盐与豉在古代是形影不离的,这两字常常连用:在汉代的《急就篇》上即有“芜荑盐豉”。说到这两者的关系之密切,可从《齐东野语》上看出:宋代有位从江西来的读书人,自认为什么都懂。一天,他要见诗人杨万里,杨万里得知他来自江西,便问他是否带来了“配盐幽菽”,有的话能否送一点。读书人不知“配盐幽菽”为何物,诗人拿过一本字书,翻至“豉”字,注释为“配盐幽菽”,“菽”是豆的古称,“幽”为密封之意,“配盐幽菽”即将豆子蒸熟,加盐等调料,放在密封的缸里,使其生霉,变成豆豉。 Salt and salt are inseparable in ancient times, these two words are often used in conjunction: in the Han Dynasty, “anxious articles” that is, “芜 荑 salt 豉.” When it comes to the close relationship between the two, we can see from the “Qi Dong Ye Language” that in the Song Dynasty there was a scholar from Jiangxi who knew everything. One day, he wanted to see the poet Yang Wanli. Yang Wanli learned that he was from Jiangxi and asked if he had brought “salt with salt” or not, and if so, could he send a little. The scholar I do not know why “with salt you”, the poet took a book, turned to the word “豉”, annotated as “with salt You 菽”, “菽” is the ancient name of beans, “You” is sealed meaning , “Salt with salt You” is about to steamed beans, salt and other spices, on the sealed cylinder, so that moldy, into bean curd.
