Flies are always in an endless stream, and when I saw that the people in front of me were hitting the street one after another, the people in the back who wanted to try the birds dispelled their thoughts.

At the dinner table, Xu Xiangbei also felt that he was hugging left and right, it can be said that he was beautiful and delicious, he was full even if he didn't eat, and he ate tofu from time to time in the middle, laughing and laughing, he felt that life was so beautiful.

Some people discussed going to Mandarin Duck Lake, which is a national first-class artificial lake in Jiangcheng and a 3A-level scenic spot!

Tickets are particularly expensive, one person is more than 1,000, it can be said that it is famous far and near, it is one of the major features and highlights of Jiangcheng, not only the scenery is beautiful, but also the air is clear. There are also a variety of animals, and it is said that there is a large zoo inside, and some endangered species such as brown pheasants, sheep crocodiles, black-necked cranes, and white-sided dolphins can be seen in it.

There are also playgrounds, all kinds of facilities, and even KTV, which is not like an attraction, but like a gorgeous community for all kinds of people to play, only you can't think of it, and there is nothing that you can't see and can't buy.

After being full of wine and food, Xu Xiangbei took them and their group straight to Mandarin Duck Lake, bought tickets, and after a group of people entered, they began to play all kinds of games, and then they went on the most famous lake cruise.

The one who rocked the boat was an old man named Zhang Yide, who was not coarse, but a little thin, and had begun to rickets, with a somewhat yellow and black face, a white goatee, some gray hair, and about 60 years old.

He called his ancestor Zhang Fei, and he said that he was the first to be the truth, so he almost used this ancestral statue and genealogy to identify it, and even boasted Zhang Fei's deeds with Xu Xiangbei as soon as he came up, and he spoke with some humor.

"Uncle Zhang, isn't your name the same as your ancestor?" Xu Xiangbei and his party originally wanted to call him Old Man Zhang, but he said that he could just call Uncle Zhang, which made him look younger.

"Young man, my ancestor's surname is Zhang, his name is Fei, the word Yide, his Yide is complementary, and my Yide is the wing of the wing, not the same name. Old man Zhang Yide carefully explained, for fear of offending the name of his ancestors, he couldn't afford it.

It's also strange that when his father named him at that time, he also hoped that he would be like Zhang Fei, so he used Zhang Fei's words, but he didn't dare to use them all, so he changed the middle words, hoping that he would spread his wings like Kunpeng, and his wings would gradually grow and fly.

"So that's what happened!" Xu Xiangbei laughed after listening to his explanation

"Also, this word and name are different in ancient times, don't get confused, the ancients had words, names, numbers, and surnames, and the knowledge in this is broad and profound!"

"What's the difference?" Xu Xiangbei was also interested, and the women next to him were the same, looking at the beautiful scenery***** it was not bad.

Moreover, the Chinese culture is 5,000 years old, broad and profound, and it cannot be lost in this generation. Now it's all about soft power, cultural invasion, and we have to grasp our own traditions, otherwise the Spring Festival in a few years will not become Christmas.

"We only have surnames and first names now, and in ancient times there were a hundred family surnames, which basically included most of the names in China, except for some ethnic minorities. ”

It seems that Mr. Zhang is a loyal lover of the quintessence of China, and he still has a very good study of ancient China.

"I know this, Zhao Qian, Sun Li, Zhou Wu Zheng Wang. Xiao Ailing added with a smile, her face was still a little ruddy after speaking, like answering a question in elementary school, a little shy.

"Yes, little girl, can you still talk?" Old Man Zhang gave her a rewarding look and encouraged her to finish.

In the next second, Xiao Ailing was in trouble, she had read this family name before, but she hadn't memorized it, she could say the first few sentences, and she didn't know it at all. Xu Xiangbei can also say one or two sentences, but none of them can finish speaking, and it is good to be able to say three or four sentences.

When the old man Zhang Yide saw them like this, he smiled, and he didn't embarrass them, and he memorized all the surnames of the hundred families when he opened his mouth, which was catchy and had a special charm, which made people unconsciously want to be silent in it.

The breeze gently blows on the surface of the lake, looking at both sides of the lakeshore, the scenery is pleasant, there are mandarin ducks, and dolphins swimming in it, Xu Xiangbei and his party seem to be integrated into this wonderful picture, forgetting all their troubles.

Finally, it only took about five minutes, and the old man Zhang Yide recited all the surnames of the hundred families.

