i have a small world

"Brother, if the choice is really not good, we still choose the warrior army. The warrior army has the full support of the commander hall, and the warrior army has so many quasi warriors and warriors. Therefore, the future development of the warrior army will definitely not be small. However, if the warrior army wants to develop, it cannot do without a lot of resources. Now that we hand over this thing, the warrior army will get a huge resource pool.☆→Top☆→Point☆→Small☆→Say,
Brother, you must know that giving charcoal in the snow is better than icing on the cake.Now we hand in this thing directly, that is to send charcoal to the warrior army in a timely manner. At that time, what we get will far exceed our imagination, big brother... "

Xu Jie was very anxious to persuade Xu Chang, which made Xu Chang on the side start to hesitate, because what Xu Jie said was indeed reasonable.

Sending charcoal in the snow means that when you are cold and alone and helpless, someone sends you a pot of coals to keep you warm.In reality, it means the warmth, enthusiasm and support that it sends in the face of frustration, ups and downs, and bleak future.

The icing on the cake means to add flowers to the beautiful brocade fabric. It is a metaphor for a little modification to make a beautiful person more beautiful. The extended metaphor is a further improvement on the basis of the original achievements.

The words come from Song Huang Tingjian's "Ode to Liao'an": "I want Fu Weng to sing again, and the picture is icing on the cake."

In addition, Qing Li Yu's "Huang Qiufeng? Rendezvous": "Congratulations to the three wives. They became the wives of the champion again, and they entered a brand-new house. The usual grievances were released. It's really the icing on the cake."

Chairman Mao's "Speech at the Yan-An Literature and Art Symposium" II: "For them, the first step is not 'icing on the cake'. It's 'sending charcoal in the snow', so under the current conditions, the task of popularizing work more urgent."

Some people say that those who give charcoal in a timely manner are the ones I am most grateful for.And the icing on the cake is often unreliable.Indeed, icing on the cake is often suspected of being snobbish, but giving charcoal in a timely manner is often a symbol of kindness, kindness and loyalty.

What is charcoal in the snow?It's when you're hungry and your pockets are empty.Someone invites you to eat steamed buns for [-] cents and hot soup for [-] cents.This is sending charcoal in a timely manner.

What is the icing on the cake?It was you who just bought a new dress and someone gave you a beautiful brooch.With this brooch, the clothes are more expensive, but without this brooch, the clothes are still bright and beautiful.That's the icing on the cake.

According to "Song History? Taizong Ji" records, there was a year of heavy snowfall.It was very cold.

Song Taizong suddenly remembered the pity of the poor in the palace, so he sent officials to bring food and charcoal to the poor and lonely old people, so that they would have rice to cook and charcoal to light a fire for warmth.

Song Taizong sent charcoal in such a timely manner, and many people were very grateful to him.

There was a poor man who wanted to imitate the example of the ancients in sending charcoal in a timely manner, but his family was poor and he couldn't even afford charcoal.How to give it to others?
Therefore, sending charcoal in the snow is also for some capable people. Why Song Taizong can send charcoal in the snow is because he has this ability.All the people in the world belong to him.

Why can't the poor give charcoal in a timely manner, because he does not have this ability.

On the contrary, the person who is the icing on the cake must be unreliable?No!

The icing on the cake is the people you knew when you were rich and rich.You can guarantee your downfall in the future.What are they like?You can't, so we can only remember those.Those who give charcoal when we are most difficult, and those.People who are the icing on the cake when we are developed are often overlooked by us.

So, should we be the ones who give charcoal when it is needed, or the ones who add to the icing on the cake.In fact, the best thing is to maintain a normal heart, hold a grateful heart, and treat everyone calmly.Everything.

If I am in adversity, I hope that there is a person who can give charcoal in the snow; on the contrary, if I am in good times, I am also willing to be the person who gives charcoal in the snow; Also willing to be the icing on the cake.

Whether you choose to give charcoal in a timely manner or add icing on the cake, it is a personal choice. As long as you want to, as long as you do not violate morality, you can either give charcoal in a timely manner or add icing on the cake.

The world is hot and cold, and human feelings are shallow; the world of thousands of flowers is full of paper and gold.

