I'm Jenny. I was moved by a story last summer. When I went to a friend's house as a guest，I found a wooden sign hung on the door. It reads，“Before entering，please put down your trouble. When returning，bring back your happiness. ”
After entering the house，I saw the wife and the husband were both harmonious(和睦的)，two children were friendly and polite and warmth filled the house.
I naturally asked them about the wooden sign. The wife looked at the husband with a smile，“You tell the story. ” The husband then looked back at the wife，“You say because it was your creativity. ”
Finally，the wife said softly and slowly，“Once when I got home，I was surprised to see a sleepy and tired face in the elevator(电梯)mirror，with the worried eyes.

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     46     to do with the five elements (要素): jin (metal), mu (wood), shui (water), huo (fire) and tu (earth). In Chinese culture, the four     47     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     48     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     49     two popular markets in Chang’an, the capital of China at that time. One was called the East Market, and the     50     was called the West Market. When shopping, people usually went to the East Market     51    , and then went to the West Market. As time went     52    , people started to describe shopping as buying east and west.

The last theory is about China’s trading history. Around the 15th     53    , China began trading with the world, and most of its foreign goods (货物) happened to come from the east (Japan) and west (Abrabia). Markets     54     “things from the east and the west”. It was short for “east and west”     55    .

Which theory do you prefer?
