Follow the rooster and the dog

Pinyin: Ji à J à Su í J à, Ji à g à usu í g à u

Interpretation: Gu Li believes that after a woman gets married, no matter what situation she meets, she should live in harmony with her husband, be simple and abide by women's morality.

Source: Song Ouyang Xiu's daijiu Fuyan: "people say that if you marry a chicken, you will be chased by a dove." Song Dynasty Zhao Ruyuan's poem "Gu BIE Li" said: "marry a dog, chase a dog, chase a chicken, keep awake and think."

The habit of the dove is: male courtship, meaning: harmony between husband and wife, not just a way of obedience,

Do you not hear people say, "marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog", where everyone is like your eldest sister? In the eighty first chapter of a dream of Red Mansions by Cao Xueqin in Qing Dynasty, the saying "marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog" comes from the homophony of "marry a little with a little, marry an old man with an old man". In ancient times, marriage could only be arranged by parents. Even before they got married, they didn't know whether the other was always young, beautiful or ugly. The impression of each other can only be imagined from the words of parents and matchmakers, so when we see each other, no matter good or bad, it is a foregone conclusion, and we can only accept our fate. However, some people think that this proverb originally means "to marry a beggar, to marry an old man, to follow the old man", which means that a woman should live with her for a lifetime even if she marries a beggar or an old man. However, from the symmetry of the word, "Xi" and "Lao" are just opposite, which is more reasonable than "Qi". It means that even if a woman marries a beggar or an older person, she has to live with him all her life. With the changes of the times, this proverb has become a chicken and a dog.
