One soup, two spoons. Song Fan Chengda's poem "Bing Wu Xin Zheng Shu Huai": "If you don't have two spoons of food in your mouth, you won't be able to eat enough grain. If your body can't have enough clogs, don't talk about money." The first sentence describes those gluttonous people who want to drink two spoons at the same time with one mouth.

Absolutely stunning.

The Buddhist scripture "Buddha Says Chapter 42" of licking honey on the blade of a knife says: "Wealth and beauty come to people, and people are reluctant to part with them.

Eat like a glutton. Gluttonous eating appears in "Zuo Zhuan: The Eighteenth Year of Duke Wen of Lu". Later, many people quoted this allusion.

"It's extravagant." It refers to using a pig's trotter as a sacrifice to pray for a good harvest, which is really "stingy", and it is a metaphor for those who want to get rich rewards for giving small gifts.

A bottle and a bowl. Bottles and bowls are the simplest eating utensils that monks must carry when traveling.

The idiom "one bottle, one bowl" may seem like a common saying, but it has an extraordinary origin.

The first person to use this idiom was Guan Xiu, a monk in Shu during the Five Dynasties.

Guanxiu, whose common surname is Jiang, whose given name is Deyin, also known as Deyuan, is from Lanxi, Zhejiang.

He became a monk at the age of seven. He practiced hard and fast, was good at poetry and painting, and could write well. The seal script and cursive script he wrote was called Jiang style.

Guanxiu was favored by Qian Liu, the king of Wuyue, and later entered Shu. He was well received by Wang Jian, the lord of Shu, and was named Master Chanyue.

His "Chen Qing Xian to the Emperor of Shu" contains: "A bottle and a bowl will make you grow old, and you can get thousands of rivers and mountains." Therefore, he is also called Dede monk, and "a bottle and a bowl" are also used by people.

Therefore, people refer to the situation of extreme poverty and lack of food and clothing as "Twenty-Nine Foods".

Frugality in food and clothing, also known as "reducing food and clothing", is also an idiom commonly used in literary works to describe a difficult life.

"It's not good to eat" and so on.

Although the semantics of these idioms are similar, the actual use depends on the specific situation, because the original documents they are based on often have differences in the degree of hardship.

For example, "civilian clothes and vegetable food", "evil clothes and bad food", "coarse clothes and light food" have basically the same meanings, but "evil clothes and bad food" are the most serious.

While "wailing for food" is used for babies, "crying for hunger and cold" is not suitable for adults.

There are also some idioms that originate from the same ancient story, such as "a basket of food and drink in a shabby alley" and "a basket of food and drink", both of which originate from the story of Yan Hui's poverty-stricken life.

Drinking from a gourd in a shabby alley, people cannot bear their worries, and (Yan) Hui does not change his joy. "Sometimes it is also called "eating a gourd of juice".

The saying "No Lowered Chopsticks" comes from the time when Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of the Western Jin Dynasty, lived a luxurious life and had too many kinds of food, which turned off his appetite.

, and ended up not wanting to eat anything.

"Book of Jin·He Zengzhuan": "A sun eclipses ten thousand qian, just like saying there is no place to lay chopsticks." From then on, "a sun eclipses ten thousand qian" has also become an idiom to express a luxurious life.

In fact, He Zeng's son He Shao was even more powerful than his father, "Eclipsing 20,000 yuan a day."

The language can be found in Liu Xiang's "Shuo Yuan·Jianben" of the Han Dynasty, "sitting with bacteria and eating on the cauldron."

This idiom has the same meaning as "the bells ring and the cauldrons eat", but their origins are different. The latter is found in Zhang Heng's "Xijing Fu", "the bells and cauldrons are beating, and the cauldrons are eating, and the horses are passing by".
