The 60th chapter of A Dream of Red Mansions: (Fang Guan said) "Aunt don't scold me, I didn't buy it from my aunt's house. Xiang Mei is a slave. Due to different versions, there are two expressions of "all slaves" here: "all slaves" and "all slaves".
Judging from the specific language environment and context, "slave" is naturally no problem, but it is also very likely that future generations are smart enough to change it. The word "Keanu" does not exist in Chinese at all, and its collocation violates the law of word formation. Relatively speaking, "slave" is the most consistent with the original intention of this two-part allegorical saying.
"Slave" and "slave", especially the latter mainly refers to little girls or girls in ancient times, and has little to do with "slave" and "slave". For example, many ancient singers had the word "slave" in their names, and the heroine of the traditional opera "Jinyunu" was called "Jinyunu". "Niannujiao" is a well-known epigraph name, from which a charming girl named "Niannujiao" can be read. This is also the case. In the self-note of "Lotus Palace Ci", Ren Yuanzhen once introduced: "Love slaves, advocate Tianbao fame, and be good at singing. There is a banquet downstairs every year. After a busy day, people start quarreling. The innovation of Yan 'an and Wei can't be banned, and all the music is over. Xuanzong sent Gao Lishi to shout upstairs, saying,' If you want to send slaves to sing, Twenty-five Lang will blow a small pipe to drive them away. Can people listen? I have been served quietly. "Said Xuanzong held a grand banquet, over time, everyone was too noisy to play music, Xuanzong let Gao Lishi shout please Niannu go out to sing, Wang Tai Li Chengning (25 Lang) played the flute to accompany, and they immediately quieted down. "Lux paged for slaves ... and sang a song for nine days, and twenty-five lang played the pipe one by one", which shows the great charm of slaves. As soon as the mother slave brightened her voice, she was as delicate as an Inging singing at night, as euphemistic as a lark singing, and as lively as a mandarin duck playing in the water. Xuanzong was very happy and named this song Niannujiao.
In the 20th year of Tang Kaiyuan (AD 732), the poet Li Bai and his wife Xu had their first child, a daughter. When the child was born, the bright moon was in the sky and the ground was covered with silver, so Li Bai named his daughter "Yue Ming slave". Li Cong, who once served as the official position of Stuart in the Tang Dynasty, had a prostitute named Chong Nu, who was very popular with her master. There was also a xiunv in the Song Dynasty. According to Yu Yonglin, a scholar in the Ming Dynasty, "The monks in the Song Jingling Temple know clearly that they don't obey the precepts, and they often stay with the prostitute Li Xiu. After all their clothes were sold out, Xiunu definitely lost money. The monks were fascinated, drunk and went straight into it, killing Xiunv. " In the Ming Dynasty, there was also a singer and dancer named Li Nunu, who was also very famous. She can sing and dance, and her beauty is outstanding. The portrait of Li Nunu 10 was taken from the song and dance films painted by the famous painter Wu Wei at that time, accompanied by poems by Tang Yin and Zhu Zhishan.
Song and Huang Tingjian wrote in Millennium: "Slave sleep, slave sleep, slave sleep." Song Zhu's "Old News of Quyi" Volume 1: "If you can, please take slaves as the head." Twenty-seven times of Journey to the West: "I was born a slave. I wanted to get married, but I was afraid that I would be helpless when I was old." Ruan Yue, a poet in Song Dynasty, wrote Song of Fairy Cave: A Gift to Zhao, an official prostitute in Yichun.
"Slave" appears not only in girls' names, but also in nicknames of boys and even princes and nobles. Tang Gaozong is famous for ruling the world, and the fine print is pheasant slave (Jiang Zhi, Shunzhi Town, edited by Yuan Yuxi). Emperor Song Wudi, a slave of posthumous title. Chen, posthumous title Huang Nu. "Chen Shu" cloud, people are secondary, the word is sincere, and the nickname is quite slave. "Shu Wei" cloud, Li v., all characters, nicknamed true slave; Gaoyou, word subset, small rank slave. "Zhou Shi" cloud, Wang Qing, son of Wang De, posthumous title maid-in-waiting. "Northern History" cloud, Lv Sidao posthumous title released slaves. "Old Tang Book" cloud, Li nicknamed brother slave. "History of the Old Five Dynasties" said that Emperor Min was a slave of the fine-print bodhisattva. "Liao History" cloud, Shengzong taboo dragon beard, small character Manjusri slave; Jing Zong's fourth son, named Qin Long, is from Yin Yan, and the fine print is Pu Xian slave; Nature plays tricks on people, little Khan slave. The notes of the Ming dynasty, Hakka Waihua, said: "Xu suffered from the culprit, his son was pregnant, and his mother wanted to do better when she was young, rather than have children." Those who fell to the ground from the bed died, smashed their waist with clothes and took abortion pills. The fetus is stronger, and when it is born, the fine print is left to the slave. "
Generally speaking, these names with the word "slave" obviously have nothing to do with "slave".
In fact, the meaning of "slave" and "slave" is very clear, that is, it refers to a little girl or a young girl. In Jinzhong dialect, girls are called "slaves" from birth to marriage. When referring to a single person, it means "my slave", "your slave" and "whose slave" From the perspective of Chinese grammar, the function of reduplication and Hua Er is to minimize the people and things it refers to, thus revealing intimacy and intimacy.
Let's go back to the two-part allegorical saying that "sworn brothers to Mei are all slaves ()". "Xiang Mei" is synonymous with maid. No problem. But "maid" also refers to a general age group. Even the maids of rich families will get married when they are of marriageable age. Soon after marriage, they will have many children and have to nurse and raise them, so naturally they can no longer be maids. Even if you still want to do it, no one wants it.
Conclusion: The above two-part allegorical saying can only be "sworn brothers to Mei, all of whom are slaves", and it can't be anything else.
So, what about the "slave" in the boy's nickname? It's also very simple. Men are expensive and women are cheap. The purpose of taking a cheap name is to support oneself. Like dog leftovers, iron eggs, stones and babies, they are also disgusted, so they are too lazy to make trouble.
