What are some interesting things to know about the language?

1.People in Jiangxi, Hunan, and Sichuan provinces love to eat chili peppers, and one place is better than the other, so people say:

Jiangxi people are not afraid of spicy, Hunan people are not afraid of spicy, and Sichuan people are not afraid of spicy.

In the above words, after the positions of the three words are reversed, the meaning changes subtly, how ingenious. This form is called "translocation".

2.Human names and verb combinations: If a teenager makes a mistake, we say that he has "stumbled"; If he gives in to others, we say that he has "bowed" to others; Someone has done something wrong unintentionally, we say that he "missed", something is very attention-grabbing, we say that it is "eye-catching", and there are also combinations of words such as "judging the head and quality" and "not enough to worry about the teeth", we also often use them, and they can better express their feelings when they are used appropriately.

For example, Tao Yuanming, a writer in the Jin Dynasty, was out of office for more than ten years, and he was full of the pain of not only being unable to fulfill his ambition to help the world in the officialdom, but also having to lower his ambition and humiliate himself and deal with some officialdom figures, so he was dismissed from his post at the age of 39 and returned to the field to work for self-sufficiency. He sighed: "I can't bend my waist to the village children for five buckets of rice."

The "bending waist" here is a metaphor for lowering one's will and humiliating one's body, and not "bending one's waist" vividly expresses Tao Yuanming's dissatisfaction with the real society at that time. Another example is the words "lips and teeth" in the idiom "lips and teeth" are the names of two different parts of the human body, and here they are combined with "death" and "cold" to metaphorize the interests between the two are very close. In 1951, the United States invaded the DPRK and wanted to invade China through the DPRK as a springboard

The relations between the DPRK and our country are as cold as lips and teeth, and we must do our utmost to resist US aggression and aid Korea. The idiom of cold lips and teeth vividly summed up the interests between China and the DPRK, and greatly stimulated the determination and will of the Chinese people to resist US aggression and aid Korea.