In the impermanent destiny where everything is like a candle, it is easy to make icing on the cake, but difficult to send charcoal in the snow;

It has been seen that when the flowers bloom, they are swarmed and fluttered; when the flowers wither, the wind blows and the rain hits them.

When I was lonely and homeless, it was you who smiled and opened the thatched house for a nap; When I was helpless and unable to do anything, it was you who lit the lanterns in the vast night sky; when I was shivering in the iceberg and snowy area, it was the warmth of the molten charcoal fire you brought...

"When the water is warm and the water is cold, the fish knows it by itself, so don't tell others about your frustrations." How can there be such sighs and lamentations without knowing the warmth and coldness of the world.

"If you want to talk about the world, you can talk about Jin Neng, but when it comes to human feelings, you want to sing."

How much life experience is contained in a couplet, and how much grievance, frustration and sadness are contained in it?

Duke Huan of Qi, the ruler of the Five Overlords in the Spring and Autumn Period, can be described as a hero of his generation.After his death, his five sons fought for the throne, and they did not mourn for their father for a hundred days. The poor heroic Duke Huan of Qi was bitten by flies and maggots, and only one bone remained on the coffin.

Just imagine, if this is the case with parents and children, is it normal?

A word of good words warms the winter, for those who are trapped in misery, a warm word of help, a little dew-like giving, is like a helping hand stretched out from the cliff, and it is also the warmth of charcoal fire sent on a snowy night.

What a big contrast is there between being unjust for profit and sacrificing one's life for righteousness, which is more important between father and son and friends?There is no need to argue too much, where virtue lies, human nature dictates it.

The benevolent giving and the cruel and fierce whipping will get fragrance and curse, and the return of beauty and ugly should be in direct proportion.

Dee-Ken-Sheng said: "If I can make up for a broken heart, I am not living in vain. If I can relieve the pain of a life, soothe a wound. Or make a bird that leaves the nest return to its nest, I am not living in vain."

Give sincerely.It is the most precious treasure in the world, and the compassionate voyage of the sea of ​​suffering.A helping hand from the shore.The warmth of the charcoal fire and the fragrance of humanity are like cactus flowers in the desert, wonderful and brilliant.Like a fire tree flying into the sky in the dark night, it is gorgeous and brilliant.

The impetuousness of the times, the meagerness of human feelings, when you are proud, your friends know you; when you are in trouble, you see your friends.And today's world.People are too keen on the flattery that is icing on the cake, but disdain the giving that comes in handy.

After the rain, it is sunny, and there are many rainbows hanging obliquely; the snowy field is cold, and there are few people who give charcoal fire.

Don't you see, in the gutter of the rich mansion, there are fat geese and whole ducks that are dumped at random, but in the beggar's scoop shivering in the cold wind, there are few leftovers to satisfy the hunger.

Oh, the redness of the charcoal fire.Like the flowers of humanity blooming in the snowy night; the blazing charcoal fire symbolizes the inexhaustible warmth of humanity.The hot tears of the sympathizers melt the snow on the earth; the soul of the benevolent creates the spring in the warm winter.

The long river of history.The green fields that flow through my heart; the flowers of warmth bloom all over the hills of my memory.

My true friend is in my splendid garden.You don't need to add flowers; but in the cold and snowy field of your life, I want to give you charcoal fire...

Parochialism aside.Let us bravely go to the moral threshold!

The ancients said: "A gentleman donates to the urgent need, but does not enrich the rich."

Gong Xichi, a student of Confucius, went to Qi State as an envoy.Ran You begged for rice for Gong Xichi's mother.

Confucius said, 'give her six dou and four sheng'; when Ran You asked for more, Confucius said, 'give her two dou and four sheng'.Ran You disregarded the teacher's opinion, but gave a full ration of eighty shi for Anjia.

Confucius said earnestly, "Gong Xichi lived very well in the Qi State, and he is fully capable of solving his mother's life."As the saying goes, a gentleman gives to the urgent need, and does not enrich the rich. '

It means that there is no need to add icing on the cake to those who have enough, but to give to those who are poor and give them a helping hand!

