One of the interpretation versions: the version of numbers:
The strangeness of this nursery rhyme lies not in its content, but in the number of words in each sentence. The number of words in each sentence is: 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4, 10, 9, 4, 8. Numeric transliteration means: I die, I die, I die, die ... This may be a wish of the smiling rabbit to itself.
Interpretation version 2: Homophonic version:
There are other homophonic versions of this riddle, so I don't need to mention them. Now I will explain the more famous one. The answer is to get rid of rabbits, and the numbers are homophonic. Because there are many local dialects in China, only by verifying the source of the riddle can we get the most accurate answer. However, in any case, we all got a cryptic answer:
"I'm seriously ill, son, and I want to buy medicine, so I'll die-the desperate cook died when I was cooking medicine. When I died, the donkey carried me, dug a hole for (my wife) and didn't bury it, so (my uncle) sat on the ground and cried. When I asked him why he (she) was crying, he (my uncle) said: I'll never go.
The strange thing about the riddle is that it was written in the tone of a dead person, that is, the riddle was written by a dead person. Looking at the artistic conception of the riddle again, this person's life seems to be very tragic. According to the above collocation, the imagination can even speculate that my uncle and the deceased's wife have an affair (according to another version, this speculation is stronger, because the riddle is easy to be sung by children, plus feudal conservative thoughts, it may be artificially changed to the current version), and all the explanations add the helplessness of "I die, I die, I die", which not only makes people feel deeply sad and miserable ...
Explain Version 3: Version of Shape:
Centering each line of the whole ballad is the shape of a tombstone:
_ _ _ _ Big Nutbrown hare is ill _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Two Rabbits Look _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Three rabbits buy medicine _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Four rabbits endure _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Five rabbits are dead _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Six rabbits carry _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Seven rabbits dig holes _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Eight rabbits buried _ _ _ _ _
Nine rabbits sat on the ground and cried.
_ _ Rabbit asked him why he was crying _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Nine rabbits say _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Five rabbits never come back _ _
Explain Version 4: Spiral Version:
Although there are ten rabbits in nursery rhymes, only four rabbits are directly connected at a time. In other words, if this nursery rhyme is made into TV, there will be no more than four rabbits in each shot. Coupled with the discussion of numbers, it can be inferred that there are actually only four rabbits in this nursery rhyme, and this nursery rhyme takes four innings as a loop. In this way, the big rabbit becomes five rabbits.
With this reasoning, this nursery rhyme becomes:
Big rabbit is ill, two rabbits look, three rabbits buy medicine, four rabbits boil;
The big rabbit died, two rabbits carried it, three rabbits dug a hole and four rabbits buried it (! )
Big Nutbrown hare suddenly woke up and sat on the ground crying (! ! )
The second rabbit asked him why he was crying.
Big Nutbrown hare said, Big Nutbrown hare will never come back! ! ! )
Just like this, the strangeness of this nursery rhyme is that it seems that there are ten rabbits on the surface, but in fact there are only four.
If there are only four rabbits, then this story is really chilly …
There is a saying that terror comes from the unknown. And this kind of "later discovering that what you are familiar with is unknown" may make people feel scared, which is the strangeness of this nursery rhyme.
The fifth version of explanation: a version of one's deep thinking;
If the last version was a little chilly, in this version, you can imagine that there is only one rabbit:
The rabbit is sick-feels sick,
Rabbit, look-treat yourself,
Rabbits buy medicine-buy medicine by themselves,
The rabbit is suffering-suffering,
The rabbit is dead-dead,
Rabbit lift-lift yourself,
Rabbits dig holes-dig holes by themselves,
Bury the rabbit-bury yourself,
The rabbit sat on the ground and began to cry! !
The rabbit asked him why he was crying-ask himself,
The rabbit said-answer,
The rabbit never comes back-faint smile ...
Interpretation Version 6: Inference Version:
Ok, no more gloomy explanations, but a smarter version:
This is a secret murder of a rabbit.
"Big Nutbrown hare is ill,
"Two rabbits, look,
"Three rabbits buy medicine,
"Four rabbits endure ..."
