At the edge of the town, there is a small river that meanders and flows, which bears witness to the countless changes of morning and dusk, and also carries the whispers of ancient legends. In the early morning, when the first rays of sunlight pierced through the mist and gently sprinkled on the river, Li Xiaozhi embarked on this familiar trail, but his heart was filled with awe and curiosity about the wisdom of the ancients.
Li Xiaozhi, a young man with a passion for history, heard many stories about the "Seven Taboos of the Ancients" at his grandfather's knees since he was a child. These taboos, which are said to be the wisdom of life summarized by the ancients to ensure peace and promote harmony, have passed on for thousands of years, but still retain their mystery and solemnity in the oral tradition of the town's residents.
Today, Li Xiaozhi decided to come to the river alone, trying to find the true meaning behind those taboos in the tranquility of nature. He walked slowly along the riverbank, the breeze blowing on his face, bringing a hint of coolness, and it seemed to blow away the distracting thoughts in his heart.
"The first taboo is not to take evil as small." Li Xiaozhi thought silently in his heart, he remembered the old Uncle Li in the town who was always helpful, even in the face of trivial things, he never hesitated to lend a hand. Isn't this exactly what the ancients advocated "accumulating small goodness to become great virtue"?
Just as he was immersed in thought, a crisp birdsong interrupted his thoughts. When I looked up, I saw a small bird jumping on the branch, which looked particularly cheerful. Li Xiaozhi smiled slightly, continued to move forward, and thought to himself in his heart: "The second taboo, reverence for nature, harmonious coexistence." He looked around, and the lush trees and the babbling river all spoke of the harmonious coexistence of nature and human beings.
Walking and walking, Li Xiaozhi came to an open field, where several villagers who got up early were exercising in the morning, although their movements were unprofessional, they were full of love and persistence for life. This scene reminded him of the third taboo: "Work hard and keep your family, and strive for self-improvement." "The residents of the town, young and old, have worked hard with their own hands in exchange for the peace and prosperity of life.
Just as he was about to move on, an old woman on crutches came slowly from the river. She is the town's Granny Zhang, known for her kindness and wisdom. Li Xiaozhi hurriedly stepped forward to help, and the two chatted while walking.
"Ash, when you came to the river so early, are you thinking about the taboos of the ancients again?" Granny Zhang asked with a smile.
"Yes, Granny Zhang. I always feel that these taboos hide the great wisdom of the ancients, and I want to know more about them. Li Xiaozhi replied sincerely.
Granny Zhang nodded, and said earnestly: "The wisdom of the ancients is indeed worth learning. But remember, the most important thing is not the taboos themselves, but the values that are conveyed behind them – honesty, kindness, respect, hard work...... That's what we really need to pass on. ”
As the dialogue deepened, Li Xiaozhi gradually understood more about the deep meaning of the "Seven Taboos of the Ancients". He realized that these taboos are not only norms of behavior, but also spiritual guidance, leading people to a better life.
The sun was rising, and golden sunlight was shining all over the riverbank. After saying goodbye to Granny Zhang, Li Xiaozhi continued his stroll. The awe and curiosity about the wisdom of the ancients in my heart has quietly transformed into firmness and hope for the future. He knows that as long as there is light in his heart, the road under his feet will be wider and wider. And the "Seven Taboos of the Ancients" will also become an inextinguishable light in his life journey, illuminating the direction of his progress.
