Other things related to relieving oneself.

"Take care of yourself" is a well-known saying, which means urinating or going to the toilet. It is called "convenience" or "internal emergency". Looking at some articles written by Huguang in Sichuan, it is often said that the origin of the word "relieving oneself" is that immigrants are bound on the road and inevitably have to urinate during the long journey. When they are in a hurry, they will ask the officials who escort you to untie the bound body double. It is said that Mr. Gu Jiegang explained this when chatting with friends in Chongqing in the 1940s: It is said that drowning is "liberation", but its meaning was not clear at first. When I went to Sichuan to talk to people, I realized that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, only Sichuanese were slaughtered by Zhang 1 12 people, and all my covered land turned into grass. Therefore, in the early Qing dynasty, the government forced immigrants, first filling Sichuan with Huguang people and then filling Huguang with Jiangxi people. Hold hands when you immigrate, if you can pull today. The displaced are in a hurry, please say "call it quits!" "Therefore, it comes down to the same generation of urine and urine, and it is not worthy of its meaning to spread to foreign countries. When Jewish students take exams, they must get a toilet card to go to the toilet, so it is also called "going to the toilet". The origin of "Jieshou" did not come from Huguang filling Sichuan, but the word "Jieshou" was also popular among Shanxi Sophora Immigrants. In fact, the word "Jieshou" appeared as early as the Yuan Dynasty. For example, "Jing Ben Popular Novel" and "Wrong Chop Cui Ning" said: "After a few words of greetings, Wei Sheng got up to relieve himself." It can be seen that the origin of "Jieshou" has nothing to do with the immigrants from all over the country during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The explanation of the word "Jieshou" can be traced back to the pre-Qin period. Warring States policy; Zhao Zesan: "Those who are more expensive than people in the world are not good for people." Knowing that "solving" is solving. "Exclusion", "explanation" and "solution" are synonyms for solution. The meaning of defecation comes from the meaning of "dissolving". The meaning of "Xie" has always been used in Han literature. For example, Wang Chong in the Eastern Han Dynasty wrote "Lun Heng Han Wen": "People are cold, and after drinking medicine, they are relieved and suffer a little." This means that people will take medicine and defecate after catching a cold, and the pain will be alleviated. Later generations have been used. Song Zhou Mi's History of Dong Qiye, Volume 14, Cattle Food News: "Typhoid fever in the past year, I don't understand it for ten days." This means that you can't defecate for more than ten days. Yuan anonymous's drama "Ghost in the Pot" is the third fold: "I want to get up and pee." Notes on the precepts of Qingping Mountain Hall: "The little monk had a bad abdomen the day before yesterday and has not recovered yet, so he has to borrow (the toilet) to solve it." Feng Ming's magnum opus "Warning and Zhao Taizu Send Jingniang a Thousand Miles": "The pain of pushing the abdomen is unbearable, and it has to be solved several times." Shen Congwen's Huiming: "When you wake up in the middle of the night, you will pay your bill." It can be seen that the word "Jie" with the meaning of defecation first appeared in the Yuan Dynasty. Then why is there a "hand" behind the "solution" Chinese vocabulary has a strong demand for disyllabic words, and "Xie" is a monosyllabic word, which is inconvenient to say and needs disyllabic words. Xie Yan's pronunciation of "Yan" is similar to that of "hand", and some people say that "Xie Yan" is "clean hand", such as "Yolanda Sanqu Hong Xiuxie": "How can this be stopped? Push your hands clean when you touch the basin, which scares me. " Chapter 34 of the Water Margin: "Song Wu stopped and said,' I want to clean my hands.' The word "jieshou" is popular and concise, which meets the requirements of two syllables in spoken English, so it is widely used as spoken English.

Another meaning of the word "quit" is "hand in hand", such as Qin Guan's poem: "I can't bear to quit in spring and stop the boat." It refers to "hand in hand" when friends meet or leave, which is equivalent to modern handshake. As "hand in hand", "Jieshou" was rarely used in ancient times. When "jieshou" is used as a special spoken language for defecation, it becomes ambiguous and is discarded as "handshake".

folklore

For hundreds of years, many families have been handed down from generation to generation, and their ancestors are ancient Huai Shu people in Hongdong, Shanxi. Because the symbol of immigrants in Hongdong county is compound toenails (commonly known as double toenails), there are people with compound toenails in many areas so far, so they call themselves Hongdong people. Hong Tong immigrants occurred in Hongwu and Yongle periods in Ming Dynasty. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, due to more than ten years of wars, natural disasters and epidemics, people in northern areas, especially in Hebei, Henan and Shandong, died one after another, leaving ten rooms and nine vacant rooms. However, mutiny and various disasters and epidemics rarely spread to Shanxi. Compared with neighboring provinces, Shanxi has a stable society, a prosperous economy and a rich population. After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, in order to restore and develop agricultural production, Shanxi farmers with narrow land and dense population were moved to Hebei, Henan, Shandong and other places with vast land and sparse population.

Hometown is bright, and it is hard to give up. Who doesn't miss having their own hometown? No matter how the government urges, people still don't move. The government had no choice but to put up advertisements everywhere, saying, "If you don't want to move, gather under the big locust tree in Hongdong and arrive within three days." Those who want to emigrate can wait at home. "After people knew the news, they rushed to the old locust tree. People from the north of Shanxi came, as did people from the south and southeast of Shanxi. On the third day, hundreds of thousands of people gathered around the ancient pagoda tree. They get married and have children, bustling, silently praying for God's blessing. Suddenly, a large group of officers and men rushed in and surrounded the unarmed masses. Several military commanders surrounded an official and came to the middle of the crowd, announcing loudly: "Emperor Daming ordered that all those who came under the big locust tree should be removed. "This order was like a bolt from the blue. People were shocked, but then they realized that they had been cheated. So the voice of swearing, calling for women, crying for mom and dad, merged into one. But all this did not help, and the officers and men forced people to register and issue certificates. In order to prevent escape, the officers and men asked the relocated households to take off their shoes and socks and cut a knife on their little toenails as a sign every time they registered. Since then, the toenails of the descendants of immigrants have become complicated.

After the officers and men forced the people to register, in order to prevent them from escaping, they tied them behind their backs and then connected them with long ropes to escort the immigrants on the road. People look back step by step. Adults look at the big locust tree and tell the children, "This is our hometown". So far, no matter where the descendants of immigrants live, Dou Yun's ancient locust is their hometown, which is the reason. Because the immigrant's arm was tied for a long time, his arm became numb and he soon got used to it. Later immigrants mostly liked to walk with their hands behind their backs, and their descendants also followed this habit.

During the escort, because of the long distance, people often have to pee on the road, so they have to report to the officers and men: "Sir, please relieve yourself, I have to pee." The more times, the simpler this oral request tends to be. As long as you say "Sir, it's convenient", everyone will understand that you have to pee. Since then, "jieshou" has become synonymous with peeing.
