On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, it is the traditional day of "greeting the god of wealth", people burn incense candles and set off firecrackers, hoping that in the new year, evil spirits and disasters will be avoided, fortune will be prosperous, and wealth will be widespread.
Break five knots
On this day, also known as the "Breaking of the Five Festivals", after the fifth day of the first year, many traditional taboos can be broken. Because this day bears too many people's hopes and expectations, there are many taboos.
For example: to eat dumplings, can not use raw rice to cook, women can not visit the door, etc. But not many people are following these traditional rituals anymore.
City of Fari
The ancients had a poetry cloud: the five fortunes are recruited into the offering, and the opening of the market is rich in dust.
In Chinese folklore, the fifth day of the first lunar month is the birthday of the god of wealth. The god of wealth determines people's fortunes for a year, so from ancient times to the present, merchants have rushed to open the market on the fifth day of the first month of the first month, the purpose is to "make a profit market".
Gu Lu of the Qing Dynasty recorded in the "Record of Invitation to Jia", the fifth merchant of the first month of the first month of the fifth month rose earlier to greet the activities of the five road gods of wealth, also known as the "road head".
In order to greet the god of wealth earlier, some merchants also advanced the activity to the evening of the fourth day of the first year, commonly known as "grabbing the road head". Just like Cai Yun Shiyun: Five days of wealth god five days to ask, a year's wish for a temporary reward. Beware of greeting the gods early elsewhere, and rush to the head of the road overnight.
All of this contains people's hopes for the new year, hoping to get a good lottery of "opening the market and everything is prosperous".
Throughout the ages, the chinese people have been diligent, hardworking, and multiplying in this land for generations, they will pray for the protection of the gods, and they will also gather the expectations of their families, so as to turn into a force for a whole year, and after a short rest, they will start again.
Now, maybe you're packing your bags and getting ready to return to where you work; maybe you're already on your way back from your hometown; maybe you haven't had time to go home for various reasons and have chosen to spend the New Year in place.
Regardless of the state, our Spring Festival holiday has insufficient balance and needs to open the heart mode. In the new year, may you always have five mentalities and embark on the road to enjoy a happy life.
01 Empty cup mentality
Kung Fu superstar Bruce Lee said: Empty your cup, you can fill it again, empty and complete.
As we grow, we need to keep learning at all times.
Henry Ford said: "Anyone who stops learning has entered old age, whether he is 20 or 80 years old; and those who insist on learning will always be young.
Accept new things, learn new skills, and may wish to maintain an "empty cup mentality". Zero out the past achievements, empty ourselves, and integrate into the new environment and new knowledge, so that we can better absorb and master.
In his later years, the master of Chinese painting, Li Keyan, can be described as reading his life, but he still maintained a childlike curiosity and curiosity, calling himself a "white-haired schoolboy".
If we always think that our "cup" is full, it is easy to feel self-righteous and blind. Only by maintaining a growth mindset of lifelong learning and always having an empty cup mentality can we create more possibilities in our future lives.
02 Self-discipline mindset
York Willink wrote in "Self-Discipline Gives You Freedom": There is no shortcut in the world, to achieve goals, overcome difficulties, and become the best version of yourself. There are no shortcuts, you have to be self-disciplined. Self-discipline is fundamental to all good qualities.
When it comes to self-discipline, we may think of the formation of some habits, such as: insisting on exercise, lifelong learning, going to bed early and getting up early, etc., but in fact, it also includes various self-management abilities such as time, figure, emotions and relationships.
Jobs said, "Where does freedom come from?" It comes from self-confidence, and self-confidence comes from self-discipline. ”
If you want to harvest a free life, we can start by insisting on getting up half an hour early every day, reading the pages of the books we bought, taking the fitness card and starting to exercise immediately, constantly enhancing our self-management ability and forming a quality of self-discipline.
03 Inclusive mindset
While we are practicing internally, we must also pay attention to the environment in which we live. In the face of different people and things, you need to have an inclusive heart, maintain an attitude of empathy, and do not drill the horns.
There is a cloud in the Tao Te Ching: The good is like water, the water is good for all things without dispute, and the evil of all people is evil, so it is more than the Tao.
It means that water is soft but can encompass all things, and can reach all things. From ancient times to the present, the higher the realm of people, the more easy-going they are, like water. The realm of water conservancy and all things, we may not be able to achieve.
However, we can help others when they need support, only make up for the stage and not dismantle the stage; when others are frustrated and frustrated, they can take a ride, give people roses, and leave incense in their hands; remind one or two when others are full of spirit, not arrogant, not impatient, and go far.
In this way, we can also achieve adulthood and achieve new heights in life.
04 Gratitude mindset
In ordinary life, have you ever been aware of yourself, and have you often complained about this and complained about that? Complaining about unsatisfactory work, disobedience of children, unpleasant eyes of spouses, or too nagging of parents, it feels as if life is always indebted to themselves.
"The World Without Complaining" says: Complaining will make your energy focus on the problems that exist in the moment, rather than the solution to the problems.
We often live under the shackles of our own creation, blind to the keys in our hands. In fact, as long as you change this habit of complaining, you can live a completely different life.
Life is like a mirror, you smile at it, it will smile in return; you cry at it, it will also respond with sadness.
The Roman philosopher Cicero said that gratitude is not only the best virtue, but also the source of other virtues. Gratitude can make people resonate more deeply with each other, and when you run your life with a grateful mindset, you will reinterpret your life and experience.
05 Optimism
Although there are some things in life that we cannot decide, we can change the outcome by changing our mindset.
There's a story of two people working on a wall at the same time, and passers-by asked if they felt it was hard to build a wall, and one of them said in frustration: "It's too hard, every day is very tired." But another person laughed and said, "I don't feel hard, because I am building a beautiful mansion for this city, and I will make her more beautiful and prosperous." ”
Years later, the first man is still building the wall, while the other becomes a famous architect.
A positive and optimistic attitude will make people feel a sense of pride and make their work more meaningful. Keep a positive and optimistic attitude, be open-minded and open-minded to face the tests of life, and you will definitely gain more.
Things turn with the heart, and the situation is created by the heart.
Always have an empty cup mentality, you can see the excitement of life in a higher place;
Always have a self-discipline mentality, you can achieve a deeper value of life;
Always have an inclusive mindset, which can improve a better quality of life;
Always have a grateful attitude, you can find more diversified life is beautiful;
Always with optimism, you can reach the direction of a more distant heart.
With a good mindset, you can enjoy your own beautiful life.