These four sentences are plain, and there is nothing special except catchy rhythm.
"Five rabbits are dead ..."
Wait, why did five rabbits suddenly die?
Then, with this question, let's see if there are any clues below, and the story will continue.
"Six rabbits carry it,
"Seven rabbits dig holes,
"Eight rabbits buried,
"Nine rabbits sat on the ground and cried.
"Ten rabbits asked him why he was crying.
"Nine rabbit said:
"The five rabbits will never come back!"
We didn't find any clues about the last seven sentences. Okay, back to the beginning.
Big rabbit is sick.
Big rabbit is ill. How did five rabbits die?
Well, we have a preliminary judgment: the death of the five rabbits is related to the big rabbit. Now, the question becomes: how did the five rabbits die? With this preliminary judgment and this new question, let's reel off the cocoon again:
1, first of all, "Big Rabbit is sick". Has anyone come to see the doctor?
2, yes, "two rabbits look". So the two rabbits are doctors.
3. "Five rabbits are dead". It was Big Rabbit who was ill, but Five Rabbits died suddenly, which was obviously related to Big Rabbit's illness.
4. It turns out that rabbits also have classes. Big rabbit is sick. To cure his disease, we must do whatever it takes, even at the expense of other rabbits. Five rabbits were made into medicine.
5. As you can imagine, Big Rabbit is the emperor on high.
6. "Three rabbits buy medicine". In fact, "buying medicine" is slang, which refers to getting medicine. This "buying medicine" means killing five rabbits who are doing medicine. Three rabbits are a killer.
7, "four rabbits boil". Four rabbits are a pharmacist.
8, but why are the five rabbits doing drug introduction? Because it is up to the doctor to decide which rabbit is suitable for drug introduction, and "two rabbits look", two rabbits are doctors.
9. The relationship between the one, two and two rabbits turned out to be close, and it was a traitor type: the big rabbit was the emperor, and the second rabbit was the villain who slandered him. Treacherous court officials will accept slanderous remarks, even if they want to kill another rabbit.
10, why did two rabbits identify five rabbits for drug introduction for no reason? It can be assumed that the second rabbit is malicious, killing five rabbits with a knife, but what's the problem between them?
1 1, we might as well guess that it may be a love killing because of a female rabbit.
12, who is the female rabbit? Think about it, there is only one sentence in the whole song, "Nine rabbits are crying", which is the nature of women who love to cry, so Nine rabbits are female rabbits.
13, why are nine rabbits crying? Because she loved five rabbits, but five rabbits died.
14, "Six Rabbits Lift", which seems reasonable, is actually poor. How can a rabbit lift it? He was obviously carried.
15, why was he carried? Because he died, too.
16, since all five or six rabbits are dead, why are only six rabbits carried? Quite simply, the death of five rabbits was planned to be used as a drug introduction, while the death of six rabbits was unplanned. This confirms the judgment that the death of the five rabbits is planned, that is, it is necessary to do drug induction.
17, then why did it lead to the death of six rabbits besides premeditated? We don't know at the moment. I only know that the two rabbits who carried him then dug a hole and buried the body. Seven rabbits dig holes and eight rabbits bury them. Yes, it was seven or eight rabbits who carried him.
18, was six rabbits killed by seven or eight rabbits? I don't think so, because there is no proper reason in the ballad. So far, the only known murderer is Sanbunny, so most of the six rabbits were killed by Sanbunny.
19, seven or eight rabbits appeared at the same time, which can be seen from the fact that they carried six rabbits together and jointly dug a hole to bury the body. However, why didn't they help the five or six rabbits resist the three rabbits? There is only one explanation: they belong to the Lord who fell with the wind and are willing to do anything to save their lives.
20, and then analysis, the thing is this: when the five-six rabbits were killed by three rabbits, the seven-eight rabbits appeared, but they were usually very obedient. So the three rabbits spared the seven or eight rabbits and let them carry the six rabbits away and dig a hole to bury them. 781, life saved, anyway, things happened, irreparable, so we have to do it.
2 1, it seems that the relationship between the two rabbits in July and August is also relatively close, and they are bad brothers and bad brothers.
