<< review queue entry 76133 - submitted by 'kbaiko' >> https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/84154412 In ancient times parents gave their baby boys jade ornaments (璋) to play with, while their baby girls got 瓦 (not roof tiles, used to refer to part of a spinning loom). 朱桢刚填饱肚子，张寻真便抱着襁褓出来，微笑道：“恭喜太子爷弄璋之喜。” “哈哈，多谢多谢。”太子满脸笑容，朝张寻真作揖连连，却顾不上看自家老三一眼，便兔子似的冲进了产房。 只见太子妃常氏静静躺在床上，虽然还没醒来，但呼吸均匀，神态安详，显然已经脱离危险了。 ---------------------------------- Editor: Dictionary definitions suggest it's something the *parents* do rather than something the mother does, and in your example, the 太子爷 has not himself given birth. Another ex. 孔子弄璋之喜，魯昭公贈送他鯉魚，孔子也跟得上時代，乾脆給兒子名為「鯉」。 |
