  Nowadays, the word "Haha" is used quite frequently in chatting, which means ridicule and can also express "disdain".

  Many people think that "Haha" is a hot word on the Internet that a modern person will use.

In fact, it is not.

Su Shi, a great writer who lived more than 900 years ago, used this word with ease.

According to comprehensive statistics, "hehe" appeared more than 40 times in his writings.

  For example, he wrote a letter to Chen Jichang, saying, "Sleep on a pillow without hindrance, and you can also get your ears. I have nothing to do with you, haha." Small words, even if they don't have the flavor of Liu Qilang, they are still a family. Haha."

  Another example, an article mentions that in "The Fourth of Seven Poems of Thinking with Grandson", "the paper scroll is removed, and there are two empty sheets of paper, which will be left to the end of the five hundred years later. Haha"; "Answer to Cheng Quanfu"; In Pushing Official Books, "My son has copied one of the "Books of Tang" and borrowed "The Former Han" to copy. If you read these two books, the poor will become rich. Haha."

  It can also be seen from these contents that when Su Shi used the word "hehe", many of them came from letters with friends.

These "hehe" reflect the cute and playful side of this great writer.

  For example, he would joke with Wen Yuke, "No, not only doodles everywhere, inscriptions and writings, but also 250 quatrains of quatrains. Haha."

  That is to say, if you Wen Yu won't paint for me, then don't blame me, Su Dongpo!

He would draw casually everywhere by himself, and finally write the names of the above and Ke.

Otherwise, I will file a complaint with Wen Yuke's promise to paint him, and ask for compensation by the way.

  However, Su Shi is not the first person in history to use the word "hehe".

  For example, the writer Ouyang Xiu's "With Mei Shengyu" once wrote: For other things, Gu is here for a few days, and I have seen what I have done.

How can the words "close the household" and "fullness" be taboo.

hehe.

  In addition, the poet Wei Zhuang said in "Bodhisattva Man: Persuading the King to Indulge Tonight", "When you meet wine and hehe, life can be counted!" Some people also say that in Mi Fu's famous "Ge Junde Chen Post", he has seen "hehehe" "Ink of the two characters.

  Some people have verified that in the "Book of Jin", there is an earlier record about "hehe", Shi Xuan "riding a plain car, from a thousand people, Lintao mourning, not crying, bluntly hehe, making a quilt look at the corpse, laughing loudly. go."

  An article published in Guangming Daily, ""Hehe" is originally a Buddhist language, mentioned that the original word "he" is "he", and its original meaning is not an onomatopoeic word for laughter.

In addition, in fact, "hehe" is a foreign word that entered the Middle Earth with Buddhism.

  The article mentioned that "Haha" clearly refers to laughter, and it first appeared in the "Maha Sangha Sutra" translated by Buddha Bhadra and Faxian in the Eastern Jin Dynasty: "If there is something ridiculous, don't get your teeth out of your gums. Laughter should be restrained and tolerated."

  In any case,

judging from Su Shi's use of "hehe", it actually shows his unrestrained and unrestrained character.
