Hyacinth. hyacinth.The following is from Professor Tan Zheng of Fudan University of Foreign Languages: "In the West, its name hyacinth [ ha s n ] comes from a Greek myth:

Yacintus was a beautiful boy beloved by the sun god Apollo. Zephyrus, the god of the west wind, also loved the beauty of Jacintos, and Apollo's closeness to him aroused Zephyrus's jealousy. Once Apollo and Jacintos were playing discus throwing, and Apollo threw the discus vigorously and Jacintos ran to pick it up, when the malevolent Zephyr blew the discus in the wrong direction, causing it to hit Jacintos on the head.

The grief-stricken Apollo failed to save him, and could only turn the blood he spilled into a flower, which was Hyacinth. "The most famous transliterations in modern times, as well as the translation of the word logic logic, humor, totem totem humor** Mr. Yu Lin Yutang. The etymology of humour is more interesting.

Bile has a Greek name called chole, which comes from cholos (meaning "bitter"). It is often used in combination with other words to denote the main fluid in the human body. For example, the cloleric temperament (yellow bile), such as the melancholic temperament melancholic (melas Greek word for black, black bile).

Later these liquids were called humours, denoting certain liquids associated with temperament, from the Latin word humere. In the Elizabethan period, the humanist dramatist Benjonson carefully wrote rare plays that contained only paranoid characters, and were generally comedy, each with their own unique character chattering and making people laugh, and later gradually took on the meaning of "funny, witty". Mr. Lin Yutang translated it as "humor", and the source is "Book of Wei":

Shinto humor, disaster is coming. The humor here refers to the fact that the gods are lurking, untraceable, and imperceptible. Mr. Lin Yutang borrowed the "humor" here to express "the laughter of implicit thoughts", and at the same time added the idea of compassion and compassion.

Today, however, this has faded. <>

There are so many people talking about Sanskrit, but no one talks about "tower"? "Tower" is derived from the Sanskrit word "stūpa"! Saving a life is better than creating a seven-level floating map (or "Buddha slaughter") in the "floating map", which was divided into two types in ancient India:

"Blockage" is used to bury Buddha relics and Buddha bones, which belong to the tomb; The other is called "Zhiti" (or "bottom"), there is no relics in it, and it is called a temple, or a tower temple. In the first century AD, Buddhism was introduced to China, and with it Buddhist culture, such as architecture. At that time, there was no Chinese character corresponding to the Sanskrit word "Futu", so it was newly created according to the sound of "Buddha" "Buda".

The pronunciation of the word "荅", adding a shape next to it, it becomes a "tower". "Zhiti" evolved into "Cave Temple", and "Cave Blockage" evolved into "Tower". It is impossible for any foreign culture to enter China intact, and China's "tower" is no longer India's original "blockage" in terms of form, structure, layout, and even function.

For example, in India, the "Blockade Wave" is semi-circular, and as soon as it enters China, it becomes completely round. The first pagoda in our country, the White Horse Temple Tower, is a pavilion-type circle.

Later, there were also pavilion type, dense eaves type tower, as well as flower tower, King Kong throne tower, street tower and other forms. For example, the Chinese tower generally has a tower sha, a tower body, a tower base and an underground palace, and the underground palace is buried in the Buddha relics. There is no underground palace in the "blockage wave". <>
