Funny souls are everywhere. Xiehouyu is a good proof. The hymns contain the great wisdom of the Chinese people-Chinese folk customs, anecdotes, the real atmosphere of the market, and dramatic and exaggerated dialogues. As soon as the "quote" comes out, the suspense rises sharply. After a slight pause, the "explanatory language" follows immediately, and the listener suddenly understands and laughs out loud. However, this kind of Chinese humor has gradually been forgotten by people and is far away from our daily life. Therefore, the author Granny Dian decided to draw the idioms she collected from the people over the years. Grandma Dian is like walking in the vegetable market with a vegetable basket on her arm, wandering in the market, listening to funny words, letting vivid images swirl in her mind, and then appear on the page. The protagonists on the paper are ordinary people. From the anecdotes of the ancient Chinese, to the witty sayings passed down by the older generation, to the daily life happening around us today... These are all the inspiration and materials of Granny Dian. Grandma Dian expresses these sayings in Chinese-style ink comics, supplemented by vivid text interpretations, making this book an interesting, down-to-earth, new theory of sayings suitable for all ages. She also hopes that it can continue to spread the treasures of Chinese language and Chinese folk humor.
