In our traditional culture, there is such a philosophical agricultural proverb: "People don't coax the land, the land doesn't coax the belly." This agricultural proverb simply expresses the relationship between man and land. Let's take a closer look at the meaning behind this agricultural proverb and what it brings to our lives.
As a farmer, it is estimated that everyone has experienced the "darkest moment", that is, the crop yield at home is reduced, or even the harvest is lost. Even with such advanced agricultural technology and abundant agricultural products, many farmers still experience a reduction in crop yields and fruit and vegetable yields. As for the reason, it can be learned through this agricultural proverb: "People do not coax the land, and the land does not coax the belly". What is the secret behind the reason for the failure of such farming?Let's talk about it together.
1. People don't coax the land: people are the key to planting good land.
Many people think that farming is a very simple thing, and that as long as they sow seeds in the field, they can reap a good harvest. However, the reality is that farming is far from being as simple as everyone thinks. Although our food is very cheap, it does not mean that farming is simple. So, farming is not simple, can be seen from the **?
In the countryside, everyone works under the sky, and the irrigation water is drawn from the same ditches. Even the seeds, pesticides, etc., that everyone buys, are exactly the same. However, even if they are all the same, there is a big difference in the amount of grain grown by different families. Actually, it has a lot to do with people.
Some farmers are very industrious and very attentive to the management of their crops in the fields. Whether it is between ploughing, the cultivated land should be deeply ploughed, or when the seedlings grow later, they often go to shallow hoeing to loosen the soil, all in order to give the crops a better growth environment. If a person is said to be before planting the crops, or after planting, he doesn't care. Well, it is estimated that it is unrealistic to hope that the crops will grow well.
Second, the ground does not coax the belly: the demand is mutual.
In real life, some people keep asking for it just for their own benefit. In this way, you will eventually encounter the last backlash. On this earth, our relationship with nature must be mutually beneficial in order to exist for a long time. If we just keep asking for it from the earth, in the end, nature will definitely not give human beings good fruit to eat.
At the same time, when we are planting, if we do not manage it well, improve our soil. Then, when you are counting on a good harvest of grain, the land will not give you what you want. For this reason, this sentence is telling us that if we want to eat well, we must manage the land well. Those who only know how to ask and do not know how to reciprocate will definitely fail in the end.
3. The significance of this agricultural proverb.
If we look at it only in a superficial sense, this agricultural proverb is to warn all our farmers that when planting land, we must first "fatten" our land. Only when the land is fertile can it be conducive to the growth of our crops and the possibility of achieving a bumper harvest.
If we look at it in a deep sense, this agricultural proverb also tells us the truth of being a human being. In life, we should not only be a person who only knows how to take, but also know how to be grateful. Looking at the aging parents, as children, you should know to support them and give them a happy old age.
In short, just a simple agricultural proverb can show the wisdom of the predecessors. For our descendants, such agricultural proverbs are worth passing on and learning.
