from a foreign culture, because it is not expressed in English.
It's not that we drive to the gas station to refuel, because refueling is an action word here, and the cheering that we often cheer for our teammates is a symbol of encouragement and support.
However, there was no such thing as "come on" in ancient times, so what kind of expression should we use when cheering for others?
Why does the word come on trigger a warm response from netizens and be praised as both elegant and charming? Today, let's explore the historical background and evolution of the word refueling.
From the perspective of cultural development, refueling is a derivative word, but the meaning of encouragement and motivation it contains can be traced back thousands of years to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
At that time, the state of Lu faced the attack of the powerful state of Qi, and Duke Lu Zhuang knew that his troops were insufficient, but he did not choose to surrender. This is the original ** of the word refueling, which symbolizes perseverance and courage in the face of difficulties.
Lu Gong had no choice but to lead the army into battle. Although he did not have confidence in this war, because of the strong army of Qi, his heart was also full of fear.
However, Cao Di, a famous strategist of the Lu State, followed Lu Gong and gave him a little comfort. When the two armies set up their positions and the Qi army began to beat the drums of war, Cao Di dissuaded Lu Gong from immediately joining the battle.
In this way, the war drums of the Qi army sounded three times, and the Lu army still did not move, which made the Qi army begin to become lax. At this time, Cao Di suggested to Lu Gong that we should start beating the drum and kill it directly.
As a result, the war drums of the Lu army sounded, the soldiers marched forward bravely, and the Qi army was immediately defeated and dispersed directly.
Lu Zhuanggong asked Cao Di for advice, the strength of the Lu army was not strong, but the defeat turned into victory, what is the reason? Cao Di elaborated that the war drums beat for the first time, and the morale was high, and the enemy was defeated in one go.
This battle is not only a powerful allusion, but also an inspiring model. In one go, it means that you must act immediately and succeed. Many idioms and allusions are inspirational words in themselves, containing the meaning of cheering.
Lu Zhuanggong's story inspired our enthusiasm for exploring Xiqi. Back then, in order to test King Wen of Zhou's literacy, Jiang Ziya personally went out, pretending to be a white-haired old man, and asked King Wen to drive him forward.
At that time, King Wen of Zhou was already in his prime, but in order to get Jiang Ziya's assistance, he did not hesitate to pull the ox cart. However, when the ox cart reached 500 paces, King Wen of Zhou seemed powerless.
So, Jiang Ziya suggested that King Wu take over, and the two took turns pulling the cart, and finally pulled the ox cart to eight hundred steps. Although the ox cart could no longer move, Jiang Ziya got off the cart and gently said the prophecy that "King Wen pulled the cart for 800 steps, and the Western Zhou Dynasty was transported for 800 years".
King Wen of Zhou was deeply remorseful when he heard this, and if he knew this prophecy, he would definitely take a few hundred more steps. This is probably the earliest form of encouragement and refueling.
Time went back to the Southern Song Dynasty, and Yue Fei's mother tattooed the four characters "Serve the country with loyalty" on his back, which was a firm commitment to the simple patriotic spirit of protecting the family and defending the country.
These four words are like the "gas station" where he fought bravely against gold on the battlefield. The origin of the word "refueling" is that there is a view that it originates from a labor trumpet, just like the labor trumpet issued by the slender man when he pulls the fiber on the shore, and its function is not only to keep the laborers' movements consistent, but also to encourage each other to cheer.
Therefore, when we talk about "refueling", we will think of a place called "processing workshop" in ancient times, and one of the jobs is to extract oil. It's a laborious and technical job, but it's also where the word "refueling" comes in.
After a series of processes, peanut rapeseed and even sunflower seeds are turned into oil cakes, which are then placed in special vats and the oil is squeezed out by adding wedges to the sides.
Wedge adding requires everyone's concerted efforts and consistent movements, so it needs the guidance of the labor trumpet. In the eyes of the ancestors, the labor of oil extraction should be the most direct and rude, such as "come on, come on", and the "refueling" here is not only encouragement, but also the expectation of getting more oil.
Here, the meaning of refueling is not only power, but also a cultural inheritance. In ancient China, the word refueling had deep roots and carried the power to inspire people's hearts.
With the passage of time, the meaning of cheering has become more colorful, it is no longer just a simple and direct cheering, but also an expression of literary style. A legend in the Jiaqing period allows us to see the other side of the refueling: Zhang Qiang, who was the governor of Zhejiang at the time, attached great importance to education, especially the concern for students in the cold window.
At that time, in order to seek fame, the students worked hard during the day, and only began to study at night. However, the oil used in oil lamps was very expensive, so the students had to twist the lamps so that they could barely read the words.
This story makes us feel the power of cheering, it is not only words of encouragement, but also a praise for the spirit of perseverance. Here, refueling is not only a slogan, but also an attitude to life and an expectation for the future.
Zhang Qiang deeply understood the hardships and hardships of poor students, so he arranged for messengers to patrol the city with lamp oil at midnight. As long as you find an oil lamp on, it means that there are students who are studying hard day and night.
At this time, the errand officer will not only cheer for this student, but also loudly knock on the bamboo pole and shout encouraging words: "The government has added fuel to the prime minister, and the title of the gold list is in front of you!" ”
Seeing the prefect personally cheering for himself, the morale of the poor students will definitely increase. With the popularity of classical Chinese, straightforward words such as inspirational cheering have also begun to have a new charm.
The firm belief that "where there is a will, there is a way", Sima Qian's lofty ambition, Li Bai's ambition, and Fan Zhongyan's worries about the world before the world, and the feelings of worrying about the country and the people with the joy of the world after the world, have all become a new fashion of inspirational cheering.
Ouyang Xiu's concept of standing up for study and studying, Yan Zhenqing's pride and ambition and the legendary story of the head cantilever cone and thorn have always inspired generations of aspiring young people.
Let's revisit the historical origin of these inspirational words and phrases, and once again realize the value of inspirational cheering in today's era. These inspirational quotes are worthy of the meaning of their existence.
This inspirational has both ancient charm and modern elegance, and the distinctive mark of the times leaps on the paper.
