Spring's thoughts
Zhang voters
On Saturday morning, a spring rain that had arrived by appointment suddenly stopped, and suddenly the sky was much clearer, the sun was red and red again sprinkled on the earth, and everything after the new rain was still clean and beautiful. The red peach blossoms, competing for the beauty, the white pear blossoms, do not lose the snowflake half a point, only leave this flower fragrance in the mid-spring after the rain, even the mountain peach blossom tree on the side of the road, is also full of buds, trembling and slow buds to be released, the landscape tree also put the brownish buds, the branches bloomed, looking at it is full of vitality. Those tall locust trees, persimmon trees, etc., are also a lot greener, and suddenly make the village full of vitality. On the grass next to the road, the blue wildflowers are also fine and dazzling, and at a glance, they are full of vitality and positive. The wheat seedlings between the ridges are even more green and oily, and the spirit is extremely vibrant, only the drones in the air are conscientiously sowing fertilizer back and forth. Pretty, lively birds, leisurely on the branches, constantly jumping around, from time to time issuing "Chirp! Tweeted! "The sound of birdsong, clean and tidy streets, there are puppies, kittens in the confident pace, chasing __.
The countryside after the new rains is still quiet, and the peasants who grow grain are already very idle, and they are looking for their favorite "scattered work", doing odd jobs and subsidizing their families. A large number of us also came to the baby's grandmother's house "on time", which is a habit we have formed for many years, every Saturday, no matter how busy we are, we still have to go back to see this old man who is over the age of old, and let her enjoy the joy of this day. The family cooked meals, chatted about the day, enjoyed the harmony, and gathered together, and also painted out the anecdotes of the week, and there were really some "strange texts to appreciate", especially the nephews of the younger generation, who were also narrating what he saw and heard.
There were two things that made me feel refreshed, and I really renewed my thinking as if I had been empowered. One is that a friend's father passed away, and his friend still used his father's mobile phone to send an "obituary" in his father's WeChat group, saying that his father's death was also a "strange" approach. But then I thought, "Actually, this is also the right thing for him!" The father's group is the father's group of friends, related to the father's closest 'closest' people, such a spread, not only convenient, but also understand! "Obviously, it can still have the effect of doing more with half the effort, and I am full of emotions.
Another thing, I was even more "surprised". He said, "A colleague from our unit is going to call us to dinner in the afternoon!" And they asked him, "Why do you please?" He said, "It's the people who have found a girlfriend and want to 'officially announce it'!" When I heard it, I was surprised, "What? Official! Is this matter going to be "officially announced" now? I was really weird. Originally it was a relatively "secretive" thing, and now the baby, why will it still be so publicized? What's more, the word "official announcement" was used, and this "official announcement" word, in the past, we only heard or seen it on TV and the Internet, that is, those entertainment stars, in order to win attention, put a good word that was originally "high-end atmosphere and high-grade" on their own bodies, in order to tell their different identities, especially a simple "official", it seems so different. Therefore, this "official declaration" word still exists in my mind as half-official, half-citizen, and my strangeness is also normal, but as soon as everyone heard my reaction, they all "criticized" my "backwardness", and I reluctantly defended "This 'word' was not only said on TELEVISION and the Internet?" This is the first time I've heard about it! Everyone was laughing at me, and I seemed to be the one who had been in the peach blossom garden for a long time, "whatever Wei Jin".
From this, I fell into deep contemplation.
Especially for this "official announcement". It is said that this is to find an object, but also a major event in the traditional customs of the mainland, in ancient times, it was "marriage, funeral, marriage, marriage, meeting, drinking" as one of the six rites, about this wedding, there are more "three books and six rites", that is, "letter of appointment, gift book, welcome book" and "Na Cai, ask the name, Najib, Na Zheng, please period, kiss and greet", the process is indeed complicated and long-winded, the etiquette is cumbersome, but it is still showing the attention of the ancients, so this "marriage" is still a traditional Chinese "big thing", but also to ensure the legality and compliance of the wedding , the name is right. Of course, with the progress of society, the renewal of thinking, people look for objects, but also on the new customs and customs, first, the "revolutionary wedding" during the Cultural Revolution, and then the "working wedding", "Western-style wedding", "retro wedding", etc., the forms are diverse, but also to meet people's different pursuits, people are enjoying themselves, each taking what they need. But our Chinese is still advocating simplicity, people in the past, advocating "gentleness and frugality", all things, including this wedding, as long as they follow the procedure, it is ok. And now people are not, life has improved, materials are also rich, especially the parents of only children, but also cherish their children's marriage, so this idea is also strange, not surprising, diversified society, diversified way of life, allow different thinking of people and things, harmonious coexistence.
People with traditional customs still have a variety of strange ideas. Usually everyone's "procedure" is to talk about friends, engagement, marriage, especially this "engagement", which is equivalent to "announcing" within a certain range, so this engagement is still a very "important" thing, the parents of both sides, the relatives of the relatives, and the "matchmaker", just sit together, eat a meal, and also basically approve this matter, especially the parents of both sides, but also approve the affairs of the couple, allowing the babies to get along in the way of "objects", men and women, also put this "underground" The love affair is announced to the surface, and the generous exchange is also justified. But in the past, people also put this engagement, and it was relatively limited, because after all, this is the "big" thing of their own children, and it is also their own "family" thing, and there is no need to "invite guests" with great fanfare.
People now, on the other hand, are still thinking about it, or they are single and not married (married), "Dink", free. Either they are in their thirties and are not in a hurry, they are busy all day, even if their parents are coerced and seduced, they are indifferent, leaving their parents to grieve. Either it is still so high-profile, even a so-called "engagement" has also made a big publicity, I am afraid that everyone does not know, still "widely publicized", whining Xuantian to invite guests to dinner, even colleagues in the unit, also informed, lest they miss any one. I smiled bitterly, "I always think this is weird!" But then I thought about it, in fact, "Yes!" Not only to warn everyone that this 'famous flower has the lord', there is no need to bother everyone to introduce it, but also to warn those handsome men and women who are eager to move, find another way! ”。 But think about it again, "Normal, it seems to leak out abnormal!" "It is a typical greed for more, which is incompatible with the traditional customs of our ancients. However, a tolerant society can exist as long as it does not violate the law, as long as it does not violate public order and good customs. In fact, if you think about it again, this so-called "official announcement" is only those whose parents have public office, or whose children have public office status, will have this leisure time, and only then will they have the strength to get these vigorous things, and those "professional" people who are only in a hurry all day really don't necessarily have the time and mind to get these fancy things!
As the saying goes, "The forest is big, and there are birds!" ", any person and thing, still in the mood to decide how to deal with things, people any practice, but also allow the existence, diversified society, but also to allow different thinking, so as to enrich our lives, but also to "a hundred flowers blooming", but also is the spring full of garden, this is our country!
