In the old days, beggars were everywhere in the streets and alleys, and at that time, beggars were called "Huazi", and the Beijing vernacular was also called "idle people". The people are quite complex, some in groups and some in solitary groups.

These beggars roam the streets, and when a shop opens or someone is holding a happy event, they flock to the "Hanako" with a "hala handle" (a rattle made of ox shoulder blades). There are people who like to read songs, there are people who sing Taiping lyrics, and there are people who count treasures, and the clerks are unbearable, so they find the "street watcher" to try to stop them, and the family takes out leftovers and money to send these flowers.

Origin of the word "beggar".

The history of ancient beggars in our country began almost at the same time as civilized society. Although beggars are the poorest at the bottom of society, they are not valued by the ruling class of successive generations, very.

It is rarely recorded in the official history, but in the private notes or wild histories of literati and scholars, there are many records of beggars. From these scattered but precious notes.

In it, people can see a variety of complex and colorful pictures of beggars, from emperors and literati to ordinary people and thieves.

Found in these pictures of begging, it can't help but be thought-provoking.

In the ancient Chinese language, beggar first appeared as a monophonic word. "Begging" means to beg and beg in the golden script, and at the same time it can be used as an antonym to refer to.

I. "Beggar" is also known as "sentence" (gai beggar), and it is often used as sacrificial words in oracle bone divination, pointing to the gods and begging, such as "Chongyu, sentence in the river", that is, the rain is a disaster, and the begging spirit is in the river.

God. Beggars can also be used as a sense of giving, as recorded in the Book of Han and the Western Regions: "And carry food and grain on the road, and beggars give (alms) to the poor." The word beggar has been used as a word since the Han Dynasty, and its original meaning still retains the two meanings of begging and giving. Therefore, before the Song Dynasty, the word beggar was not used to refer to a person who begged for food.

So, before the Song Dynasty, how was the person who begged for food called? According to the "Mencius", "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period", "Liezi", "Later Han Book", "Guiyuan Cong Tan" and other secretaries.

contains, there are "beggars", "beggars", "beggars", "beggars" and so on. These titles continued to be used after the Song Dynasty, mostly until the end of the Qing Dynasty.

The word "beggar" was used to refer to the beggar from the Song Dynasty, such as a sentence quoted in the "Taiping Guangji" from "Wang's Experience", which compares the beggar with horse doctors and wine.

Guarantees, servants, and human traffickers are on a par. For example, "Zhuzi's Language" also records that due to the development of the commodity economy at that time, paper money was used in the market instead of coinage to circulate.

Later, some people were rich merchants in the morning, and in the evening they became beggars with nothing.

The good professional beggar above? Kneeling in the street with a broken bowl and asking for money to win people.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu Zixu, a native of Chu, was falsely accused of rebellion because of his father, and his whole family was killed by King Chuping.

Wu Zixu was desperate and wanted to cross Zhaoguan to go to Wu, at this time Zhaoguan posted a statue of Wu Zixu and offered a reward for his arrest. Wu Zixu was anxious and worried, and his hair was all white and unrecognizable in the night, and he crossed the pass and came to Suzhou, the capital of Wu State.

In the midst of begging, he happened to meet Ji Guang, the son of Wu Guo, and saw that Wu Zixu was extraordinary in appearance and eloquent, so he led him into the palace and entrusted him with important tasks. After Ji Guang succeeded to the throne, it was for Wu Guolu, Wu Zixu led Wu soldiers to defeat Chu State, and whipped the corpse of King Chuping to avenge the great revenge.

Later, the flowers in the Suzhou area, because Wu Zixu wanted to eat here, called Wu Zixu a beggar's head. (miscellaneous name) a poor beggar. Beggars are also beggars. The Sutra of Amitayus says: "The beggar is lonely." ”

In the past, begging was called "hua", and the way of begging was basically based on rapping, so it was called "hua" in the art genre.

In the old days, beggars were everywhere in the streets and alleys, and at that time, beggars were called "Huazi", and the Beijing vernacular was also called "idle people". The people are quite complex, some in groups and some in solitary groups. These beggars roam the streets all day long, and when a shop opens or someone has a happy event, they flock to the "flower seeds" with "hala handles" (a ringer made of cow shoulder blades).

There are people who like to read songs, there are people who sing Taiping lyrics, and there are people who count treasures, and the clerks are unbearable, so they find the "street watcher" to try to stop them, and the family takes out leftovers and money to send these flowers.

