As people often say, "the pomegranate tree in the ceiling fish tank is Liu Li, a fat girl", which is a vivid portrayal of the well-off family life in the old capital. In summer, a sunshade is set up in the yard. There is a big goldfish bowl in the yard, and there are several pots of pomegranate in front of the screen. The family hired teachers to teach their children homework, raised fat dogs, and even the servants who used them ate fat for nothing. Life is carefree and enjoyable.

But this sentence is a complete curse, and it is obviously derogatory. The origin of this sentence is recorded in the book Notes on Old Beijing written by Mr. Xia, a native of Jiangning, Jiangsu Province. He used to be a juren in the Qing Dynasty, and he was an imperial adviser.

"All indigenous, industrial and commercial cremation. There are several kinds of people who eat official food and are called bibliophiles. They attack each other from generation to generation and grow up to be descendants. Zhejiang and Shaoxing are the most earthy places with abundant capital and luxurious life. There will be a gazebo in summer, porcelain jars will be installed in the yard to raise wenyu, and giant pots will be planted with pomegranate. If you have no children to study, you must expand a teacher to show your generosity. Cynics associate it with the cloud: "pomegranate tree in the ceiling fish tank, Mr. Liu and the fat girl." Its habits are also very natural. "

The so-called "all eat official meals" does not mean the current civil servants, but that they enrich themselves in different ways when performing their duties. These people are best at planning and making money. As the saying goes, "county officials are not as good as current management." So I gave such people the above sarcastic words.

From this point of view, the meaning of this sentence is undoubtedly a great irony of these people's ill-gotten wealth, luxury and elegance, and it is a standard swear word.

Through this article, I want you to know something about history, but times are different, so we don't need to be serious. Huagai Fish Tank Pomegranate Tree, Mr. Liu Lipang, now this sentence places the nostalgia of Beijingers for the comfortable life of quadrangles.
