What are some stories about Chinese characters?

The stories about Chinese characters are as follows:

1. Drunkenness is not in the weng.

A man and his wife were entertaining two friends in their home, and friend A toasted to the hostess, saying, "Drunkenness is not in the wine," which is very rude; the hostess pointed out, "Drunkenness is not in the wine," saying that the friend had deviated from the intention of catching up and drinking with the host. The hostess pointed out that "drunkenness is not the intention of the owner", saying that the friend has deviated from the original intention of catching up with the host and drinking.

The male host is also a little unhappy, seemingly criticizing the friend A "drunkenness of the weng does not care", nonsense; friend B in the side of the sneaking pleasure, alluding to the master "care of the weng is not drunkenness sprinkled".

This is the charm of the Chinese language. In any other language, I'm afraid it would be hard to find such a riveting example. It is a pity that I have not learned Chinese well since I started my studies, I am really ashamed!

2. I'm not sure I'd dare to come.

On one occasion, the Xiong Nu in the north wanted to attack the Central Plains and sent a "war table" to the Emperor. The emperor opened a look, turned out to be "Tianxin take rice" four big words. Full of civil and military ministers, none of them can solve this riddle. The emperor can not think, only to open a list of recruitment. At this time, the palace of an official named He Detailed said, he has a retreat plan, the emperor declared He Detailed to the temple.

He Detail pointed to the "war table" on the four words to the emperor, said: "the sky, my country; heart, the Central Plains also: rice, the saint also. The heart of the sky to take rice, is to take our country's mountains, take the throne of the king." The Emperor said anxiously, "What then?" He said, "There is no harm, I have my own way to retreat."

Saying this, he put a pen in his hand, added a stroke to each of the four characters, and returned the original letter to the visitor. Xiong Nu's leading marshal, thought it was the Central Plains do not dare to respond to the war, but opened a look, suddenly shocked, and ordered to retreat. It turned out that He detailed in the "heart of the sky to get rice" four words after adding a stroke, became "may not dare to come".

3, ear.

Because of the Chinese characters and was beaten on the board: a book often write the wrong strokes. Once, he wrote "阝" (阝) on the right side of the Chinese character "陈", and was beaten twenty times by the officer. From then on, the scholar remembered that "阝" should be written on the left.

In the end, he wrote the character "郑" wrongly again, and received another twenty lashes. One day, a man named Nie asked him to write a petition, and he was horrified: "I wrote two 'ears' and got forty lashes, but you got three more 'ears', you're killing me."

4, buy lute five pounds.

Once upon a time, there was a hakama boy, since young, lazy, do not study well. When he grew up, he often made jokes by writing wrong words. One day his wife said she wanted to eat a loquat. He took out a piece of paper from the table and wrote a few words on it. When he finished writing, he asked his servant to buy loquats. His wife took the paper and laughed.

It turned out that what was written on it was "buy five pounds of pipa". The five words were wrongly written, and the word "loquat" was mistakenly written as "pipa". After his wife read it, she wrote a limerick on the back: "The loquat is not the pipa, but the poor literacy. If the pipa can be fruitful, the city will be full of pipa drums and flowers.
