The Lantern Festival has passed, and I believe everyone has guessed a lot of riddles. 315 is a day of anti-counterfeiting, and it has passed. Here, Sixiang wants to expose some false and wrong riddles in the riddles, please correct them.
Look up the riddle "Longxi Xing (type)" on the Internet, and you will find that the riddle of many websites is "dragon". Some websites explain that the western half of the word "Long" is "阝", and the rest of the word "dragon" is left.
The original explanation of this riddle is questionable. The western half of the word "Long" is "阝", and the rest of the word "dragon" is left. Such an explanation is inaccurate. Because as a kanji, there is no western half. The word has an upper, lower, left, right, and middle structure. If the word "Long" has the west, then it should also have the north (upper) part and the south (lower) part, because the four directions of east, west, north and south exist at the same time, but the word "Long" is only a left and right structure, not an upper and lower structure.
Up north and down south, left west right east. This is the way we look at maps. In this way, "west" corresponds to "left". Therefore, "Longxixing" means that the left part of the word "Long" is gone, so that the right part of the word "dragon" remains. This is where the orientation method is used.
In this way, after analysis, we know that the original explanation of this riddle is indeed inaccurate. Well, a big place has east-west-north-south directions, where does a small square word come from in the western half?
