「飛黃騰達」這個成語也有祝福別人取得輝煌成就的意思,不過這個成語的來頭並不簡單,首先不妨將這個成語拆解開來一一分析。
「飛黃」與「騰達」這兩個詞剛好一個是主語一個是謂語,二者構成了主謂結構。「騰達」這個謂語動詞很好理解,代表一種騰空起飛、直達天際的意思,寓意著向上、進取。
相對來說「飛黃」這個詞,就比較晦澀難懂了,日常交際中好像很少見到這個詞被單獨使用。
其實「飛黃」源自上古時期,它本是神話傳說中的一種奇怪的野獸,這種野獸長得和馬一樣,被稱為「乘黃」,但因為這種馬會飛,所以又被稱為「飛黃」。
《山海經·海外西經》中有雲,「有乘黃,其狀如狐,其背上有角,乘之壽二千歲。」可見這種神馬的長相與一般的馬並不一樣,而是與狐狸相近,說明長得比較漂亮,不過這種馬的背上長了角,而且會飛,如果能騎上這種馬就能擁有兩千歲的長壽。
古代神話中有一種龍馬與「飛黃」的描述相近,它曾出現在了黃帝花園中,後來黃帝便成為了華夏部落的首領。
值得一提的是,西方的古老神話中也有類似的神馬,不過他們將其稱為「獨角獸」,這種馬的頭上有一隻角,而且會飛,是吉祥的象徵,由此不由得讓人猜測,或許上古時期「飛黃」這種生物真的存在。
雖然「飛黃」源自上古時期,但「飛黃騰達」這個成語最開始興起於唐代,源自著名文學家韓愈的一篇勸學文章。
韓愈曾在《符讀書城南》中寫道,「兩家各生子,提孩巧相如......三十骨骼成,乃一龍一豬,飛黃騰踏去,不能顧蟾蜍。」,意思是童年時候相仿的兩個孩子,一個肯讀書、求上進,另一個不好好讀書,後來讀書的那個騎著飛黃騰踏而去,而另一個則像癩蛤蟆一樣。
韓愈用「飛黃騰踏」這個成語表達瞭望子成龍的殷切期望,希望孩子能好好讀書,做一個出色的人。
後來他的兒子果然考中了進士,雖然名氣沒有韓愈那麼大,但也做了幾十年的官。所以後人常用「飛黃騰踏」來祝福別人升官發財,經過數百年的演變,後來逐漸變成了「飛黃騰達」這個成語,一直被沿用至今。
譯文:Analysis of the origin of the original intention and connotation of flying yellow
"Apprentice" this idiom also has the meaning of blessing others to achieve brilliant achievements, but the origin of this idiom is not simple, first of all may wish to break down this idiom to analyze one by one.
"Feihuang" and "Tengda" are just two words, one is the subject and the other is the predicate, which form the subject-predicate structure. The predicate verb "Tengda" is very easy to understand, representing a kind of take-off, straight to the sky meaning, meaning upward, enterprising.
Relatively speaking, the word "flying yellow" is more obscure and seems to be rarely used alone in daily communication.
In fact, "flying yellow" originated in ancient times, it was a strange beast in myths and legends, this beast looks like a horse, is called "riding yellow", but because this horse can fly, so it is also called "flying yellow".
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas · Overseas Western Classic" has a cloud, "there is a yellow, its shape like a fox, its back has horns, by the life of two thousand years old. Can see this kind of what looks and the general horse is not the same, but close to the fox, that is more beautiful, but this kind of horse long horn on the back, and will fly, if you can ride this kind of horse can have a long life of two thousand years.
In ancient mythology, a dragon horse similar to "flying yellow" appeared in the garden of the Yellow Emperor, who later became the leader of the Huaxia tribe.
It is worth mentioning that there is something similar in the ancient mythology of the West, but they call it a "unicorn", a horse with a horn on its head and the ability to fly, which is a symbol of good luck, which makes people speculate that perhaps the ancient "flying yellow" creature really existed.
Although "flying yellow" dates back to ancient times, the idiom "Apprentice Apprentice" first appeared in the Tang Dynasty, from a famous writer Han Yu's essay urging him to study.
Han Yu once wrote in "Fu read south", "two children, children Qiao phase such as...... Thirty skeletons, like a dragon and a pig, fly away, not toads." One is willing to study and strive for progress, the other does not study hard, and then the one who reads books rides away on horseback, while the other is like a toad.
Han Yu used this idiom to express his ardent hope that his child could become a good student and become an outstanding person.
Later, his son did pass the imperial examination, and although he was not as famous as Han Yu, he also served as an official for decades. So later generations often use "fly leisure is stepping to bless others promoting to a higher position, after hundreds of years of evolution, then gradually into the idiom" the apprentice ", has been in use today.
