粤语有段古 | 俚语背后的故事

死人灯笼——报大数

04 Nov 2019

Description

不论古今中外,在数字上造假都是人类的惯用伎俩。粤语里面对于数字造假,一般称之为“笃数”,意思是数字随便乱笃,除此之外,粤语里面还有一个歇后语也和数字造假有关,叫”死人灯笼——报大数“。这个歇后语源自于一个旧习俗,以前一家之中如果有老人去世,就会在大门前挂一对报丧的灯笼,用大黑字在上面标明姓氏,然后再以小字标明死者的终年岁数。一般来讲,这个岁数都会比死者的实际年龄要大,因为以前计算年龄,有所谓”天一岁,地一岁,人一岁“的说法,所以一般灯笼上标注的岁数会比死者实际年龄大三岁。于是,就有了这个“死人灯笼——报大数”的说法啦。