My grandfather once said to me in a lucky way: "You don't need to pour too much tea for the dignitaries, but for the poor and miserable people, you have to pour tea and water, because they will remember you for a long time and be grateful! "

Grandpa was over 80 at that time, and he was full of vicissitudes and changes in the world.Thinking about it now, his words are exactly the same as Confucius' point of view.

Personally, I also agree with it very much: it is better to give charcoal in need than to add beauty to others!Not to show how noble my moral character is, just because my thoughts are like this!
But what about the reality in life?Do you believe everyone feels the same way?That's right, in today's society, there are many icing on the cake, but there are very few timely charcoal.

The icing on the cake: there are those who admire, those who climb, those who follow the wind, those who follow others and those who join in the fun... The mentality of 'throwing one's peaches and expecting the other party to return' is even more so in some people. It's 'Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows'!
Ever since, when a person's career is in full swing and his future is bright, there will always be a group of people throwing wreaths on the brocade! (For the time being, don’t ask what kind of mentality you have)
In fact, the flowers are already blooming, how much more colorful can adding another flower be?Is it your stroke that can make the finishing touch?Also, there are too many people who add flowers to the cake, and those who are added flowers may not remember who you are, I am afraid it is just a passing cloud, floating in front of others, without leaving a trace of mark!
There are so many people who add to the icing on the cake, but there are very few people who can give charcoal in a timely manner.

"The wine and meat of the wealthy family stinks, and the road is frozen to death" is the best portrayal of the warmth and coldness of human nature!
When you are down and out or weak, how many people can stand by your side and really give you warmth, support and help?A frustrated person may not be afraid of the pain of falling, but he must be afraid of being forgotten!

At this time, a little love and care from others, even a single spark, will light up and warm his whole heart!When a person is suffering from hunger and cold, if you give him a few steamed buns and a bowl of hot soup, he will be grateful and remember you for the rest of his life.

If you want to ask me what is timely charcoal, then let me tell you, this is timely charcoal!

As a friend, we don't ask for icing on the cake, but we ask for help in a timely manner.

Life is not always smooth sailing, when "the west wind withered the green trees last night", looking at the end of the world, what you need is someone to help you build bridges and ladders, and send charcoal in the snow.

The person who helps you at this time is your real friend.When you cross the dangerous peak. When "Looking at all the mountains and small mountains", those who sent you a garland.People who call you brothers and sisters, you have to be careful.Perhaps the friendship they offer you is not genuine and reliable.

Flowers can be eye-catching, but charcoal can warm the heart!The clusters of flowers are like fleeting smoke, fleeting; perhaps it is the little spark that stays in the heart forever, because the spark can also be branded!
Those who add icing on the cake for others may only get a polite smile, but those who give charcoal in need get a grateful look.How can the inner loss of the former be compared with the fulfillment and happiness of the latter?Gratitude and gratitude are not the same level of meaning!
Another way of thinking, have you found out if you are careful?From the perspective of self, in fact, "giving charcoal" and "adding flowers" are all a kind of help to others.There is no distinction between praise and criticism. The reason why such a state of the world appears in reality.The main reason is that those who "send charcoal" or "add flowers" have not grasped the mentality!
Those who "give charcoal" often feel that it is not profitable to pay, and avoid those who "need charcoal" for fear of being too late; those who "add flowers" are eager to go after them, often because of impure motives.

If you put aside the trend of interests, those who "send charcoal" share a share of warmth with compassion and kindness to those who "need charcoal" in the snow.

In short, no matter "giving charcoal" or "adding flowers", when helping others.Only by not attaching too much intention to it can it be called perfection!In this situation of people's hearts, both giving charcoal in the snow and icing on the cake can make a good story.

Xu Chang understands the difference between giving charcoal in a timely manner and icing on the cake, if a person has the conditions.Of course he wanted to send charcoal in a timely manner, and Xu Chang actually thought so in his heart, but.The powerful influence of Yushi District's management has been pressing in the bottom of Xu Chang's heart, so Xu Chang has to think carefully.

This is a martial arts secret environment.The real decision is made by the upper echelons of the martial arts secret realm, not the Commander Hall in Beiping.In a country where you fight against the local authorities, the consequences... Xu Chang can imagine what the consequences would be.

Perhaps such consequences are indifferent to the warrior army, and they can bear it, but such consequences are too serious for ordinary families like Xuchang and the others.

