The five joys come uninvited, and there are many talented people in the family! What does the five joys in this proverb mean?

This world is much more exciting than we imagine. In addition to dealing with people, we also "encounter" some small animals in our daily lives. Interestingly, some small animals were written into "common sayings" by our ancient ancestors, and our "accidental encounters" with them have also been dyed with a "fantasy" color.

For example, there is a saying in the saying that is passed down orally: "Five joys come uninvited, and there are many good people in the family."

It means that if there are five kinds of small animals visiting the home, it is a good thing for the family, and there may be talents in this family.

What are these small animals? You may have encountered it in your daily life.

The "five joys" here are generally magpies, swallows, snakes, bats, and dogs.

It is worth noting that the "Five Happinesses" in different regions are slightly different. In some places, the "Five Happinesses" have "spider" in them, and in other places, the "Five Happinesses" have "spider" in them. "Turtle", Yan Xiaoer will talk about the more common "Five Happinesses" here. 1. Magpies, swallows and bats

Let’s first talk about the “magpies”, “swallows” and “bats” with wings in the “Five Happinesses”.

There are some "romantic" opinions about "magpies".

For example, it is said in the "Qin Jing":

"When a magpie calls upward, it is cloudy; when it calls down, it is rain; when people hear its sound, it makes them happy."

In other words, according to the observations of the ancients, magpies are very sensitive to weather changes. At the same time, magpies do not like humid environments in terms of living habits and prefer dry environments. Here, when magpies visit our little home, it means that our living environment is dry, warm and livable, at least not averse to cold and damp.

There is a certain reason for raising good talents in such a bright and warm home.

Let’s talk about swallows.

As for "swallows", friends from rural areas probably know that swallows building nests at home represent "auspiciousness". And this statement is not "groundless".

Similar to magpies, swallows also have a strong sense of weather. Swallows do not like cold and damp places, so swallows have relatively strict requirements for the location of their nests.

The place where swallows build their nests is generally a place with sufficient light, good ventilation, warmth and comfort. Here, if there are swallows building nests at home, it means that the ventilation and lighting conditions of the home are better. If the living environment is good, it will naturally be easier to produce talents.

Let’s talk about “bat”.

As for "bats" flying into the home, in our country, there is actually a saying of "luck has arrived". After all, the word "bat" in "bat" is homophonic to "福". At the same time, in ancient my country, people would apply bats and other auspicious patterns on porcelain or jade to pray for the safety of their descendants. 2. Snakes and Dogs

Having talked about the flying ones among the "Five Happinesses", let's talk about "Snake" and "Dog".

As for "snake", people's feelings towards it are relatively "complex". In our country, there is the fable "The Farmer and the Snake", and there are also poignant love legends such as "The Legend of the White Snake".

We know that "snakes" can hurt people, and encountering "venomous snakes" is a very dangerous thing. So, why can "snake" be selected into the Five Happinesses?

We know that as descendants of Yan and Huang, we have totem worship of "dragon". The "snake" is the animal closest to the "dragon" we can see. Although its image is not as glorious as the "dragon", it is still "mysterious" enough. At the same time, "snake" is also a symbol of longevity. People who practice yoga even think that "snake" can live for hundreds of years. There is also a "snake" in our twelve zodiac animals. Therefore, snakes are also one of the "five joys".

Let’s talk about “dog”.

Dogs have been known for their "loyalty" to humans since ancient times. They are indeed humans' "good friends". Throughout the ages, most families with dogs at home have a thriving population.

In ancient Chinese culture, dogs belong to the "Xu" of the twelve earthly branches. During the day, 7 to 9 pm is also the most important leisure time for people. This time is called " "Xu Shi", also known as "Dog Time". And in our "Twelve Zodiac Signs", the dog also has its place.

In this regard, for the sudden visit of the "dog", from ancient times to the present, from our oral sayings, this is a "great joy". The dog chooses you, which is a life in the world. Is there anything more gratifying than choosing to be "loyal" to another life? 3. Behind the "Five Happinesses", there is the "awe" of our ancestors towards other lives

In fact, Yan Xiaoer has always felt that there are many meaningful things hidden by our ancestors in the common sayings that we pass on orally. "wisdom".

There are birds and animals in the "Five Happinesses". They are all common "animals" in our lives. We must learn to live in harmony with them.

Sometimes, it is not that these little animals suddenly visit "our home", but that we destroy the "place" where they have lived for generations without their permission.

And the so-called "five joys come uninvited, and capable people come out in large numbers at home" that we pass down orally is more like our ancestors warning future generations in this way: we must treat the people who live with us A person who knows how to "revere" other lives will have a broad mind and a warm heart. Only such a person has the potential to achieve a great career.

At the same time, our clever ancestors cleverly combined the common small animals in our lives with "good omens", which not only appeased people's "preparation" for other lives, but also made the lives of small animals more comfortable. "It's better." This trick is really clever and worth learning from. What do you think?