22, three rabbits killed five rabbits, why kill six rabbits again? This goes back to the question just now-why did the six rabbits who were not premeditated die? We have to guess that Six Rabbits, for some reason, unfortunately became an unintended victim in the process of three rabbits killing five rabbits. The reasonable judgment is: Six Rabbits and Five Rabbits are deeply attached to each other, and they stood on the side of Five Rabbits in the fight between Three Five Rabbits, and the Three Rabbits, as killers, killed them together.
23, six rabbits helped five rabbits resist the killer three rabbits, and finally died for their friends, which shows that six rabbits are upright. You think, 562 rabbits are a pair of life and death brothers, but judging from their joint efforts, they can't beat the three rabbits, which should be very weak for good friends. Yes, these two are talented and upright literati. It turns out that the five rabbits were loved by the nine rabbits because of this demeanor, and were jealous by the treacherous court official two rabbits.
24, well, the relationship between the two rabbits is also close, he is my brother type.
25, now, have you noticed? The relationship between every two adjacent rabbits is subtle and close. 1-2, treacherous court official relationship; 5-6, he is my brother relations; 7-8, bad brother relationship.
26, the relationship between the above three pairs of six rabbits is so, we can guess that some other neighboring rabbits have similar close relationships: 3-4, what is their relationship? We seem to know now: three rabbits are killers and four rabbits are pharmacists. When three rabbits are killers, they help others to abuse, and four rabbits should be close. How can four rabbits help others to abuse? Go back and think about "Big Rabbit is sick". Oh, we finally concluded that the four rabbits often made some elixirs for the emperor, which made the emperor sick and personally cooked the rabbit medicine. 9- 10, when a woman cries, there must be a man who loves her around, and she must cry for the man she loves. Unfortunately, the rabbit who loves her and the rabbit she loves are not a rabbit. Obviously, ten rabbits secretly love nine rabbits, care about her, and see her cry, of course he wants to ask why.
In this way, one thing is finished. But is it really over?
Postscript:
1, love killing is not just a random guess. Looking at the overall situation, the second rabbit is highly valued, but even so, there is something he can't get, that is, the love of the nine rabbits. Therefore, this is probably the reason why the second rabbit wants to kill the fifth rabbit. Moreover, since the fifth rabbit is brilliant and upright, he should often oppose him at ordinary times, so the second rabbit has a killing heart.
2, in fact, the five rabbits died very miserably, because the two rabbits were crazy about him, so they didn't want him to become a normal man. Besides, the emperor usually eats the pharmacist's elixir of life, and he is extravagant. Everyone should know where he is the weakest. What is the so-called tonic? In fact, the part where the five rabbits are made into medicine should be ...
Now, what do you think?
It's not over.
Supplement to reasoning:
1, as a complete story, must have a causal relationship. This story has fruit, that is, love killing, but there is no cause, so it is incomplete. Why is Big Rabbit sick? Did getting sick for no reason cause a bloody case? Obviously not.
2. From a strict logical point of view, all the characters in this story are related, and there is a causal relationship (motivation) between each rabbit in sequence, such as: big rabbit and two rabbits, two rabbits and three rabbits, three rabbits and four rabbits. This has been roughly explained above, so I won't talk about it further. But do you think that the appearance of ten rabbits seems insignificant in this logic? Even without ten rabbits, the story can end naturally, so the motivation of ten rabbits in this logic is pale.
Is that really the case?
Conclusion:
According to the above reasoning, we all ignore the key point of this story, that is, ten rabbits. Why does he appear in this story? Is it just to lead to a sentence from Nine Rabbits? Wrong, this is a premeditated murder! Moreover, ten rabbits are the mastermind of this case-not two rabbits! All the other rabbits are a pawn in his overall plan.
The incident process is roughly as follows:
1, ten rabbits like nine rabbits-it has been judged above. And nine rabbits don't like him.
2. Five rabbits and nine rabbits love each other.
Three, ten rabbits are jealous.
4. It turns out that the Ten Rabbits are the biggest treacherous court official in the DPRK. They are people close to Big Rabbit, and they know the relationship between other rabbits like the palm of their hand. That is to say, he knows very well what will happen next if Big Rabbit gets sick.