Xuchang’s family, even if they go back hundreds of years, are ordinary people, how can they have the confidence to fight against the management of Yushi District? You can know the golden eagle knights and black nightmare horse heavy cavalry who show great power on the earth.

It is precisely because of these worries that Xu Chang hesitates in his heart.

What Xu Jie said just now is indeed very reasonable. If he handed over this gold mine to the warrior army, that is to give charcoal to the warrior army in a timely manner. The benefits that his family will get will be the greatest, the most satisfying to them, and the most important thing. most comfortable.

However, if this gold mine is handed over to the lost management, then Xu Chang's actions will be just icing on the cake.

The gold that the management of the Yushi District gets from the Jade Pagoda every day is not a small amount. Now that such a gold mine is added, it does not have any decisive effect on the management of the Yushi District. The top is the icing on the cake.

Therefore, the amount of rewards Xu Chang's family will receive will not be very large.

Of course, even if this number is not a big number in the hearts of the management of Yushi District, but for the Xuchang family, it is already an astronomical figure. At that time, the Xuchang family will be very happy Happy.

However, not everyone is happy here, at least, Xu Chang will have a trace of guilt in his heart. He discovered such a large gold mine, but he handed over the gold mine to the management of Yushi District instead of If it is handed over to the armed forces, isn't that tantamount to exhaustion and exclusion!At that time, if this matter is found out by members of the Warrior Army, then the Xuchang family...

Hey... Thinking of this, Xu Chang sighed heavily, his head is getting bigger, and now he really doesn't know how to choose.

"Xiaojie, it would be great if things are really as you think. I also want to give this thing to the warrior army (the term gold mine is not spoken by Xu Chang, just in case), but you have to Thinking that this is not China, this is the secret world of martial arts, and the masters in the secret world of martial arts are not the elders of the command hall in Beiping, but the upper echelons of the secret world of martial arts.

We can give this thing to the warrior army, but.At that time, if this causes dissatisfaction among the upper echelons of the martial arts secret realm, what will our family do at that time?
The martial arts secret environment is definitely the best place for parents to retire.If the upper echelons of the Wulin Secret Realm hate our family because of this incident, they will drive our family out of the Wulin Secret Realm.What shall we do then?
This is still from a good point of view. If some upper-level figures in the martial arts secret realm directly attack us because they are dissatisfied with our family, how can we resist at that time, how can the warrior army resist? !It will be too late for us to regret it, hey...! "Xu Chang sighed heavily again: "Xiaojie, things are very difficult! "

"Yeah, things are really difficult!" Xu Jie repeated Xu Chang's words, and now he also feels that things are very difficult.On the side of the warrior army, their family can't afford to offend, and on the side of Yushi district management, Xu Chang's family still can't afford to offend. Now Xu Jie feels that they are really embarrassed!
"Hey...!" A heavy sigh sounded by the fire, and both Xu Chang and Xu Jie fell silent...

"Crackling...!" A few times, the firewood in the fire exploded a few times. At this time, Xu Jie raised his head and shook his hands.Then he said with a firm face: "Brother, I thought about it, we still hand this thing over to the warrior army."

"Oh, why?" Xu Chang asked without turning his head.

"Brother. I think this way. We don't know how big this thing is now. Brother, you and the monkey's estimate is just from the eyes of ordinary people like us. Hundreds of millions. Billions of money are in the In the eyes of ordinary people like us, it is indeed a huge sum of money, but such a sum of money is nothing in the eyes of those upper class people, let alone the management of Yushi District.

I believe that even if billions of dollars are in front of them, these people don't bother to look at it.For the management of Yushi District, they don't need the money on the earth at all, and only some precious cultivation resources can move their hearts.

So, brother, we are now taking an item of unknown value to the management of Yushi District, hehe, whether they will see us or not is a matter of opinion, brother, do you think it makes sense? "

"Huh...!" Xu Chang exclaimed in surprise: "Xiaojie, what you said is indeed very reasonable. In our current identities, it is really very interesting to ask the management of Yushi District with such an unknown thing. The big ones may not be seen at all, Xiaojie, you are amazing!"

Xu Chang praised Xu Jie excitedly. Xu Jie's words completely opened up his heart, and now Xu Chang knew what he should choose.

