In Chinese we call catching a cold ganmao. What did ganmao mean at first? Ganmao came from a ___1___ story. During the Song Dynasty (960-1279), there was a national library. The library’s workers ___2___ take turns working at night. ___3___ they didn’t want to do this tiring work and often ___4___ that they had diarrhea (腹泻). They would write this reason in their registration book.
One worker named Chen Hu was sick of using this reason. He wanted to think of something
different and creative. He wrote ___5___ new reason in the registration book hit by the’ wind- -evil (风邪)”, or ganfeng in Chinese. The “wind-evil” was an idea that came from traditional Chinese medicine that meant some changes in your body when catching a cold, such as headache, running nose, and coughing. Chen wrote about this story in his book Qijiuxuwen. ___6___ workers in the library found Chen’s reason to be much ___7___ than “having diarrhea”, so ganfeng was used as a popular reason ___8___ hundreds of years until the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).
During the Qing Dynasty, the workers ___9___ even more creative. They changed ganfeng to ganmao. In Chinese, mao means to burst out (爆发).
