Legend... Custom... Tradition.
All the beautiful things that are crowned, as long as they exist, must be related to actual interests.
Yes, no matter how many thoughts, beliefs, and even good blessings are added, it is actually an excuse.
For example, in the previous days of the Heavenly Dynasty, people like to eat dumplings during Chinese New Year, especially in the northern regions.
The first is Chinese New Year. Why Chinese New Year? What to remove the old and welcome the new, what this and that... are actually bullshit. The real reason is that it was too idle at that time.
Yes, in a country dominated by farming, during the winter break, they can’t do anything. People who don’t have jobs just happen to have the harvest after autumn. It’s a little money, a little surplus, and it’s still idle... No matter. Do you think you are full of food, or something else. As long as people are idle, there will always be something like this or that. Not to mention the proliferation of pornography, gambling and drugs, but social security is a very serious problem. .
Therefore, the ruler came up with a way to allow people to have something to do during the year when they were the richest and the most leisurely!
year.
From the beginning of the year, it showed extremely complex origins.
Complicated, people have to be busy since they were young. Even after the Chinese New Year, there are still many customary rituals that need to be done. They have been busy until fifteen... For more than a month, every day seems to have something to do. Do it.
Merchants also found business opportunities in it. Originally it was a festive couplet by literati and ink guests. It turned into a business. It was originally a game of burning dry bamboo. It was labelled as the legend of the Nian Beast and consumed the country’s surplus for a year. The gunpowder inventory of the United States, after all, this kind of thing is used as war preparation materials and mineral production materials... It is produced from time to time, but the shelf life is not long, and it is also stored. It is a good thing to change some money.
Therefore, the whole year process is to consume all the various surpluses in the year, which can be regarded as reducing the inventory, and let the people have something to do, and will not go out to make trouble.
This is the origin of the year.
And among them, the already busy housewives also thought of a way to be lazy.
Thus, something like dumplings came into being.
When dumplings first appeared, it was not like later, when there were so many dishes on a large table.
Foods eaten in normal years, pasta, and dishes with a small amount of meat.
Everyone is resting, and when they are busy for their age, housewives have to add in the daily cooking and cooking, of course they don't want to. So I don’t know which smart guy, he wraps the dishes with pasta and puts them in the cold outdoors, which directly plays a role in preserving freshness.
Then while eating...
In fact, as long as there is a fire in the home, there will always be a pot of boiling water.
Pour the fresh-keeping dumplings into the pot, and then take them out when they are cooked... It couldn't be easier.
Calculating carefully, it is actually a lazy process.
And for this matter, many people with brains also came up with all kinds of narratives deliberately or accidentally, what kind of dumplings look like ingots, the meaning is very good. It’s not that dumplings look like ingots so everyone eats them, but because everyone likes ingots, dumplings are made into this shape!
It is not because dumplings resemble the homophonic currency of the time'Jiaozi', but because everyone likes'jiaozi', the dumplings are named dumplings.
and so…
This kind of simple and convenient diet is made to be lazy. It is the origin and the key. As for the legend, the imitation, and the implication of it, they were added after it had been established.
If the order is wrong, it is just unfounded nonsense.
Everything.
You can find something related to interest, either consumption, or making money, or just being lazy... They all appear for this purpose, and no matter how much beauty is added to it, it is difficult to conceal the essence of this matter.
It is precisely because of this that all legends and all myths actually have their interests related and real things evolved.
This is an important basis for Lu Yu to think about all the myths and legends he has learned.
Such as Phoenix.
I have heard many legends about the phoenix in my previous life.
But the legend of the phoenix always gives people a feeling of... disorder.
In some legends, they are the most lofty and magical creatures in the world. They brought fire to the world. They brought seeds of hope for mankind. But in some legends, they are just some cruel and beautiful giant flying birds.
And some legends left only Nirvana, as if the phoenix did nothing but die.
Until... All the legends about the achievements of the phoenix were replaced by other gods, such as flames, seeds, and other things, and they looked more real. After all, they were actually deified human beings. Those things that benefit the world.
But when Lu Yu thinks about these things, he will grasp one of the most important key points, which is what he believes most.
That is... If you evolve and grow according to the natural world, there will be no species like humans!
What evolutionary theory, what monkeys changed, what cosmic aliens... So everything is actually not as convincing as the word "made" in ancient legends!
Some people say that the creation of mankind is a matter of God, it is a matter of gods, and it is impossible for humans to do it.
And now...
In front of Lu Yu, isn't it just such a group of... gods
Lu Yu had been exposed to a concept from a long time ago.
That is... "Wei".
It is different from the'rhyme' that Lu Yu usually believes in.
Things like'dimensional' are more like classes.
For example, a poor man for three lifetimes has never left his village in his entire life. He only knows that there is still an emperor in the world, that is, the emperor, and his imagination about the life of the emperor has become extremely boring.
He would think that he could only eat flatbread and roll meat once a year, and the emperor would naturally be able to eat it every day!
What he can only enjoy once a year has become something that the emperor can enjoy every day, three hundred and sixty-five days a year. A person is richer than his entire village... Isn’t this an exaggeration? In a village, hundreds of people work hard and work hard, day and night. The wealth created by the hundreds of them is the greatest wealth that farmer can imagine!
After all, if a person has twice the wealth of those around him, his life will be very good. If he has a hundred times the wealth of those around him, then he is a rich man, a super rich man! At least he thinks so.
But... He really didn't understand.
I don't even know that the emperor eats a meal, not the flatbread and roll meat that he can only enjoy once a year. The value of that meal is equivalent to the sum of all the values created in his entire life!
Without seeing a person, there is no way to think that someone would be so luxurious and use his life's income to eat a meal...
This is the'dimensional'.
A poor person cannot understand the lives of those who are at the top of the world, let alone understand their thoughts.
