The historical source of the taboo at the age of 41
The saying of the Qing Dynasty
During Qianlong"s southern tour, he once traveled to Dezhou , interviewed local officials as usual, when he asked about the age of the magistrate, the magistrate said he was 41 years old.When Qianlong asked about the zodiac sign, the officials did not dare to say it, because he belonged to the dragon, and it would be disrespectful to say that he belonged to the dragon in front of the emperor, and there was a risk of beheading, so the officials hesitated and said that they were If it belongs to the donkey, the emperor Longyan will be delighted.
In Texas at that time, the donkey was a curse word.After the rumor that the 41-year-old is a donkey spread, Texans were also very taboo to say that they were 41 years old.A 40-year-old is two consecutive 42-year-olds.
Tang Dynasty"s statement
During the Tang Dynasty, once Tang Taizong chatted with the prime minister Wei Zheng, the emperor asked Wei Zheng how old he was and what he was.At that time, Wei Zheng and Tang Taizong were both 41 years old, and both belonged to horses, but he couldn"t say that.If they belonged to the same family as the emperor, it meant that there was no distinction between monarchs and ministers, and there was a suspicion that they were running side by side.So Wei Zheng told Tang Taizong that he was 41 years old and belonged to a donkey, which was inferior to a horse and could be driven by anyone.Tang Taizong knew that there was no donkey in the zodiac, but he was very proud of Wei Zheng"s respect and humility.
Later, when an official from the DPRK and China returned to his hometown to visit relatives, he informed the people of the incident.When people heard it, they only felt that being an official was very useless.They couldn"t even care about their own zodiac signs, let alone their own face.Even ministers were donkeys, so wouldn"t that seven-rank sesame official be a mule.Since then, everyone regards 41 as a disgraceful Nian Geng, and tries to avoid it when speaking.Over time, this strange custom has formed.