5, but the five rabbits also have identities, and the ten rabbits can't dispose of him casually.
6, so, the ten rabbits tried to make the big rabbit sick by using the four rabbits, and then tried to make the two rabbits gossip.
7. Everything that followed happened as mentioned above ...
Final explanation:
Therefore, the main thread that runs through the whole story is: ten rabbits. He is the end of this story and the beginning of this story. In this way, this logic is seamless. The name of the story is: killing people with a knife!
Interpretation version 7: version of micro-inference;
If you think the last version of reasoning is too complicated, let's have a simple one.
"Big Nutbrown hare is sick", and Big Nutbrown hare is sick, which is the fuse of the whole incident.
"Look at the two rabbits", which can be understood as two rabbits to look at, that is, two rabbits and three rabbits, which should be big rabbits' cronies and aides.
"Three rabbits buy medicine". After seeing Big Rabbit, Two rabbits think that they should take medicine when they are sick, so Three rabbits are responsible for buying medicine.
"Four rabbits boil", the prescription of three rabbits finally came out, and it takes four rabbits to boil. Similarly, the four rabbits became the first to be boiled, and this was the first victim.
"Five rabbits died", so five rabbits also died of being boiled, the second victim.
"Six rabbits lift", which can be understood as being lifted and dead, the third victim, which can also explain the previous doubt about the word "lift": it takes more than two people to lift this action, how can a single six rabbits do it? Because he was carried ...
"Seven Rabbits Dig a Pit". In order to avoid death, the seven rabbits rushed to dig a pit and gain goodwill in front of the two rabbits and three rabbits. It is better to say that it is trust.
"Eight rabbits are buried", and the same eight rabbits hurried to bury three dead rabbits to avoid death. To drag out an ignoble existence, I am willing to be his pawn.
"Nine rabbits sit on the ground and cry". The key here is why nine rabbits cry. Because the medicine needs four rabbits, and he will die next, so the nine rabbits cry. It seems that the nine rabbits understand the situation.
"Ten rabbits asked him why he was crying?" Ten rabbits don't know the situation, so they ask nine rabbits.
"Nine rabbit said:
"The five rabbits will never come back!" Why don't the five rabbits come back once they go? Five here means five rabbits, but obviously only four rabbits are needed. The reason is that seven rabbits and eight rabbits run to dig a hole and one to bury it in order to avoid death. However, medicine still needs a rabbit, and I will die next. I can't escape. If I escape, you will die. But even if the four rabbits die and take medicine, the big rabbit will still die. It's all a conspiracy between two rabbits and three rabbits: one * * * will kill five rabbits. Therefore, the nine rabbits mean "we five rabbits will never come back!" "
Interpretation version 8: helpless explanation:
Big rabbit is ill, two rabbits look, three rabbits buy medicine, and four rabbits cook.
I don't know how many times this process has been repeated in many people. Today you buy medicine, tomorrow you may be dying in bed. No one is surprised, no longer feeling. Life comes and goes, just like a cloud, no one can catch it.
Five rabbits died, six rabbits carried them, seven rabbits dug holes and eight rabbits buried them.
People have become accustomed to death. People have forgotten their grief and become numb and dull. Just mechanically doing the actions that I have done countless times before. When you bury your loved ones, it's like saying in your heart: Go out? Be careful on the road and come back early.
When Nine Rabbits burst into tears, Ten Rabbits even expressed surprise. Alas, only Nine Rabbit is still a little awake, and he realizes that his departed brother will never come back. But he's the only one still awake.
Interpretation version 9: boring explanation:
In any case, the previous content will still make you feel depressed. Let's have a lively atmosphere:
You can cover up all the rabbits from one to ten in front and have a look. As a result, what did we get?
Sick,
Look,
Buy medicine,
Boil,
Dead,
Lift,
Dig a hole,
Bury,
Sit on the ground and cry,
Ask him why he is crying.
Say: Never come back!
The breakthrough is in the word "look". Where to look? It must be the hospital, and then the main line of the whole story becomes clear.
