宇宙万物,大千世界,皆可用金、木、水、火、土来概括。虽然人们把“土”字顺置于后,但金、木、水、火均与“土”相连,所以威廉·配第说:“土地是财富之母”。因为老百姓离不开土地。 然而,一旦“土”字与某种基层政权一结合,就可以衍生出一个个骑在老百姓头上作威作福的“土皇帝”和一个个横行乡里、欺压百姓的“土霸王”。 All things in the universe, the world, are available gold, wood, water, fire, earth to sum up. Although people placed the word “earth” behind them, but gold, wood, water and fire were all connected with “soil”, so did William Fitti: “The land is the mother of wealth.” Because people can not do without land. However, once the word “soil” is combined with a certain grassroots regime, one can create “earth emperor” riding on the heads of ordinary people and one “earthmaster” who oppress the people in a horizontal village.
