Pig's Blood Boiled Tofu - Black and White Clearly Distinguished

The colors of pig's blood and tofu contrast sharply, one black, the other white, so it is called "Black and White Clearly Distinguished", which is a metaphor for right and wrong having a very clear boundary. It is also a metaphor for distinguishing right from wrong and good from bad.

Hysteresis is a kind of familiar language. Most of the masses are familiar with the witty and graphic statements, the use of the latter can be hidden, the previous text to show the meaning, such as only said "chess board in the chessboard" to show that the road is not right; can also be juxtaposed with the previous and following the text, such as "Sesame blossoms - section high".

Expanding the meaning of the hiatus, which is called "witty" in Beijing, means that you can leave out the second half of a sentence. For example, the phrase "tofu on a horse's tail" omits the phrase "can't afford to mention it". Sometimes homophones are also used.
