Every year, the expectations in my heart become apparent. Probably because China has been an agricultural country since ancient times, life is based on spring ploughing and autumn harvest as a year, which is a round of consistency. The year is both the end of the previous round and the beginning of the next round. In this way, the psychology of the year is naturally filled with the expectation of going beyond last year and yearning for a better life.
Isn't the snow on the earth also buried with green dreams?
What do people want for the new year? Look at the auspicious pattern of the New Year, listen to the auspicious words of the New Year, it is clear and clear: harvest, successful fortune, promotion, longevity, prosperity... People call all this a blessing. Blessing is a good thing, a good thing, a good thing, a success, a blessing, that is, a blessing that hopes that this good thing will come unexpectedly, and then it will come, and it will come from the source...
Therefore, the psychology of blessing is naturally fiery, urgent, romantic, and rhapsodical. Fill the momentary desire with exaggerated and inflated yearning, that is, the common "daily jin doujin", "golden ten thousand", "meet and get rich", "three levels in a row", and so on. It can be said that mixing reality with expectations is the charm of the year.

Man's aspirations are always based on the existing situation. With money, hope is richer; with status, hope is constantly promoted. Therefore, this kind of bold words such as "Nijin Doujin" has come from the big names of money in the city since ancient times. In the folk, the blessings of the people are closer to life itself, rational and pragmatic. They know that life will not be popular, and there is no luxury of changing dragons and phoenixes. Therefore, in addition to hoping for a prosperous life, what is sought is a non-material word: peace.
For thousands of years, they have burned incense for Guan Gong, Mazu, Guanyin, Vulcan, Medicine King, and even The Lady of Vision, the Five Immortals, etc., all for a peace? You may say that at that time, science was backward, the people were ignorant, and they did not know the reason for everything, so they prayed to the gods. However, natural and man-made disasters, incurable diseases, in today's scientific development, are not the same happening all the time and everywhere? Once the accident occurs, the soaring fantasies of life suddenly dissipate, and money becomes useless. So the expectations of life are solidly returned to reality. Peace is the first happiness in life; it is also the most practical and basic place for all good things in the world.

In ancient times, the people could not read words, and the expression of mood and the spread of culture relied on language and images. Chinese is both clever and funny, and is best at adding emotion to his life; he often uses the harmonic sounds of words in the language to borrow images to express his meaning. The "bottle" of the bottle and the "ping" of peace are harmonious, and they can easily trigger associations with Buddhist vases and Taoist manna bottles, which are used to sign peace and auspiciousness. A variety of gorgeous bottles appear in the pattern of the year. The bottle with firecrackers is "bamboo newspaper peace"; with ruyi, it is "peace and ruyi"; with flowers in all seasons, it is "peace in all seasons"; with various things, it is "peace in the years".

Because the storms and misfortunes are unpredictable, peace is not in anyone's grasp, the threat of fate is hidden in the depths of the soul, and the prayer for peace comes deeply and sincerely. If there is no peace, what blessing is there? If there is peace, what do you want in life? Chinese, who had been breeding for 5,000 years, realized the true meaning of life, and said a meaningful sentence: Peace is a blessing!
In this way, every year deeper, looking forward to the future, no matter how colorful and brilliant the Ji language is in the mouth, but in the depths of my heart, I hope to turn the evil into a good luck, eliminate disasters and diseases, and turn danger into safety; to myself and to others, I deeply say a word: Forever peaceful!
