Sichuan dialect ｜ Zhang Wenhai: Paper twist (child)

Text/Zhang Wenhai

Most of modern people do not know what paper twist (child) is. It is an indispensable fire -ignition object in daily life. The functions are similar to lighters and foreign fires (matches). But it is lower than the lighter and the fire, but it is just a chopstick -like paper roll with yellow grass note. When not in use, a large handle is put into the hat tube. When you use it, you need to lit a piece of fire on the fire. It only burn it like a fragrant. When it blows it with the mouth, it will ignite the flames and use it as soon as possible.

When Babin's novel "Autumn" wrote when I chatted with his three dad Ke Ming, there was such a description: "Ke Ming buried his head, his eyes accidentally fell on the smoke bag and paper twist in his hand, and the paper twist was still smoking. He opened the cigarette barbar to find the tobacco silk to put it on, blew the paper twist, and snorted and pumped the water cigarette. "

Paper twist, the rural areas of Chengdu are called paper twist (child). In the past, there was a process of absorbing smoke: first pull out the smoke from the cigarette puppet in front of the cigarette bag to put the filament into the backbone behind, blow the paper twist (child) in the hand, lit the smoke, the curved cigarette mouth inhaled, the cigarette passes through the water at the bottom water The snoring and snoring filtration can enter the mouth, which can reduce the harm of nicotine. After sucking, draw out the cigarette fight, blow off the cigarette cama, and repeat the above program.

In supers a cigarette, it usually takes more than ten times to repeat the process. It is not as convenient and fast to use foreign fire (match) or a fire machine to order water cigarettes. Essence

At that time, the rural families cooking for fire and fire, and they also liked to twist (child). The economy was just one aspect. Although it was not expensive to use foreign fires, the fire was susceptible to moisture. At this time, take a paper twist (child) and attract fire species at the neighbor's house.

Paper twisted (child), some places are called paper coal, and some places are called paper media, which makes sense: paper and coal, because it has a coal burning function; paper media is because it is a medium of fire and firewood. The paper twist or paper twist (child) emphasizes the production process and shape, twist, which means rubbing, that is, the paper -shaped objects that are transformed by hand.
