Titles like“tali”and “kaim”have rted themselves deeply int Chinese histry and culture. What d they refer t? Have yu ever wndered what the stries behind these ideas are?
Mdesty and respect
Chinese peple in the past r even smetimes tday call their sns quanzi. They believe that dgs are humble animals. When Chinese parents use quanzi t refer t their sns, they are being mdest. Of curse, mst parents d have high expectatins fr their children and want them t be successful. Hwever, they dn't usually talk abut this in frnt f thers. Instead, they try t play it dwn. This is similar t hw even rich Chinese peple call their big huses hanshe, which means“my humble hme”.
Althugh peple are mdest abut themselves, they cmpliment thers a lt. They call their wn sns quanzi, but thers'sns linglang, which is a respectful way t say“yur sn”.
Trees f character
In Chinese, kaim means“rle mdel”. Bth f these Chinese characters have a“木”n their left side. This means kai and m might have been tw kinds f trees in ancient China, althugh there are different pinins abut this.
Accrding t Duan Chengshi, a btanist in the Tang Dynasty (618-907), there was a kind f tree called kai in suthwestern China. It was said that there were many kai trees grwing nearCnfucius' tmb. The trunks f these trees were very straight. Sme peple thught they were likeCnfucius'character– straight and upright.
Legend has it that the m trees grew near the tmb f the Duke f Zhu, a statesman(政治家)f the Zhu Dynasty (11th century-256 BC). The clr f the m tree's leaves was said t be pure,making the tree a symbl f purity and integrity. Since the kai and m trees grew near the tmbs f tw respected peple, kaim was then used t refer t rle mdels in general, accrding t SunYi, a schlar wh lived during the Sng Dynasty (960-1279).
Spreading seeds f educatin
There is a Chinese id im tali mantianxia, referring t a teacher wh has taught s many students that they spread acrss the cuntry like peach and plum trees.
The id im cmes frm a stry abut Zizhi, an fficial wh lived in the State f Wei during the Warring States Perid (475-221 BC). Zizhi was a knwledgeable persn. He pened a private schl and started t teach students. As a teacher, Zizhi was kind and wise. He chse students withut thinking abut their wealth r scial status. He ften pinted at a peach and a plum tree in his yard when asking his students t wrk hard.“Yu shuld becme a useful persn t cntribute t the sciety, just like when the peach and plum trees blm and prduce fruit,”he said,
