ELSEWHERE in the developing world, towns grow before the
infrastructure is quite ready to support them. Things are different in
Shenzhen, China’s original Special Economic Zone (SEZ), a stone’s throw
from Hong Kong.
The subway station at Qianhai bay, on the city’s west coast, is spick
and span, with a full complement of signs, announcements and
billboards, including one for a performance by the BBC National
Orchestra of Wales, sponsored by Classy Kiss milk. But only one exit is
open. And it surfaces in the middle of a wasteland of dirt, scrub and
puddles. It is, surely, the best connected nowhere anywhere.

Spick and span
Meaning
Entirely new - fresh or unused.
Origin
The noun spick has various meanings, or rather it had various meanings, as it is now rarely used outside of spick and span. These include: a side of bacon, a floret of lavender, a nail or spike, a thatching spar.
Likewise span has/had several meanings,
including: the distance from the tip of the thumb to the tip of the
little finger, a measure of butter, a fetter or chain, a chip of wood
(as the Norse word spann-nyr).
Just from those meanings, and there are more, we could generate sixteen possible combinations to form spick and span.
It isn't clear which, if any, of those words were used when coining the
phrase. Some clue might come from the fact that the phrase is very old
and was originally spick and span-new. This is cited in Sir Thomas North's translation of Plutarch's Lives of the noble Grecians and Romanes, 1579:
"They were all in goodly gilt armours, and brave purple cassocks apon them, spicke, and spanne newe."
The alliteration in the phrase suggests the
possibility that that one of the two words alluded to cleanliness and
freshness and that the other just followed along. Which one is most
associated with the qualities of spick and span? The
suggestions most frequently made are that spick is a variant of spike or
nail. In the 16th century nails were made of iron and soon tarnished.
It is quite plausible that new nails would have become synonymous with
cleanliness. We have the phrase as neat as a new pin, which has
just that meaning. The old Dutch word spikspeldernieuw refers to newly
made ships. The OED suggests that this is the origin of spick, although
they offer no reason for that belief and none of the early citations of
the phrase refer to shipping. As for span, chips of wood also display
the same fresh, sharp-edged qualities and seem to be a plausible source
for the use of the word here.
Note: the word spoon, which was originally a
wooden item, derives from spon - a variant of span. It has been
suggested that the early American term for a knife and fork was spike and spon
and that this relates to keeping clean by using utensils rather than
fingers. That takes no account of the use of the phrase prior to the
colonization of America by English-speaking people though.
Spicke, and spanne newe later migrated into simply spick and span which is first found in Samuel Pepys' Diary, 1665:
"My Lady Batten walking through the dirty lane with new spicke and span white shoes."
All in all, the derivation of the term isn't
clear and our best efforts to explain it so far are little more than
informed guesses.
Many American readers will know
Spic and Span
as the cleaning product marketed by Prestige Brands Inc. This has the
strapline 'The Complete Home Cleaner', so, next time you want to clean a
complete home you know what to use.
The use of spic in that product name is just an
alternative spelling of spick. This has no connection to spic as used
for the offensive term for Spanish-speaking American residents, also
called spiggoties or spigs. That term originated in the early
20th-century and is cited in Harry Franck's Zone Policeman, 1913:
"It was my first entrance into the land of the
panameños, technically known on the Zone as 'Spigoties', and
familiarly, with a tinge of despite, as 'Spigs'."

The
Chinese sexagenary cycle (
Chinese:
六十花甲;
pinyin:
liùshí huājiǎ), also known as the
Stems-and-Branches (
Chinese:
干支;
pinyin:
gānzhī), is a cycle of sixty terms used for recording days or years.
[1] It appears, as a means of recording days, in the first Chinese written texts, the
Shang dynasty oracle bones from the late second millennium BC. Its use to record years began around the middle of the 3rd century B.C.
[2]
The cycle, and variations on it, have been an important part of
historical calendrical systems in other, Chinese-influenced Asian
states, notably those of Japan, Korea and Vietnam. This traditional
method of numbering days and years no longer has any significant role in
modern Chinese time keeping or the official calendar. However, the
sexagenary cycle continues to have a role in contemporary
Chinese astrology and
fortune telling.
