Liberate yourself Chapter 35

1

In the early 1960s, my mother's little sister, my aunt, went to Shanghai from Jinan. She was serving in the army at that time, because she was pregnant with my cousin, so she returned to Shanghai Maternity Hospital to wait for delivery.

My mother has four siblings. They are all surnamed Li with the name "yi". The interpretation of "yi" in Chinese is "etiquette".

According to the statistical results of the sixth national census in 2010, the population of mainland China surnamed Li is over 95 million, accounting for about 7.9% of the Han population in the country.

In Chinese history, as many as 60 emperors named Li successively established regimes, such as Dacheng, Xiliang, Liang, Wu, Wei, Tang, Chu, Late Tang, Southern Tang, Dashu, Xixia and Dashun.

My grandpa's name is Li Junhu.

Jun, pinyin: jùn. "Jùn" is the same to unblock and dig deep. His name means dredging the lake. It is a combination of swamp removal, hard work and wisdom.

My maternal grandfather was very capable, able to write and master martial arts, read many classics of ancient China, understand the 18 famous weapons of ancient China, and know how to do Tai Chi martial arts.

My grandfather advocated etiquette and valued etiquette and ceremonies. Etiquette is a code of conduct that Chinese people mutually recognize in terms of appearance, manners, etiquette, etc. in social interaction activities. My grandfather often used "rituals and rituals" to educate his children. He also said: "Etiquette and Ceremony" is also a legal system.

Ritual is a person's appearance or behavior. Prestige like manners.

Etiquette is also a ceremonial procedure performed in ancient China, such as etiquette.

In fact, "yi" is also an instrument for measuring, drawing and experimenting.

From another perspective, "yi" represents the legal system and guidelines.

My grandfather also said: "yi" represents the world.

My grandfather admired "yi" very much, so I named "yi" in all four children's names.

In ancient China, "yi" communicated with "behavior".

Confucius regarded knowledge, benevolence, and courage as three virtues. On this basis, he proposed etiquette, filial piety, loyalty, integrity, forgiveness, respect, generosity, faith, interest, warmth, kindness, thrift, concession and kindness. A series of moral standards are rigidity, easyness, wisdom, self-denial, and moderation. Mencius regarded benevolence, justice, politeness and wisdom as the four basic virtues, and extended it to "five ethics and ten religions", namely loyal emperor, filial piety to parents, brothers in harmony, loving couples, and friends must have a common belief. The later generations integrated the pre-Qin Confucianism and put forward "four dimensions" (li, yi, honest, shame) and "eight kinds of virtues" (loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, love, faith, justice, peace, harmony). Dong Zhongshu proposed "three outlines and five constants", in which the loyal emperor is the main body, the son must obey the father, and the wife must obey the husband. The general educational thinking is: kindness, justice, politeness, wisdom and faith.

My mother is the eldest of the four sisters, and the eldest of the family of the surnamed Li at that time, so it is called "Guanyi", with "Guan" as the head.

"Crown" is a Chinese word. During the Warring States period, the word "crown" began to appear in the text of the Warring States period. This glyph is also inherited by the seal script, and the "crown" character of Xiao Zhuan is like putting a hat on your head with your hand. In the Han Dynasty Lishu, the word "crown" evolved from the writing of the seal script in the Qin Dynasty. The writing method of Kaishu is evolved from the writing method of Lishu in the Han Dynasty.

The original meaning of "crown" is a hat. "Crown" is a kind of thing that combs hair, and is a general term for hats. In ancient China, both men and women had long hair. Therefore, when men and women are minors, their hair is draped or tied to the ear. On the day of adulthood, a man wears a crown at the age of 20 and wears a crown at the age of 15. Since "Crown" is a gift of adulthood, then "Crown" has naturally become the pronoun of men's adulthood. In addition to the crown, the hats of the ancient Chinese people also have "crown" and "Ben".

"Crown" is an ornament worn on the top of the head, so it is at a high place, so there is the expression "champion" "... crown", which means to be in the first place and lead. What looks like a crown and sits on top of the head is also called a crown, such as "chicken crown", "tree crown", "laurel crown", and so on.

My mother was named "Guanyi", which is the eldest of the family named Li.

My uncle, that is, my mother's eldest brother is the second child, and his name is "Yueyi". Pinyin of "Yue": yuè. The basis for "Yue" to read Cantonese is: "Orthodox Dictionary", "Guangdong Pronunciation Rhyme", "Standard Phonetic Vocabulary", "Chinese Dictionary", "Reading Vocabulary" and "Homophonic Dictionary".

The common words of Cantonese homonym of "Yue": Yi, Yue, Yue, Yue, Yue, Yue, Yue, Yue, Yue, Yue.

"Yue" is actually one of the eighteen weapons of ancient China. The eighteen weapons generally refer to a variety of skills, and their contents vary in different periods. Its name was first seen in Yuan Qu. Some people in modern Chinese opera called knives, spears, swords, halberds, axes, yue, hooks, forks, whips, maces, hammers, ge, prisms, sticks, ji, rods, spears, and rakes.

