Interpretation of the rural proverb "The cemetery is sparsely populated after the grass grows, and the cobwebs in the house are powerless".
Preface: Rural proverbs have a long history and contain rich philosophical ideas and wisdom of life. "There are weeds growing in the tomb, there is no successor, there is spider silk in the house, and the owner is incompetent", this paragraph sounds very simple, but it contains profound human morality. Through the two symbolic images of the tomb and the house, we can get a glimpse of the reasons for the rise and decline of the rural family, and reflect the important values of family, filial piety, and responsibility in the rural society. Below, we'll dig a little bit more into the meaning and implications of this statement.
The grave is weeded, and no one comes.
Life in the country is so good. Every year, during traditional festivals, such as Qingming, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Chongyang Festival, people from all over the village will go to the ancestral cemetery to burn incense. Ancestral shrine is the resting place of the ancestors, and it carries the reverence and remembrance of the ancestors of the descendants. However, if the tomb is full of weeds and miscellaneous trees, it is not only a blasphemy against the ancestors, but also a symbol of the decline of the clan and the indifference of the descendants. No one will care about their ancestral graves anymore, and there will be no protection for this relationship, which means that the relationship between them and their families will become more and more distant and less frequent.
This passage speaks of the close relationship between man and his ancestors, man and the earth. Worshipping ancestors and guarding graves is not just a form, but a kind of spiritual sustenance and a sense of responsibility. The desolation of the cemetery makes us feel the cruelty of the years, but also makes us know how to cherish the present, remember our roots, and inherit our blood.
Expansion: Weeds grow in the tomb, and there is no successor, this is not a simple ritual, but also contains deep meanings such as family inheritance and respect for elders. Ancestral ancestors are a major genetic gene of a family, and only when the descendants remember the ancestral teachings and abide by filial piety, the cemetery will be rejuvenated and carry forward the excellent family style. Overgrown with weeds and trees, this is not only a blasphemy against ancestors, but also a contempt for clan culture. Therefore, maintaining the cleanliness and solemnity of the ancestral tombs is not only related to the incense of the clan, but also to the continuation of the family's style and family motto.
In addition, the cemetery is overgrown with weeds and sparsely populated, which also reflects the disregard and indifference of contemporary society to traditional culture. In today's society, with the rapid development of society, more and more people have begun to pay attention to the satisfaction of material life, while ignoring the inheritance of traditional values, which has caused a weak sense of family and the estrangement of future generations. Only by returning to traditional culture and attaching importance to family affection can we eliminate the worry of "the grave is born in the wilderness and the descendants are scarce" and achieve the purpose of passing on the ancestry.
The silk in the room is weak.
Home is the destination of people's feelings and souls. But with the spread of cobwebs, laziness and negligence in the room, the house is no longer a warm home, but a sign of weakness and laziness. The cobwebs are the accumulation of years, the helplessness and helplessness of the owner, and the owner of the house who has no ability to clean the cobwebs often does not have the ability to clean the shortcomings and confusion of life.
The weakness of "home" not only reflects the chaos of the home, but also reflects the lack of heart and will of the owner. Once the family has a disability or lack of education, the family will gradually lose the order and vitality of life. Persons with disabilities are unable to take care of household chores due to their physical condition, and parents who do not attach importance to family counselling are unable to teach their children the right path. It can be seen that people with spider silk in the family are not only a microcosm of a family's quality of life, but also a manifestation of a family's psychological condition.
Expansion: The incompetence of the spider owner in the family is actually criticizing the duties of the family and the landlord. Home is not only a warm haven, but also the embodiment of the owner's sense of responsibility and responsibility for the family. When it is covered with cobwebs and dusty, it not only reflects the chaos of home life, but also reflects the mentality of the owner and the mentality of life. A family is like a miniature society, and if everyone in a family cannot fulfill their obligations to protect the family, then it will be difficult for the family to sustain.
In addition, there are a large number of spiders living in the home, which also reflects the understanding and respect of people in this era for the concept of family. The rapid development of modern urban life often neglects the maintenance and cultivation of family members, resulting in family alienation and communication. In order to get out of the dilemma of "cobwebs in the house", it is necessary to attach importance to family harmony in concept and behavior, cultivate a sense of responsibility and the concept of helping each other among family members, and create a warm family atmosphere.
The conclusion is that there is a saying in the countryside, "There are weeds in the tomb, there is no successor, there is spider silk in the house, and the owner is incompetent", which means that we should cherish traditional culture, inherit family affection, and maintain family harmony. The tomb and the house are not only the respect and obligation of the ancestors and the family, but also the symbol of stability and harmony between the family and the society. Only by adhering to filial piety, inheriting the family style, and building a "harmonious" family can the incense of the clan be continued and the harmonious development of the whole society can be promoted. There is a saying that "there is no successor in the grave and weeds, and there is a spider silk in the house", and we should take this as a warning to cherish the present, maintain family affection, protect family members, and create a better tomorrow.