A man was ill, went to the hospital to see, bought medicine, boiled it and took it, but he died. Everyone carried him out of the hospital, dug a hole in the graveyard and buried him. A family member of the dead man sat on the ground and cried. Others asked him why he was crying. He said, go to the hospital and never come back!
Then, this nursery rhyme is about the attitude that hospitals in today's society are morally bankrupt and have nothing to do with patients' illness just for making money!
Interpretation Version 10: Alternative Interpretation:
If you have been freed from the atmosphere of terror, then let's see an alternative:
In fact, this should be a record of a great plague infection in the history of the rabbit family.
The disaster started with Big Rabbit, who was ill-> Led to the second rabbit also went to see a doctor-> Three rabbits have to buy medicine to eat-> Four rabbits are also sick and suffering at home-> Five rabbits finally succumbed to illness-> Six rabbits also died of illness and were carried away-> In fact, the seven rabbits dug a hole knowing that they had prepared it for themselves in the rabbit world soon (we humans also have this custom)-> Eight rabbits are buried (needless to say)-> Nine rabbits are sitting on the ground crying (all the rabbits in the family have almost died, can they not be sad because they are seriously ill? ）——> Ten rabbits are rabbits who come back from outside and don't know it (every group has such a part), so they ask, "Why are you crying so hard?" ——> Nine rabbits said, "Five rabbits will never return!"
It's really a tragic scene where a dead rabbit is exposed in the wild and there is no rabbit singing for thousands of miles! Nine times out of ten, the dead (ten rabbits are dead, seven are dead and two are dying)!
Big rabbit is sick,
Two rabbits, look,
Three rabbits buy medicine,
Four rabbits boil,
Five rabbits are dead,
Six rabbits lift,
Seven rabbits dig holes,
Eight rabbits buried,
Nine rabbits sat on the ground and cried.
Ten rabbits asked him why he was crying.
Nine rabbits said,
Five rabbits never come back!
The origin of nursery rhymes
1. The original no one lives (not sure of its authenticity, anyway, let's read it as a story).
Original:
It wasn't a rabbit, it was a shrimp.
Shrimp is sick, two shrimp look, three shrimp buy medicine, four shrimp boil, five shrimp die, six shrimp mourn, six shrimp sit on the ground and cry, and seven shrimp ask him why he is crying. Six shrimps said that five shrimps would never come back!
First, the invisible tombstone
This nursery rhyme was heard by the folklorist Sima Zijian on his way back to the city from Yuejiacun.
That day, their car had just passed a mountain road, and suddenly they found a landslide ahead. The dirt and stones washed down from the mountain cut off the road. The mountain road is narrow, so it is impossible to turn around and go back. It seems that only the engineers who are stuck here and waiting for the clearing of obstacles can clear the road before they can go back.
Sima Zijian and Yang Lele were bored and flustered in the car, so they got out of the car and went to the side of the road for ventilation.
This is a winding mountain road. There are several five or six-year-old children playing by the roadside. They are singing this nursery rhyme while playing.
Sima Zijian suddenly became interested when he heard this nursery rhyme. He remembered that he was collecting nursery rhymes from all over the country, and he was going to compile a collection of nursery rhymes, so he asked Yang Lele to go to the car to get a recording pen and record the nursery rhymes.
"This is really a strange nursery rhyme." After listening to the nursery rhyme, Sima Zijian's brow wrinkled slowly. He turned to Yang Lele and asked, "Why did the prawns get sick, but the five shrimps died? This seems illogical. "
Seeing Sima Zijian's serious face, Yang Lele almost laughed: "When I was a child, I sang' Little mouse on the lampstand'. Can a little mouse really be called grandma? This is just a nursery rhyme that children use to practice counting. "
Sima Zijian shook his head and disagreed with Yang Lele: "I know the culture of China. Many nursery rhymes look unremarkable, but they actually have their origins, at least with local folk customs. "
Sima Zijian learned from several children that it is not far from a village called Huaishu Village. He decided to visit the village with Yang Lele, hoping to find something interesting. Seeing a guest going to the village, several children shouted and ran to the village.