Yue is the origin of the axe, while chronology is the same. But Yue and Axe are not exactly the same and cannot be mixed. The cymbal head is one-third larger than the axe, and the rod end is one more spearhead than the axe, which is about one foot and six inches long. The cymbal head is longer than the axe bar is also six or seven inches; the end of the axe bar is not drilled; the cymbal is like a gun bar, the end There are three pointed diamonds. Axe and Yue are like guns and spears, arrows and crossbows, with different forms and different functions. Yue is a kind of axe, but it is bigger than an axe. Fluorine shape. If you press on the pole, there is a spearhead on it.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Yue unearthed more, but it gradually lost its warrior nature and became ceremonial ornaments and Mingtang ritual dance. This is because the sword is widely used on the battlefield, which makes the bulky Yue decommissioned.

Although my uncle is a soldier, he doesn't like the name. He studied foreign languages ​​at Shanghai St. John's University, and then participated in the New Fourth Army with those progressive students under the planning of the Communist Party of China. He changed his name to "Xi Zhi", which means "learn while learning," emphasizing that he is a learned person. After liberation, the uncle served as an officer in the Political Department of the Nanjing Military Academy under the direct leadership of the Central Military Commission.

The mother's youngest sister ranked third, called "Juyi", she is my aunt. Listening to my mother, my aunt was almost raised by my mother. Therefore, their relationship is particularly close.

The basic meaning of "jue": two pieces of jade together. The two jade are combined into one jue. Jue is the king of jade.

When my aunt was confinement in Shanghai, my mother mainly took care of her. But my grandmother made a casserole of ginger according to the habits of the Cantonese. But my aunt didn’t eat it, neither my mother, grandparents nor grandmother. As a result, all the ginger I cooked was eliminated by me. The days of eating ginger all day are still in my memory.

Aunt gave birth to a boy, because he was born in Shanghai, so called "Xiaohai". At that time, "Xiaohai" had an older sister named "Zhang Li" and an older brother named "Zhang Bing".

When the aunt spent her maternity leave in Shanghai, her cousin Zhang Li also came to Shanghai, and she always played with me and my sister.

My aunt was not only very beautiful, but she also knew Shu Li. She was the first graduate of Renmin University of China. At that time, the principal of Renmin University of China was Xu Telan. After graduating from college, Aunt joined the Air Force. My uncle Zhang Hua was an air force university. But he never tells his past experience.

Until the mid-1980s, when I was the director of the Shanghai Press and Publication Bureau, because of the handling of a petition letter transferred by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the four petitions were all air force seniors, one of whom was actually my uncle. Zhang Hua. The letter was addressed to Chen Yun, secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. I must report the results of the investigation to my superior. So I interviewed my uncle, and then I learned about the things my uncle experienced.

It turned out that the uncle Zhang Hua was one of the pioneers in the formation of the Chinese Air Force. My uncle is an instructor of the Northeast Democratic Coalition Aviation School (commonly known as the old aviation school). The uncle once flew the plane to the pilot in Yan'an during the "Jianguo" uprising on August 20, 1945. This aircraft became the first aircraft of the Eighth Route Army.

After the outbreak of the Korean War, in order to support ground operations, the uncle went to the DPRK with the army. The Chinese Air Force fought bravely on the Korean battlefield and wrote a glorious page for the Chinese Air Force. The fighting heroes of the Volunteer Army who graduated from the old aviation school of the Sino-America Anti-American Aid Korea include: Li Han, Hua Longyi, Liu Yudi, Wang Hai, Zhang Jihui, Wang Tianbao, Gao Yueming, Zou Yan, etc. They used to be students of Phase I and Phase II of the old aviation school. My uncle was one of the main flight instructors at the time. Wang Hai served as the deputy commander of the Third Division of the Air Force of the Volunteer Army. He had shot down and injured nine enemy aircraft in air combat. The aircraft he piloted won nine red stars. Wang Hai served as commander of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force in 1985. Before my uncle left, he served as the deputy chief of staff of the Air Force Command of the Jinan Military Region.

The mother's younger brother is called "Zunyi" and is also a university graduate. He works at the East China Electric Power Research Institute as an engineer. He is the youngest brother of his mother, ranking fourth.

Zun, this is a large and medium-sized wine container in China during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Bronze ware, zun-shaped circle foot, round or square belly, long neck, open mouth, large diameter. Zun Sheng was popular from the Shang Dynasty to the Western Zhou Dynasty, and was rare in the late Spring and Autumn Period. The more famous one is Siyang Fangzun. From the Shang and Zhou Dynasties to the Warring States Period, there was another special type of wine container-Yi. Yi is usually in the form of birds and beasts, with images of sheep, tigers, elephants, cows, cows, horses, birds, geese, and phoenixes. "Zhou Li·Chun Guan·Sizun Yi": "Spring Temple Xia Zhai, naked with chicken and bird Yi... chasing Chaoxiang, naked with tiger Yi Yi Yi." The head has a respectable cover.

"Zun" is an important ritual used in ancient rituals. These rituals are particularly respected, so the word "zun" also derives the meaning of "respect", which means "shengjiu" when used as a verb, and when used as an adjective "Noble", when used as a noun, sometimes means a respected person, such as "Ling Zun", etc.; when used as an honorific speech, it means respect for the other party, such as "respected surname". Later, the word "zun" was extended as a quantifier, such as "three statues of Buddha".

My grandfather is good at drinking. Perhaps his mother's younger brother is named "Zun Yi", which is related to this wine culture.
