Source Tang Feng Zhi "Vincent Miscellany" Volume: "do not meet the following to be the cold shoulder." Example once seen, the second to go, who knows repeatedly suffered ~. (Goyang "Qing Unofficial History" on the books) Cold shoulder As we all know, "cold" means refuse passengers, but "behind closed doors" and why "soup" link together? The original, "cold shoulder" phrase first appeared Zhi Feng Tang Dynasty "Vincent Miscellany" cited "often new record," the words:. "History phoenix, Xuancheng prostitutes also courteous to arithmetic ...... these do not meet, to be when the cold shoulder. "courtesan this reluctance reception under surnamed Shi waiting for passengers, with regard to soup to the table of rates declined. Guests see the hint soup that automatically retire. The so-called soup, meat means initially, and later as a soup with vegetables, boiled and then later on where to begin with soup has termed gravy food, such as white fungus soup, water snake soup, bird's nest soup and so on.

Cold shoulder Sometimes, people to do one thing, you need a friend to help, if they do not stand or refusal to meet such a situation, you will often hear the callers said with a smile: "!

Why is it difficult to see her? Parlor because she has an unwritten rule: She first asked the guests presented a poem, after she saw poetry, and was willing to see the guests, and then be possible to talk about friends. If guests do not write poetry or prose not offer her fancy, she called the family at the door with a bowl of soup to another, politely declined parlor. Over time, met with visiting guests soup, will take the hint, then take the initiative to say good-bye. Refused to meet with soup is the meaning of hospitality, so people put this soup, called Su Shi's "cold." After the story handed down, people put "cold" as a synonym for rejection, just take "closed," meaning no soup entertain friends. _Select_ed from: "Chinese folk anecdotes featured"
