The story of "giving away from each other" can be said to have been passed down through the ages in Chinese history and warmed people's hearts. But when it comes to this word "囷", it does make many people scratch their heads. This word is usually used very little, and there are not many people who can read it.
In ancient times, "囷" referred to the round barn used to store grain.
In an agrarian society, food is the lifeblood of people, and the round barn is like a big "lifebuoy" to ensure people's lives.
Now, let's go back to the turbulent Three Kingdoms era to explore the origin of the allusion of "fingering and gifting". It is said that back then, Lu Su, a famous general in Eastern Wu, had a solid family background and was kind and charitable. When Zhou Yu was the head of the nest under Yuan Shu, he once borrowed grain from Lu Su.
Lu Su didn't say a word, and directly pointed to the round barn of his house and said: "You can take as much as you want!" This generosity and righteousness touched Zhou Yu greatly, and the two formed a deep friendship.
The "囷" here is the circular warehouse full of grain, and the "Finger Gift" is to point to this warehouse and say, "You can take whatever you want!" "Isn't this scene very similar to the scene when we shared candy with our friends when we were children? It's just that what is shared this time is full of food and deep friendship.
In addition to the allusion of "pointing to each other", we can also find the figure of the character "囷" from the history book "Chinese".
The words and deeds of various countries during the Spring and Autumn Period are recorded in the "Chinese", and the "Wu language" part records the history of the Wu Kingdom. There is a sentence in the book, "And the deer is empty", where the words "囷" and "deer" refer to the round and square warehouses respectively.
This phrase reflects the emptiness of the warehouses at the time, perhaps due to war, disasters or excessive food consumption.
In those turbulent times, the emptiness of the warehouse undoubtedly brought great panic and uneasiness to the people. But even so, the spirit of generosity and helpfulness like Lu Su is still like a clear stream, warming people's hearts.
The allusion of "giving to each other" is not only a historical story, but also a spiritual inheritance. It teaches us how important it is for people to help and support each other in difficult times. Whether ancient or modern, this spirit is worth learning and inheriting.
Let's reveal the correct pronunciation of the word "囷". It is pronounced "qūn" and is homophonic with "circle".
Today, "giving to each other" represents the traditional virtues of helpfulness and generosity of the Chinese nation. Whenever we meet someone in need, can we also be like Lu Su and lend a helping hand without hesitation?
The word "囷" not only represents a circular warehouse full of grain, but also represents the deep friendship and selfless help between people. Let us inherit this virtue together, so that the spirit of "giving to each other" will live on in the world.
Finally, do you know what the word "囷" has meaning in addition to representing a round barn?
