Recently, the people-to-people relations between China and Germany seem to smell of gunpowder, and there have been a lot of scolding wars on the Internet, and the official agencies in China have even called us netizens "ignorant fools, shameless bastards", which makes everyone very worried that China and Germany, which have always had good relations, are about to break down. I have never been anxious about Sino-German relations and their future development, because the two nations have one thing in common, they both love pork.
In the ancient Chinese characters, the way of writing "home" is that there are pigs under the eaves, if there are no pigs at home, it must be a serious life, from a personal point of view, it is "second-rate, get by", from a national point of view, it is a "nomad", never want to be fixed in one place, wandering around.
In Germany, a harmonious and happy family is also related to pigs, German words, the writing of pigs is called schwein, there is a saying in Germany, Schwein Haben, literally translated, you have a pig. And the proverb in German folk means: the ancestral grave smokes, the whole family has good luck!This is to raise the status of the pig to the level of the future of the individual, the fate of the family, and even the future of the country.
A German scholar once came to China, and he put forward a point of view, why the four ancient civilizations mentioned in the book, until today, only China remains, this is all the credit of pigs!Before and after the Industrial Revolution, the whole of Europe was the same size as China, but the population of Europe was less than 100 million, and there were 400 million Chinese at the same time.
The reason why China always feeds more people than Europe is because of agricultural civilization, every family raises pigs, eats pork to ensure nutrition, and fried vegetables in lard improve intelligence, and people become very smart. But in ancient times, Europe was nomadic, it was impossible to run with pigs, at most take a little sheep away, anyway, hunting, get what to eat, lack of pork nourishment, the population has never been developed.
After the Germanic people settled in their current place of residence in Germany, they began to raise pigs, and later Germany became the world's largest country in terms of pork per capita, the most populous country in the European Union, and the most skilled country in the world for scientists, engineers, and craftsmen. So why do Germans suddenly like to eat pork?
This is related to a German missionary, his name is "Guo Shili", when he came to China, he often wrote articles under the pen name "Han Ai", but this person is controversial, not his own propaganda "Han Ai" image, he came to China in 1830 to preach, in order to survive, also sold opium, also worked as a spy. But he did two things that impressed, one was to translate Jewish names, and the other was to promote the benefits of eating pork.
Before him, there was no Jewish saying in the Chinese texts, and there were various translations, such as what the Yuan Dynasty called the Semu people, the Song Dynasty called the "Yi Ci Leye" people, and so on. Guo Shili is a Chinese character expert and has written and translated many books, but he hates people who believe in the "Old Testament" and wants to rename them, so he asks Chinese literati, "If there is a fat on the human body, what is the name of the Chinese?"The Chinese replied to him, called "Ju", and it was indeed written "Ju" in the oracle bone script and the gold script, and later the font was simplified and reformed, and it became "wart".
Guo Shili asked again, what is the name of the treacherous villain in Chinese characters?The cultural person replied to him, "The earliest statement is also called Judah, which comes from the Book of Songs." Lesser. In "Clever Words", this poem ridicules the king of Zhou for being confused by the villain's slanderous words, and finally caused trouble. The end of the poem goes like this: For Judah will be many, and the geometry of the Erju disciplesMeaning: You have so many tricks, I think how many of your accomplices are left?Later, an idiom was derived, called "too much", which means "a little clever to play too much, just to get the opposite effect".
Guo Shili slapped his thigh, I understand!He then translated all those who believed in the "Old Testament" as "Jews," which probably meant that they were treacherous and excessive, which meant that human beings were superfluous.
Guo Shili also has one thing that is also very interesting, that is, advocating eating pork, because he likes Chinese poetry, and learned that Su Dongpo, Xin Qiji and others are particularly fond of eating pork, and with the worship psychology of eating food with celebrities, he not only eats pork himself, but also writes German books, saying that the benefits of eating pork, and saying that the wisdom of Chinese comes from eating pork, and the books he wrote to the Germans include "A Brief History of China", "Open China", "Three Voyages along the Coast of China", and "China Report" and other books to introduce China's customs and various foods.
Guo Shili also wrote a "History of the Jewish State", saying that Jews do not eat pork, and have nothing to do with religion, and there is a conspiracy in it. In the past, they ate pork, but later due to the lack of water resources, pigs and people began to grab water resources, raising pigs was too wasteful of water, camels and cows, at that time were production tools, which could not be given up, limited resources, only left more important. In order to "keep the pig or keep the people", there were also fierce quarrels inside.
In addition, they have no fixed residence, and they run to ** if they have resources, and it is even more inconvenient to raise pigs, so the pigs that have been eaten for many years are finally abandoned by them. Over time, the pig was demonized and carried forward and inherited as a way of life that distinguished different religions.
This impact is very large, and it has become a religious "political correctness" because of the limited resources that had to abandon pigs, resulting in more than 2 billion people around the world not daring to eat pork. It's not that they don't want to eat it, but they are shackled in their minds by the teachings, and if you eat pork, you will be blamed by others, which may be regarded as a kind of "group violence", so a convention has been formed.
Nowadays, Germans can't do without pork for three meals a day, what lard is toxic in Germany does not exist, their favorite rice is "lard bibimbap", and they can eat three or four pig's trotters in one meal, this crazy way of eating pork makes many Chinese foodies bow down.
Why the German people are very independent thinkers, they think that eating more pork is wise. But the Chinese will wonder, "I don't think Chancellor Scholz looks very smart!"Scholz has repeatedly advocated that all Germans eat less meat in the Diet, and it is normal for ordinary Germans to think that he is a Jew and is not intelligent. There is a German proverb, "The clown is in the temple, the master is wandering, and the genius is in the folk".
The way to raise pigs in Germany is free-range in the mountains, and Germany has also launched detailed pig breeding guidelines, including pig farmers to ensure that they should spend one minute with each pig every day, pigs should have two or three wooden toys or straw dolls for entertainment, and each pig must shine in the sun to avoid depression, etc., and finally listen to ** and sauna before being slaughtered.
The way of raising pigs in Germany is still different from that of captive pigs and high-rise pigs in China, and it is possible that they think that free-range pigs are more intelligent. Some people think that pigs are stupid, but the Germans believe that "pigs are wise and foolish, they are innocent on the surface, but in fact wisdom is in the flesh." ”
Many people feel that the use of pork ingredients by Westerners is far less than that of China, which excludes Germany, in Germany, the pigs are not wasted, and the German team has even mutinied because of the lack of pork, which shows the importance of pork in the minds of the German people, who would rather rebel and eat pork.
The Germans looked down on the Americans, believing them to be "barbarians" and "evolved savages", probably because the Germans thought that Americans ate too little pork.
We should separate the German people from German politicians, there is no need to quarrel with the "German colonists", and we must safeguard the friendship between the Chinese and German people.
