Homophony in China's Traditional Culture

Homophony in China traditional culture refers to words with similar or identical phonology but different meanings. This word is often used to express auspicious feelings such as blessing, auspiciousness and celebration.

For example, "Kui" is homophonic with "Kui", which means sharp and sharp, and "Kui" means the name of a constellation, so "Kui Xing" and "Kui Xing" together constitute "Kui Kui", expressing auspicious wishes such as "authority and astrology".

In addition, "Fu Lushou" is also a classic homophonic combination. Among them, "Fu" means auspiciousness, "Lu" means wealth and splendor, and "Shou" means health and longevity. These three words are indispensable elements in the greetings and in the design of Spring Festival couplets or background walls. These elements are related to each other in a homophonic and similar way, which makes people easy to accept all kinds of beautiful meanings while expressing their blessings.

In addition, "full house of children and grandchildren", "millions of profits" and "all the best" are also homophonic classic greetings. These words are easily accepted and remembered by people and become their favorite language elements in daily life.

In a word, the homophony in China's traditional culture not only expresses auspicious wishes and celebrations, but also enriches and expands the language meaning. These classic words have been deeply rooted in people's hearts and become treasures in folk culture.
