The Dispute Between Tradition and Modernity?
Chapter 437:The Dispute Between Tradition and Modernity?
Is this the legendary golden toad?
On the West Gate Street of a university, Yan Qinghe suddenly stopped and was surprised to see the three-legged tad in front of him.
He blinked, some doubting whether he was mistaken.
This big toad is big and only smaller than volleyball.
It had only one hind leg, which looked like a stout tail, and had a golden round spot on its back that looked like a piece of money.
“Do you really have three legs?”
Yan Qingkong looked curiously, while walking up and saying to himself: "Three-legged toads is called 'toad', it is said that it can spit money, so it is also called the golden toad, three-legged golden toad or the toad..."
In folklore.
The three legs of the golden toad, the body is covered with money jewelry, stepping on the treasure at the foot, is the famous wealth of the beast, representing the source of wealth, its moral is "home has a golden toad, wealth is long", "the golden toad will be rich".
In addition to the wealth, there is also the moral of the town house to fight evil and embroider the future.
This is because in ancient times, the use of "toad palace cinnamon" to compare the claim of the entrance, so the golden toad has the meaning of "bringing the future".
There are many legends about the Golden Toad.
The most famous is the legend of "Liu Hai opera golden toad, step by step to fish money".
Legend has it that Liu Hai, a disciple of Lu Dongbin, has subdued the golden toad goblins that have been endangering the people for many years and cut off one of its legs.Since then, the golden toad has been subservited to Liu Haimen, in order to make atonement for the achievements, make the living bite into gold and silver treasures, help the world, help the poor, and spread money...
“Isn’t that a gold spot?”
When Yan Qingyang approached, he found the golden spot on the back of the golden toad, which seemed to be a piece of money, and it was not as simple as an ordinary color spot.
This surprised him a little, no wonder it was called the golden toad.
At this time, he crouched down and smiled at the golden toad and said, "I heard that you can have money, and spit a money to see?"
The golden toad is just looking forward to looking at Yan Qingyue, a pair of eyes full of spirituality, and not spitting out any money.And the money attached to the back is just a piece of gold skin like money, which looks like money...
At this time, Yan Qinghe looked around, his eyebrows slightly scratched.
Can anyone else... not see it?
This golden toad is almost volleyball, and the appearance of the legendary golden toad looks very conspicuous.If others can see, it is impossible to not be interested in going forward, or even attract a lot of people...
Only I see them?
They refer to cyan bats, red bats, long-lived turtles and three-legged golden toads.
“Can you understand me talking?”Yan Qingqian asked.
Unfortunately, the golden toad did not react and still looked forward to looking at him.
Yan Qinghe paused, stretched out his hand to touch the money on the back of the golden toad, but found that he could not touch anything, which surprised him.
A gold toad is not an entity?
His hand trodted a few more times, through the golden toad, how is this possible?In his heart, he was surprised that he did not see that it was not an entity.
The blue bat, the red bat and the long-lived turtle are all virtual?
Yan Qingyang was very surprised, and his eyebrows were slightly scratched, because there were no five blessings, so they had no entities?
At this time, the golden toad slowly disappeared.
“Cyan bats, red bats, and then there will certainly be white bats, yellow = black bats and black bats...”
Yan Qinghe was not surprised that the golden toad would disappear, just stand up and look at the distance and think.
“In traditional cultures, bats are generally a symbol of good luck and happiness.”Yan Qinghe was quickly sorting out the information of the five blessings, while walking and saying to himself: "People often say 'Five-Blessed Linmen', in fact, is the 'five-bath door', composed of five five-color bats, taking the meaning of the word 'bat', so it is called 'Five-Fu Linmen'."
"The 'Five Blessings' represents five auspicious blessings: Shoubi Nanshan, congratulations on getting rich, healthy and peaceful, virtuous, and good beginning and good finish."
Life than the South Mountain, that is, long life, refers to life does not die, and the life is long.
Congratulations on getting rich, that is, wealth, means wealth and wealth, and status is honorable.
Health and tranquillity, or Corning, means good health and peace of mind.
High moral character, that is, good virtue, refers to the benevolence of nature, and the peace of mind.
Good beginnings and good ends, that is, good endings, means not suffering from disease and death peacefully.
This is the five blessings!
But what fun is the long-lived turtle and the three-legged golden toad running out?
This is the place that Yan Qingxiao does not understand, there is no long-lived turtle, three-legged golden toad in the five blessings...
Next, there will be three animals, representing the three blessings.
Was it intentionally disturbing?
I thought so, but would the inn be so boring?Therefore, the appearance of long-lived turtles and three-legged golden toads must have their meaning...
Do you have two five blessings?
This should not be.
Yan Qinghe walked while thinking, and then thought of what he quickly returned to the Changsheng Inn.
“Dad, is it so early?”
Yan Qinghang returned to the Changsheng Inn and saw that Yan Father had just come out of the guest house.
“Early?It's nine o'clock, and I've made a few long-term lettuce."Father Yan came to the tea table, lit the charcoal fire in the copper stove, put the kettle on it, "Son, can't drink tea?"
“Drink.”
Yan Qingkong said, pointing to the fourth floor, "I'll go to the fourth floor first."
Ten seconds later, Yan Qingyang went up to the fourth floor, picked up the "long life book" on the desk, and saw a "congratulations on getting rich" auxiliary dishes.
“What about ‘healthy’?”
Yan Qingyong asked himself, took the same mobile phone to search for "five blessings", seriously look.
Blessed!
The history of a nation is the history of people's pursuit of Fulu's birthday and happiness.
The first statement of Wufu was found in the Book of Shang: "One life, two rich, three Corning, four good morals, five exams to die."Long life, wealth, good health and peace of mind, virtue, and no evil and end.
This is the people's "blessing", the earliest specific interpretation.
Yan Qingkang saw quickly, a vision of ten lines, more understanding of the five blessings, that "peace of mind, high moral character, good beginning and end" is a higher demand for the spiritual level.
This can be said to be an ideal of five blessings...
Hmmm...
The feeling problem may be here.
Then he found a problem, as if the five blessings now mentioned were more inclined to "Fu Lu's birthday."
This is already very different from the ancient saying of the five blessings.
“If long life, wealth, Corning, virtue and end well-being are an ideal pursuit, a spiritual pursuit.”Yan Qinghe gradually understood what, "then ... slowly evolved out of the blessing, Lu, life, wealth, joy, is more in line with the requirements of the world, that is, the pursuit of reality, the pursuit of material things..."
An ideal, a reality.
One noble, one worldly.
One spirit, one substance.
A tradition, a modern
