The origin of riddles remains a mystery as they existed even before histories were written. The ‘riddle culture’ or the ‘art of riddling’ was a major part of the street entertainment during the middle ages. The travellers paid to listen to fine riddles from the street artists. In Greek mythology, riddles drew up an essential part of literature. The contemporary riddle culture includes sophisticated puzzles for both children and adults. The human mind doesn’t rest without discovering answers to these enigmas and conundra (two types of riddles).

谜语的起源到现在还是个谜,因为在有历史记载以前就有谜语了。在中世纪,“谜语文化”或者 “谜语艺术”曾经是主要的街头娱乐。旅行者会给街头艺术家付钱,让他们给自己出些巧妙的谜语。在希腊神话中,谜语是文学不可或缺的一部分。现代的谜语文化中也有老少皆宜的精妙谜题。如果没有找到这些“可解之谜”和“不可解之谜”(这是两种谜语的类型)的答案,人类的大脑是不会休息的。

Such is the power of riddles; such is the power of metaphors.

这就是谜语的力量,这就是比喻的力量。
