Cultural background of professional fart people

Zaks has revealed in the book Alternative History of Western Civilization that by the Renaissance, the left and right wings had a life-and-death struggle around the two routes of "no farting" and "advocating farting", and reached a compromise in the relevant chapter of the book Children's Etiquette published by Erastus 1530: "Farting quietly is a virtue"! -"Although people should be polite, it is not worth getting sick for. Hug yourself if you can. But if you really can't hold back, you have to cough loudly to cover up your fart. The etiquette of farting can be traced back a long time. In the past few centuries, there have been many professional farters in Japan. They are called misemono. The head of the shogunate of the professional fart man is Kirifuri HANA Saki Otoko-"Fog falls and flowers bloom"-1774. He performed at Ryuko Bridge in Edo (today's Tokyo), imitating drums, scales, firecrackers, barking dogs and crowing cocks with his fart. His main project is to simulate the sound of water mill with fart while doing cartwheels. In addition, it is also reported that a modern Misemono appeared in the early 1980s. He performed a fart program with the band in the afternoon TV program, and then shot burning darts with an arrow barrel stuck in his ass.

The etiquette of farting can be traced back to a handbook in China in the 6th century BC, which says it is forbidden to fart while eating. As early as the sixth century BC in India, a priest announced that people who serve the king "have to say rude things" ... fart and don't laugh. "

In ancient Rome, this problem became more dramatic. There is a rumor that a Roman tried to hold his breath at a long banquet and almost suffocated. When King Claudius heard about this incident, he decided to issue a decree that "farting between meals is regarded as a legal act-whether it is whispering or farting loudly", which is what Suvidonia, a historian who likes gossip, said.

Medieval doctors proved that holding fart was harmful to health, and his knowledge obviously brought comfort to many people. However, it was not until the Renaissance that an influential etiquette book officially kicked the door of dining etiquette, claiming that it was okay to fart in an emergency.

In the novel Land by Zola, a naturalist in the middle and late19th century, there are many fragments about the life of French farmers in the19th century, in which it is written that when they meet together, some people are rude and brag shamelessly.

Compared with the romantic west, cautious orientals always seem to be forbidden to fart. According to the Buddhist Maha Monk Law, monks walk with businessmen, and when they hold their breath, they should go down by the way, and don't smoke people with the wind. The book also said: "If * * * Jia Ke is on the right track, he will definitely not get angry in front. If you are angry, you can't be a ninja. Let it go with the wind. " Investigate the reason. When Mr. Sakyamuni became a Buddha, two businessmen were the first to offer meals. His old man warned his disciples that they must give preferential treatment to businessmen. I don't want to be so respectful as to shit and fart in the wind, and I don't want to send bad smell to the businessman's nose. They also solemnly wrote these rules into Buddhist scriptures, and future monks must abide by them.

The Japanese are also very interesting. From their literary works and folk stories, we can see their attitude and aesthetics towards farting. Ibara hee and the lecherous man part 7 "Right now" ("convenience" means shit, and "out of virtual respect" means fart. ) Write about the situation when Sesuke took a boat through Shinmachi and stayed in a prostitute's shop: the prostitute seemed to be still sleeping and didn't say goodbye to Sesuke. In order to dispel drowsiness, the world intermediary kept his hand on the cigarette bag and sat under the lamp and smoked seven or eight bags of cigarettes continuously. At this time, the prostitute's ass emerged from the quilt. The world interface feels funny. In the blink of an eye, she put two earth-shattering farts, and the world interface immediately put a hot tobacco pot on her ass. She did this when she knew that the guests had not left, which showed that it was not elegant enough.

It can be seen from here that it is very unsightly for prostitutes to fart in front of guests in Japanese brothels. In fact, not only that, it is often considered a very impolite thing to point your ass at others. We can see this from the fourth chapter of Natsume Soseki's I am a cat:

The hostess pointed her ass at her husband ... Oh, she is a rude woman. There's nothing unusual about it. The rules are irregular, depending on who explains them, how can they be justified. The host doesn't mind putting his chin on his hand, close to his wife's ass, and the wife doesn't mind standing on her husband's grave ass. But, what rules and regulations! ..... In fact, in order to dry her hair, she came to the eaves gallery with a tweed cushion and sewing box and respectfully pointed her ass at her husband. No, maybe the husband touched his wife's expensive buttocks and closed his face on his own initiative.

In fact, I think one of the reasons why people hate farting so much is that it comes from the same place as feces. So even the ass is involved, and the ass can't be pointed at people. When the ancient ministers went out of the hall, they all had to face north. How can they stick their hips on the noble emperor?

Now let's look at Japanese folk stories. I found a story "Fart Smells Ears" in Iwate area in the Collection of Japanese Folk Tales edited by Nishimoto Keisuke, to the effect that an old man and a young monk went to the field to cut ears of grain, and the young monk was too troublesome to cut only the big ones and left the small ones behind. The old monk asked him what was going on, and the young monk lied to him and said, "This kind of small ear is called fart smelly ear, which stinks and can't be eaten." Lao He still doesn't believe me. Let him try cooking. When the young monk was at his wit's end, a good idea suddenly occurred to him. Open the lid and put a fart in it. When the old monk came to eat, it really stinks to lift the lid. From now on, we don't want small ears anymore.

Jason Kanin, the director and playwright, once marveled in his autobiography 1974, and it was a great honor to be with john barrymore. As we all know, John Barrymore is one of the most outstanding artists in America, and the famous Drew Barrymore is his granddaughter.

1939, Kanin directed his own film "Vote for a Great Man", and he was deeply impressed by the old actor's tears. According to the needs of the plot, a huge tear rolled out of the old Barrymore's eyes, and a few seconds later, a small salty tear flowed out of the other eye. After the filming, Barrymore told Kanin, "It takes skill, just like someone will blush or move their ears at any time ... but it's not acting, it's really crying. But this is meaningless. " Later, Barrymore added it, and Kanin also wrote in the book:

"You know, some people can fart at will," he said uneasily. "I never learned how to do it. I am so disappointed in myself. " At this point, he burst out laughing: "Have you heard of Padman? Famous French hotel actor. His performance is bullshit. He is really a genius. I saw his performance when I was young. He has been performing on the stage, performing different types of farts. I remember at the end of the performance, he played a Marseillaise. How could I forget? But what I want to say is, I don't call this a performance. What do you think? "

Also performing farting, in the past few centuries, there have been many professional farters in Japan, and people call them misemono. The head of the shogunate of the professional fart man is Kirifuri HANA Saki Otoko-"Fog falls and flowers bloom"-1774. He performed at Ryuko Bridge in Edo (today's Tokyo), imitating drums, scales, firecrackers, barking dogs and crowing cocks with his fart. His main project is to simulate the sound of water mill with fart while doing cartwheels. In addition, it is also reported that a modern Misemono appeared in the early 1980s. He performed a fart program with the band in the afternoon TV program, and then shot burning darts with an arrow barrel stuck in his ass.