There are many possible causes of this problem and psychosocial factors, here are some of the possible causes:

1.Economic benefits: Begging may be a strategy for quick access to cash as an individual may receive less accumulated funds than hourly workers, but they come faster and have more flexibility.

At the same time, for some special groups of people, such as those who cannot be employed without identity documents or qualifications, and those who are unemployed for a long time, begging has become a unique survival strategy in their survival problems.

2.Social case incentives: Some people may see that some people around them are begging for "more money than wages", which can lead them to think that they can earn a higher income by begging. Some notions of begging "cheating" in society do give incentives to specific social phenomena.

3.Psychological stress: Some people may feel that they have lost their job or have not found their ideal job, social pressure, pressure from relatives and friends, etc., resulting in a certain inferiority complex, stress and anxiety, and begging can bring self-esteem and self-affirmation to a certain extent.

4.Interpersonal communication disorders: Some beggars choose to beg because they may have difficulties in interpersonal interactions, such as social phobia, depression, lack of human touch, etc., because they can keep their distance in this way.

It is important to note that while one may prefer to auction off one's dignity for cash, poverty is a complex social problem that can be solved far beyond what appears to be the case or just beginning. In response to this problem, we can try to take a variety of ways to help the fundamentals, such as economic poverty alleviation, employment training, etc., in order to solve the phenomenon of poverty, so as to reduce people's dependence on begging.

There are many factors that can lead to people being reluctant to find hourly workers and choosing to beg instead. Here are the possible reasons:

1.Poverty and homelessness: Some people may have lost their homes, have no stable shelter and resources, and may therefore fall into poverty and homelessness.

These people may be reluctant to go to hourly workers because they may not have the skills or work experience, and no one wants to hire them.

2.Prejudice and discrimination: Some people may experience discrimination and prejudice because they may be a minority, a disadvantaged group, or a foreign worker.

As a result, they may feel that they will be discriminated against during the job search process, or that they will be discriminated against in the same way when they find a job.

3.Health problems and disabilities: Some people may be in poor health or disabled, which means they are not able to perform certain tasks or need to make the necessary adjustments. Finding hourly workers can create more problems for these people.

4.Social isolation: Social isolation can sometimes lead to social and economic hardship. Some people may already be unable to use society's resources and opportunities due to social isolation, so it is impossible for them to know how or not to find a job.

5.Adults and children without care: Some people may be concerned that their children or adults in the family have no one to take care of them.

This may be because they don't have a loved one or friend to help care for, or they don't have enough money to pay for the baby or kindergarten.

In general, people do not want to find hourly workers and choose to beg, which may be due to personal economic, social, health, or other factors.

First of all, we need to realize that everyone's situation and background is different. Some people may face a series of difficulties and challenges that make them choose begging as a way of living. They may face job loss, lack of educational opportunities, physical health problems, or other hardships.

In this case, they may feel that begging is easier or more feasible than finding a job.

Second, begging may be seen as an "option" in some cases. Some people may think that begging is easier to earn than working and doesn't require much effort. They may feel that begging can provide instant funding** without the pressure, responsibility, and competition of the job.

This mindset may lead them to choose to beg rather than go to work.

In addition, begging may also be related to some people's values and beliefs. Some people may think that material pursuits and earning money from work are not the most important parts of life. They may be more concerned with freedom, happiness, and spiritual fulfillment.

They may choose to beg in pursuit of a simple and low-pressure lifestyle, in opposition to the expectations and pressures of society.

In addition, personal experiences and circumstances can also influence the decision to choose to beg. In some communities, begging may be seen as a norm or even a cultural practice. In such cases, people may be influenced by society and family to choose begging as an acceptable way of life.

However, we also need to acknowledge that begging is not a long-term solution. Begging can come with a range of negative effects, including mental and physical health issues, social exclusion, and a blow to self-esteem and confidence. In contrast, jobs provide more opportunities and room for development, which can help people realize their potential and earn a stable economic income.

In order to solve this problem, we need to consider a number of aspects. First and foremost, society should provide more opportunities and resources, including education and training, career guidance, and entrepreneurship support, to help those who choose to beg to relocate and enhance their employability. This allows them to have more opportunities for employment options, thus reducing their dependence on begging.

Finally, we need to strengthen the care and support of society. Establish volunteer organizations and charities to provide help and assistance and encourage those who choose to beg to re-engage in society. At the same time, we also need to establish values for work and labor, convey the importance and sense of accomplishment of work to people, and encourage them to work hard to improve their lives.
