Aphorisms, proverbs, famous sayings and aphorisms

(1) Regarding the concepts of four words. The explanation of the four words in "Modern Chinese Dictionary" is easy to understand. Now excerpt As follows - Motto: words that contain admonishment and educational significance, usually more concise, such as "fullness brings harm, modesty benefits", humility makes people progress, pride makes people fall behind. Famous words: famous words. Such as wise sayings. Proverb: among the masses The fixed sentences that have been circulated reflect profound truths in simple and popular words. For example, "Three stooges are better than Zhuge Liang", "With three hundred and sixty lines, he will be the number one scholar", "Nothing is difficult in the world, only those who are willing to do so." Epigram: A concise but profound and moving sentence. (2) The relationship between the four 1. All four words have certain meanings, and all four words are accepted and recognized by the masses and relatively fixed. 2. The difference between the four is that each has its own emphasis and characteristics in expression. Proverbs mainly emphasize that their origin comes from names, from the mouths of the people, and are fixed sentences after being widely circulated; aphorisms focus on expressing profound and vivid meanings, which draw special attention. In warning sentences, emphasizing "warning" means to make people pay special attention; famous quotes focus on the awareness of the speech, and it is famous. Therefore, famous quotes are often called "famous quotes". Often famous quotes are not only famous for their speech, but also famous. Everyone generally knows who said this famous saying; aphorisms are words with educational significance and are similar to aphorisms, so aphorisms and aphorisms are generally combined and collectively called "aphorisms and aphorisms". (3) About "'Read the book a hundred times, and its Is "righteousness self-evident" a proverb? Strictly speaking, this sentence is a famous saying, not a proverb, because "read a book a hundred times, and its righteousness will self-evident" was first said by Dong Yu during the Three Kingdoms period (see "Three Kingdoms Wei Zhi" ). Although this sentence is widely quoted, it is very strange. People often ignore its origin when citing it to explain the truth. Therefore, many people think that it comes from the folk. Therefore, many people often refer to this sentence as "ancient saying", Even Zhu Xi, a great scholar in the Song Dynasty, did not mention the origin of this saying. He only said, "An ancient saying goes, 'Read a book a hundred times, and its meaning will become apparent'." ( "Zhu Xi's Reading Method") It seems that Dong Qian's name was not "written" and had been forgotten by future generations, so it was regarded as a proverb.
