As soon as we met, I asked Have you eaten? why

It is impossible to verify when such a greeting method appeared, but these words represent a microcosm of history, and they are also a small manifestation of the suffering of the Chinese nation and the food shortage it faces from time to time in history. The ancients said"The people live on food"It is a very important position to put forward the idea of feeding the people, and many outstanding and ordinary people in ancient times have also practiced it. However, except for the fact that food and clothing have never been really solved in recent years, even if there has been a certain period of time in history when people can be fed, it cannot last for a long time.

And the greeting of eating naturally represents the good wishes of the general public, and the abundance of food and clothing is the wish of the kind and hard-working people, and it is natural to use this in the usual greetings, in fact, it is also a good wish, I wish myself and others.

A history of Chinese dynasties is actually a history of the change of dynasties of governance, chaos, and death, but careful research can find that the demise of almost every old dynasty is related to one problem, that is, the problem of eating. Basically, most of the great upheavals of dynasties began with the chaos caused by the starvation of the people, and also sent these ordinary people who could not eat to hell with their own hands. The common people don't know much about the truth, they don't think too much, and they don't have many extravagant expectations, but they have one last wish, that is, the problem of eating, as long as this desire is satisfied, they can endure a lot.

But if even this wish cannot be fulfilled, it will be very dangerous.

Looking at the description of famine in Chinese history, it is indeed shocking. The famine in the Central Plains at the end of the Yuan Dynasty described in the History of the Yuan Dynasty can be seen. "At the end of the year, the people were hungry, the leaves and grass were exhausted, the hungry people ate white soil and fruit, and after eating, the abdominal distension was unbearable, and they wailed for several days and died.

What's more, people cannibalize each other, and some of them go out at a young age and die, and they have no body in a moment, and they have eaten everything. "When a person has something to eat, he is a man, and when he faces death because he has nothing to eat, he is no longer a man, and the result is great turmoil and great destruction, and few people are spared.

Therefore, the Chinese traditionally attach so much importance to eating, but in fact, they are frightened by the famine, so they have to reflect this wish on their usual greetings, wishing that they and others can eat. Older people may have experienced hunger, and I don't have such memories because I was not born in that era, but I can understand from the mouths of the elderly and the historical records, and understand the importance of eating.

Have you eaten? "There are many tragedies behind it, as well as good wishes and wishes for a long time. Should I be glad that I didn't live in that era, but will I be reborn?

No one is sure of this, so we can only pray that the era of abundant food and clothing will last forever. But sometimes I can't help but be afraid, history is always repeating the same story, I really hope that such a repetition will not be staged, but who can decide?

If you are confused about reality, then go and look at history. History is always repeating, and it is always a question of not being able to do it now. --When I think of this, I can't help but feel a chill in my heart.

I'm sorry, I don't know if I can help you, I found it above.

People take food as the sky", eating is the first major event of survival in the past tense, so the first priority is to eat, so asking shows the first humanistic care.

Because the person who asks wants the person being asked to invite him to dinner.

Eating is something that everyone must do every day, and I think the process of eating is a special experience day, the happiest moment is eating, when we eat our favorite food, we can promote the production of choline, which can make us more and more energetic, in many cases, there is nothing that cannot be handled by a meal. So at present, everyone seems to be such a question, why do we Chinese like to ask "Have you eaten"? This is also the way we greet each other from ancient times to the present, so that everyone can understand whether the other party has eaten, and the more questions you can talk about, everyone will not feel embarrassed, after all, dining is something that everyone must do every day.

One. It's a very popular way to say hello. In daily life, everyone will say hello when they see their relatives, friends or people they know, and I think saying hello can make us feel more and more warm in our daily life.

The way we greeted each other in ancient times, and the way many people like to greet each other today, is to ask the other party if they have eaten? I think it's very close to life, and it makes us feel that he wants to say something to himself, that he doesn't feel embarrassed, that way he likes to say hello, sometimes he says hello like that, and he can go to dinner.

Two. Saying hello brings us closer to each other. In people's daily life, I firmly believe that many people like to eat delicious snacks very much, especially in the case of winter, they love to call good friends and relatives to eat Malatang together, I feel that I especially enjoy, usually say hello and ask the other party if you have eaten, if others say no, we can call the other party into the house, eat with yourself, lively, appetite will skyrocket a lot.

When everyone eats together, they can also talk about a lot of topics, which brings a touch of fun to this boring daily life, and I feel especially happy in that kind of daily life.

Acquaintances always have to say hello when they meet, and the phrase have you eaten is suitable for various situations, this is the most commonly used sentence when people meet, then other words may seem a little impolite, or a little presumptuous.

It's because this sentence can be replied quickly, and it's a good topic to start chatting about, and it can also end quickly.

It is because in ancient times, we would always invite our relatives and friends to our home for dinner. Slowly, it evolved into such a custom.

That's because in the era of eating big pot rice, people were afraid of hunger and knew the importance of eating, so they loved to greet people to eat?

Summary. Let's think about it from another aspect!

The reason why I didn't call you is because people have something to talk about, and it's inconvenient for a third person to be present!

After he finishes eating, he will tell you to eat something, in fact, he just wants to be polite!

Someone I knew didn't call me when he saw me eating, and then he finished eating and asked me if I could eat.

There are all kinds of people, this kind of person, don't care too much.

The most important thing is that we do what we have to do, and we don't have to care too much about what others do!

What do you say? We can consider it from another aspect of the waiter's imitation of noise! The reason why I didn't call you is because people have something to talk about, and it's inconvenient for a third person to be present! After he finishes eating, he will tell you to eat something, in fact, he just wants to be polite!

You care so much about the other party's attitude, presumably the other party's position in your heart is relatively heavy, so you might as well lower him a notch!

All things are courtesy, as long as everyone abides by this rule, there will be basically no problem!

I have also seen such a question before, that is, Chinese meet is to ask "have you eaten", but for some foreigners will ask you hello and other topics, I feel that the reason is that in the early days of China was very poor, so when we meet, we will ask if we have eaten, whether we have eaten or not is a big problem before, which is why we now have the goal of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way.

First of all, what we do is to be fed and clothed, will think about the days after us, only the material wealth is abundant, we will pursue spiritual wealth, in the early stage of liberation, China's economy is very sluggish, even if you are very rich, in my mother they had more children at that time, just to eat a problem is very worried, and at that time there was no current delicacies of the mountains and seas.

A meal of steamed buns is considered a luxury, although now it is also possible to ask if you have eaten, the reason is also that the Chinese are more nostalgic, this has become a habit, just like now I live in the village, after eating out for a walk, others will still ask if they have eaten, this has become a way to say hello, I have seen a joke that the way to say hello before is to eat, and now the way to greet is to lose weight.

This is a joke, which means that people's lives before and now have changed essentially, which is due to the leaders of our country, for the continuous enrichment of our lives, proposed to build a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, but the most common way to greet will still say: Have you eaten? It's not just about caring, it's about our lives.

When I see some elders now, I still ask if I have eaten, not only out of politeness, but also as a sincere greeting.
