According to historical records, during the Daoguang period, there was a man named Zhang Ai in Anlong County who worked as an official for more than 30 years. He paid the most attention to education in his life. During his tenure, he will send two officers to patrol the city at midnight with tung oil baskets. One in front is carrying a lantern, and the other in the back is carrying a tung oil basket. As long as you see a family with lights on and the sound of reading,

The two will stop and sing loudly: "Futai adults cheer for Xianggong!" After the scholar opened the door, a servant behind put down the oil basket, took out the oil tank, scooped out clear tung oil from the oil basket, poured it into the scholar's lamp, and said, "Fu's adult, I wish" xianggong "a good study and gain fame." Then he went to another house with the lights on and the sound of reading.

In this way, every night, he added lamp oil to the scholars in Anlong City. Zhang Ai persisted for 13 years, rain or shine, every night. Thanks to Zhang E's unremitting efforts, the style of study flourished and a number of talents were trained. 10 years, more than 20 juren, 8 Gong Sheng and 2 Jinshi were admitted. This is the origin of "refueling".

The development of "refueling":

1, Jane Xiao Bin's short story "Youyou Shuimo", which said that the word "refueling" may come from the oil mill. The word "Come on" was originally a labor song-it was called by China people when they were squeezing oil. The traditional oil pressing technology is to bake, grind and steam raw materials such as peanuts, sesame seeds or tea seeds to make cakes, put a plurality of cakes into a wooden press tank, and then add wooden wedges one by one on the right side (or both ends) of the tank.

However, wedging is a hard work. Generally, it takes several people to grasp the rope, hammer handle or hammer body, which is a bit like ringing a bell and hitting a wooden wedge forward with a suspended stone hammer or wooden hammer. So everyone or the clappers will shout their songs at this time, such as "One, two, three, come on" and "Come on, don't cough".

"Adding" means adding wooden wedges and increasing oil production at the same time; "Refueling" should mean "increasing oil production", not "refueling" in all other explanations. The sound of the oil horn varies from time to time and from place to place. The preconceived concept of "refueling" when understanding the literal meaning makes people forget the original intention of the word "refueling" as soon as they leave the oil mill.

2. Later, literary works used the metaphor of "refueling" to make further efforts. Chapter 3 of Du Pengcheng's Defending Yan 'an: "Director Yang looked at the words recorded in this book and said,' ... Come on, comrades! ”"。

The word "refueling" comes from Northeastern University funded by Zhang Xueliang. At that time, China didn't have a good word to cheer! Later, the word "refueling" was also extended to encourage latecomers to climb to the top, especially in competitions and venues, as a refueling language to encourage players.

For example, in the Beijing Olympic Games, China audience friends cheered for the athletes from both sides. They didn't care who won, but they didn't know how to translate the word "refueling" in front of foreign friends. Professor China Language and Culture University explained that the word "refueling" comes from China, and it has no Chinese meaning in English or any other language, so the best explanation for refueling is "refueling"!

Allusions to refueling:

Liu Bowen, the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, wanted to compete with Zhuge Liang, the wise man of the previous dynasty, and achieved great things. It's a pity that Zhu Gekongming died for many years, which makes Liu Bowen unparalleled. One day, soldiers in Liu Bowen reported that they had dug a grave and suspected that it belonged to Zhuge Liang. Liu Bowen was surprised and went at once. When I saw it in the tomb, it was quite atmospheric. The top is engraved with the Big Dipper, the bottom is engraved with nine Yellow Rivers, and the middle is a sarcophagus decorated with exquisite patterns.

There are several vats next to the sarcophagus, which are arranged in steps. There is a small hole under each barrel, facing the edge of the barrel mouth below. There is an oil lamp beside the bottom bucket, which is still burning. After careful analysis, Liu Bowen realized that every barrel was full of oil, dripping from top to bottom until the last oil lamp. The oil in these vats has been burning for this oil lamp for hundreds of years, which is really an ever-burning lamp.

Liu Bowen respectfully approached the oil lamp, only to find that all the oil in the barrel had been used up, only a little oil was left in the oil lamp, and the lamp was about to go out in the breeze. Liu Bowen couldn't help laughing: "Zhuge Liang, I will miss you forever. The ever-burning lamp burned for hundreds of years after death, but it will eventually go out in front of my Liu Bowen! No matter how great you are, it's all in the past. I, Liu Bowen, am the first wonder in the world! "

At this time, the breeze blew a piece of paper under the lamp. Liu Bowen is curious. He picked it up and wrote eight big characters-Liu Liu, come on! Liu Bowen was frightened, thinking that Zhuge Liang could predict people and events hundreds of years later, and he was really a man of god. So I dare not bother again. I quickly called for lamp oil and filled several barrels. After the big worship, the tomb was sealed before leaving!

After refueling, Liu Bowen paid more attention to his self-cultivation and eventually became a generation of ministers! Later, the word "refueling" was also extended to encourage latecomers to climb to the top, especially in competitions and venues, as a refueling language to encourage players.
