2023年云南省曲靖市中考二模英语试题
三、阅读判断
The Chinese character fu is a necessity in Spring Festival celebrations. The tradition of pasting(粘贴) the character fu on walls and doors has been around for a long time. It’s recorded that people already practiced this tradition in the Song Dynasty.
There is a story about the origin(起源)of pasting the “reversed(颠倒)fu”. Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, once used the character fu as a secret signal to kill a family for insulting(侮辱)his wife, Empress Ma. To avoid the disaster(灾难), the kind-hearted Empress Ma ordered every family in the capital to paste the character fu in front of their doors before the sun rose the next day. Everyone followed her order, but one family pasted the character fu upside down, because they couldn’t read or write.
The next day, when the emperor ordered his soldiers to check, they found the character fu everywhere, including the upside-down one. The emperor was very angry and immediately ordered his palace guards to kill the family who had pasted the character fu differently.
Realizing the situation was not good, Empress Ma said to the emperor, “That family knew that you were coming to visit them today, so they pasted the character fu upside down on purpose. Doesn’t it have the same meaning as “fu arrives”?”
After hearing this, the emperor immediately set the family free. From then on, people began to paste the character fu upside down with the purpose of hoping for luck and honoring Empress Ma.
