Why is “buy things” in Chinese spoken as maidongxi (buy east and west) , but not mainanbei (buy south and north)?
One theory (假说) says maidongxi has 【1】 to do with the five elements (要素): jin (metal), mu (wood), shui (water), huo (fire) and tu (earth). In Chinese culture, the four 【2】 have to do with these elements. East matches wood, west matches metal, south matches fire, and north matches water. If someone carries nan (south) and bei (north) in a basket, it means to 【3】 water and fire, which is not even possible. But if one puts dong (east) and xi (west) in one’s basket, of course they can carry metal and wood.
There are also more common explanations.
One says that in the Tang Dynasty (唐代), there 【4】 two popular markets in Chang’an, the capital of China at that time. One was called the East Market, and the 【5】was called the West Market. When shopping, people usually went to the East Market 【6】, and then went to the West Market. As time went 【7】, people started to describe shopping as “buying east and west.”
The last theory is about China’s trading history. Around the 15th 【8】, China began trading with the world, and most of its foreign goods (货物) happened to come from the east (Japan) and west (Arabia). Markets 【9】 “things from the east and the west”. It was short for “east and west” 【10】.
Which theory do you prefer?

21、Handshakes, kisses, hugging…people all over the world greet each other in different ways. Because of the outbreak of COVID-19, people are changing how they greet each other to stop the virus from spreading(传播). They have come up with some good ways to say hello.
France
French people love to kiss on the cheek, even between people who have only just met. As kissing and handshaking may spread the virus, a French expert says simply looking into a person’s eyes is good enough as a greeting.
Australia
Holding your hand out to shake hands is popular in Australia. However, it’s risky at this time. People said they could pat(轻拍) each other on the back.
Iran
In Iran, a video has gone viral(在网上快速传播的) online. It shows three friends meeting, hands in their pockets, and two of them hitting their feet lightly against each other as a greeting. It seems to be a good way to replace their traditional greetings — handshaking and hugging.

A nose-to-nose greeting is popular in the United Arab Emirates(阿拉伯联合酋长国). People there rub (摩擦) their noses together upon meeting or leaving each other’s company.
