Chinese civilization has a long history, after thousands of years of vicissitudes, from the beginning of its birth to today, through countless tribulations. Inheriting civilization is not an easy task, and the integration of life and thought is even more challenging.
As we all know, the spiritual world is the crystallization of the human mind and is deeply rooted in our minds.
If even the problem of food and clothing cannot be solved, then under such conditions, building a rich spiritual world is a utopian dream, not to mention that creating a civilized empire requires a lot of time and money, and even a safe living environment.
If these conditions are not met, even if you want to create a unique culture on a whim, it will be difficult to stick to it for a long time, because the problem of survival will face great challenges.
As a result, the Chinese civilization has experienced many difficulties and challenges. Although China's thousand-year-old civilization is insignificant compared to the history of the earth, for mankind, thousands of years of history is still an insurmountable chasm.
After several generations of efforts, the feudal society gradually transformed into a modern society. The Chinese civilization was once in danger under the threat of invasion by foreign powers, but fortunately, our ancestors defended this splendid national culture with their lives.
When we think of Chinese civilization, we immediately think of poetic culture, which is a symbol of ancient culture, although obscure, but it carries the deep emotions of the poet.
Parallel to the culture of poetry is the culture of colloquialisms, which are truly representative of easy to understand, whether it is an elderly person in his seventies or eighties or a three-year-old child, he can understand the meaning of the colloquialism.
Through the literal understanding, we can deeply dig out the deep meaning behind the colloquialism, which is also an important reason why the colloquial culture can prevail in feudal society.
For example, the saying "men are afraid of chickens, women are afraid of sheep" contains many hidden mysteries. As for whether the chicken sheep is really bad, it needs to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis, and this principle is applicable at all times.
In the feudal society, the reason why there was a strong atmosphere of superstition was because the social state at that time was an agrarian society, and people regarded the sky as supreme.
However, due to the underdevelopment of information technology, the information gap is very serious, which not only leads to a widening gap between the rich and the poor in society, but also makes the people get completely different information.
In the era of the supremacy of imperial power, ordinary people have almost no future, even if the family ** has a genius, he may not be able to improve the social status of the entire family, because this requires extremely high luck and probability.
For the majority of the population, farming is the only way to improve their living conditions. However, in ancient times, cultivation depended on the weather, and the inadmissibility of the weather made the ancients often sad.
In ancient times, without accurate weather technology, people could not predict whether the crops of the coming year would be bumper or not, which undoubtedly brought great uncertainty to life.
The pious prayers of the ancients were to pray for the crops to be protected from disasters, which reflects the many superstitious beliefs that existed in ancient societies. In fact, it is not a backwardness of ideas, but the failure of the social system to provide the population with the opportunity to learn new knowledge.
In addition, the level of productivity in the world was not high at that time. Therefore, it seems that there is only one way to go, prayer. Although the end of feudal ideology and superstition has long been doomed, the colloquial culture is still full of feudal flavor and has been passed down to this day.
Sayings are an important carrier of our cultural inheritance, they are the condensation of the life experience of our ancestors, whether it is a swallow flying low to rain, or other sayings, they are the wisdom that they have repeatedly verified in the wind and rain of life.
The accuracy and influence of these sayings are hard to shake even after millennia. Because, behind these sayings, there are countless failures and reflections of our ancestors, and their wisdom is like a lighthouse, illuminating our way forward.
The shackles of old ideas: the male rooster is considered to lack masculinity, and the female sheep are shackled. This prejudice hurts many people, but the fact is that individuals cannot change their date of birth and zodiac signs, and dwelling on these issues only exacerbates social conflicts.
Nevertheless, there is a reason why the ancestors paid attention to the issue of male and female physiognomy, because Rooster males tend to be frail and sickly and look less masculine.
The prejudiced impression of the ancients led to the fact that men who belonged to the rooster were often labeled as "toilers" because the chicken was an animal that represented hardship and hardship in their eyes. They expect men to be able to make achievements and show heroism, while people who "work hard" will not be able to feel grandiose enough.
As a result, rooster males were often considered insecure, while the ideal male occupation of the ancients was mostly between being an official and doing business.
Women are also troubled by the lack of a good sign, such as the sheep woman, who is often seen as a symbol of misery. However, few people know that this statement originated from the social atmosphere at the end of the Qing Dynasty.
Women at that time were often labelled with all sorts of derogatory stigmas, apparently to ruin the hard-working women. Although the original saying that "women are afraid of sheep" may have been only slightly biased, the meaning of this phrase changed at the end of the Qing Dynasty.
We often feel sorry for the living conditions of women, but modern people believe more in the power of destiny than fatalism. Not everyone is born with everything, and most people grow up with regrets, but in such an environment, we can understand more deeply the importance of fate and the power of faith.
Humans are the only creatures who can fight against fate, and although fate cannot give us superpowers, we can rely on our own strength to create a better future.
Times are changing, the concept of fate is gradually disappearing, and birth does not determine whether a person's future is high or low. A shining life should not be limited by birth or immutable characteristics, and this unfair way of judging people by their appearance should be abandoned.
Everyone has a desire to pursue a dazzling life, and no matter what the starting conditions are, they will want to achieve it through hard work, rather than being swayed by the outside world, doubting whether they should stick to it. "
Only by challenging yourself and stepping out of your comfort zone can you break the shackles of fate. If everyone is content with the status quo, the social climate will become pessimistic. Colloquial culture has helped us overcome many difficulties, but with the development of the times, some colloquialisms are no longer applicable and require us to think critically and pass them on.
