As the saying goes, 'the woman with the onion, the garlic with one head, the woman with her head up, and the man with her head down', do the four poisons in the countryside make sense?

There are all kinds of sayings circulating in rural China, which affect our lives and bring many changes to our lives. I remember when I used to live in the countryside, I used to hear these proverbs spoken by people, which made people have a profound impact on these proverbs. In particular, the phrases "Niangniang onion", "one-headed garlic", "a woman with her head up" and "a man with her head down" can better reveal the things that rural people should pay attention to in their lives.

First of all, let's talk about empress onions and single-headed garlic, which have a lot to do with our lives. As an authentic farmer, I know that the scallions are more pungent after they have bloomed than when they have not bloomed, and only its unique smell can directly shed tears. So Empress Onion is also used as a metaphor for those who are sad and weeping. These people only make you cry every day and cannot give you a little happiness. One-headed garlic is powerful, and it describes a lonely and cruel person. As we all know, the spiciness of single clove garlic far exceeds that of ordinary garlic, and single clove garlic is unique and has no other garlic cloves. This loneliness makes their hearts more cruel.

Scallion spicy mouth, garlic spicy heart. Refers to the kind of person who is vicious and cruel, and will not forgive others. Niangniang onion is said to be the onion sprouts that grow from the root after the onion is seeded. It is more spicy and harder to eat than ordinary onion. For ordinary people, this kind of person is the most difficult to associate with. They think of themselves everywhere, and always only value themselves.

Secondly, let's talk about women with their heads up and men with their heads down, and tell us about the cautious interactions between these two types of people in the countryside. The woman walking with her head up is very proud, her eyes are on the top of her head, and her momentum is very different. Moreover, due to their face to the loess all day long and their backs to the sky, as well as their reserved personality, most rural women are introverted and walk with their heads bowed, which is in great contrast to women with their heads up. Girls with heads up tend to be shrews, those who sit and roll on the ground, who are ruthless and unreasonable, and they are talking about them. A man who keeps his head down and thinks, there are thousands of things in his mind, thinking about it, afraid that others will hurt him and plot against him, and at the same time he is plotting against others. When others give him a green onion, he must consider whether there is a conspiracy in it, whether the other person becomes a devil again, and how can I prevent others from succeeding.

Colloquialisms have been around for hundreds of years in the countryside, and we need to remember the enormous impact that colloquialisms have had on our lives. However, with the development of the times, some proverbs do not match our lives, and we need to treat these proverbs from different angles. Do you think colloquialism should be abandoned? What do you think of colloquialisms?
