Example of a yojijukugo, a Japanese word consisting out of four kanji characters with a (non)-idiomic meaning.
Summary[edit]
| Description |
Nederlands: Deze yojijukugo bestaat uit de vier kanjikarakters 沈魚落雁 [ちんぎょらくがん; hepburn: chingyorakugan], het heeft een idiomatische betekenis, wat inhoudt dat de betekenis niet zonder nadere achtergrondkennis kan worden achterhaald. De karakters betekenen afzonderlijk: zinken, vis, vallen, wilde gans. Deze yojijukugo is afkomstig uit een bekende reden van de Chinese filosoof Zuang Zhou (4e eeuw voor de jaartelling) over de Vier Schoonheden van Klassiek China: Xi Shi, Wang Zhaojun, Diao Chan en Yang Guifei. Zhou schreef: "Wanneer vissen hen zien, zullen zij de diepte in zwemmen of zinken; wanneer vogels hen zien, zullen ze wegvliegen of neerstorten; wanneer herten hen zien, zullen ze weggalopperen in schaamte." 沈魚落雁 is synoniem geworden voor: een bijzonder mooie vrouw.
English: This yojijukugo consists of the four kanji characters 沈魚落雁 [ちんぎょらくがん; hepburn: chingyorakugan], it has an idiomatic meaning, meaning that the meaning cannot be determined without further background knowledge. The characters mean separately: sink, fish, fall, and wild goose. This yojijukugo comes from a well-known lecture by the Chinese philosopher Zuang Zhou (4th century BC) about the Four Beauties of Classical China: Xi Shi, Wang Zhaojun, Diao Chan and Yang Guifei. Zhou wrote, "When fish see them, they will swim into the depths or sink; when birds see them, they will fly away or crash; when deer see them, they will gallop away in shame." 沈魚落雁 has become synonymous with: a very beautiful woman. |
