# The surname is too uncommon, and the bank passbook is frozen #

Text/Zhang Xiaojing

Recently, an aunt in Shandong Province, because her surname is too uncommon (MAN, the fourth sound), the bank passbook was frozen, and the internet opened a wave of uncommon words.

speaking of uncommon words, most of them originated in a specific era and are closely related to the development of the times. There are stories or legends behind them, and many of them have established meanings.

Most of the oldest uncommon words exist in older books, such as Classic of Mountains and Seas, Songs of the South, Book of Songs, etc. Many of them can't be searched by computers or even mobile phones, so special tools are needed to look them up.

On the vast land of Shaanxi, there are two words that have shone on the land of Sanqin for thousands of years and have been deeply integrated into the blood of Shaanxi people. One was born in the folk and the other was born in the royal family.

smart as friends, have you guessed?

"1" bi? Ng, much like Qin opera

bi? The word ng has 56 strokes, and it is really difficult to type it, because there is no such word in the thesaurus, so why can it be circulated in Shaanxi for ages?

this is closely related to its penetration into the lives of every local people, because bi? ngbi? As a kind of pasta, ng noodles are cooked by every household and have become an inseparable part of life.

On the other hand, there are two interesting legends about the word biang. One is said to have been created by a scholar and the other by Qin Shihuang.

legend 1: a long time ago, a scholar went to Xianyang, passed by the noodle restaurant, and was told by bi? ngbi? Ng sound attracted me, and I saw that the waistband with good color, smell and taste was thin and wide. I couldn't resist the attraction of food and couldn't help but come to a bowl. When I checked out, I was short of money, so I asked to pay the store in writing.

According to the phonetics requirements of BiangBiang's face, I saw a scholar with a tight eyebrow, and suddenly had a brainwave, while writing and reciting: A little fly to the sky, the Yellow River bends on both sides; The eight-character mouth is wide open, and the words go in, twisting left and right; The west is long, the east is long, and there is a horse king in the middle; At the bottom of the heart, next to the moon, leave a hook to hang hemp candy; Push the car and go to Xianyang. From then on, bi? ng bi? Ng noodles are famous in Sanqin, becoming a special snack in Shaanxi.

legend 2: bi? The word ng is related to Qin Shihuang. After the emperor ascended the throne, he began to live a happy life for a long time. Although hedonic food is good, it will be too tired to satisfy the first emperor.

The eunuch who often served the first emperor was very clever. He went to the folk and brought back a snack. The first emperor had a big appetite and marveled: What is this? The world is delicious. Eunuch replied: bi? ngbi? Ng surface. The domineering Qin Shihuang thinks bi? ngbi? Ng flour has become the royal food, so it is given a name with complex glyph, which is intended to flaunt its uniqueness.

there is no way to verify the legend, from bi? ngbi? Judging from the popularity of ng noodles, I think the first legend is more logical, because it fits the lives of ordinary people. Just like a wide, long bi with a kind voice? Ng sound has become a kind expression of Laoshan, just like the simplicity of Shaanxi people and the loud sound of Shaanxi opera.

"2" a word, the sun and the moon are in the sky

Speaking of the word (read zh? O), the earliest memory comes from a classmate in high school. His name is Yimao, both of which are traditional Chinese characters. Many people know that Yimao means good moral character. However, the word "Yi" stumped all the students, and it was embarrassing for them to know their names completely.

Maybe the classmate's name is too special, which made me remember this word for many years. Speaking of it, it also has something to do with the only queen in China. She is Wu Zetian, and her tomb is in Ganxian County, Shaanxi Province.

I think what a scene it was when Wu Zetian reached the peak of the highest power. As the only queen for thousands of years, she was extraordinary in herself. Wu Zetian, who was in high spirits at that time, thought: How can we show ourselves and be unique? The first is to change the number to Zhou, and the second is to change the name to Qi.

at that time, Wu Zetian * * * ordered people to create nineteen new words, which were widely used in the world and called Zetian new words. Among them, there is the word "Bi", which means that the sun and the moon are in the sky and shine all over the world.

On the one hand, the word "Yi" shows the uniqueness of Wu Huang, on the other hand, it is related to the public opinion that women were emperors at that time, in order to reconcile public opinion. The word "Sun and Moon" contains the harmony of Yin and Yang, and Yin and Yang dominate the world. It is a word game played by ordinary people at that time. After all, it has been justified since ancient times and everything is just right.

Of course, there are different versions of the invention of the word "Yi". One said that when Wu Zetian took the hair to practice, the dharma name was Ming Kong, and the other said that a young monk with the dharma name was Ming Kong, who used his quick wits to save his life. Of course, I won't go into details here. Because anecdotes are easier to remember, it's not surprising that some different versions have been circulated in the dynasty.

No matter what kind, there are beautiful scenery of the legendary queen, for whom future generations can only admire and cherish.

Of course, as the exclusive word of the Queen, the word "coffin" has always been taboo, and it was not until the end of the Ming Dynasty that the head of the book "Zhengzitong" written by Zhang Zilie was corrected from the original sun and moon, not from the second head, which probably best represents the majesty of the royal family, just like the word "I".

"3" Conclusion

As a native of northern Shaanxi, bi? Ng met by chance when he visited Shaanxi during his college days. Most people know bi? ngbi? Ng noodles are very popular in Guanzhong generation of Shaanxi province, but only a handful of people can write this word.

of course, in folk culture, bi? Ng has fresh blood injected by old artists. The above article "Craftsman in Ancient Culture" is about the creation of bi by paper-cutting masters. Ng's record

As for the word "Jiu", I saw it for the second time in a company many years later. I met many new employees who didn't know the word "Jiu" and couldn't appreciate the boss's ambition to develop business. I wonder if the boss knows that he has such a tall name, but what is the mood for employees not to know?