"Hehe..." Xu Jie laughed embarrassedly at Xu Chang's praise, and then Xu Jie continued while the iron was hot: "Brother, besides, the two of us are Chinese after all, and such precious things are not given to the warrior army." , to whom?!

Whether this thing is handed over to the management of Yushi District or to the warrior army, the things our family got are all astronomical figures. Since they are also astronomical figures, why should we give this thing to other people?We and the warrior army are both descendants of the dragon, and we are all a family! "

Having said that, Xu Jie breathed a sigh of relief, and then he said firmly: "Brother, I don't want to be scolded by people poking my spine when I spend money in the future. Brother, we are all descendants of the dragon!"

Xu Jie finished the last few words with a pleading tone. When Xu Chang told him the news of the gold mine, Xu Jie had already decided in his heart to hand over the gold mine to the warrior army.

So why Xu Jie decided to hand over the gold mine to the warrior army so quickly, the reason is actually very simple, that is, Xu Jie is Chinese!He is the descendant of the dragon!

Chinese people are also known as sons and daughters of China, descendants of Yanhuang, descendants of the dragon, etc. "Chinese" has multiple meanings. It has a narrow sense of nationality and a broad concept. It even has different identifications on various occasions or positions.

In addition to the objective definition, usually the identification (value factor) between the person himself and the surrounding society also plays a very important role.Now it refers to all those who have the passports and nationality of the People's Republic of China and the former China-Republic of China.

Defined by the concept of "geography": people born or living in China; defined by the concept of "race": mainly yellow race.

Defined by the concept of "clan": refers to "Chinese" or "Chinese descent" (people whose ancestors come from China and have Chinese descent, regardless of whether they have mixed blood or how many generations ago their ancestors came from China).

Chinese or ethnic Chinese do not necessarily have Chinese nationality.Most of the early overseas Chinese retained Chinese nationality, and today most overseas Chinese have usually obtained the nationality of the country of residence.Generally only identify themselves as Chinese rather than Chinese.

The Chinese nation is famous for having a variety of traditional festivals, according to the record in "Tong Sheng".There are at least 9 major festivals, 24 solar terms and more than 140 festivals in a year. In other words, there is one festival in an average of two days in a year.

A festival is a social activity day that people carry out customs and commemorative significance with specific themes as they move with seasons, time and phenology.

The origin and development of festivals are a process of gradual formation, imperceptible improvement, and gradual infiltration into social life.

Like the development of society, it is the product of the development of human society to a certain stage. Most of these festivals in ancient my country are related to astronomy, calendar, and mathematics.It is related to the solar terms that were later divided. From the literature, it can be traced back to "Xia Xiaozheng" and "Shangshu". By the Warring States Period, the 24 solar terms divided in a year were basically complete. Later traditional festivals were all related to these solar terms. closely related.

The solar terms provide the preconditions for the emergence of festivals, and most of the festivals have already begun to emerge in the pre-Qin period.However, the richness and popularity of the custom content requires a long process of development.

The earliest customs and activities were related to primitive worship, superstition and taboos; myths and legends added a bit of romance to the festival; there was also the impact and influence of religion on the festival; some historical figures were endowed with eternal commemoration and penetrated into the festival, all of which, Integrate and condense the content of the festival.It makes Chinese festivals have a deep sense of history.

By the Han Dynasty, the main traditional festivals in our country had been finalized, and it is often said that these festivals originated in the Han Dynasty.The Han Dynasty was the first period of great development after the unification of China, with political and economic stability.Science and culture have developed greatly, which provides good social conditions for the final formation of the festival.

The festival developed into the Tang Dynasty.It has been liberated from the atmosphere of primitive worship, taboo and mystery, and transformed into an entertainment etiquette type, becoming a real festive occasion.Since then, the festival has become joyful, festive, rich and colorful, and many sports and entertainment activities appeared, and soon became a fashion and became popular. These customs have continued to develop and last for a long time.

Agriculture was the foundation of ancient China, and agriculture was the lifeblood of people's livelihood in ancient times, just like today's urban life: if the economic operation is stopped, the whole society will be paralyzed immediately.The Spring Festival and the Winter Festival are just the two important festivals derived from farming and rest in a year.