The car turned a corner along the mountain road and saw a village. There are dozens of families in this village, and all the houses are scattered on the nearby hillside. I heard that a foreigner came and many villagers gathered around. Sima Zijian asked them about this nursery rhyme.
Soon, he found that many young people here sang this nursery rhyme when they were young. However, older people have never heard of this nursery rhyme when they were young, and they don't know where it came from. It just seems that all of a sudden, many children can sing it. Judging from the time, this nursery rhyme has only a history of more than 30 years in the local area. Where did the children learn it in such a closed village?
Sima Zijian turned on the computer search and found that there was no record of this nursery rhyme anywhere else. This nursery rhyme seems to have fallen from the sky to Huaishu Village!
Sima Zijian is pondering. At this time, someone shouted: "The village director is coming!" Sima Zijian turned around and saw a man about forty years old. When the village director learned that Sima Zijian was an expert in investigating folk customs, he was very happy and repeatedly invited them to stay in the village for a few more days. At this time, the news came that the road could not be repaired for a while. Sima Zijian decided to stay in the village for the time being and return to the city after the road was repaired.
After dinner at the village director's house, the village director arranged for Sima Zijian and Yang Lele to stay in two vacant rooms.
After making the bed, Sima Zijian came to Yang Lele's room and asked her to record the nursery rhymes into the document according to the recording. Yang Lele just finished typing, Sima Zijian suddenly cried with a loud "ah"! Yang Lele was startled and asked, "What's the matter?" At this time, Sima Zijian didn't know whether it was because of panic or excitement, and his face turned red. He pointed to the nursery rhyme just entered by Yang Lele on the computer and asked in a trembling voice, "Look, what does this nursery rhyme look like now?" Yang Lele looked at the screen and saw that the nursery rhyme on the document was lined up in the middle.
"Like what?" Yang Lele still doesn't understand.
"tombstone!" Sima Zijian explained while gesticulating with his hand, "Here is the top of the monument, here is the body of the monument, and here is the base of the tombstone!" After hearing what Sima Zijian said, Yang Lele really found that the shape of the nursery rhyme on the screen is really like a tombstone standing on a white paper!
Look at it as a story. Look at it as a story.
At this time, Sima Zijian's eyes lit up, and he found something: "Look, on this tombstone, the middle part is just the sentence" Five shrimps are dead ",which means ..." Before Sima Zijian finished, Yang Lele took over: "It means that this tombstone was built for this five shrimps who died in nursery rhymes!"
"Yes!" Sima Zijian nodded approvingly. "The function of the tombstone is to tell others who is buried here, and this nursery rhyme is actually the tombstone of Five Shrimps! To uncover the secret of this nursery rhyme, the key is to know who the dead' five shrimps' are in the nursery rhyme! "
Yang Lele couldn't help shuddering, and the quiet night in the mountain village suddenly became a little gloomy and horrible. Yang Lele never sleeps alone again, and says she wants Sima Zijian to accompany her. Sima Zijian had to sit in Yang Lele's room and clothes until dawn.
Early the next morning, Sima Zijian drew the outline of the "tombstone" displayed by the arrangement of nursery rhymes with a pencil and took it to the village director. Unexpectedly, the village director told him that the villagers in the village rarely used tombstones after they died. He was afraid that Sima Zijian wouldn't believe it, and he also found two villagers to accompany Sima Zijian to the mountains to find a circle, but he didn't find a tombstone.
This made Sima Zijian doubt his speculation last night: Is it really a fuss, this is just an ordinary nursery rhyme?
Second, die.
Sima Zijian returned to the village, and Yang Lele was chatting with netizens. When she saw Sima Zijian standing behind her and looking at herself, she immediately made a "886" and got off the line. Sima Zijian's head suddenly flashed like lightning. He grabbed the computer and quickly knocked down a string of numbers.
Yang Lele was startled and looked over his head. He saw what Sima Zijian had written on the computer: 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4, 10, 9, 4, 8.
"What does this mean?" Yang Lele asked.
