"I only drink a spoonful of water, even if the water is 3 thousand." From A Dream of Red Mansions, episode 91, Jia Baoyu tried to dissolve the jealousy that Lin Daiyu had just figured out. Get a spoonful of water, but what you drink is that no matter whether it is a woman made of water or a man made of mud, what comes out of a spoonful may be just some colorless, tasteless, odorless and intangible delusions ... In the ninety-first episode of A Dream of Red Mansions, Jia Baoyu has a classic love confession: "Only take a spoonful of water when you are weak." It's a pity to prove the origin of weak water three thousand. It is not so much the original meaning of weak water as its extended meaning. This is a sincere promise, but I always feel that weak water is always filled with a kind of sadness, which seems to be a metaphor of love that is as light as water and difficult to carry a boat. There is a saying that weakness means drowning, which means drowning. When I think of countless novels of Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School, when the hero falls into the flowers (just like falling into the whirlpool of the opposite sex), he always says firmly to the gentle and virtuous heroine: "I only take one scoop when the water is weak." I only love you in this life ... "At this moment, its loyalty is awe-inspiring. The following story is even more tortuous and moving, earning enough tears and snot from countless innocent readers. In Gu Long's Jin Yong's martial arts novels, the hero often has a soft spot, such as the depth of the ocean, loyalty like a festival, and the hero used to be beautiful. Unfortunately, what we often see in reality is that flowers bloom one after another, and people are different from year to year. My sigh is extremely weak. There are many touching legends about faithful love and keeping promises at all times and in all countries. Take a closer look at the people around you. Countless couples who used to wrestle with each other have spent the rest of their lives together. However, there is always a sad plot that happens to young men and women who have an affair. In the years, I waded across the emotional river carefully, for fear of hitting hard rocks and splashing inappropriate water, but a drop in the ocean is far away, and the smoke is bitter and cold. The oath is as heavy as Mount Tai and as light as goose feather. Fighting for the league, that's what heroes should do. A gifted scholar and a beautiful woman, when spending a lot of money, can still say that she only takes a scoop of 3 thousand weak water; For ordinary children, the requirements are not high, but at the moment I want to drink a gourd ladle, which is sweet and very comfortable. The story continues to be staged, and more than 3,000 weak waters interpret the moving myths of talented people and beautiful women. Myth is myth. It's hot in summer. It's up to you to see how the spring flows, sweep away the secular dust and break through the cage. In ancient times, many shallow and fast-flowing rivers could only cross the border by rafts instead of ships. The ancients thought it was because the water was too weak to carry a boat, so they called such a river weak water. Therefore, many weak waters with the same name but different rivers are recorded in ancient books such as Shan Hai Jing and Ten Kingdoms. There is water in the north of Kunlun Mountain, which is recorded in Shanhaijing, but it can't beat mustard seed. That's what weak water means Some appellations are still in use today, such as a weak river on the map of Gansu Province. Weak water is also used to refer to the Poyi River or Heishui River in the northwest, and of course it is limited to specific geographical works. In later ancient literature, weak water was gradually used to refer to dangerous and distant rivers. There is a famous saying in Su Shi's "Jinshan Miaogaotai": Penglai is unreachable and Wan Li is weak. This is the first time that weak water has used specific figures. There is also a saying in Zhang Xiaoxiang's "Shui Long Yin Wang Jiuhua Mountain" that "an empty pearl building is stupid, looking at Penglai, and there is no weak water at the beginning". In other poems, weak sentences are rare. Instead, it is more common in later novels. The Journey to the West returned to Tang Sanzang for the 22nd time to collect sand, and wrote a poem describing the danger of the quicksand river: 800 quicksand boundary, 3,000 weak water depth, goose feathers can't float, and reed flowers will sink to the bottom. This is the first formal formulation of weak water three thousand. Mr. Lu Xun said in "Introduction to Geology in China": Although he is surrounded by weak water and helpless, what will happen ... In the 25th chapter of A Dream of Red Mansions, he also mentioned: What does that man look like? He is one foot tall and one foot low, covered in water and dragging mud. When you meet, if you ask where your home is, it is in the weak water west of Penglai. There is also a distant meaning here. Later, weak water was extended to boundless love. This is what we are talking about now. When the 91st story of A Dream of Red Mansions was officially mentioned for the first time, Baoyu designed a cloth riddle to talk about Zen: Daiyu said, "Hello, Sister Bao. How are you? "Sister Bao doesn't like you. How are you? Sister Bao was good to you the day before yesterday, but now she is not good to you. How are you? Hello today, but not after. How are you? You are good to him, but he is not good to you. How are you if you don't get along with him, he insists on getting along with you. How are you? " Baoyu stayed for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said, "I'll just take a ladle to drink, but the water is weak." Daiyu asked, "What's the use of a ladle?" Baoyu said, "Don't float in the water, the water floats, and the ladle floats!" "What can we do if the water stops the pearl from sinking?" Daiyu asked. Baoyu said, "The Zen mind has been stained with mud, so I won't dance partridge spring breeze." Daiyu said, "The first commandment of Zen is not to talk nonsense." Baoyu said, "It's like three treasures." From then on, men and women vowed to take only one spoonful of weak water. Little known is the modern poet Su's Broken Chains, in which there is a dialogue: Yu Yue: However, two beauties are in love. * * (There is no such word in the computer, use symbols instead) After sighing and thinking about the meaning of' weak water three thousand', you should know my heart. Ask again: Who does your intention belong to first? Yu Yue: Fang Shu. As for now, the formulation of weak water three thousand is everywhere. Both Gu Long and Jin Yong have mentioned it dozens of times in their novels. Every time a handsome and careless hero is harassed and pursued by a large group of beautiful girls who are budding in love, he will say to the heroine: I only take a scoop of water for 3 thousand. Don't worry, the hero will bloom in spring. There are a lot of novels written by Qiong Yao and Yi Shu, which are so bloody and solemn that they become as ridiculous and stupid as I love you in Zhou Xingxing's mouth. In Taiwan Province Province, there is a literary website called Weak Water Three Thousand (http://www.taconet.com.tw/mybook), which is doing very well, but unfortunately it has not been updated recently for some reasons. Probably the stationmaster also drank weak water. I once found an old but well-preserved "Weak Water Collection" on a roadside stall, but unfortunately it was borrowed by a long-coveted friend. But later, the publishing house reprinted it. Two years ago, the auction of weak water collection manuscripts caused a sensation, which is a matter for collectors outside the topic. Some people once thought that the word "weak" of "weak water three thousand" was a fake word "drowning" because it meant drowning in some ancient Chinese. The original text was once seen in Gong's Saving the Weak and Prospering, and it was annotated in Shuowen: Weakness is also simple and drowning. That's what Mozi said in his annotated work "Mo Bian Fa Wei". But I have never seen the prototype of the word' drowning'. All references to weak water mean being submerged. After learning the evolution of weak water three thousand, you should understand its meaning. Those who want to kill the enemy must not commit such stereotyped writing, and those who want to protect the enemy should think carefully about the sinister intentions of those who say this. Treat the disease, strengthen the body without disease. Time has passed, and the weak water has almost dried up. Therefore, it is necessary to rediscover the essence of ancient culture, and suggest a new slogan: Jun is one of the leaves that hinder the eyes, and I will never see the forest again, so I can be loyal to Jun and rest assured. At the same time, I snickered. Hey, it's autumn, and the leaves haven't fallen yet?
