Learn happiness from Pig

When China's Lunar New Year is approaching, will you give a greeting like "I wish you happiness like a pig "?

It is estimated that most people will not say this, because in the traditional Chinese concept, pig is synonymous with "stupid, lazy". If you say that others are like pig, people don't want to worry about it. But in Western culture, stupid animals are not only stupid, but also happy!

Why does pig represent happiness? Generally, people will think that it is a simple pig mind, "pig's head does not know the taste", so all day "silly! However, I believe that pig, as Su Dongpo said, is "wise and foolish" and has gained the true meaning of the ancient wisdom of China. Someone may laugh at me. You are not crazy about it, or "Zhu Ren" is saying "Pig talk! I would like to share with you the fact that Mr. pig has been treated in Chinese and western cultures. This shows that the results of the same problem are different from different perspectives. It can be said that the distance is different from the ridge side ", can we also find another way to analyze Mr. Pig's "Happy source?

When talking about the old pig, the first thing you think of is that it can eat. However, despite its appetite, it has low requirements for survival conditions. Anything that can be eaten or left by humans, whether it is raw or fresh, is a thing of its fruit, and it is enough to eat, "contentment is always happy "! What's even more amazing is that they still know the principle of "being in the lower belly" in the sutra. Where did this start? "Abdominal" refers to the material conditions for the basic survival of people or animals, and is very limited. "Pig drinking river, only full stomach", the same is true for pig. But people are different. In addition to "being the belly", we often need to "be the eyes ". Isn't there a saying that "eat in your mouth, look at the bowl, think of the pot? "Object" not only represents the eyes, but also represents the desires of the heart and the heart. Currently, businessmen are very savvy. If people are "people-oriented", they will boldly open a self-help restaurant. They will pay 30 or 50 yuan each time, so that you can pick and eat at will, in this way, there will be no loss and profit. However, no merchant in the world dared to create a self-help large mall. How many things can be left wherever "eyes" go? One of the reasons why the old pig is happy is that there is no desire for "eyes" in his heart, and there will never be any "eye red" when he sees anything except happiness!

Another reason Mr. Pig maintains his happy mood is to stick to Lao Tzu's "weak pole, keep quiet. "To be imaginary" means to control, mediate, clarify, or exclude desires, prejudice, jealousy, and other moods. "To keep quiet" means to make the mood calm, calm, and calm, in xujing, You need to cultivate your mind. The old pig has done a very well in this regard. It can be said that it has reached a very high level. It can be illustrated by a single example. Nowadays, when people's living standards are improved, pets and animals are everywhere. In addition to common cats and dogs, they also spread to some daunting small animals in the past, but none of them are pig. Mr. Pig will naturally think that, although the dog and cat have contributed to mankind, my contribution to the old pig is "broken up and broken down! Why can't I be favored? Although I once had dissatisfaction and jealousy in my heart, when I think of Lao Tzu's teaching, I feel as calm as I have been. If this is not the case, all of them will become "skinny" if they will get angry all day!

The most fundamental reason for pig's optimism lies in the good nature. Since its ancestor was tame by humans, it has been in harmony with people. In Chinese characters, the family is inseparable from pig. Similar pig can also care for each other. According to British scientists, pig is happy to live in a group. If they are independently captive, they will suffer from melancholy. Cool pig never Target anyone. Even the pig in Journey to the West has no evil ideas, except for its selfishness. His elegant and happy image not only makes this famous book and related film and TV series a lot more colorful, but also transmits "Joy" to the audience. Pig's goodness of nature can also find many origins from the ancient wisdom, which is omitted here.

Of course, some people are still in conflict with each other: What is the basis for you to say that stupid pig is a smart pig? I said yes, but due to space limitations, let's just give two examples. In the economics of game theory, there is a famous example of the "smart pig game. The general idea is that there is a big pig and a pig in the pigsty, there is a pig slot in the circle, and the other is installed with a button to control the pig supply. Every time you press a button, there will be 10 units of pig into the slot, but whoever presses the button will first pay the cost of 2 units. After the big pig and pig passed the game, the pig finally chose to wait. The intelligence of smart pig inspires people, so that some small enterprises can learn "free-riding" in their business operations. In some cases, they adopt the "patient wait" strategy to allow large enterprises in their counterparts to develop the market first, then follow up to achieve the purpose of doing something for nothing. Another story is a half-self-carried novel written by a woman named "tears all night", titled "A man who falls in love with pigs". The book describes a hero surnamed Zhu. After many twists and turns, he finally got the heart of the heroine. She thinks that although he is as boring as a pig, he won't say sweet words, but his confession is so romantic. His unpretentious confession deeply touched me. My sixth sense tells me that a man like a pig will be the person who will accompany me for the rest of my life ." You see, isn't this "pig-like man" winning sweet love by "wise and foolish !?

In Journey to the West, Tang Miao gave the pig a saying: "Understanding" and "thinking" Let him go through the world and try to understand the energy, ability, and ability of people. What the attackers did not expect is that today people perceive more and more from pigs. The Spring Festival is coming soon. The happy, complete, and prosperous year of pig will really begin. I sincerely wish you a happy year like a pig!
