Is it related to Shaanxi customs that Guo in Bailuyuan eats dates and butterflies in Lizhuang eat plums?

People who have read the book "Wasted Capital" are probably still a minority group, so if we want to know? Soak dates? Or? Soak litchi? Maybe we can start with White Deer Plain written by Mr. Chen, because Guo in the story of White Deer Plain is a typical jujube eater. Guo Hetian Xiaoe? The story of soaking dates between them has begun.

Tian Xiaoe's father sold Tian Xiaoe to Guo to be his second wife, and the reason why Guo married Tian Xiaoe as his second wife was not limited to the family line, because before Tian Xiaoe married the Guo family, the Guo family had a first wife who even dared not provoke Guo, so Tian Xiaoe was inevitably subjected to hardships and ridicule since he married the Guo family. "White Deer Plain" wrote:

Don't let the baby sleep, let him eat dates. Every night, three dried dates were stuffed in, soaked for one night, and washed the next morning for Guo to eat on an empty stomach. ?

It has been clearly named here, and the reason why Guo married Tian Xiaoe as his second wife is also directly and positively expounded in the following story. Heiwa meets Tian Xiaoe. By chance, Heiwa teases Tian Xiaoe. Sister, I heard that you made dates for shopkeeper Guo. Is it true?/You don't say. ? Anyway, it is Tian Xiaoe don't want to hear, hear black Eva so naked asked, Tian Xiaoe suddenly felt like got a hammer. This shows that women are very resistant to this kind of thing.

After reading the plot of soaking dates in White Deer Plain, let's briefly describe Mr. Jia Pingwa's Waste Capital. Soak plums? In the plot, the writer Zhuang Zhidie once stuffed Mei Li into Liu Yue's body and ate it. Did Mr. Chen write it? Soak dates? , or Mr. Jia Pingwa? Soak plums? The process between them is the same, and the purpose is the same.

Mr. Chen, the author of White Deer Plain, and Mr. Jia Pingwa, the author of Waste Capital, are both genuine Shaanxi writers. When you read these two literary works, have you ever wondered: Since the authors of these two books are all Shaanxi writers, they are all mentioned in these two books without exception? Soak things? Could this strange phenomenon be a local custom in Shaanxi?

In fact, it is biased for us to be so direct and arbitrary. Although the authors of these two literary works are both Shaanxi writers, Mr. Chen and Mr. Jia are both famous writers in China, and both works were published at the same time. The story of this phenomenon described in the book is roughly the same, and all kinds of information seem to point to? Strange customs of Shaanxi? Actually, it is not. Look through the history books. Yin jujube? This phenomenon is indeed well documented and traceable. There are similar records in the local chronicles of the Qing Dynasty "Night Rain and Autumn Lights Record", so I won't talk about it here.

So does this strange phenomenon belong to Shaanxi Customs? To be sure, this phenomenon has been circulating among the people in Shaanxi, but it is not a unique nationality or custom in Shaanxi. Although this phenomenon has been recorded in local county records all over Shaanxi, it has never been accurately explained, which is a unique custom in Shaanxi. We can only understand it this way. Perhaps this phenomenon did happen in some places in Shaanxi, but where did this phenomenon originate? We're not sure yet.

Mr. Chen and Mr. Jia Pingwa published these two works almost at the same time. Even if both of them are Shaanxi writers, it cannot be concluded that this phenomenon is Shaanxi customs. Because as early as before the publication of White Deer Plain and Waste Capital, there were words about this phenomenon in other literary works, and the Night Rain and Autumn Lights Record in Qing Dynasty can directly explain this point. On the one hand, the reason why two literary masters can write this phenomenon is not? Never? On the other hand, it may only mean that the two of them have just heard similar rumors.

Mr. Chen and Mr. Jia Pingwa are not authors of the same period. Although these two works were published at the same time, it really proves nothing, at least not: in the book? Soak dates? Phenomenon and? Soak plums? This phenomenon is a custom or folk custom in Shaanxi. "White Deer Plain" describes the rural life in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, while "Abandoned Capital" focuses on modern society. Whether in the late Qing Dynasty or the early Republic of China, this phenomenon is a feudal and backward habit in the old society and is not worth advocating. However, we should still understand this old society from the perspective of literature.

Liang Lang said

The construction of this plot by the two literary masters is absolutely similar, and both of them mainly reflect the western regional culture and rural humanistic culture. In the two novels, the author gives a particularly in-depth description of Renyi Egret Village and Xi 'an, the ancient capital. Women's tragic color and men's feudal decadent color? This story has caused us to think about history and human nature.

Without exception, the two literary works used this feudal and backward dross custom to highlight some people's ignorance, thus infinitely magnifying this prominent category to the ignorance of feudal society at that time, and finally exposing some vagrants at the bottom of society and even intellectuals at that time. Perhaps the ignorance that belongs to human nature is also the ignorance under the background of the times!
