What are the four hard and the four soft, the four soft, and the four hard?

The four hards: the bricks of the city wall, the wind in the doorway, the wild boar's bristles, and the drunkard's tongue.

Bricks of the city walls: In the past, every city had a city wall, and as long as the city gate was closed, the people in the city could not get out, and the people outside the city did not want to enter. The bricks built on these walls are specially made and very hard, and even if they are exposed to the wind and sun, they can still last for a long time.

Among them, the bricks on the Great Wall are the best proof of this, which are still well preserved after thousands of years.

Doorway wind: This specifically refers to the wind blowing in from the doorway in winter, it is reasonable to say that the wind is very soft, but in winter, the wind blowing in from the doorway is like a knife, biting cold.

Wild boar bristles: that is, the hair on the wild boar, you should not underestimate the wild boar hair, it is recognized in the world as the finest, the most hard and straight natural thing, and it is not easy to break, at present, it is mainly used to make wild boar bristle comb.

The drunkard's tongue: When a person is drunk, his tongue is as if it is straight and cannot turn, and he cannot speak clearly.

Four soft: the girl's waist, cotton bale, crystal persimmon, pig urine bubble.

The waist of the big girl is untouchable, as the old saying goes, the willow waist is thin, and it must not be touched. And the cotton bag, needless to say, is naturally quite soft, and it was often used to make quilts, pillows, and cotton clothes in the past, which is soft and warm. Crystal persimmons refer to ripe persimmons, which are also very soft, just like water inside, and they flow out when you bite into them.

And pig urine bubbles, many people who grew up in the countryside should have played, when the pig is killed, blow it up hard, and can also be used as a balloon, ball to play.

The 4 hardness refers to the monk's head, the boar's bristles, the drunkard's tongue and the bolt on the door. Why is a monk's head hard? In fact, this can be seen from Lu Zhishen, and on TV, we often see monks often using their heads to fight when they practice, which makes people feel that their heads are very hard.

And the hair of the brush we use in our daily life is the wild boar bristle used, which can be seen how hard it is.

Anyone who has ever been drunk should know that when drunk, people's tongues will harden, so it will be unclear when they speak. People who have lived in the countryside also know that the bolt on the door is a very hard thing, and every household in the countryside uses a small piece of wood to close the door and bolt it behind the door, and the people outside the door can't push it open.

The 4 soft ones refer to the girl's waist, cotton bales, sun-dried persimmons and willow shoots. Girls are very weak, and their waists are naturally very soft, but it is very rude for men not to touch girls' waists easily. And the cotton bales needless to say, everyone knows how soft cotton is.

We have all heard of "soft persimmon", which describes people's weakness and incompetence, which is also based on the reality of the situation, the red persimmon is indeed very soft, and it will rot when pinched. In everyone's hearts, the willow is fluttering in the wind, very light, as soft as a delicate little girl, so the willow tips are naturally very soft.

This is the specific connotation of this proverb, although there are only sixteen words, but the meaning is very rich, you can see how smart our ancestors were.

"Four hard": city wall bricks, gate latches, wild boar bristles, railway nails. City wall bricks:

In the previous war-torn era, the city wall was the most important fortification, and naturally it was very strong and difficult to break. Gate latch: Like the city wall, the gate has a strong protective effect on the family, so the door latch used to lock the gate is naturally very hard and difficult to break easily.

Boar bristles: Anyone who has ever seen a wild boar knows that the wild boar bristles are the hardest part of a wild boar. And the railway nails are not to mention, what can withstand the crushing of the ** car is not the general hardness.

Four soft": girl's waist, cotton bag, red persimmon, willow top. Girl's waist:

For the waist of the big girl, in fact, there is no need to say much, people often use the willow waist to describe it, which shows the softness of the woman's waist. Cotton bales: When it comes to cotton, everyone's first impression is that it is white and soft, so people use cotton to make clothes, which are warm and soft.

Willow Shoots: As long as there is wind, the willow branches will sway with it, so the willow tips are also very soft.
