成语解释
名称：七十二行 拼音：qī shí èr háng
解释：泛指各行各业。
出处：陶行知《自动学校贺诗》：“有个学校真奇怪，小孩自动教小孩。七十二行皆先生，先生不在学如在。”
据《清波杂录》所载，我国唐代社会的主要行业为“三十六行”，即：肉肆、宫粉、成衣、玉石、珠宝、丝绸、纸、海味、鲜鱼、文房用具、茶、竹木、酒米、铁器、顾绣、针线、汤店、药肆、扎作、陶土、仵作、巫、驿传、棺木、皮革、故旧、酱料、柴、网罟、花纱、杂耍、彩奥、鼓乐、花果等。徐珂在《清稗类钞·农商类》中说：“三十六行者，种种职业也。就其分工而约计之，曰三十六行，倍则为七十二行，十之则为三百六十行。”由此可见，“七十二行”是一个虚指数，今天人们常说的七十二行或三百六十行，并非具体数字。事实上，社会行业的分工已远不止七十二行。 (摘自《万物由来选粹》)
