In the context of the great era, not only science and technology are changing with each passing day, but the emergence of new words also makes people overwhelmed.
Take the words comrade and teacher as an example, although they are fundamentally different, people rarely use the word comrade at present, but use the word teacher to refer to them.
I remember when I was in junior high school, the head teacher's surname was Zhang, and he was an amiable person.
He rarely loses his temper, but there are times when he gets angry, and whenever this happens, we will be punished by the teacher.
When Mr. Zhang was punished, he would shout: "Comrades! Comrades! "And then a lot of rambling education.
This reminds me of the revolutionary comradeship, which is that everyone has a common aspiration and a common belief to work together for a better cause.
But I don't know when I don't call "comrade" when we meet, and now I usually call "teacher" when I go out. Even when it was time to get vaccinated, the workers called out to the teacher. Why is that?
OneThe origin of "comrade".
The word comrade comes from the sentence "What is the common life of the common life" in the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Biography of Yuan Shao". It means that everyone is going to die together.
"Comrade" here does not refer to the same person, but to "die together".
It was shouted by a Kuomintang soldier during the War of Resistance Against Japan. Although the word is very straightforward, he hopes that everyone can unite and resist the Japanese invaders together.
Because the propaganda of the Kuomintang was so effective that many people knew the word and believed in it, and many people regarded it as an honor.
For the Communist Party, the word comrade was not a casual term, and at that time, comrades represented a lot of responsibilities and burdens.
A comrade represents absolute trust, and it is likely that you will entrust your life to the other person, so comrade represents many meanings.
But now our social environment has undergone great changes, and sometimes the word comrade has lost its original meaning.
When using this word, it is likely to feel awkward. Why? Look at the meaning derived from comrades and you will understand!
Even if the meaning derived from the individual is not good, the weight of the word comrade is still very heavy, because it is a title developed in that special era, and the meaning of the representation will always exist.
2. Why don't you call "comrade" but teacher?
Due to the development of society, the word comrade is often used to refer to people of equal rank in real life, especially in some large companies, the word comrade is used the most. However, I don't often hear it now, and I occasionally hear it from the older generation.
In the past, the word gay could also be used to address the relationship between boyfriends and girlfriends, and even now it refers to the same sex in a special context, so slowly everyone changed their names.
"Teacher" represents knowledge, wisdom, and is the transmission of knowledge and wisdom.
The word "teacher" has a lot of connotation, and it also carries a lot of weight in people's hearts, and calling "teacher" is also a kind of respect.
In the context of the new era, the requirements for becoming a teacher are getting higher and higher, and this high level is not only in academic qualifications, but also in many aspects. To be a teacher is to be the stars in the ordinary years, willing to shine for the whole galaxy.
In our daily life and work, there are more and more names for teachers, and sometimes the other party is not necessarily a teacher, but just an honorific and title.
This also illustrates a problem, that is, times are changing, and people's thinking is also changing.
After all, in today's society, all kinds of new synonyms have emerged one after another, and we do have to have a suitable word when addressing people who need to be respected, and the word "teacher" does have its own meaning.
This word will make people feel respected, and they will be able to understand each other's words better, communicate on the same frequency, and get along with each other amicably.
Even if the other party's identity is not a teacher, but there is something worth learning from the other party, the word "teacher" is very appropriate.
"Threesomes must have my teacher" is this truth.
When I went to get vaccinated before, the staff also addressed the people as teachers, and everyone was used to calling each other's teachers.
Even if we don't use the word comrade now, it doesn't matter, we leave this word to our predecessors, to stay in that era. In those days, the word comrade had a profound meaning that was easily impossible to decipher.
There is also a network that said that the reason why they don't call comrades anymore is because no one is a person with anyone. Times have changed, and fighting for a common goal is sometimes a luxury, not like then, when everyone would be twisted together for a goal.
In addition, now the title of the boss is prevalent, and everyone will also be called Mr. Zhang, Mr. Wang, and Mr. Li in their interactions to show respect.
Conclusion
During the years of the revolutionary war, the word comrade could be used to refer to revolutionary comrades-in-arms. Now many people use it as a joke, and most people hate this phenomenon. Therefore, slowly comrades were eliminated. However, this word generally still has a certain weight in people's hearts, and whenever it appears on a serious occasion, there must be a sense of identity.