For farmers who depend on the sky for food, the beginning of spring is worth celebrating.

The Spring Festival is also called the Chinese New Year. Nian is the original meaning of Nian, which means the abundance of five grains. Because more grains are harvested once a year, Nian is gradually extended from the name of the agricultural production cycle to the name of the festival.

Originating from the wax festival in primitive society, the Spring Festival is not only a day to celebrate the harvest at the end of the year, but also a good time to start the new year's agricultural life.

In ancient times, halfway through the twelfth lunar month (that is, the twelfth month of the lunar calendar), it was full of preparations for the New Year. It was really colorful: from the sending of the Kitchen God on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month to the Lantern Festival on the [-]th of the first lunar month, there were folk festivals. Beaming happy hour.

As for the winter festival, it is the winter solstice, also called the long solstice, the short solstice, and the solstice, etc., and the solstice means reaching the extreme (it is also called the second solstice with the summer solstice in ancient society).

Ancient society attached great importance to the winter solstice, and there was a saying that the winter solstice was as big as the year. After the Han Dynasty, it was also known as the winter festival.On this day, family reunions, buying delicacies, offering sacrifices to ancestors, and celebrating reunions are just like the big festival of the New Year.

After entering the modern society, the importance of the Winter Festival seems to be diminishing day by day. However, in today's Chinese rural areas, because the winter solstice is the starting point of climate change, farmers start to prepare for farming as soon as the Winter Festival arrives. Therefore, many traditional winter festival customs, to varying degrees It has also been passed on, such as eating winter festival wine, winter solstice group or winter solstice dumplings.

As for urban residents, it is commonplace for urban residents to pay close attention to the winter festival and buy various nutritional supplements.

In ancient society, people believed that nature has life and magical powers, so they always expressed awe to mountains, rivers, rivers, lakes, rivers and seas, and prayed for their blessings and blessings, forming primitive beliefs.

It was believed that religious rituals ensured the capture of game, the regular sequence of seasons and even a good harvest.This kind of sacrificial activity based on primitive belief.Once it becomes a custom, it becomes the embryonic form of a festival.

It is common to see the symbolic patterns of social sacrifices and ancestor spirits on various unearthed ritual vessels.And the scenes of crowds gathering or busy singing and dancing reflect these two prayer ceremonies that are deeply influenced by the heavenly father and the earthly mother, praying to the heaven and earth for a good harvest or good weather.Most of them evolved into festivals for the joy of the people.

For example, the Lantern Festival evolved from offering sacrifices to the most honorable god Taiyi (also written as Taiyi God), and it was basically finalized by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty;

The Mid-Autumn Festival directly originated from the ancient activities of worshiping heaven, autumn worship and moon worship (sacrificing the moon at the autumn equinox night);

Another example is the Qixi Festival, which is also based on the premise of confirming the existence of the Queen Mother in the sky: just because the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl violated the commandments of the gods, they were blocked on both sides of the Tianhe River and could only meet once a year.

It is worth noting that the evolution of Chinese festivals with strong religious and sacrificial features often incorporates more myths and legends, so they appear more colorful and full of human touch.

So why do we say that we are descendants of the dragon?
There are many theories about this.The related myth interpretation is as follows.

According to legend, Emperor Xuanyuan defeated Chi You after 53 battles, quelled the war, unified the three major tribes and 72 small tribes, and established the first country in the world with a common master.

The Yellow Emperor intends to develop a unified totem (similar to the current national flag, or a national symbol).At first, the counselors under the Yellow Emperor suggested not to make new totems.The reason is that the Yellow Emperor's merits and virtues are immeasurable, and no one in the world can match them, so they use the totem of the Yellow Emperor's tribe to rule the world.

The Yellow Emperor said: "You must not do this. All tribes, big and small, support me as their elder. How can I live up to the expectations of the people, act arbitrarily, bully the small with the big, and bully the weak with the strong?"

Then the Yellow Emperor said: "What Chi You did, what he did to his brothers and tribes. We must never do it."

