explain
Legend has it that the dragon gave birth to nine sons, and the fifth son was called gluttony. It is a fierce and cruel Warcraft in ancient times. It likes to eat people and eat a lot. Gluttony was originally used in Zuo Zhuan to describe those heartless people who are greedy for money and food. But today, gluttony is often used to describe the meaning of "abundance, abundance and fullness". It can also be directly used to describe extremely rich food and can be directly used as a noun. This is a derogatory term and is often used as an advertising word. It refers to the collective promotion of colorful commodities, products, works and information for consumers to choose, appreciate or appreciate. The content is not limited to diet.

"An Introduction to Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" said: "Greedy, having a body, eating without swallowing its body, but also rewarding it with words." In ancient China mythology, gluttony was one of the four evils. Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor attacked Chiyou, who was beheaded, and became overeating on his first landing. There is a cloud in Shan Hai Jing Bei Shan Jing: "There is more jade on the mountain and more copper on the mountain in Wu Gou. There is a beast that looks like a sheep's face, has eyes under his arm, teeth are claws, and sounds like a baby. It is called cannibalism. " According to Guo Pu's annotation in Jin Dynasty, "Linli" here means gluttony. There is a similar record in the Strange Book of the West: "Gluttony, animal name, body like an ox, human face, eyes under the armpit, cannibalism." Yi Shu Jing said that "gluttony" refers to Sanmiao people in southwest China, and chen more, a close friend, further said that "gluttony" is Chiyou, while Mr. Wang's query on bronze decoration is considered as Shennong. In the later period, there was a legend among the people that a dragon gave birth to nine children. Lu Rong and Yang Shen in Ming Dynasty listed gluttony as one of the nine sons of the dragon, which is already a kind of attachment. In Lu Rong's Miscellaneous Notes on the Garden, it is recorded that gluttony "is good for water, so the bridge is built", while in Yang Shen's Collection of Mountaineering Temples, it is recorded that gluttony is good for food, so it is built on the tripod. Because gluttony is so gluttonous, later generations call gluttonous people "gluttonous". According to Zuo Zhuan's Eighteen Years of Wengong, Ji sent someone to tell Lu Wengong a story: "The Jinyun family is incompetent, greedy, taking bribes with goods and encroaching on extravagance. . . People in the world are more fierce than three, which is called gluttony. " Du pre-noted Zuo Zhuan that greed means gluttony, and gluttony means gluttony. Su Shi was always interested in food in the Northern Song Dynasty, calling himself "gluttonous". Of course, gluttony here only refers to chasing food, which is not elegant. In A Dream of Red Mansions, when Jia Baoyu and Chai, Dai and other beautiful women wrote poems about crabs, there was also a saying in the poem that "a gluttonous gentleman and grandson want wine, and a crazy son has no intestines".
