Although the year is similar to the flowers, but the lunar year of the dragon is indeed a little different, the blessings of this year will come more violently, people's good wishes on the dragon are almost inexhaustible, compared to the Year of the Pig, you can see the gap, after all, as auspicious, and directly related to the royal extravagance, it is difficult not to love.
Do dragons really exist? It has been said that if the parrot is extinct and there is no record of it, how can future people believe that there is a bird that can speak to man? Therefore, the existence of those strange beasts and even dragons in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" should not be completely denied.
Even if dragons did exist, did the beautiful meanings associated with them also exist? This is even more inadequate. This is like the relationship between reality and metaphysics, reality can often be recognized, and metaphysical things can never be verified, can only be questioned or believed.
But reality and metaphysics are not always so separated. Before Copernicus, everyone had constructed a circle of universes centered on the earth in their minds, with the sun and stars covered in layers. At that time, people were not completely backward enough to find clues, and many stargazing data could not prove this metaphysical hypothesis.
And the heliocentrism of the so-called Copernican revolution has made a 180-degree turn in that concept. Copernicus not only postulated that the sun was the center of rotation, but also explained a lot of stargazing data through the rotation of the earth and the offset of the axis of rotation.
In many cases, scientific discoveries do not lie in the observation of the world, but more in the radical transformation of concepts. Like Thomas Kuhn's paradigm shift in The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. In many cases, more understanding of reality does not automatically upgrade our cognition, and a new paradigm needs to be constructed at a certain node, a certain person or some people at the metaphysical level, and the upgrading of cognition can come naturally.
Moreover, there are many things in this world that are not made of reality. If you ask whether the dragon exists in a wider range, then it can be said to be exact, it exists in the imagination of hundreds of millions of Yanhuang bloodlines, in their beliefs, and it does not just stay in the imagination, the totemic concept triggered by the concept of the dragon has had a huge impact on reality, and this festive doubling state of the New Year of the Dragon is the best proof.
In fact, the things that we think of as definite, such as the country, society, and even the Spring Festival, are just like dragons, because of the common things in the beliefs of the people who gather together. People exist in this world, know this world, change this world, and even create a new world.
Such a miraculous ability is due to human imagination, and the most valuable part of imagination for human beings is the imagination of the future. Although there are many interpretations of the distinction between humans and animals, such as whether they can use tools, whether they can speak, etc., what really makes people stand out from the animal kingdom may be the ability to imagine and construct the future.
Foreseeing the future is an ability that everyone wants to have, and it is also the greatest imagination of human imagination. From ancient times to the present day, all those who have made a difference have been recognized as prophets. The telling of the foresight became a prophecy that circulated among the crowd, and although it is still impossible to confirm that anyone has the ability to do so, the general public still rushes to the prophecy.
The rarity of prophecy is not available to man. The second best thing is an ability that everyone can have—anticipation. It is with this ability that we can judge the direction of the beast from the fishy face carried by the wind; From the sticky humid air, smell the arrival of a rainstorm. The ability to make good use of anticipation is the most important thing for people to stand out in the crowd.
On the basis of the present existential causes and the causes that can be created, a series of causal networks are constructed, and finally a possible future is constructed in the mind. The more precise this mind is about the future, the better our ability to make use of the present, and unfortunately, this precious precision can only be attained through constant honing and experience.
As a result, most people transform this ability into something more operational and effortless, combined with an expectation of a better future, and it becomes a wish that can come out of your mouth now, wishing you how it is, nothing more than effortless and irresponsible expectations for the future, but this expectation, just like the dragon, has been combined with the dragon even this year, and has become auspicious, or rather, hope.
Hope, maybe the most beautiful thing in the world, may also be the most ethereal thing, but it doesn't matter, no matter standing on the threshold of any time, when looking at the future, we all need a kind of courage, a kind of so that the rest of the life is no longer boring, so that the belief is not disappointed, so that the wish has a pathway, so that the good can happen, so that life can gain the meaning of self-recognition.
It's like a dragon soaring in the world.
