Since ancient times, the Chinese nation's desire and pursuit of a happy life has been like the water of the Yangtze River, flowing eastward and never stopping.
In these long years, our ancestors have summed up many wisdom life experiences.
Among them, there is such an old saying: "Put three things under the pillow, attract wealth and blessing".
Although this sentence is short, it contains profound cultural connotations and people's ardent expectations for a better life.
So, what are the three things that can bring us wealth and blessings?
The first thing: books.
Books, known as the ladder of human progress, are both carriers of knowledge and sources of wisdom.
In the eyes of the older generation, books are the key to changing their fate.
They know that only through continuous learning and accumulation can they broaden their horizons and improve themselves, so as to grasp every opportunity in life.
Therefore, putting books under the pillow is not only a respect for knowledge, but also an infinite yearning and pursuit of a better life.
In the dead of night, opening a book, letting the light of wisdom illuminate the heart, and letting the mind swim in the ocean of knowledge is undoubtedly a kind of spiritual enjoyment and enrichment.
The second thing: jade.
Jade, with its warm texture and magnificent color, has been a symbol of auspiciousness, nobility and purity since ancient times.
In traditional Chinese culture, jade is endowed with the mysterious power of calming the house, warding off evil spirits, and keeping peace.
Placing jade under the pillow can not only make people feel the warmth and tranquility of jade in sleep, so as to achieve the effect of calming the nerves and helping them sleep;
At the same time, it also implies the expectation and pursuit of a better life.
The luster and texture of jade seem to tell stories about happiness and fulfillment one after another, making people feel the beauty and sweetness of life in their dreams.
The third thing: copper coins.
Copper coins, as ancient currency, are naturally closely linked to wealth.
The older generation put copper coins under their pillows, which means that they have a wide source of wealth and fortune.
They believe that copper coins can bring good luck and wealth, and make their families' lives richer and healthier.
Although copper coins are rarely used in modern society, this traditional custom has still been handed down and has become people's yearning and sustenance for a better life.
In the dead of night, the copper coins under the pillow seem to exude mystical power, bringing endless wealth and good luck to people.
Of course, we know that true happiness and wealth do not come from these things.
The reason why they can bring us good luck and blessings is more because of the cultural connotation they contain and people's good wishes.
In modern society, we should pay more attention to our own efforts and struggles, and use these objects as a symbol of motivation for ourselves.
Rather than hoping that they will bring us good luck for nothing.
In short, although the old saying "put three things under the pillow, attract wealth and get blessings" has a certain superstitious color, it reflects the Chinese nation's yearning and pursuit of a better life.
Whether it is books, jade or copper coins, they are an important part of the traditional culture of the Chinese nation.
Putting these items under the pillow is not only the inheritance and respect of traditional culture, but also the yearning and pursuit of a better life.
I hope that everyone can find their own happiness and satisfaction in their own lives, so that good luck will always be around.
