16What does it mean to be green?

Ten feet of black cloth - guess the nickname of the character of Liangshan. The answer to the mystery is naturally a piece of green.

Yizhangqing is the nickname of Hu Sanniang, and its meaning has always been different.

There are five main ways to say this:

First, "a zhang of green" is a metaphor for the intensity of spring.

In short, beautiful. This statement originates from Gong Sheng's description of Yan Qing in "Thirty-six Praises of Song Jiang": "Pingkang Lane Mo, how do you know your name." The big line of spring is green. ”

Second, "Yizhang Qing" means that he is tall.

It is to describe Hu Sanniang as tall and graceful, and from the current point of view, it is a devil figure like a model.

Third, "Yizhang Qing" is a poisonous snake.

It is said that there is a kind of poisonous snake in the Xiangshan area of Beijing, which is fast and poisonous, and is a highly poisonous thing that makes people look forward to changing color.

Fourth, "Yizhang Qing" is a kind of jewelry for ancient women.

This kind of jewelry has a unique shape and a peculiar design, with a head in the shape of an axe or snake spear and a sharp and sharp tail, which is not only used for decorative beauty, but also serves as a woman's wolf defense to some extent.

Fifth, "Yizhangqing" refers to tattoos.

Mr. Yan Dunyi pointed out in "The Evolution of the Water Margin": "One zhang refers to its length, and green refers to the color of embroidery." That is, it refers to tattoos.

The author cannot fully agree with the above five statements. Therefore, the sixth point of view is put forward –

"Yizhang" is easy to understand, and it should refer to Hu Sanniang's tall figure. "Yizhang" and "green" are connected, and it is certainly not the meaning of "ten feet of black cloth".

"Green is taken from blue, and green is taken from blue." This is a sentence in Xunzi's "Persuasion", which is very famous. That means "indigo is extracted from bluegrass, but its color is greener than bluegrass." "It is a metaphor that the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and one generation is stronger than the next.

The blue of a zhang blue should refer to the color, and it is the most likely. A tall woman, what "cyan" thing is the most eye-catching? I think it's hair that is the most likely. Tall, with long hair like clouds, and running on a horse, he must be very stylish. "Long hair to the waist" - maybe more than "waist-length", maybe longer than the body.

Hu Sanniang's height will not be one zhang long, but the hair is likely to be one zhang long, and the ancients generally did not cut their hair.

There is a woman named Xie Qiuping, her dark, bright, long and beautiful hair, once won the Guinness World Record for Long Hair with 3.869 meters. In 1999 it grew to 5.085 meters, which is breathtaking. Once again, she broke the Guinness World Record, which she held herself.

In 2005, her hair grew to 5.627 meters.

It is speculated from this that Hu Sanniang's hair has grown to a zhang long, which is very likely. Therefore, the author believes that "Yizhang Qing" refers to Hu Sanniang's hair.
