Another reason is that in ancient Tianjin, professional beggars went to the streets to beg, and they all held a Hua Gun in their hands, begging and dancing all the way, which is commonly known as the flower stick in Tianjin.
There is a Peking Opera. When likui jy came home, she was blind when she met her old mother. In order to arouse her memory, likui jy sang a childhood nursery rhyme to her: "Hey, the first month is right." This is the custom of Shandong area again. It is auspicious to think that beggars come to beg in the countryside of China. Because there is much food in this place, beggars will come to beg. Therefore, every New Year, in order to pray for a good year, children in the countryside dress up as beggars and join in the fun in the village. How do children pretend to be beggars? Is holding Hua Gun to perform along the street, which is a game that likui jy used to play when he was a child. In the end, during the Spring Festival, people in the countryside perform flower sticks, just like yangko dancing, which has become an entertainment activity during the Spring Festival.
Tianjinwei, until the 1950s, during the Chinese New Year, Tianhou Palace also sold Hua Gun, which was a small wooden stick with a flower note wrapped around it and a few small bells tied on the Hua Gun. It was very fun to play with Rinrin. This kind of Hua Gun, which beggars hold in their hands, is not only a symbol of begging, but also sometimes used to beat evil dogs. Dogs are animals that bully people, especially the poor. People who are insatiable would rather beg than steal or rob, and do nothing about dogs.
It happened that the dog looked down on people, and when you begged, the dog looked down on you first and barked at you viciously. What should I do if I meet a vicious dog? That Hua Gun will be useful. Therefore, Tianjin people also call Hua Gun in the hands of beggars dog stick. "Thirty-six lines, beating dogs to sell sugar", beating dogs is begging.
Tianjin people call a person a flower, but it doesn't mean that this person is a beggar. People in Tianjin generally call those who are not beautiful. Tianjin people are ashamed to live and suffer. When they go to a restaurant, they must order a few dishes. It is too stingy to see someone just want a bowl of noodle soup and "Hanako". Moreover, in all walks of life, Liba, who is not technically competent, is also called "Hanako". Colleagues are enemies. Ask someone about their skills. "Don't look for him, Hanako." It means that this person's craftsmanship is not good and he can't do beautiful work.
Tianjin people call a person a "flower root", which is even more mean. What's more interesting is that female friends often make fun of each other with the word "Hanako", which is not necessarily malicious: "Hanako, where have you been at night? I haven't paged you for a long time." With three points of femininity. The characteristics of Chinese, some derogatory words, sometimes become very intimate, like "The West Chamber". When Zhang Junrui saw Cui Yingying, he first said "abominable appearance" and became a modern word, that is, "Look at your little hateful appearance". Here, "hateful" becomes cute. When girls in Tianjin say "Little Flower Root" to each other, they show their appreciation for each other. They are pretty and coquettish, which makes people love them enough. When they scold, they show their infinite love in their hearts.
Turning "little flower flower root" into "old flower root" has no meaning of love. I often hear old sisters scold "old flower root", which is to scold their poor old man for being reluctant to eat and wear. When his sons and daughters come for holidays, they send him to buy food and only buy a bunch of stinky hairtail. Obviously, there are live crabs and big carp, but he just can't bear to buy them.
The child goes to school for half a day, and the mother takes the child back at noon. The first thing to do is to wash the "little flower face" for the child. Although Hanako is a beggar, at this time, you can't say to wash the little beggar face. A mother loves her children. She can scold Xiaohuazi's face, but you can't say that her children are beggars. The implication is too subtle.
