Buy wine to worship the father, the wife to the younger brother, and the man to the father
Sacrifice is an ancient traditional Chinese activity, which originated from the simple concept of symbiosis between heaven and earth of the ancients. Due to the underdevelopment of science and technology, the ancients could not explain some natural phenomena, so they developed a primitive belief, such as believing in the blessing of heaven and earth and the care of ancestors.
It is believed that sacrificing heaven and earth can enable people to achieve a spiritual state of communication between man and god and sympathy between upper and lower levels, and realize the harmonious coexistence of man, god, heaven and earth; Ancestor worship can be an expression of respect for ancestors, and at the same time, it is possible to be blessed by ancestors.
In ancient times, from kings to common people, various sacrifices were held, and the objects of sacrifice were generally the so-called "gods". In the eyes of modern people, "gods" are fictional, but in the past, people felt mysterious and fearful of nature and various phenomena, believing that heaven and earth, mountains and rocks, birds and animals were dominated by gods, so the concept of all things being spiritual.
People worship the gods and pray for blessings and disasters. The ancients believed that heaven, earth, and man were the three basic elements of the universe and should be revered.
Sacrificial activities are generally divided into worshipping gods, ancestors, and Confucius, but people more often sacrifice their ancestors. China has a tradition of chasing the distance cautiously, no matter what festival it is, it will "worship the ancestors", remember the ancestors, and inspire future generations.
There are many rituals to worship ancestors, such as offering incense, reading blessings, offering rice, serving tea, offering silk, offering wine, offering sacrifices, etc., as well as the ritual atmosphere of beating gongs and drums or accompaniment. With the changes of the times, the ritual activities have been simplified a lot, and it is believed that it is only necessary to express one's heart.
In the eyes of modern people, sacrifices should have characteristics, such as the deceased ancestors loved to eat fruits, so they used fruits as the "main sacrifice", those who liked to eat meat used meat as the "main sacrifice", and those who especially liked to drink wine used good wine as the "main sacrifice".
This is the story of Feng, his father liked to drink wine when he was alive, so he specially bought a bottle of Moutai to sacrifice his father during the Spring Festival, but he didn't expect the wine to disappear.
Feng's story is deeply moving, his father raised him alone in order to protect him from grievances. Feng was grateful, always thinking about repaying his father's nurturing kindness when he grew up.
However, his father died of illness four years ago, depriving him of a chance to repay the rewards. Feng's father liked to drink some small wine before his death, but he never drank good wine.
In order to commemorate his father, Feng bought a bottle of Moutai and prepared to use it during the Spring Festival to worship his father. However, this bottle of Moutai turned out to be missing in the cabinet. Feng was very surprised, because his family had never touched his things casually.
It turned out that Feng's wife didn't know the purpose of this bottle of Moutai and felt that it was useless, so she gave it to her younger brother. When Feng asked his wife, she told him the truth.
Feng said casually: "Then let your brother give it to my father!" However, his words made his wife feel unhappy, and she taught Feng a lesson with her fists. Feng's story sparked a heated discussion among netizens, and everyone said that we should cherish every moment with our parents and do our best to repay their nurturing kindness.
Many netizens expressed their opinions, and some questioned whether Feng intended to "curse" his wife and brother, thinking that people in their thirties should know how to speak more proportionately.
Some people also criticized Feng's wife for giving her brother an expensive bottle of Moutai wine without her husband's consent, thinking that she was not very good at living. All in all, these discussions have given rise to a wide range of discussions.
Lao Hu's view: Communication plays a vital role in interpersonal communication, and it is an effective means to establish connections and resolve misunderstandings. An etiquette expert points out that communication skills need to be mastered regardless of status.
A sociologist also believes that good communication can avoid conflicts and keep things running smoothly. Through this incident, we can see that Feng's wife has communication problems.
When an unknown item is found at home, you should find out its origin and purpose by asking, rather than dealing with it yourself without communication, which may cause unnecessary misunderstandings and conflicts.
Although the curse casually uttered by her husband may be inappropriate, if he would not be cursed for giving Moutai to his younger brother, how could he say such a thing? Do you think the importance of communication is self-evident?