"Words, words per line!" Sima Zijian pointed to the computer and said, "Look, the number of words in each line of this nursery rhyme is this string of numbers!"
Yang Lele counted the number of words in each line of nursery rhymes, and it was consistent with the string of numbers written by Sima Zijian. However, she still doesn't understand: "But what does this mean?"
"Homophonic!" Sima Zijian's breathing was a little short because of excitement. "Five is me, and four is death, and this string of numbers is …" Before he finished, Yang Lele suddenly understood and blurted out: "I die, I die, I die, die!"
At Yang Lele's voice, the room suddenly became dead silent. Sima Zijian found that Yang Lele had a face of panic, and he also felt a cold sweat coming out of his back!
A moment later, Sima Zijian broke the silence and said in a low voice: "From this sentence, the author of nursery rhymes is this dead' five shrimps', and he knows that he will die, so he said' die!'"
Sima Zijian's words reminded Yang Lele, and she went on to say, "This also explains why we can't find the tombstone of the deceased. Because the deceased expected that there would be no tombstone after his death, he made up this nursery rhyme to set up a tombstone for himself! "
"Yes!" Sima Zijian nodded. "Not only did he not have a tombstone, but maybe he didn't even have a grave. Moreover, he probably guessed that the truth of his death would be buried, so he wrote this nursery rhyme and told us some secrets that he didn't want to be known! "
Is there a secret hidden in this nursery rhyme? Yang Lele felt incredible, but Sima Zijian's analysis seemed reasonable. "But, the villagers in this mountain, let alone hiding a secret in nursery rhymes, I'm afraid they can't even make up the most common nursery rhymes?" Yang Lele asked.
Sima Zijian nodded slightly, which is where he has been thinking impassability. He quietly read the nursery rhymes several times, and then looked out of the window in meditation.
I don't know how long it took, but Sima Zijian suddenly stood up, ran out of the house and asked some children playing in the yard, "Where is your river, children?" The leading child replied, "Uncle, we don't have a river here. The water is picked from the well. " As soon as the child's words were finished, Sima Zijian immediately turned back to the house and said excitedly, "Shrimp! Shrimp! There is something wrong with the' shrimp' in this nursery rhyme! "
"What's the problem?" Yang Lele got up and asked.
Story story story.
Sima Zijian picked up a glass of water and gulped it down. Then he explained, "There is no river here, so naturally there is no' shrimp'. But how can there be such a thing in nursery rhymes that no one has seen before? They should weave tigers, foxes and rabbits, even if they weave dogs and cats, they won't weave a shrimp! This shows that the word' shrimp' must be meaningful! "
After hearing what Sima Zijian said, Yang Lele nodded again and again: "Yes! Children's songs and nursery rhymes really haven't seen anyone sing shrimp. I told you that this nursery rhyme is so awkward, so the original problem is here! "
"But what does' shrimp' mean?" Yang Lele think impassability.
Sima Zijian seems to have thought of it long ago. He picked up a pencil and wrote four big characters "educated youth in the countryside" on the white paper on the table. Then he drew a circle on the word "Xia" and the word "Zhi" respectively, and then said, "Shrimp" is a homonym for "Xia" and "Zhi". Could it mean "educated youth in the countryside"?
Yang Lele woke up. If this nursery rhyme was written by educated youth in the countryside, the problem would be solved. Educated youth has culture, so it is not surprising that such nursery rhymes can be compiled. And nursery rhymes appeared in the past 30 years, which happened to be the time when educated youths went to the countryside. And the secret hidden in this nursery rhyme is probably the story about seven educated youths!
The two felt that they were close to the answer to nursery rhymes at once.
Sima Zijian quickly found the village director. The village director confirmed that the educated youth did come to the village more than 30 years ago, but it was not the seven guessed by Sima Zijian, but only six.
Sima Zijian was somewhat disappointed by the village director's answer. How could it be six? There are seven "shrimps" in this nursery rhyme. If my reasoning is correct, there should be seven educated youths!
When the village director saw that Sima Zijian had doubts about his answer, he said, "The production captain at the time when the educated youth went to the countryside may know more about the situation. I'll let him tell you about it."
In a short time, the village director