The Yellow Emperor asked Cang Jie to write a notice, requesting that all tribes, large and small, return the used totems.Donate all of them, and then a representative from each tribe, big or small, will be sent to the Yellow Emperor Palace to discuss and formulate a new totem.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the notice was sent out, all the tribes, big and small, sent the totems that the tribe had previously used, and hundreds of them were placed at once.

Among them, various totems such as snake totem, eagle totem, horse totem, fish totem, bear, leopard, sheep, elephant, dog, etc., can confuse the Yellow Emperor. Which totem should we choose?
He couldn't make up his mind for a while, so the Yellow Emperor summoned his advisers, Chang Xian, Dahong, Fenghou, Li Mu, Cang Jie, etc., to ask for their opinions.

You say something, he says something, everyone has their own opinions, some people agree to use this totem, some people advocate the use of that totem, in the end, it is still not settled.

Dahong said anxiously: "The Yellow Emperor has too many thoughts, just use a totem at random, why bother to choose and choose like this, it's too troublesome."

The Yellow Emperor said patiently: "This is a newly unified large tribe. It is not that simple. We must be cautious in everything, and we must not be hasty. We must take care of the emotions of the original tribes, big and small. We must create a totem with a symbol of unity, otherwise , and there is a possibility of splitting."

After hearing Huangdi's words, all the counselors thought it was very reasonable and praised him again and again.

Only Dahong hurriedly corrected him and said: "I lead soldiers to fight, and I don't understand such things as totems, so I should pretend that I didn't say anything just now."

Everyone laughed when they heard it.

Huangdi didn't sleep well for several days and nights to make a new totem.One night, it was raining heavily, thunder and lightning roared, and Huang Di found that there was a flash of lightning, and a bright light flashed by, which was deeply reflected in Huang Di's mind.

The next day, Huangdi called Cangjie and Fenghou alone, and told Cangjie and Fenghou the image of thunder and lightning he saw last night.

Then, the Yellow Emperor pointed to the totems of various tribes and said: "I think in order to take care of the emotions of each tribe, we should formulate such a totem according to the characteristics of the totems of each tribe: the body of a snake, the scales of a fish, the head of a horse, and the head of a lion." The nose, tiger's eyes, ox's tongue, deer's horns, elephant's tusks, sheep's whiskers, eagle's claws, and dog's tail form a special totem.

I used some of the original totems of various tribes, large and small, and if we talk about taking care of them, this is truly comprehensive.But, what is it like to make up such a totem, and what is its name? "

Cang Jie said: "Yellow Emperor, this totem is among the animals in the world, and no one can find it, and no one can forge it. I think, let's give it a name. It's called 'Dragon'! It can soar through the clouds and ride the fog, and it can overwhelm rivers and seas."

Huang Di stroked his beard.Stepping lightly, pondering for a long time.Then, decisively said: "Okay! Just call it 'Dragon'."

Since then, the dragon has become a symbol of the auspicious authority of the Chinese nation.No one can violate it, even the Yellow Emperor took the lead in worshiping it, which is the origin of the 'dragon'.

After the death of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, the ancestors agreed that the Yellow Emperor had great achievements and should ascend to heaven on a dragon.

Although the body of the Yellow Emperor was buried on the top of the Shaanxi-Xi-Huang-Mausoleum-County Bridge-mountain, people are used to thinking that the bridge-mountain only buried the clothes of the Yellow Emperor, and they couldn't bear to say that the Yellow Emperor was buried underground.

therefore. "There is a dragon in ancient China, and the ancestor of the dragon is in Huangling", which has become a folk song sung for generations.

Our Chinese nation is the descendant of the dragon, and has a profound historical origin.The dragon is a symbol of the Chinese people, and the Chinese nation proudly considers itself the "descendant of the dragon".

This is the mythological interpretation of the phrase 'We are the descendants of the dragon', followed by a scientific interpretation of the phrase.