"Wow, Uncle Zhang, you have a really good back, it's so good!" Xiao Ailing was the first to applaud, and Xu Xiangbei and others also gave a thumbs up.

"It's nothing, a lot of elementary school students used to do it, but now a lot of them have forgotten it. There is also a disciple rule, which used to be memorized, but now it has been abandoned. I basically memorized these words backwards, thinking about ...... back then."

As the saying goes, if there is an old man in the family, there is a treasure. The old man doesn't know how many bridges and roads he has walked and how many he has experienced. Many of them have a wealth of experience, and some of the stories and experiences may seem old, but it has a special flavor, the crystallization of the wisdom of countless of our ancestors.

Xu Xiangbei listened carefully to Mr. Zhang's story, his story from childhood to adulthood, listening to his ups and downs, ups and downs, sometimes boring, but sometimes wonderful, this is how a person's life is constituted.

"I'm going to talk to you about the words, names, and numbers I just said. ”

Obviously, Mr. Zhang likes to chat, he and Xu Xiangbei's group of people chatted for a long time, and everyone didn't get tired of it, and the time was still early, only around two o'clock in the afternoon.

Xu Xiangbei also felt that it was very good to know such an interesting old man, he was gentle and had rich experience and knowledge.

"Uncle Zhang, do you go on, let's all listen?" Gu Xinyan, who was more shy, also took the initiative to speak.

"The name of the ancients is similar to that of today, it is generally given by the elders, and it contains expectations for children. Of course, there are still characters in the general name, which has been handed down, for example, the characters of our Zhang family: De, Kuan, Li, Yuan, Gong, Jing, Yi, Straight, Wen, Thrifty, Lian, Gang, Yi, Chang, Ji, but in my generation, I don't have a name according to the word generation, but there is a family tree!" The old man said, his old face was red, in fact, he didn't choose a name according to the word generation.

"Wow, the culture here is deep, I remember that our Gu family also has a character genealogy, but my sister and I don't have a character generation. Gu Xiangyi spoke, and she thought carefully about her name and her sister's name.

"That's right, parents generally hope that their children will succeed, hope that their sons will become dragons, and their daughters will become phoenixes, so the names generally have special meanings!" Xu Xiangbei was also on the side, thinking deeply.

When he talked about his parents' expectations for their children, Xiao Qiulian's eyes on the side were a little trance-like, as if tears were sliding down in his eyes, only he knew that she didn't know how much hard work and sweat she had paid for the beautiful daughter in front of her.

Xiao Ailing held her mother tightly, she could feel the deep love and hardship.

"Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, so you should respect your parents more in the future and respect your elders!" Old man Zhang has long been a person who has come over, and he can see their expressions at a glance, and he sighs with emotion. He still has children, but he has passed away, but fortunately he has a grandson.

"Speaking of this word, it generally has the same meaning as the name, such as Zhuge Liang, the word Kongming, Yue Fei, the word Pengju, of course, there are many more, and occasionally some words and names have opposite meanings. ”

"I can't imagine that the word is so interesting, why don't we also take a word and play with it!" Gu Xinyan suddenly became playful.

"Okay, I think Xu Xiangbei should face south!" Listening to his sister's words, Gu Xiangyi also began to use his brain, he said unceremoniously.

"How can it be facing south?" Xu Xiangbei felt a little inexplicable.

"Aren't you called Xu Xiangbei? Isn't the antonym of Xiangbei facing south, and it also has synonyms, that is, Chao Man!"

"Isn't it usually synonymous? how come to me is an antonym!" Xu Xiangbei kept protesting.

"You're not an ordinary person, you're not an ordinary person!" Gu Xiangyi sneered unceremoniously, making the people next to her laugh.

"Then you should be called konjac!" Xu Xiangbei is not the kind of person who suffers.

"What do you mean?"

"I heard that this is the most smelly flower in the world, isn't your name Xiangyi? It means pleasant aroma, its antonym is smelly, how good the konjac is, it's a perfect match!"

Everyone also laughed with their own words, teased each other, and then laughed and laughed, which was considered to relieve boredom. After all, just looking at the scenery, there will be times when you get bored.

After going around for a while, Old Man Zhang began to say what is the number again, but he must popularize Chinese knowledge.

The number is generally the humility or self-proclaimed of some literary scholars to show their lofty ambitions, or their indifferent hearts to fame and fortune. For example, Li Bai, also known as Qinglian layman, Qinglian represents elegance and holiness, and the mud is not stained. Of course, the number is also called an alias, and some emperors or scholars also have nicknames after death......"
