In the historical records, Liang Hong's family is a very poor family, but he is very talented, and many daughters of powerful families want to marry Liang Hong, but Liang Hong is not impressed, so they do not want those Miss Qianjin. A Meng family in the same county as Liang Hong has a daughter Meng Guang, who is more than thirty years old and has not yet married, and Meng Guang is not good-looking, it is said that she looks like a weightlifter. Meng Guang declared that he wanted to marry only Liang Hong, and Liang Hong married Meng Guang after he knew.
Meng Guang dressed up to get started, but Liang Hong ignored her for seven days, so Meng Guang asked why. Liang Hong said: I want to marry a wife who can live in seclusion with me in the mountains, and your dress is too far away from my wishes. So Meng Guang said: I don't look good, I just test your ambitions, the clothes for seclusion have long been prepared. So Meng Guang unloaded her equipment, changed into her cloth clothes, and took care of the housework. Liang Hong was very happy to see Meng Guang like this, and said: This is the wife I want to marry. Since Meng Guang changed into linen clothes, he personally spun yarn and weaved cloth, and the husband and wife respected and loved each other, and the men cultivated and the women knitted, and spent a peaceful time in their hometown. After that, the two also lived in seclusion in the mountains, living a life of respect and freedom in the mountains, living a free and secluded life of farming, reading, and playing the piano.
Meng Guang took over Liang Hong's case
Liang Hong's case of receiving Meng Guang is an allusion, that is, Meng Guang raised the wooden tray over his eyebrows, bowed his head, and held it to Liang Hong in a dignified manner, so why did it become Meng Guang who took over Liang Hong's case? Where did this come from? Let's take a look at some of them now.
Meng Guang took over Liang Hong's case, and this sentence came from the dream of the Red Chamber. One day, Jia Baoyu suddenly found that the relationship between Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochao had become better, and he was very strange, so he used a sentence in the "West Chamber" to joke with Lin Daiyu, that sentence was: "When did Meng Guang take over Liang Hong's case." Why do you say this in reverse? Because to put this sentence in reverse, does it mean that the sun is coming out of the west? When did you become respectful? So there was Meng Guang who took over Liang Hong's case, and now this sentence is also the meaning of metaphorical inconceivability.
Meng Guang took over Liang Hong's case, which must have evolved from the story of Liang Hong's taking over Meng Guang's case. What kind of story is this? After Liang Hong married Meng Guang, he saw Meng Guang's makeup and did not want to pay attention to her, after Meng Guang asked, he knew that it was because of her makeup that he would not want to ignore her, so he told Liang Hong that this was just to test him, and then he took off his makeup, put on her cloth clothes, washed and cooked for Liang Hong, and lived a secluded life with Liang Hong as a guest. In the deep mountains, when it was time to eat every day, Meng Guang took the wooden tray, raised his eyebrows with both hands, and gave it to Liang Hong in a dignified manner. This demeanor is done by the husband and wife every day, expressing the great love between Liang Hong and Meng Guang.
But when this sentence is said in reverse, the meaning is the opposite, and it is said that the sun has come out of the west, which is very incredible.
Meng Guang raised an eyebrow
Raising eyebrows, it tells the story of Liang Hong and his wife Meng Guang during the Eastern Han Dynasty. Liang Hong and Meng Guang are husband and wife, they are very affectionate, Liang Hong is a handsome man who many rich women want to marry him, and Meng Guang is a fat and ugly and black woman, so why does Liang Hong not like beautiful women and marry Meng Guang?
According to the history books, Liang Hong's family was very poor, but he was very knowledgeable and virtuous. The Meng family in the same county as him has a daughter who has not yet married out at the age of 30, and when her father asked him, she said: I want to marry only Liang Hong. After Liang Hong heard the news, he married Meng Guang. Meng Guangsheng made up the entry, causing Liang Hong to ignore Meng Guang for seven days. Meng Guang saw that Liang Hong had not paid attention to himself for seven days, and he was very panicked, so he asked Liang Hong. Liang Hong said: "What I want to marry is a wife who can live in seclusion with me. So Meng Guang took off his dress, put on a cloth coat, and the two lived a comfortable and secluded life.
But this good time did not last long, Liang Hong arrived in Luoyang because of the incident, saw the gorgeous palace, and thought of the toiling people, so he made a poem, but this poem offended the emperor and ordered him to be hunted, so he could only change his name and surname, and fled with his wife to Qilu to work as a servant in the home of a rich man Gao Bo. Although he was reduced to a slave, the etiquette 5 between husband and wife did not change at all, and before it was time to eat, Meng Guang put the simple things in the wooden tray, and then raised the height of his eyebrows, bowed his head, and held it to Liang Hong in a dignified manner. Unexpectedly, this behavior was coincidentally bumped into by the master Gao Bo, so he knew Liang Hong's identity and offered the couple as guests. After that, Liang Hong wrote books behind closed doors under the protection of Gao until his death.
"Raising the eyebrows of the case" is the daily etiquette of Liang Hong and Meng Guang, and I did not expect that the good story of "raising the case and raising the eyebrows" has been passed down to this day, and this story is also known as a model for the husband and wife to respect each other today.
