What does "Facing the green mountains produce filial sons, and turning your back to the plain mountains produces wise men"? What does it mean? Is there any moral?
There is a saying in the countryside: "A filial son will emerge when facing the green mountains, and a wise man will emerge when his back faces the plain mountains." I wonder if you have heard of it? What kind of meaning is there in this proverb? What do they all refer to? I think if you want to know more, you have to talk about the deeper meaning here.
China is a country with thousands of years of civilized history, and it is also the only remaining country among the four major ancient countries in the world. Over the past thousands of years, China has provided great achievements in politics, economy, culture, life and other aspects. The world has left behind valuable knowledge.
Especially in the field of numerology, he left a profound mark on future generations.
Chinese people have always attached great importance to Feng Shui, especially places with mountains and rivers. Therefore, many strange stories have appeared in various major novel forums. Although some are fabricated, some are eye-catching. I doubt it, but I have to say that there are a lot of things in it that can still touch people's hearts. I can't explain it even if I don't understand a little bit of numerology.
It can be seen from this that ancient Chinese people attached great importance to the choice of living environment, and this concept is reflected in the countryside.
So let’s take a look at what they represent?
1. A filial son emerges from a green mountain
Since ancient times, our country has advocated putting filial piety first, so there have been many stories about filial sons in history.
It can also be seen from this how high the status of filial piety is in people's hearts, so in order to produce filial sons from generation to generation in the family, they are also very careful about the place where they live.
So what does it mean to be a filial son in the face of Qingshan?
When talking about Qingshan here, it literally means that where there are mountains, there will be filial sons. I think this is a bit absolute.
In fact, this green mountain is not entirely a mountain.
Is it because there are no mountains in the plains that there will be no sea? I think it should still refer to the living environment.
And the ancients called the plain area the Pacific Ocean, which shows that it actually has the opposite meaning to the mountains.
In ancient times, there was a saying that Foolish Old Man moved mountains. Isn’t this the opposite of the literal meaning? Doesn't he want his grandparents and grandchildren to be filial? Therefore, the green hills here should refer to the Pacific Ocean, which is the plain area. Of course, the terrain there must be flat and the view is broad.
Perhaps in a confined place surrounded by lush vegetation.
Only such a place is a good place to nourish people. If there is such a home deep in a dense forest, you can open the doors and windows and be greeted by fresh air and pleasant scenery. How can you live there? In such an environment, it is like a fairyland on earth, how can the children be so bad!
2. Sages emerge from Pingling Mountain
In fact, this meaning should echo the previous sentence. Pingling Mountain has the aura of high mountains, which makes people feel that they can only live in such an open environment. Where there is momentum, the whole person's mind is open. Such a person has an amiable attitude and great ambitions, and is not unworthy.
In ancient times, Meng’s mother moved three times, which is actually the same reason.
For the healthy growth of her children, Meng’s mother did not hesitate to spend too much energy and financial resources, and finally moved to a school. Little Mencius lived in the sound of reading loudly every day, and it was difficult not to be affected. possible.
Also, those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are black. It tells us another truth. The environment can change a person, and the wisdom of the ancients can also be seen from it.
Unexpectedly, we have also used this wisdom to its extreme.
From the above, we can see that the meaning of these two sentences is to clarify how important the power of role models is if you want a person to be a wise man and a filial son.
Third, some personal emotions are added
Of course, it is undeniable that it should also contain the good wishes of the people. There are many children in the family, and filial piety cannot only refer to Filial piety actually also implies the child's character. On the contrary, if the character is bad, it will be evil in people's hearts.
So some parents may have some feudal ideas, so some people will really find someone who understands Feng Shui to take a look and calculate, such as the living environment or A place for ancestors to be buried.
Of course these are not necessary.
It is said that role models have the greatest power. If you want your children to be filial and capable, then you must set a good example for your children. This is what is called family tradition.
Every family has its own family tradition. This family tradition is harmony, and this is the reason why everything will be prosperous if the family is harmonious.
But also remember one sentence: be content when you are old and be sensible when you are young.
Summary:
In this world, everyone has a beautiful vision. The most important thing is that I want to be worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth.
I don’t seek to be the best, but just seek peace of mind.
It is said that one side is hell and the other is Buddha, it all depends on your own choice, and this choice affects not only yourself, but also your descendants.
Just looking at Su Shi's three masters, why do three people appear in one family? I think this is not accidental. There must be a reason. Is it related to family Feng Shui? I don’t think so!
