The greatest creation

□ Wu Qiong / Wen

In the celebration of the Spring Festival, the most important day of the Chinese, there are various ways to celebrate, and even the most basic Spring Festival and the decorations in the house are strange and renovated. The Spring League is written in two large characters by the most traditional two pieces of red paper, and now the Spirit Leaf Algae, the words are carefully chosen, and the decorations in the room are also more than a string of peppers that symbolize the prosperity of the day, a large carp that symbolizes more than one year, and a cabbage that is in harmony with the hundred fortunes. However, there is an old Chinese saying called "all changes are inseparable from its origin", just like the creation of prose emphasizes the dispersion of form and the spirit of not dispersing, and there must be a central idea in writing articles, among these complex and diverse things, one thing has never changed, that is, a "blessing" word that is indispensable for the Spring Festival every year.

The New Year's Posting Blessing Word is a rule handed down by the ancestors for thousands of years, and this word has indeed been recognized by posterity, I have to say that the soil is a little bit earthy, but the meaning is excellent. No matter how different it is from the past, the center of the main entrance must be pasted with a big fu character, and the ever-changing paper cutout will definitely outline the shape of a fu character, and the carp pendant will also be embroidered with a fu character on the belly of the fish.

The word fu can be used as both a noun and a verb. When used as a noun, it refers to happiness and blessing, and when used as a verb, it refers to the process of our prayer to the gods to bless ourselves. I don't know if the word Fu was created when Cangjie created the word, but today's people often just use it, but rarely study and analyze its connotations. Literally, it's interesting. On the left side is a four-complement side, the same as "show", also known as the show word side. This side is remarkable in ancient times, and has three meanings, one is money, the other is the things on the top of the head, and the third is sacrifice, which is highly valued by the ancients. The ancients valued money not as a greed for pleasure and amassing wealth, but as a symbol of a rich life and a certain social status. The things above the head determine whether a person lives well or not, or even whether he can live or not.

Ancient men were proud of their careers, and it was important which level the black hat on the top of your head was worn, how the emperor looked at you on top of your head was important, how your parents and elders were above your head, filial piety was very important, and the heaven above your head was more important. The ancients attached great importance to sacrifice, which was essentially different from today's people. Our sacrifice today is no longer a sacrifice, at most it is to burn something in front of the graves of our parents or grandparents, or to burn some paper money at an intersection or river after dark, and even with the development of science and technology, there are online sacrifices, but it is just a form, talking about masturbation.

But in ancient times, it was completely different, the sacrifice mentioned by the ancients was not simply to give a grave and burn a piece of paper to their own blood-related elders, but to pay homage to the ancestors of their own family who had never seen them since birth, and to prepare many things and many procedures several days in advance like buying New Year goods for the New Year. Therefore, with that strong sense of ritual sacrifice, it can be counted as a sacrifice, not only praying to the ancestors to bless future generations to live well, but also praying to God to bless the souls of the ancestors to live well in another world. Compared with the ancients, our sacrifices today are at most nostalgic. Therefore, when you see words with four complements, they are not to be underestimated.

To the right of the fu character is a horizontal mouth plus a field. The upper horizontal represents a piece of heaven overhead, the middle one represents man, and the field character below is its own land. Why is there such a combination? At the beginning of human beings, some are only their own bodies, and they can only continue their lives by eating themselves first, and as for dressing up beautifully, spiritual life, developing science and technology, and higher pursuits, it was only after a long time. Therefore, the first thing a person lives is a mouth, and a mouth word represents a person. China is also a big agricultural country, people first lived on farming, and in ancient times, the hierarchy of farmers, industry and commerce was also clearly divided. Therefore, the field cultivated by each family is the root of life, and the sky above is uncontrollable by manpower, whether it is sunny, whether it is windy or rainy, which directly determines the harvest of crops and determines whether your hard work and busyness throughout the year will be rewarded.

Time has flown to today, many things have changed, people live not only to solve the problem of food and clothing, many people no longer live on farming, then the field word under the foot represents your work, career, and the ability to survive, the middle word represents your material life and spiritual pursuits, and the sky above your head represents your conscience, your moral bottom line, and your code of conduct.

It can be seen that fuzi is really the greatest creation of Chinese.
