Historical Records:
1. Zhou Libo's Stormy Weather, Part 1, 16: "At this time, Old Sun Tou came, saw the situation, and scolded, 'You're pretending to act stupid! Why don't you get up?'"
2, Cao Yu, "Thunderstorm," Act I: "If she is pretending with me, now that the master is at home, we are a trouble."
The origin of "pretending to be garlic" is said to be the Qing Dynasty Emperor Qianlong, who visited a place in the south in the spring of one year, and saw a piece of green garlic growing green and neat, and then praised it in passing, and then went to inspect it in the winter of the following year, but unfortunately, the green garlic had not yet grown in this season. In order to curry favor with the emperor, the local officials sent many daffodils transplanted together, from a distance its leaves look like green garlic, Qianlong looked after the real praise, the official was also promoted. After this, people will be false or do not pretend to understand the mockery of "garlic".
We usually call a person's deliberate concealment of the real heart of the garlic, garlic, as if the human associative activity, first of all, is an instinct, part of the people or a part of the human body as a technical job of the garlic.
