Recently, a farmer named He Chengwen in the Jiefang Street community of Wanshan Town, Wanshan District, Tongren City, Guizhou Province, said that an unknown creature suddenly appeared in the pond built by his family. This unknown creature is about the size of a fingernail and the size of a corn kernel, and they look very strange as they swim.
He Chengwen's discovery quickly attracted aquatic animal experts to He Chengwen's home for identification, and after the identification of many experts, it was confirmed that the unknown creature that appeared in the pond of He Chengwen's family was a peach blossom jellyfish that had disappeared for a long time.
This is the first time I've heard of a creature like peach blossom jellyfish, so I feel curious. Yesterday, when chatting with an old farmer, I wanted to ask the old farmer if he knew what a peach blossom jellyfish was, but who knew that as soon as my words came out, the old farmer actually said such a sentence----- "Peach blossom jellyfish swim in the water, and prosper and live a long life."
"What? What do you mean by that? "I'm a little confused about the old farmer's statement.
The old farmer replied: This sentence I said is a rural saying, and if you do not understand what this saying means, I can give you a nagging.
Next, the old farmer began to explain this saying to me. The old farmer said:
"Peach blossom jellyfish" is a small jellyfish in a genus of the family Kasa jellyfish that lives in fresh water, and there are 11 species of "peach blossom jellyfish" that have been recorded.
"Peach blossom jellyfish" is a primitive and inferior invertebrate, this low invertebrate first appeared 550 million years ago, therefore, biological and animal experts believe that peach blossom jellyfish is a veritable "living fossil", not only has high research value, but also has a very high ornamental value.
The world's first recorded peach blossom jellyfish appeared in 1880, when several peach blossom jellyfish were found in a creek on the outskirts of London, England. However, in the following half a century, people never saw peach blossom jellyfish again.
China's first discovery of peach blossom jellyfish should be in 1907, in May of that year, the Japanese Kawai found a peach blossom jellyfish in a stream in Yichang, Hubei Province, and collected it, and later, the Japanese scholar Qiu Qian named the peach blossom jellyfish collected by Kawai as Yichang peach blossom jellyfish.
China is one of the countries with the most births of folklore, and there is also a beautiful and moving legend about peach blossom jellyfish. According to legend, Wang Zhaojun of the Han Dynasty married away in order to reconcile Han Hu. Wang Zhaojun, who was far away from the marriage, was actually not happy, once, she went to the river side of the Lingxi River after a conflict with her husband and played the pipa, and when she played a pipa line affectionately, she couldn't help but cry, and her crystal tears instantly turned into a transparent peach blossom fish after dripping into the river, which was a peach blossom jellyfish.
Of course, these are just folklore, and we cannot be sure of them. However, the peach blossom jellyfish is indeed a very precious and rare species, and it is known as the "giant panda in the water" in foreign countries.
According to the study, the peach blossom jellyfish has very high requirements for water quality, and the water body must be non-toxic and very clean, otherwise, they are difficult to survive.
So, what is the relationship between "peach blossom jellyfish water swimming" and "wangcai wangfu longevity"?
Above we have already talked about the preciousness and rarity of peach blossom jellyfish. Once there is a peach blossom jellyfish in whose pond, it will inevitably cause a sensation, many tourists who have not seen the peach blossom jellyfish will naturally flock to it, which will bring unlimited business opportunities to the owner of the pond, and when the owner of the pond grasps the business opportunity, he will naturally get rich. In addition, because the pond water with peach blossom jellyfish is very high-quality, this water is very helpful to human health, when the owner of the pond often drinks this pond water, it will naturally be very long-lived, and longevity is also a kind of happiness! Therefore, there is still a very close connection between "peach blossom jellyfish water swimming" and "wangcai wangfu longevity"!
This is the general meaning of this saying.
After listening to the old farmer's explanation, I finally figured out what the meaning of the saying "peach blossom jellyfish swims in the water, and prospers and lives for a long time" is. From this point of view, the working people are still quite wise!
