The ninth day of the first month is not endless, and the rice is as cheap as mud
Dear readers, today we are going to discuss a folk culture that is closely related to our daily life - Wujiu Sayings. Let's take a look at the phenomenon of endless grains and mud on the ninth day of the first lunar month mentioned in this article and the meaning behind it.
In the vast rural areas of China, as a traditional folk culture, Wujiu colloquialism is still widely inherited and discussed. The 59 saying, as the name suggests, is a saying about the 59th and 60th days after the winter solstice. And what we are going to talk about today is a saying in this special date: "The ninth day of the first month is not endless, and the rice is as cheap as mud".
This proverb means that on the ninth day of the first lunar month, if the rice at home is not eaten, then it will be as worthless as dirt. It seems to be an absurd saying, but it actually contains a profound meaning.
First of all, this proverb reminds us to cherish food. Grain is the crystallization of the hard work of farmers and the foundation of people's survival. In today's material abundance, we should cherish every grain of food, because they are all gifts from nature and the efforts of farmers.
Secondly, this proverb also admonishes us to avoid waste. Wasting food is not only disrespectful to the fruits of one's own labor, but also a great waste of resources. We should develop good eating habits, avoid leftovers, and cherish every portion of food.
In addition, this proverb reminds us to be grateful. We should be grateful for the hard work of farmers, the nourishment of nature, and the harmonious coexistence of society. Only those who know how to be grateful can truly understand the true meaning of life and better cherish every beauty in front of them.
Of course, this proverb is not a dogma. In real life, we should be flexible according to the actual situation. For example, we can prepare enough food for a few days in advance to avoid wastage, we can also advocate "Disc Action" to cherish every portion, and we can make better use of food resources by donating or buying organic food.
In short, although the saying that the ninth day of the first lunar month is not endless, the rice is as cheap as mud seems simple, but it contains a rich meaning behind it. It reminds us to cherish food, avoid waste, and know how to be grateful. In modern society, we should combine this traditional folk culture with modern concepts to make it play a greater value.
Finally, I would like to say that let us inherit and carry forward the traditional folk culture such as the 59 colloquialism, so that more people can understand and accept it, so as to practice it in daily life, and make our society more harmonious and beautiful.