The scientific explanation is this: the formation of the dragon records the aggregation process of the development of the ancient nation, and it is firmly engraved in the minds of the Chinese people. We are often proud of the descendants of the dragon.
There was no dragon in the world, but why is the ancient totem a dragon? The earliest legend in the ancient totem era is that Nuwa and Fuxi are the ancestors of human beings, and they all have a human head and a snake body.
With the development of history and the union of tribes, especially after Emperor Yan and Huang united in the north of Baoding, various tribes joined this big family one after another. When the horse totem tribe joined in, they added a horse head to the head of the snake, and the deer totem tribe Merge in, add antlers to the horse's head, fish tribes in, add fish scales to the snake.
Therefore, the dragon comprehensively embodies the characteristics of various animals: such as animal feet, bird tails, goatee beard...
The formation of the dragon embodies the equality and democracy of the nation, regardless of the size of the tribes merged into one family, this is a pioneering work of excellent national culture, until today, the great unity of the people of all ethnic groups still embodies this glorious tradition.
The formation of the dragon is the process of national unity and unity. This kind of national integration was basically completed in the time of Tang Yao, and the image of the dragon was determined.
According to the "Bamboo Book Chronicles" (the bamboo slips unearthed from the tomb of King Anli of Wei in the Eastern Jin Dynasty after avoiding the burning of books by Qin Shihuang and excavating Confucian scholars), Yao was born in Yiqi Mountain (in Bao-Ding --Shunping County, one kilometer southwest of the city), Yao's mother, Qingdu, belonged to the Chen Feng clan, born in the field of Douwei, in the area of ​​today's Bao-Ding-shixi-south-Tang-county and Wang-du. Tang- There is Qing-du-shan in the county, seven kilometers east of the county-city, which is said to be the place where Yao's mother lived. There is Yao's tomb in Wangdu County, and there is a Yaodi Temple in Beiguan.
When Qingdu was born, there were often yellow clouds covering it, and when he became an adult, there was often a dragon following him...Since the wind was blowing, the red dragon felt that he was pregnant, and Yao was born in Danling (that is, Yiqi Mountain) in fourteenth month. Today, Yiqi Mountain Yaomu Cave is the birthplace of Yao.
This shows that the Chilong people lived near Yiqi Mountain at that time, which further deepened the blood and flesh relationship between the dragon and the Chinese nation, and also showed that the descendants of the dragon were recognized by the world in the time of Yao.
The Chinese nation has a strong cohesion and a fine tradition of unity and unity. In the long river of history, many nations in the world have disappeared, and many of them have made outstanding contributions to mankind. For thousands of years, the Chinese nation, although After experiencing severe struggles with nature and enemies without disintegration, and growing prosperous, it is because she has a glorious overall image and a spiritual bond of unity and forge ahead, and the dragon plays a role of maintenance and centripetal.
Dragon culture has become an important part of oriental culture and has made great contributions to human civilization.
I hope that each of us Chinese can become a Chinese dragon: "The dragon can be big or small, can rise or hide; big can make clouds and fog, small can hide its shape, rise can fly between the universe, and hide can hide in the waves Within. The dragon takes advantage of the changes of time, just like a man who achieves his will and crosses the world. The dragon is a thing, comparable to the heroes of the world. Heroes are those who have great ambitions, have good plans, have the opportunity to hide the universe, and those who swallow the ambitions of the world. "

On the land of China, "dragon" can be seen everywhere, from dragon boat rowing, dragon lantern dancing, to dragon painting, dragon carving, dragon flag, etc. Dragon, deeply rooted in the hearts of Chinese people, has become a symbol of the Chinese nation.
The legend of the dragon has a long history. The oracle bone inscriptions of the Shang Dynasty already have a well-structured "dragon" character, and the patterns and legends of the dragon can be traced back to the distant prehistoric culture.
It is generally believed that all kinds of dragons in the legends are actually the totems of ancient Chinese clans. It is speculated that the tribe with the snake as its totem continued to conquer and merged with other tribes, and gradually formed the Chinese nation. His totem It also takes the characteristics of the tribal totem that was combined with the snake, with horns like a deer, head like a cow, mouth like a donkey, eyes like a shrimp, ears like an elephant, scales like a fish, beards like a man, belly like a snake, feet like a phoenix, and the last fight. Synthesize the image commonly worshiped by the Chinese nation—the dragon.
The dragon embodies the great union and unity of the various tribes in China. Its strong vitality in people's minds is also a symbol of the immeasurable creation of the Chinese nation.
With the dragon as the totem, it is more accurate to call it "the people of the dragon". The Chinese are "the people of the dragon, the descendants of the Yellow Emperor." Support is my biggest motivation..)
