Why is it called bragging and not sheepskin?

Braggart People often compare good talking to "bragging" or "bragging", so why not say "bragging" or something else?

Legend has it that a long time ago, there were neither bridges nor boats in the Yellow River Loop. A common means of water transportation is a raft. Most of these rafts are made of cowhide, and people call them "cowhide rafts".

The "cowhide raft" is not a public object, but a means of transportation for people's daily home. When not in use, put it away at home; When needed, blow enough air into the "cowhide raft" so that it can carry people and float on the water.

"Bragging about a raft" is not easy, it is a very laborious task, and it usually takes several people to work together to inflate a raft. Therefore, at that time, whenever I met someone who talked big, there were always people who replied with the words "What a big breath can almost blow up a cowhide raft". In this way, "bragging" is often naturally associated with "talking big".

Over time, "bragging" has become synonymous with "talking big".

"bragging" is often abbreviated as "bragging" or "bragging". Obviously, "bragging" or "bragging" is more agreeable. In this way, what has survived to this day as a synonym for "big talk" is not "bragging", but "bragging" or "bragging".

An allusion to the origin of "bragging". It is said that in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River, our ancestors often had to wade across the river when they cultivated the fields and cultivated the land, visited relatives and friends. If it's summer, it's fine; However, in winter, it is very inconvenient.

Therefore, the wise ancestors went to the mutton and mutton bones, left a complete sheepskin, and blew into it, and it became a "sheep balloon" like today's balloons. Several "sheep balloons" were arranged in an orderly manner, connected by ropes, and put on the shelves, so as to create today's canoe-like sheepskin raft. There are also some ancestors who have strange ideas, thinking that sheepskin can be used, and so can cowhide.

Draw the gourd in the same way, I don't want the cowhide to be too big, I can't blow it, and I will end up defeated. As a result, there is the term "bragging" today, which means to say big things and exaggerate.

Over time, "bragging" has become synonymous with "talking big".

The term "bragging" originated in the upper reaches of the Yellow River in China. When the Yellow River flows through Qinghai, Gansu, Ningxia, Shaanxi and other provinces (regions), the water flow is turbulent, the beach is treacherous, and it is difficult to sail. In ancient times, when bridge traffic was not developed, the Kuanzao people living along the upper reaches of the Yellow River came up with a way to solve the problem of crossing the river in order to solve the problem of river crossing

Raft instead of Shen Zhenzhou. Before the 50s of the 20th century, rafts had always been an important means of transportation for people living in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, where railways had not yet been opened and road traffic was inconvenient.

In life, ordinary people don't have to understand the meaning of dialects, and their own Chinese proficiency and Mandarin level are not high, and they don't have to look for the corresponding words in Mandarin, then, they often can't express the dialect in Mandarin - here is a dialect that everyone commonly uses, but now people are falsely rumored to make a vivid explanation - now most people brag and brag, and because they don't understand the meaning of this dialect, they think the word "bragging" **, so, Some people use symbols such as braggadocio x or bi or pinyin to replace this word when writing it, but in fact, they don't know that this "bragging" is the pronunciation of the Shanghai dialect that brags! That is, Shanghainese people use dialects to brag about leather is pronounced as "bragging", and ordinary people brag can understand or understand, but they don't know that the pronunciation of "skin" in Shanghai dialect is "bi", for example, Shanghainese pronounced leather shoes as "bi, a" and so on. It can be seen from this that the correct pronunciation of Mandarin for "bragging" is "bragging" - this is a popular word, and the result is that because ordinary people can't understand the meaning of the dialect, the result is false, and as a result, a common word is mispronounced, and it is extended to ** word, isn't it a good example?!

In fact, some dialects in the coarse words are elegant words, or the former is the ancient sound, and the average person does not really understand, and as a result, they don't know what words in Mandarin to express - here is another dialect to illustrate: there is a word in Tianjin dialect called "xueme" (pronunciation: xueme), which is expressed in a complete sentence - Tianjin people often say "where is this" xueme (学?)" come from? , meaning: where did this come from, and this "xueme (学?)" actually corresponds to the Mandarin should be "finding", but the dialect is a matter of the muffled town accent, which is pronounced as "xueme (学?)".
